My Body Is Champagne
02:34
|

my body is champagne
my insides float on a bed of bubbly
my blood froths frosty and chilled
but pour me out too fast i spill
oh sure, i’m good at a party
but sip more than a nip and you’re quick to get sick
of me
all i need’s a garnish
a little bit of zest in me
won’t you be my garnish
you little raspberry?
‘cause i’m about to pop
i’m about to pop
i’m about to pop right out of my skin
i’m about to--
all i need’s a garnish
a little bit of zest in me
won’t you be my garnish
you little raspberry?
‘cause i’m about to pop
won’t you look at me?
i’m about to pop
won’t you tell me please
i’m about to pop
are you ready?
ready for me?
i’m about to pop
won’t you look at me?
i’m about to pop
won’t you tell me please
i’m about to pop
are you ready?
ready for me?
‘cause sure, i’m good at a party
but when the party is over will you still want me?
will you still want me?

My Party
04:16
|

why did you go home
after my party?
is it ‘cause i kissed you in the dark?
i’m sorry
why did you go home?
don’t you like my party dress?
don’t you want my body anymore?
it wasn’t a thing
but it wasn’t nothing
it wasn’t a thing
‘til you said those words
it wasn’t a thing
but it wasn’t nothing
it wasn’t a thing
‘til you said those words
and i don’t go with boys like you
‘cause i don’t cry and wait around
but you are on your way home
and some girl’s tears are on the ground
why did you go home?
are my friends not funny
am i not that funny anymore?
why did you go home?
who’s there for you at home?
was i weird on the phone
was i too weird on the phone?
‘cause it wasn’t a thing
but it wasn’t nothing
it wasn’t a thing
‘til you said those words
and now it’s a thing
maybe a good thing
now it’s a thing
‘cause you said those words
and i don’t go with boys like you
‘cause i don’t cry and wait around
but you are on your way home
and some girl’s tears are on the ground
i lie awake
i’m still awake
i sit and wait
and for nothing
why won’t you stay
why won’t you stay
am i pushing you away
am i pushing you away
and i don’t go with boys like you
‘cause i don’t cry and wait around
but you are on your way home
and some girl’s tears are on the ground
‘cause it wasn’t a thing

Twisted
02:59
|
|||
you are what i’m looking for
and you know it
and you know it
you came my way
and i had to go and blow it
i had to go and blow it
when you left
i was a mess
started walking everywhere
hoping i might see you there
you said our love is so
twisted
we’re so twisted
but you came back
think you might have missed it
i think you missed it
you said my head
is always in the gutter
and we’re bad for each other
but if you want
what i want
then how can we be wrong?
and i’ve waited for so long
you said our love is so
twisted
that’s what you said
but you came right back
think you might have missed it
i think you missed it
i think you missed it

When You're Gone
03:42
|
|||
when you go away i will be fine
i’ll use a secret weapon called my mind
when you go away i will be fine
i may miss you bad
but i’m not going back
i am stronger than that
i can bounce right back
and i will be fine when you’re gone
when you’re gone
i am at a crossroads in my life
except all of the street signs have been vandalized
and i don’t know where to go
but i’m not going home
i’m not going home
i am stronger than that
i can bounce right back
and i will be fine when you’re gone
when you’re gone
when you’re gone
i may miss you bad
but i’m not going back
and though i feel so sad
i know that it won’t last
i know that it won’t last
‘cause i was more than that
than that
i am stronger than that
i can bounce right back
and you
you’ll feel it too
when i’m gone
when i’m gone
i am stronger than that
i can bounce right back
and you’ll feel it too
when i’m gone
when i’m gone
when i’m gone

Two Marbles
03:03
|
|||
when you said
“your eyes are like two marbles”
when you said
“they’re the kind i could look at for hours”
well, i died
i died i died i died
yeah, i died
i died
i died inside
when you said
“your hair is just like an otter’s”
but you said that’s a good thing
‘cause they live in really good water
well, i died
i died i died i died
yeah I died
i died
i died inside
what you said
what you said
doesn’t make much sense
but to me and the otters
what you said
what you said
means more to me
than all the others
so i said
“your head looks just like a pumpkin”
and i said it’s the kind i would put on my porch
and make pie with
and you died
you died you died you died
now we’re dead
now we’re dead now we’re dead
yeah, we died

