Girlfriend

I’m not here to be your girlfriend
I’m here to drink pina coladas
No, I’m not waiting for somebody or something
I’m just waiting for nada
Hey, hey, and nadie
Hey, man
Why can’t a girl just let her hair down?
Sit in the corner like a neon palm tree
Waving by the neon sea
Oh, oh, I love that glow
So, leave me
Here in my pool of pink and green light
You look so pretty when you’re part of the party
Not paying attention to me
Yeah, yeah, so get back there
I’m not here to be your girlfriend
I’m here to drink pina coladas
Pretend I’m waiting for someone if I gotta
When I’m waiting for nada
Hey, hey and nadie

Canary

Had the gold rings on my fingers
Had the bells on, the swing, the flow
All my cells on
I was another world waving
Hello to you, every blue moon
Every red moon like a drive-in sign
Hello to you
I was another world waving
hello but, oh
You're cold as a bone
No stereo on
Canary I wonder why you
Say you do when you don't
It makes me blue
I didn't know you were so yellow
I didn't know about you
But I'm not mad at you, baby
It isn't your fault where the ripples fade
It isn't my fault
You are another world burning
pretty but, oh
You said we were friends but it wasn't to be
I was breaking my heartbeat for free
Couldn't wake up again with my head on your knee
So now I'm up in my own tree
Now I'm up in my tree
Up here in the thin air
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
The branches bend
You are another world, baby
I'm gonna miss you but oh,
You're cold as a bone
No stereo on
Canary I wonder I do
But the branches are bending
The branches are bending
You're cold as a bone
No stereo on
Canary I wonder why you
Say you do when you don't
It makes me blue
I didn't know you were so yellow
Now I know about you

Blue Sirens

Bang, bang, bang
roll over, baby
my last bad man
my last bad man
roll over
tomorrow I'll get wise
Love, love, love
it comes so easy
holy smoke
it comes so easy
tomorrow I'll get wise
tonight, aw, damn my eyes
Are you playing with me
won't you do that, please
don't you realize
that i'm playing with you
I'm playing with you
but playing nice
Your guns, your guns
are firing
engines, engines
hotwiring
i'm blue sirens
Aren't you growing on me
creeping like a weed
look at you go
and I'm digging up you
I'm digging up you
look out below
You're under my nails
and my skin
well, that's snips and snails-
suprising
i'm sugar and spicing
Your guns, your guns
are firing
engines, engines
hotwiring
i'm blue sirens

Pretty Heavy
02:57

|
You were in the middle of something
pretty heavy when you met me
but that's all over now
your head was in such as stony place
you could not show your own grace
but that's all over now
Your throat, your throat is hurting
from too many cigarettes burning
but that's all over now
come on with me and be a child
of the sun and the moon we are wild
beginning now
I'm sorry, you said it
I'm sorry, you said it again
don't say it, you're sorry
I know, it's ok
Your throat, your throat is hurting
from too many cigarettes burning
but that's all over now
I'm sorry, you said it
I'm sorry, you said it again
don't say it, you're sorry
I know, baby
I'm sorry, you said it
I'm sorry, don't say it again
don't say it, you're sorry
I know, it's ok
You were in the middle of something
pretty heavy when you met me
but that's all over now
come on with me and be a child
of the sun and the moon we are wild
beginning now
For a moment
it ain't so very hard
it's just a moment
it will be over tomorrow
for the moment no sorrow
beginning now

Baby Damn

|
Baby, damn, you're on a roll
you burn the coal and bend the track
what a man, what a man
oh, you make my brand new candies
click clack, my sunrise sandy
splish splash, over the smoke stacks
baby, damn, you're on a roll tonight
turn the whole sky blue and robin red
Baby, damn, don't you be cold
I want an old friendly fire
what a reason to eat
oh, you make my machine heart beat
tighter, my cherry tart sweet
my cider sparkle, my birds tweet
baby, damn, you do it so easy
you do it so easy
Make my timbers shiver
my leaves swish in the river
baby, damn, you do it so easy
when you do it to me
Make the last train home come
rumbling, the lone in my bones hum
baby damn, you do it so easy
Baby, damn you do it so easy
everyday, you do it so easy
when you play, you do it so easy
when you play that bowafridgeaphone

Baby Yay
03:28

|
There are times when I don't want trouble
but trouble wants me so bad that it hurts
just to see me with somebody
so good, so good, it hurts like it should
but you know that I'm gonna make it better
better, baby, yay
Down as a clown in a truckstop
isn't that sad? I can laugh
but not forever, not forever
jam tomorrow, jam yesterday
jam tomorrow but never jam today
anyway, I'll find a way to bring the butter
and the bread, baby, yay
Back to the fat black chalkboard
you know I may figure like
I don't feel you, but I feel you
I do, I do, I quit you but you
stuck to my shoe, you stuck to my shoe
when I'm blue, I'll chew on you
and blow a bubble
a bubble, baby, yay
