"I'm Sensitive"

"I'm Sensitive"



I was thinking that I might fly today
Just to disprove all the things you say
It doesn't take a talent to be mean
Your words can crush things that are unseen
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
You always tell me that is impossible
To be respected and be a girl
Why's it gotta be so complicated?
Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated?
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
I was thinking that it might do some good
If we robbed the cynics and took all their food
That way what they believe will have taken place
And we'll give it to anybody who has some faith
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
I have this theory that if we're told we're bad
Then that's the only idea we'll ever have
But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
Someday we will become what we see
'Cause anyone can start a conflict
It's harder yet to disregard it
I'd rather see the world from another angle
We are everyday angels
Be careful with me 'cause I'd like to stay that way

"In My Room"

"In My Room"


I've often heard
Though it sounds absurd
There's a certain kind of person
Who just to get a thrill...

Walks through the desert just for something to do
Flies through the skies with no parachute
Some folks climb to the highest mountain
Other folks bathe in Italian fountains

Swim to the icy polar caps
Wearing nothing but shorts and a plastic cap
But I know a place where I can do all that

[Chorus 1]
In my room I have a stack of books
Where worlds unfold if I just look
In my room I can go anywhere
Just close my door and I am there
I can fight a ninja on my bed
All I have to do is just knock him on the head
There's nothing I can't do
In my room

Some folks drag themselves to Timbuktu
Just to see a monkey wearing funny shoes
Some folks float all the way to China
For wonton soup in a Hong Kong diner

They take lessons to be fluent in mouse
Or go to Spain to learn to sew a blouse
Well I can do all that without leaving my house

[Chorus 2]
In my room I have a stack of books
Where worlds unfold if I just look
In my room I can go anywhere
Just close my door and I am there
I can have Christmas in June
Or build a rocket and walk on the moon
I can do what I want to
In my room

In my room - my lamp becomes an Eiffle Tower
In my room - my dog wears a cape and has special powers
In my room - I spend hours and hours
Deep in the jungle playing with all the boys and girls

[Chorus 3]
In my room I have a stack of books
Where worlds unfold if I just look
In my room I can go anywhere
Just close my door and I am there
I can sneak around like a crafty raccoon
Give me some pots and I'll play you a tune
There's nothing I can't do
In my room
There's nothing I can't do
In my room

"Innocence Maintained"

"Innocence Maintained"



Ophelia drowned in the water
Crushed by her own weight Hitler loved little blue eyed boys
And it drove him to hate
Birds always grow silent before the night descends
'Cause nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend
A hero's torso built of steel and Novocain
His heart a bitter beat inside a bloodless frame
There was a hole inside his soul a manicure could not fill
So he found himself a whore to love while daisies choked in the window sill

We've made houses for hatred
It's time we made a place
Where people's souls may be seen and made safe
Be careful with each other
These fragile flames
For innocence can't be lost
It just needs to be maintained

A small town in Ohio
Two boys are filled with violence
And darkness spreads its legs for hate and ignorance
We are given to a god to put our faith therein
But to be forgiven, we must first believe in sin

We've made houses for hatred
It's time we made a place
Where people's souls may be seen and made safe
Be careful with each other
These fragile flames
For innocence can't be lost
It just needs to be maintained

I want to live bravely
And love without fear
I want always to feel the wings of grace near
We all will be Christed when we hear ourselves say
We are that to which we pray

We've made houses for hatred
It's time we made a place
Where people's souls maybe seen and made safe
Be careful with each other
These fragile flames

We've built houses for hatred
It's time we made a place
Where people's souls may be seen and made safe
Be careful with each other
These fragile flames
For innocence can't be lost
It just needs to be maintained

"Intuition"

"Intuition"


I'm just a simple girl
In a high tech digital world
I really try to understand
All the powers that rule this land
They say Miss J's big butt is boss
Kate Moss can't find a job
In a world of post modern fad
What was good now is bad

It's not hard to understand
Just follow this simple plan

Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your Intuition
It's easy to find
Just follow your heart baby

You look at me
but you're not quite sure
Am I it or could you get more?
You learn cool from magazines
You learn love from Charlie Sheen

If you want me let me know
I promise I won't say no

[CHORUS REPEAT]

You got something that you want me to sell
Sell your sin. Just cash in.
You got something that you want me to tell
You'll love me. Wait and see.

