Heavy Scene
If I could tell you how I feel
Things wouldn't be this way
I'd say I love you all the time
I'd tell you everyday

If I could show you something real
And you could do the same,
I'd show you I'm not made of steel
I'm a shaky windowpane

Well it's a heavy scene
And all it brings is misery
Hey, pretty thing, I'm not the enemy
I'm not the enemy

You cover me with evil stares
Like I shouldn't care at all
You might as well be in Palermo
But you're just behind the wall

And everything I try to say
Comes out the wrong way
But you don't forgive and you don't forget 
And we go our separate ways

Well it's a heavy scene
And all it brings is misery
Hey, pretty thing, I'm not the enemy
I'm not the enemy

It's a heavy scene
And all it brings is misery
Hey, little queen, I'm not the enemy
I'm not the enemy
( it's the heavy scene )
I'm not the enemy
I'm not the enemy

I'm on your side
It'll be alright
Just let me in

I'm on your side
It'll be alright
Just let me in
Let me in

I'm on your side
It'll be alright
Just let me in
Just let me in

It's a heavy scene
( Oh heavy )
And all it brings is misery

It's a heavy scene
( Oh heavy )
All it brings is misery

It's a heavy scene
( Oh heavy )
All it brings is misery

It's a heavy scene
( Oh heavy )
All it brings is misery.

Bring You Down
From the outside nothing looks out of place
I've got a superhero costume and a happy face
And if you ask you know what I'll say
“Everything is fine, it's great, I'm okay”

I'll throw a party for my fair-weather friends
Just don't look now there's a big, black cloud overhead
And if you ask you know what I'll say
“Everything is fine, it's great, I'm okay”

I don't want to bring you down
It's better you don't come around at all
No I don't want to bring you down
It's better you don't come around

I'll be taking comfort in strangers
Because the little lies we tell aren't really dangerous
You say “How ya doin” and I'm on trial
'Cause I've been caught red-handed in a stolen smile

I could be rude, I could be vague
I could be quiet
Or look you right in the face
As I lie, I say, “Everything is fine, it's great, I'm okay”

I don't want to bring you down
It's better you don't come around at all
No I don't want to bring you down
It's better you don't come around

I don't want to bring you down
It's better you don't come around at all
No I don't want to bring you down
It's better you don't come around

Dust Off Your Dreams
I'm in the middle of it 
Taking orders from the man
But I'm ready to quit waiting tables if I can
So remember my name when you see it up in lights
You'll know it was the same girl you didn't tip tonight

Look at me when I'm talking
I'm not like the other girls with their heels and stockings
Matching noses, lips and breasts care of some old doc and
Yes, I am better than the rest so why aren't you watching?

Dust off your dreams, Emilie
Dust off your dreams, Emilie

Drop by my office at six, he says I'll get you in the flicks
Yeah, I'll make you a star, can't you see my fancy car
And my designer clothes, a harmless little kiss
Could get you in the picture shows

Yeah I'm in the middle of it 
Taking orders from the man
But I'm ready to quit

Yeah I'm in the middle of it 
Taking orders from the man
But I'm ready to quit

Dust off your dreams, Emilie
Dust off your dreams, Emilie 

Dust off your dreams, Emilie
Dust off your dreams, Emilie

Rare New Disease
It's dead quiet here
But for my heart beating loud and clear
Under my breast bone going like mad
It's the loneliest heart that a girl ever had

I had a dream last night
A full house but not a friend in sight
That all changed when you came through the door
And you held me in a way you never held me before

I'm sorry my friend I can't see you tonight
I'm not feeling right; you'd better stay out of sight
No you won't hear me cough or sniffle or sneeze
But I think I'm coming down with a rare new disease

Lately I've been feeling strange
Everything's different but nothing's changed
I've been shivering but I'm far from cold
I try to stay calm, but I'm losing control

I'll keep my legs crossed
I'll let my body know my mind is the boss
But there's no telling if I'll really behave
So you'd better stay away for a couple of days

Is it hot in here or is it just me?
I've got a knot in my tummy and a tickle in my knees
No you won't hear me cough or sniffle or sneeze
But I think I'm coming down with a rare new disease

I'm sorry my friend I can't see you tonight
I'm not feeling right; you'd better stay out of sight
No you won't hear me cough or sniffle or sneeze
But I think I'm coming down with a rare new disease

It's dead quiet here
It's dead quiet here
It's dead quiet here

Song For A Boy
This is a song for a boy
Who I thought was a god
But he's dead, so I guess
He's not immortal after all

This is a song to remember
Every moment spent together 
In the bath or under covers 
This is a song for my lover

I'll be talking with my father 
And you'll be walking into water
I'll be sitting down to dinner 
And you'll be floating down the river

I'll be singing in the shower 
And you'll be fertilizing flowers
I'll be sleeping at eleven 
And you'll be looking down from heaven

And it's so lonely being in love with you
It's so lonely being in love with you
It's so lonely being in love with you

Did you ever say, “That'll be the day when I die”?
Did you ever say, “That'll be the day when I die”?
Did you ever say, “That'll be the day when I die”?
Did you ever say, “That'll be the day when I die”?

I'll be talking with my father 
And you'll be walking into water
I'll be sitting down to dinner 
And you'll be floating down the river

I'll be singing in the shower 
And you'll be fertilizing flowers
I'll be sleeping at eleven 
And you'll be looking down from heaven

Sister
She's in control now
It's gonna make her happy any day now
Can you see, she's
Getting smaller every day now
Her body seems to melt away
Smaller, every day now.

Turn on the TV
You'll see
What my sister's dying to be

I don't think I know her,
She's turning to stone but she don't know it
She can't see, she's 
Getting smaller every year now
Her body seems to disappear
Smaller, every year now.

