Fear

Image
Your fear came from a place unknown Sat down, made itself at home It called your name the whole night through Until it got the best of you It's wide awake and never rests Follows each one of your steps And it hits you hard with ruthless fists Can I kill it with a kiss? I wish I could blow it off Or find a way to shut its hungry mouth Change the locks and chase it out I'll shield you 'til it disappears All my love against your fear It won't let you get away It teases you with whispered words Holds you in a cold embrace I set the table, cooked for two But it walked through the door with you It eats from your plate, it rules the room It's pouring poison on your spoon I wish I could blow it off Or find a way to shut its hungry mouth Change the locks and chase it out I'll shield you 'til it disappears All my love against your fear We'll find a way to shut its hungry mouth Change the locks and chase it out I'll shield you 'til it disappears ...

Shark smile

Image
She was a shark smile in a yellow van She came around and I stole a glance In my youth, a vampire Evelyn shown quiet as roses sting It came over me at a bad time But who wouldn't ride on a moonlight line? I had her in my eye, 85 down the road of a dead end gleam And she said woo Baby, take me And I said woo Baby, take me too It came over her at a bad time Riding through Winona down the dotted line Held us gunning out 90 miles down the road of a dead end dream She looked over with a part smile Caught up in the twinkle, it could take awhile And the money pile on the dashboard fluttering As she said woo Baby, take me And I said woo Baby, take me too Evelyn's kiss was oxygen I leaned over to take it in As we went howling through the edge of south Des Moines It came over me at a bad time She burned over the double line And she impaled as I reached my hand for the guardrail Ooh the guardrail Ooh the guardrail She said woo Baby, take me And I said woo Baby, take me too She said wo...

Your Best American Girl

Image
If I could, I'd be your little spoon And kiss your fingers forevermore But, big spoon, you have so much to do And I have nothing ahead of me You're the sun, you've never seen the night But you hear its song from the morning birds Well I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star But awake at night I'll be singing to the birds Don't wait for me, I can't come Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me But I do, I think I do And you're an all-American boy I guess I couldn't help trying to be your best American girl You're the one You're all I ever wanted I think I'll regret this Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me But I do, I finally do And you're an all-American boy I guess I couldn't help trying to be the best American girl Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me But I do, I think do

Roses

Taking it slow, but it's not typical He already knows that my love is fire His heart was a stone, but then his hands roamed I turned him to gold and it took him higher Well, I'll be your daydream, I'll be your favorite things We could be beautiful Get drunk on the good life, I'll take you to paradise Say you'll never let me go Deep in my bones, I can feel you Take me back to a time only we knew Hideaway We could waste the night with an old film Smoke a little weed on the couch in the back room Hideaway Say you'll never let me go Say you'll never let me go Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah Say you'll never let me go Say you'll never let me go Say you'll never let me go Say you'll never let me go Deep in my bones, I can feel you Take me back to a time only we knew Hideaway We could waste the night with an old film Smoke a little weed on the couch in the back room Hideaway Say you'll never let me go Say you'll never let me go Ah, a...

You're not the only one I know

Where's the harm in voicing a doubt You'll find me in the lavatory And where's the harm in talking out loud When I'm on my own What's so wrong with reading my stars When I'll be in the lavatory And what is so wrong with counting the cars When I'm all alone You're not the only one that I know And I'm too proud to talk to you anyway You're not the only one that I know And I'm far too proud to talk to you any day So I say I'm in love with the world And what is so wrong with voicing a doubt When I'm on my own It's perfectly fine to sleep in a chair From Monday 'til Saturday And what is so wrong with talking out loud When I'm all alone You're not the only one that I know And I'm too proud to talk to you anyway You're, you're not the only one that I know But I'm far too proud to talk to you any day So they rode out west to the seaside And they gladly decided to stay After two hours wandering outside Oo...