If you want me
Don't play games
I promise
it won't be in vain
Uh-uh-uh

[CHORUS]

"It Doesn't Hurt Right Now"
(feat. Rodney Crowell)

"It Doesn't Hurt Right Now"
(feat. Rodney Crowell)



[Rodney Crowell:]
It doesn't hurt right now
I can breathe again
There's change in the air I can see and hear
It doesn't hurt right now
And I can talk about it
The worst of the shape is the least of my fears

[Jewel:]
Could you ever see
Just you and me
Alone in this room
Or does he make it three?
I'm sorry sounds so small
Compared to what's true
I lied to myself
When I lied to you

[Rodney Crowell:]
It doesn't hurt right now
I can hear what you had to say
I can forgive but forget not yet
It doesn't hurt right now
But we both know it will again
Ghosts of the past based on regret

[Jewel:]
Needs are like rivers
You can't stop their will
A heart that goes hungry
Demands to be filled
I see that now
I was lonely and I took the bait
But I long to be filled by you, it's never too late

[Rodney Crowell:]
It doesn't hurt right now
So what does that say about me
I learned to be known a long time ago
To soften the blow
It doesn't hurt right now

[Jewel:]
I hurt right now

[Rodney Crowell:]
And I know what you want from me

[Jewel:]
Oh, won't you give it to me

[Rodney Crowell:]
I moved out of my heart

[Jewel & Rodney Crowell:]
A long time ago

[Jewel:]
Long time ago

"Jesus Loves You"

"Jesus Loves You"



They say that Jesus loves you
What about me?
They say that money breaks you
I still wanna see
They say you're only half alive
Till you give extra whitening a try

Well I wanna see, I wanna see
What can you do for me?

Showing ta-tas on the TV is OK
I wanna be OK, too
Having my picture in a magazine makes me special
How special are you?
They say if I donate, even I
Can buy a lot in heaven before I die?

Well I wanna see, I wanna see
What can you do for me?

I want someone else to pack my lunch
Gonna get get someone else to pull the punch
Pay a psychic for romance
Gonna pay a priest for a...
Will you give me a second chance
Will you give me a second chance

They say abortion will send you straight to a fiery hell
That is if the fanatics don't beat satin to the kill
It's not what I can do for anybody
It's what there body can do for me

Well I wanna see, I wanna see
What can you do for me?

They say that Jesus loves you
What about me?

"Jupiter"

"Jupiter"



Venus De Milo
In her half-baked shell
Understood the nature
Of love very well
She said, "A good love is delicious
You can't get enough too soon
It makes you so crazy
You want to swallow the moon"

Oh-oh, oh-oh, Jupiter
Oh-oh, oh-oh, be still my little heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh, love is a flame
Neither timid nor tame

Take these stars from my crown
Let the years fall down
Lay me out in firelight
Let my skin feel the night
Fasten me to your side
And say it'll be soon
You make me so crazy, baby
Could swallow the moon

My hands are two travelers
They've crossed oceans and lands
But they are too small
On the continent of your skin
And wandering, wandering
I could spend my life
Traveling the length
Of your body each night

Oh-oh, oh-oh, Jupiter
Oh-oh, oh-oh, be still my little heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh, love is a flame
Neither timid nor tame

Take these stars from my crown
Let the years fall down
Lay me out in firelight
Let my skin feel the night
Fasten me to your side
And say it'll be soon
You make me so crazy, baby
Could swallow the moon
Swallow the moon

Oh-oh, oh-oh, Jupiter
Oh-oh, oh-oh, be still my little heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh, love is a flame
Neither timid nor tame

Take these stars from my crown
Let the years fall down
Lay me out in firelight
Let my skin feel the night
Fasten me to your side
And say it'll be soon
You make me so crazy, baby
Could swallow the moon
Swallow the moon
Swallow the moon
Swallow the moon

"Just Like Penguins Do"

"Just Like Penguins Do"


Imagine now if you will
A ship in sail to the arctic seas
Dawn is rising the breeze is still
The ocean frozen underneath

Icebergs like diamonds floating by
Reflecting like gem stones in your eyes

We're in the land of the midnight sun
Explorers you and I

[Chorus]
So take my hand
Turn your head to the sky
Northern lights shine on what's true
That you will always love me
And I, you
Just like penguins do

How strangely silent is the North
A blanket of snow quiets everything
There's no scent upon the wind
As ice encases even dreams

But if you still your heart beat
You'll hear ptarmagin and polar bear sing

Travelers here in The last frontier
Seeing what few have seen

[Chorus]
Back upon our boat so gently rocking
Like a cloak, darkness slowly falling
The sky lets out a sigh
As stars go floating by

[Chorus x2]
That you will always love me
And I, you
Just like penguins do

"Kiss The Flame"

"Kiss The Flame"



Please love let's make no impartial vow
Let all fall away
That's not crucial now
I want to brave love, one that makes me weak in the knees
I want a crazy, crazy love
One that makes me come undone at the seams
'Cause I'm tired of all these pilgrims, these puritans, these thieves
Of all these unbelievers
who whittle love down at the knees
Let these swift roads destroy themselves
Let the world fall into its sleep
For we shall be spared
We shall be left standing
To face what's left of concrete and honey
Kiss the flame
Let's run with the hunted, the untamed
Kiss the flame
Embrace the faceless, the unnamed
Kiss the flame
There are nightmares on the sidewalks
There are jokes on TV
There are people selling thoughtlessness
with such casualty
But wherefore art thou Romeo
where have all the brave men gone
Show me one man who know his own heart
To him I shall belong
Kiss the flame
Let's run with the hunted, the untamed
Kiss the flame
Embrace the faceless, the unnamed
Kiss the flame
Kiss the flame
Kiss the flame
Please love let's make no impartial vow