My sister

You ain't got nothing left to lose X4

Fortune On My Name
I've been accused of changing
You say I've gone astray
You say I'm not the same person
The person you loved yesterday

So you can bet on horses
You can wage it all on the game
But I'm not a steed with a winning streak 
Don't place your fortune on my name
Don't place your fortune on my name

I'm not a rock so solid
You can hammer me and I won't bend
And I might never be your mountain
But if you'll let me I'll try to be your friend

So you can bet on horses
You can wage it all on the game
But I'm not a steed with a winning streak 
Don't place your fortune on my name
Don't place your fortune on my name

Now I'm driving down the street 
With your tear-stains on my cheek
And you know I think you're crazy
You say I'm the one who's flaky and it's something I should face
You just don't fucking faze me

I don't want to be your rock
And I don't want to be your mountain
I don't want to be your insurance policy
I don't want to be the one you count on

So you can take your chances
And you can wage it all on my game but
I'm not a steed with a winning streak don't
Place your fortune on my name
Don't place your fortune on my name

Whoever You Are
I've been waiting a long, lonely lifetime for you
Hoping to find a love that is finally true
Whoever you are, I hope you don't have to travel far
And you'll love me forever
Whoever you are

As I ride down that long lonely highway without you
I can't keep myself from wondering about you
Whoever you are, I hope you drive a shining car
And you'll take me to heaven
Whoever you are

And I know heaven is in your eyes
Like a melody, ringing in the skies
And I've often wondered what you should say
When you walk in and find me

Now I know I've driven some lovers away
But they didn't have the power to stay
You're my only salvation in a world of isolation
You are my answer, whoever you are

And I know heaven is in your smile
Like a melody whispered to a child
And I've often wondered what you would say
When you walk in and need me

So give me somewhere to hide my fears
Just one reason to ride away from here
Give me something to change my life
You and I could be right

So give me somewhere to hide my fears
Just one reason to ride away from here
Give me something to change my life
You and I could be right
Whoever you are
Whoever, whoever you are

Whoever You Are
You don't have to call me "Sugarpie"
Cuz I'm just coming along for the ride
You don't have to call me "Sweetheart"
Let's just get on to the good part

I don't wanna be a lonely girl
Waitin' for you to come home from the other side of the world
I just wanna see you once or twice a year
And get on your motorcycle and go drink some beer

Momma gave me a metal heart
Said "Honey, you've got more important body parts
Mouths are for talkin' and legs are for walkin'
Don't mess around with love 'less you wanna break that heart

So you don't have to call me “Honey” or “Darlin',”
Cuz I'm not gonna be here in the mornin'
I'm just sneakin' over late at night
And leavin' before I see your face in broad daylight

You don't have to call me "Sugarpie"
Cuz I'm just coming along for the ride
You don't have to call me "Sweetheart"
Let's just get on to the good part 

Momma gave me a metal heart
Said "Honey, you've got more important body parts
Mouths are for talkin' and legs are for walkin'
Don't mess around with love 'less you wanna break that heart

Magic Stick
It was early in the evening
About ten o'clock I think
When you said "Barkeep, get the lady a drink"
You sidled up beside me and said "That's a nice dress 
It would look great lying next to my bed!"
Then you handed me a quarter
You pointed to the phone 
Said, "Call your boyfriend, tell him you ain't coming home"
Then you felt it in your cheekbone
As it turned a pretty pink
Barkeep whispered, "Man, that's gotta sting!"

No way I'm not falling, not falling for this
So put away, put away, put away your magic stick . . .

You could take me to Bermuda
You could take me skiing in the snow
You could take me any where I wanna go
You could spend a lot of money
But I wouldn't be impressed
And in the end you'd have to tell your friends I said

No way I'm not falling, not falling for this
So put away, put away, put away your magic stick 

No way I'm not falling, not falling for this
So put away, put away, put away your magic stick 

One day you might say that I'm special 
And you've never felt this way before
You love the way my heel sounds when it hits the floor
You might tell me that you love me 
But I'd know what that means
It means, "I'd love to see you out of those jeans" 

No way I'm not falling, not falling for this
So put away, put away, put away your magic stick 

No way I'm not falling, not falling for this
So put away, put away, put away your magic stick 

I'm not falling, not falling
I'm not falling, not falling for this
I'm not falling, not falling
I'm not falling, not falling for this

Look Like Shit
Hunched over a microphone,
You're whispering and I moan,
Hardly moving, one toe tapping.

In a hushed tone and eyes turned low,
While the space you take up grows,
I grow weak and my heart's collapsing.

Yeah I look at you, you look like shit,
But that's got nothing to do with it,
You open your mouth and a god comes out.

I look at you, you look like shit,
But that's got nothing to do with it,
You open your mouth and a god comes out.

It's two forty-five in the morning,
Being lonely just gets boring,
It's too late now to get wasted.

I look at you, you look like shit,
But that's got nothing to do with it,

I'm in my room and all alone 
You're turned up loud there's no-one home,
You're faceless and my eyes are closed.

This Addict
As a willowy tendril curls from my lip
I think to myself "This is it
Just one more breath of your fragrant death
Before I quit "

In the haze of your gaze I teeter and sway
Nothing compares with this
But I've quit you before and I'll do it again
My deadly friend

I come apart at the seams and very bone screams
But still I deny the call
After all, my will is strong
But not for long

'Cause I'm addicted to this
Your venomous kiss
I'm addicted to this

In the haze of your gaze I teeter and sway
Nothing compares with this
But I've quit you before and I'll do it again
My deadly friend

I'm addicted to this
Your venomous kiss
I'm addicted to this
