CHOSEN ONES
Remember the time
When we were apart
Nothing around but the sound of half of our hearts
We are
The chosen ones
We’re virgins
From the start of the silver moon up above
We’re gravity bound but we float on an image of love
Because
The chosen ones will never get enough
Was it your car or was it your clothes
Maybe that beautiful diamond pierced through your nose
Suppose
The chosen ones aren’t really meant to
Know about darkness whose blanket we trust
It kisses our lips that eclipse all the sweet sighs of lust
We must
Be chosen ones
We’re made of love and dust
Remember all of the pretty words that you said
In my bed
We are chosen ones
Don’t need to look ahead
Was I just sleeping or am I still dead
Where are your clothes and the dirty books that you read
You said
The chosen ones don’t ever have regrets about love
Or the sorrow it leaves
Were you in love or just
Somewhere stuck in between
Believe
The chosen ones are still the last to see
You’re such a soul shaker
The magic is gone
But when did it end
Was I a fool just stuck in a world of pretend
My friend
Seems the ones that do the choosing are the men
Remember all of the pretty words that you said
In my bed
We are chosen ones
Don’t need to look ahead
You know I promised I’d love you til the end
And you said
We are chosen ones
Invincible

Why the Sky

WHY THE SKY
Deep breath, OK
Today is the day I’m gonna get it together
I’m returning from the dead
Through my muffled head
I can hear you
I wonder why the sky won’t fall down
Are you the one that keeps it off the ground
Are you the miracle, come to make me sober
Are you the valiant fool, come to make me strong
Wonderin’ why the sky
(See the sun, it pokes)
See the sun, it pokes through the sky
Never ask how or wonder why
You say, No way
I’m the girl that’s gonna put you together
I’m a burning Joan of Arc and through these ancient sparks
I will heal you
I wonder why the sky don’t fall down
Are you the one that keeps it off the ground
Wonderin’ why the sky
(See the sun, it pokes)
See the sun, it pokes through the sky
Never ask how or wonder why

SUPERSONIC WAVE
I can’t take another day like this
Without your steamin’ touch
And your fever bliss
You’re a straight shooter on a one way track
I’m a roller coaster baby, better fasten your strap
Come on in and wait for your instructions
Hold on if you can
Yeah babe I feel it comin’ on me
Your love’s a supersonic wave
The sky is crashin’ in around me
(Fallin’)
A lovin’ supersonic wave
Baby why you wanna make me wait like this
For your engine thrust
And your screamin’ kiss
You’re a straighter shooter
You’re a straight shooter on a one way track
It’s like a little death baby
Yeah there’s no turnin’ back
Come on in and wait for self destruction
Hold on if you can
Yeah baby feel it comin’ on me
Your love’s a supersonic wave
The sky is crashin’ in around me
(Fallin’)
A lovin’ supersonic wave
I can’t believe I’m on a ride like this
You know it’s been so long
I don’t know what I missed
You’re a super shooter
I’m your holster pack
That’s not a shot that you hear
It’s my heart attack
Hold on if you can
Yeah babe I feel it comin’ on me
Your love’s a supersonic wave
The sky is crashin’ in around me
(Fallin’)
A lovin’ supersonic wave
Yeah babe I feel it comin’ on me
Your love’s a supersonic wave
The sky is crashin’ in around me
(Fallin’)
A lovin’ supersonic wave
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

MR ULTERIOR
Cover me with veils of happy
Cover me with smoke
Cover your forced empathy
With another joke
Cover me with complimentary
Samples of your love
Did you think I wouldn’t notice
You had to blow the dust off
Keep me on your eggshell waiting
For some light to spill
Keep me here anticipating
Like I always will
You see my world, it’s getting smaller
You’re so very smart
Gee you’re lookin’ so much taller
Standing on my heart
Mr Ulterior
You know I wanna be like you
Mr Ulterior
How do you sleep like you do
No nasty feelings steering you ‘round
Too much trouble just brings you down, oh
Mr Ulterior
Won’t you show me how
Keep me on your eggshell waiting
For some light to spill
Keep me here anticipating
Like I always will
You see my world, it’s getting smaller
You’re so very smart
Gee you’re lookin’ so much taller
Standing on my heart
Mr Ulterior
You know I wanna be like you
Mr Ulterior
How do you sleep like you do
No nasty feelings steering you ‘round
Too much trouble just brings you down, oh
Mr Ulterior
Won’t you show me how

Save Me

Save Me
Driving
In the rain
Oh
That's why she cries
She'll get there soon
High as the laughing moon
Drink up the past
The taste won't last but for a day
Driving
Is the pain
Oh
My mother cries
One day soon
Her smile will light the moon
But she can't get past
That empty glass inside her mind
Save me, my baby
I don't know where I am
I don't believe
I won't pretend to fight no more
(repeat)
Driving in the shame
Oh
Don't want to cry
I'll curse the moon
As I walk through the ruins
Of all those days wasted away
For fear to fly
Save me, my baby
I don't know where I am
I don't believe
I won't pretend to fight no more
(repeat)
Save me
Save me
I'm still a lonely child
Whose sky crashed down, went spinnin' wild
They thought I was too small to see
All their faces who would be
There to save me
Save me
Save me, my baby
I don't know where I am
I don't believe
I won't pretend to fight no more
Save me, my baby
I don't know who I am
I don't believe
I won't pretend to fight no more
Save me
Save me