Only Child
03:38
|
|||
do you ever get lonely?
you say you are an only child
i guess that’s a no, then
but i wish you could teach me how
you say you can only be lonely if you know what not being lonely feels like
well i know what it feels like
and now i know
never fall for the only child
never fall for the only child
he doesn’t care if you live or die
so don’t fall for the only child
never fall for the only child
but wasn’t it nice when
we were kissing on the train?
wasn’t it nice when
you were holding my hand?
or how bout the morning
we were singing Joni Mitchell and laughing
didn’t that feel good?
didn’t that feel good?
well now i know
never fall for the only child
never fall for the only child
he doesn’t care if you live or die
so don’t fall for the only child
never fall for the only child
‘cause in the night
the only child
doesn’t know how to share a bed
and in the night
the only child
is all elbows into my head
don’t ever ask him to need you
‘cause he can’t
the only child can’t even keep a potted plant
a potted plant
so when i am lonely
i’m not gonna go to you
i’ll call someone with brothers
and maybe a sister too
‘cause i deserve someone
who cares what the hell i’m up to
and that isn’t you
that isn’t you
never fall for the only child
never fall for the only child
he doesn’t care if you live or die
so don’t fall for the only child
never fall for the only child
never fall for the only child
never fall for the only child
he doesn’t care if you live or die
so don’t fall for the only child
never fall for the only child
don’t fall for the only child
never fall for the only child

Not Like a Bird
03:08
|
|||
you make my heart soar
but not like a bird
like an overworked muscle
i’m tired
you make my heart sore
but not like a bird
like an overworked muscle
i’m tired
but i love you
and i always do
i always do
and i love you
and i always do
i always do
i made your heart break
but more like a car
my foot was on the pedal before we got too far
if i could go back
i’d do it again
‘cause now i know it’s never good enough
nothing, no one
is ever good enough
and i loved you
and i always do
i always do
and i loved you
‘cause i always do
i always do

I Hope It Was You
02:36
|
|||
i shocked myself this morning
on a lightbulb i was unscrewing
my arm was someone else’s
for a fraction of a second
in the fixture little bugs lay
and i washed them out of their luminous grave
but then the light was much too bright
and i gave them a second mourning
last night you were in my dream
you were you
and i was me
then you were Alex Trebek
and i was still me
then there was a sex part
i stole either yours or Alex’s heart
but goodness knows
i hope it was you
and i hope it was me
i hope it was you
and i hope it was me
i flossed my teeth for the first time this morning
after hearing a very scary orthodontist’s warning
i watched Three's Company until you called me
but you never called me
when will we go
when will we go out?
i’ll go to your show
go to your show
and give you a chance
and then a second chance
and we’ll wake up in the morning
last night you were in my dream
you were you
and i was me
then you were Alex Trebek
and i was still me
then there was a good sex part
i stole either yours or Alex’s heart
but goodness knows
i hope it was you
i hope it was you
and i hope it was me

Shut Up
04:15
|
|||
out in the forest
i did not have to talk
but at the table
it was not knowing how to walk
so i just shut up
i just shut up
i just shut up
and stared at my spaghetti
but when i shut up
nobody looked up
so if you shut up
make sure that you are ready
but i dare you
i dare you
i dare you
i dare you
i dare you
i dare you
and in that moment i’m coming to save you
so you don’t shut up too
i’m telling you
i could avoid it
for about 22 years
but then the world, it
it started hating on my ears
and it wouldn’t shut up
it wouldn’t shut up
it wouldn’t shut up
and i could not afford ear plugs
so if you shut up
get ready to stock up
‘cause when you shut up
you’re going to get an earful
but i dare you
i dare you
i dare you
i dare you
i dare you
i dare you
and in that moment i’m coming to save you
so you don’t shut up too
i’m telling you
i’m telling you
i’m telling you
doors
they shut up
drawers
they shut up
windows
they shut up too
jars
they shut up
banks
they shut up
cellars
they shut up
but not you!
they didn’t shut up
they didn’t shut up
they didn’t shut up
we didn’t shut up!
we didn’t shut up
so why should you?
now you’re up

Is This Heartbreak?
03:50
|
|||
i look at you
what do you wanna do?
i look at you
and i smile
you look at me
and who can tell what you see
couldn’t you give me a try?
is this love?
is this heartbreak?
is this love? is this?
is this heartbreak?
i think that we
could be something good, you see
or am i just living a lie?
‘cause when i see you around
i just stare at the ground
‘cause it gets me so high
is this love?
is this heartbreak?
is this love? is this?
is this heartbreak?
take me back to the way
that we were yesterday
take me back
to the way
is this love?
is this heartbreak?
is this love? is this?
is this heartbreak?
is this heartbreak?
is this heartbreak?
is this heartbreak?
