Penelope

People call her mysterious
She never seems that quiet to me
When she opens her mouth, she's hilarious
Catch you off guard with her honesty
But here she is sittin' alone
Sippin a glass of wine
Leans in with her voice down low
Seems she's got something on her mind
Penelope shines, she's got stars in her eyes
And tonight, I wanna see what she sees
Penelope flies, she's got arms a mile wide
I'm ringin her bell, now she's throwin down the keys
Seen her pullin espresso
She's seen me strumming guitar onstage
Told her I work in a cubicle
She says she feels like a bird in a cage
But here she is sittin alone
Sippin a glass of wine
Leans in with her voice down low
Seems she's got something on her mind
Penelope shines, she's got stars in her eyes
And tonight, I wanna see what she sees
Penelope flies, she's got arms a mile wide
I'm ringin her bell, now she's throwin down the keys
Think I feel a new wind comin
Blowin my past away
I can feel my 15 minutes coming today
Penelope shines, she's got stars in her eyes
And tonight, I wanna see what she sees
Penelope flies, she's got arms a mile wide
I'm ringin her bell, now she's throwin down the keys
Penelope shines, she's got stars in her eyes
And tonight, I wanna see what she sees
In the light of the day, she'll be walkin away
But somehow tonight, Penny's strollin home with me
Oh, Penelope, Penelope...

Lovestained

I'm going out with someone new
But when I look at her, all I see is you
I feel funny, I know what's wrong
I been standing in your love too long
I thought it was safe to get back in the game
Painted with your indelible kiss
Lady Macbeth had nothing like this
I've got to get it off before I get it on
Lovestained, lovestained, lovestained
I'm not the same
She's starting to think there's someone else
I can't explain this mess within myself
I'm turning off, I'm turning blue
I thought I washed my hands of you
You keep coming back at the most inappropriate times
You left my life but you left your mark
A scribbled mess all over my heart
I'm done with crying now I'm trying to cover you up
Lovestained, lovestained, lovestained
I'm not the same
I feel funny, I know what's wrong
I been standing in your love too long
I thought it was safe to get back in the game
Painted with your indelible kiss
Lady Macbeth had nothing like this
I've got to get it off before I get it on
Lovestained, lovestained, lovestained
I'm not the same
I can't get it off, it's never coming off, I'll never get it off

Trapped In The Toybox
03:03

Well the baby climbed in but he couldn't get out
Simon got trapped in the toybox
Riley came runnin with a terrible shout
Simon got trapped in the toybox
I was up in the kitchen makin lunch for school
Trouble was brewin and it weren't too cool
Yellin and screamin, a terrible fuss
Went downstairs to see what it was
We were pilin sand up around his legs
When Simon got stuck in the sandbox
Next thing you know he was up to his neck
Simon got stuck in the sandbox
Couldn't pull him out, wedged in tight
Arms and torso were out of sight
With Riley diggin as fast as can be
Finally together we pulled him free
Well the baby climbed in but he couldn't get out
Simon got trapped in the toybox
Riley came runnin with a terrible shout (hey)
Simon got trapped in the toybox
Simon got trapped in the toybox
Simon got trapped in the toybox

Unbreakable Bonds
03:42

Another stone against your window
Another late night call
And if I had myself together
I wouldn't be here at all
I need a little reassuring
A kind word or two
It's 2 AM, it's late, you're tired
I'm wired, I'm wide awake
Struggling with the puzzle of you
I always thought we had a trust so strong
Unbreakable bonds
Tying us together, when you said you'd never leave
I believed
Left a letter on your doorstep
An invitation to cry
All this time we touched each other's lives
You were pulling strings to untie
I always thought we had a trust so strong
Unbreakable bonds
Tying us together, when you said you'd never leave
I believed

Freaks
05:02

Now is the time to go to the tent
See what you get for the nickel you spent
Big top hawkers, man spitting fire
Dancing ladies on a live high wire
Three ring circus Bells in my head
Bear on a bike and the bull sees red
No time left to swallow the sword
And all these freaks take a man at his word
I talk to circus freaks They all know my name
We sit outside and smoke until it starts to rain
And when the strong man says it's just another day
To be alive again, I know he'll find a way
There's a pretty funny feeling that I get when I see you
There's a little part of me that wants to believe it's true
There's a freak show going on that no one sees but me
It's all inside my brain and I don't know what to do
Man put his head in the mouth of a lion
How many freaks want to see him dying?
She's got a beard, he's got a tail
Fat man lying on a bed of nails
Freaks in the big top, give me some please
Wait for the fall from the flying trapeze
Are they the freakiest people I fear or
Is that a freak in the fun house mirror?
I talk to circus freaks They all know my name
We sit outside and smoke until it starts to rain
And when the strong man says it's just another day
To be alive again, I know he'll find a way