Hard Song

HARD SONG
They were perfect days
It used to go her way hey hey
She had a perfect world
A forever holiday
She had her daddy’s money
But it couldn’t save her anyway
She hasn’t recognized him since her 17th birthday
But we really shouldn’t talk about her now
Cuz she went wrong
They say it’s from that stuff she blew
And everything that’s happening to her is
A nursery song
And it might get stuck in your head too
Uh-oh, here she comes again
Such a hard song
To have to hear again
She’s like a ghetto blaster playin her own top ten
Uh-oh, don’t let her in your head
She still has looks to spare with her Farrah hair, hey hey
Without a shopping cart
She doesn’t look the part of a crazy lady
Now she’s trippin down main street
In her own parade
Got her own radio show
And her favourites play all day
But she doesn’t know you’re talkin to her now
Cuz she went wrong
She thinks that God makes mistakes too
And everything she’s singing to her is
A nursery song
And it might get stuck in your head too
Uh-oh, here she comes again
Such a hard song
To have to hear again
She’s like a ghetto blaster playin her own top ten
Uh-oh, don’t let her in your head
We really shouldn’t talk about her now
Cuz she went wrong
She thinks that God makes mistakes too
And everything she’s singing to her is
A nursery song
And it might get stuck in your head too
Uh-oh, here she comes again
Such a hard song
To have to hear again
She’s like a ghetto blaster playin her own top ten
Uh-oh, don’t let her in your head

Psychic Love

PSYCHIC LOVE
Falling down the watercade are
Steaming drops of love we made
I try to hold them but they seem to slip
Trails of brilliant echoes climb up
To the face you hide behind
I can feel you lose your precious grip
If you want to know me baby
Show me some emotion
Maybe when you’re psychic you can question all my notions
Of love
Just try, love
You’ll find love
This world’s not what you believe it to be
Mm-mm-mm
We are innocent and free
Our eyes wet with uncertainty
Reaching out but never looking in
We can rise above it all
Just look inside your crystal ball
You’ll get there faster
When you learn to swim
If you think you know me baby
Jump into my ocean
Maybe when you’re psychic you can second my emotion
Of love
Just try, love
You’ll find love
This world’s not what you believe it to be
Mm-mm-mm
The ebb and flow of moon and tide
Is more than murky shades of brine
Umbilically tied by newborns blind
I’m joined to yours like yours to mine
If you think you know me baby
Jump into my ocean
Maybe when you’re psychic you can second my emotion
When you’re feeling lonely baby
Swim beneath my ocean
Think you’d really like it
Just give into devotion my love
Just try, love
You’ll find love
This world’s not what you believe it to be
Mm-mm-mm
I know my heart
It’s like a book
Don’t be afraid to take a look
I have a page that’s earmarked
Just for you
Just try, love
You’ll find love
This world’s not what you believe it to be

ASTROGIRL
Sleepytime is awake
I can’t believe these wings are mine
My thoughts, they look like strangers
But act as if they know me
They solidify, kiss me with their hands
Oh I may never want to wake up
Again
But who is minding the store
When astrogirl ain’t here no more
Who is minding the store
Without me
Who is minding the store
When astrogirl ain’t here no more
Would you mind the store
For me, baby?
The top becomes the bottom
My feet can’t touch the floor
It may look as if I’m crashing but
The walls turn into doors
Those lullabies are meaning so much more
Or maybe that’s what all this dreaming
Is for
But who is minding the store
When astrogirl ain’t here no more
Who is minding the store
Without me
Who is minding the store
When astrogirl goes through that door
Would you mind the store
For me, baby?

You’re a star
Be what you are
Don’t let their spotlight blind you
You’re a star
Let what you are forever shine through
Livin’ in the darkness
You think it’s gonna swallow your soul
Oh, lonely darkness
You need a light to find your way home
That’s when I think of Ramona
She’s the girl you can’t ignore
Taught me to dance to the beat of the moment
The only way to keep yourself warm
You’re a star
Be what you are
Don’t let their spotlight blind you
You’re a star
Let what you are forever shine through
Shine through
Livin’ in the city
So hard to find a lovin’ man
And isn’t it a pity
A love affair is only a one night stand
But don’t you worry, Ramona
Don’t you know we’ll always be friends
You are the queen of your jungle baby
No matter what this world says
You’re a star
Be what you are
Don’t let their spotlight blind you
You’re a star
Let what you are forever shine through
Shine through
One day love’s gonna find you
But will you you see it, still living in the past
Just put that pain behind you
And you get ready, cuz life ain’t built to last
One day love’s gonna find you
Ramona knows it don’t pay to be shy
Don’t let their spotlight blind you
You know the whole world is watchin’
Ain’t no time to ask why
Be what you are
Don’t let their spotlight blind you
You’re a star
Let what you are forever shine and guide you
You’re a star
Be what you are
Don’t let their spotlight blind you
You’re a star
Let what you are
Forever shine through
Shine through