Out Of The Cold
02:57
|
|||
|
The mirror cracked in your face today
Your dinner sits on the tv tray
It's time to go to sleep
Your mind is chasing shadows, begging for relief
You hold the eye of a desperate man
Who looks at you and misunderstands
He sees but can't recall
His hands are tracing pictures, painted on the walls
Where is the night that comes to swallow
The shadows lurking in the past
When will today become tomorrow
Walk a line of certainty at last
Take the time to live your life today
Take the time before it slips away
You steal a kiss, hear a vicious lie
And all your pain, won't demystify
The doubt that thrives within
You wait until someone will come to let you in

Speak
03:54

Maybe I try too hard
Lose myself in things that I can't do
Something I can't express
Maybe I can't resign myself to second best
Maybe I've lost my voice
Words are here, the sentence slips away
Maybe I'll turn to you
Maybe you'll shed some light into this darkened room
The spirit's willing but the flesh is weak
If I could lift my head, if I could only speak
Well before I knew when
I waited for answers to questions I never had asked
Maybe I think too fast
Maybe before the thought is fully formed, it's passed
The spirit's willing but the flesh is weak
If I could raise my voice, if I could only speak
If I could only speak
If I could only say what's on my mind
If I could only speak
I'm standing here and screwing up my lines
Speak

Cold Front
04:30

Well when I first laid my eyes on you
It was clear I was in a dream
You were a vision
Nothing but loveliness
And those jeans oh so tight and clean
You got me spinnin in circles
What a casually seductive dame
You put up your cold front
Behind it was a wall of flame
And when I looked in your eyes I knew for sure
If I had ever had an ailment Here I’d found the cure
But your eyes were like ice I thought I was gonna die
But I always try twice And I’ll tell you the reason why
You got me spinnin in circles
The casually seductive dame
You put up your cold front
Behind it was a wall aflame
You know it’s got to the point
Where I can’t get you out of my sight
Gotta have all of your sweet love
Gotta have it every day and night
Gotta keep spinnin in circles
For the casually seductive dame
You know you put up your cold front
But behind it was a wall of flame
Icy cold Burnin hot
(She’s on fire She’s aflame)

Wrong # Woman
04:39

|
Well hello I’m surprised to hear her say
I must have misdialed Coulda been one number away
And the voice on the other end of the line
Wasn't the right one but it sounded fine
Hang on I don’t even know your name
“Hey you know where to find me”
So I kept on playin her game
Come and get it while it’s hot
And tell me what’s on your mind
Gotta reach out if you wanna touch someone
I won’t be left behind I got a
Wrong number woman on my hands
Telephone circuits hooked me up with new romance
Wrong number woman on my hands
If she's gonna take me home
I’m gonna take the chance
If I have to call collect I’m a nervous wreck, rather be direct
Rather have a face to face, person to person
than a message on my machine
I think you know what I mean
So goodbye The line’s cut Dial tone
But hey we had a great connection
And I don’t like to use the phone
Come and get it while it’s hot
You know you can’t avoid the flame
Gotta reach out if you wanna touch someone
After this I’ll never be the same I got a
Wrong number woman on my hands
Telephone circuits hooked me up with new romance
Wrong number, wrong number
Wrong number woman

Pharoah

Cleopatra of the Nile
You got a face as cold as gold and the devil's smile
Sea of sand Waves of fire
All the treasures of the desert are your desire
And no matter what the gods tell me to do
I am just a long haired pharoah
Wanting to love you
You live in vain in your chambers
Staying just one grain of sand beyond the danger
Queen of Egypt, save your anger
Cause I'm just a one humped camel riding stranger
And no matter what the gods tell me to do
I am just a long haired pharoah chasing you
And no matter what the gods tell me to do
I am just a long haired pharoah
Wanting to love you
Just a long haired pharoah

One Wet Moment (live)
04:37

So I'm sittin on a Malibu beach
Towel's in the sand, an ice cold can
I haven't had a night off in weeks
You're standing in my sun
I'm angry and I jump to my feet
I'll lay you to waste, but I'm face to face
With the sweetest girl I've ever seen
Don't wanna take a dive, I wanna make a splash with you
I'm dreaming of one wet moment with you
I'm dreaming of one wet moment
Baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby oh baby
I just wanna jump in the water with you
Well we almost never made it past go
We started to converse, and we laughed and we flirted
And I knew that I was falling in love
I never felt so sure before
Talking for an hour or more
Took to the sand, I took you by the hand
Walked along the edge of the shore
You led me to the water, and then I went farther with you
I'm dreaming of one wet moment with you
I'm dreaming of one wet moment
Baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby oh baby
I just wanna jump in the water with you
So I'm layin on a Malibu beach
Towels in the sand, a few ice cold cans
I never thought we'd end up this deep
We're starting to get warm
We're flirtin and we jump to our feet
We came here to relax but in actual fact
We haven't had a night off in weeks
We can sink or we can swim
Or I can shiver in the river with you
I'm dreaming of one wet moment with you
I'm dreaming of one wet moment
Let's get wet
