Where do I put this fire? This bright red feeling? This tiger lily down my mouth? He wants to grow to twenty feet tall.
* I've left Bethlehem and I feel free. I've left the girl I was supposed to be. And some day I'll be born. *
I'm so tired of being shy, I'm not that girl anymore. I'm not that straight "A" anymore. Now I want to sit with my legs wide open and laugh so loud That the whole damned restaurant will turn and look at me. "Look at that tiger jumping out of her mouth!"
(chorus)
No more sex-starved teachers trying to touch my ass. I can finally be a teenager at age 26. Go to hell lions, tigers and bears, I'm not afraid of you anymore! My fear broke apart like fifty balloons, and I'm throwing it around the room like confetti now.
(chorus)
And someday I'll be born.........

Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?
Oh you get me ready in your 56 Chevy, Why don't we go sit down in the shade? Take shelter on my front porch, The dandelion sun scorched, Would you like a glass of cold lemonade?
I will do the laundry if you pay all the bills.
Where is my John Wayne? Where is my prairie sun? Where is my happy ending? Where have all the Cowboys gone? Why don't you stay the evening Kick back and watch the TV And I'll fix a little somethin' to eat? Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor How do you take your coffee my sweet?
I will raise the children if you pay all the bills
Where is my John Wayne? Where is my prairie sun? Where is my happy ending? Where have all the Cowboys gone?
I am wearing my new dress tonight But you don't even notice me. Say our goodbyes Say our goodbyes Say our goodbyes
We finally sold the Chevy When we had another baby And you took that job in Tennessee You made friends at the farm And you joined them at the bar Almost every single day of the week
I will wash the dishes While you go have a beer.
Where is my John Wayne? Where is my prairie sun? Where is my happy ending? Where have all the Cowboys gone? Where is my Marlboro Man? Where is his shiny gun? Where is my lonely ranger? Where have all the cowboys gone?
Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea, Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea, Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea

So call me a bitch in heat And I'll call you a liar, And we'll throw stones until we're dead.
There you go again, you cut me off from talking. You bask in the glory, the center of the circle. All our friends think you are a comedian -- So kind and generous, but I am suffering Away from here, I want to be away from here, Away from every little thing. I used to love your every little thing.
Now you call me a bitch in heat And I'll call you a liar, And we'll throw stones until we're dead.
You're the puppeteer and I'm the puppet, You manipulate me with guilt-ridden Catholic Chit. Everytime I try to talk it through you turn it around And make us out to be David and Goliath. Away from here, I want to be away from here, Away from every little thing. I used to love Your every little thing.
Now you call me a bitch in heat And I'll call you a liar, And we'll throw stones until we're dead.
Your arms beneath me, your light inside me I used to love your every little thing. Your eyes blue stars, your hand in my purse, Now I hate your every little thing.
Oh mama I didn't know life was this hard. Oh mama my innocence has been tarred My inner vision dulled and darkened I gave myself away to you, I felt my sorrow humble me And throw my crown upon the ground It was you I hoped for and us I prayed for And me that I believed was wrong But now my anger is my best friend And careful, I may bite your head off.
So call me a bitch in heat and I'll call you a liar And we'll throw stones until we're dead. So call me a bitch in heat and I'll call you motherfucker And we'll throw stones until we're dead.

* Carmen, I don't know if I can go back. Carmen, I'll never be the same again. Carmen, Carmen, Carmen...... *
The way you set the table The way you lean into tell me something soft. The way I can see into you. The way you tell me I talk too much about myself, It's true, I talk too much about myself, But right now I want to talk about you now.
(chorus)
I love the way you think Is it biological or all the acid you've eaten? Just take me to your body, I want to be drunk I want to be high I want to be drunk I want to be high on you.

I'm big and proud all over, not just on the stage My secret self has many sides that laugh and crash and stare I'm red and thick like fire. I like it from behind. But ram to lamb and red and white, I'm pure and sad and silent.
* I've got a piece of my heart On the sole of your shoe, I've got a little bit of thunder Trapped inside of that cloud That dog in you spit me out into the Mississippi. *
Who would love my many selves, The wife, the bitch, the rapunzel? The one who cries and calls for you, The one who is always alone?
(chorus)
Oh Mississippi come and wash me away Oh Mississippi come and take my pain away I feel I'm drowning I feel I'm.....dying.

How many times did I have to hear you say to me, "Self obsessed artist. Center of your universe." Well I believed your every word, And I believed you were my god.
Nietzsche's eyes, Nietzsche's kite, failed in flight to us And oh my love.......
Grandmother, mother, And now I see it in myself, I take on the water Until the dam threatens to break I became a little doll My voice became too small.
Nietzsche's eyes, Nietzsche's kite, failed in flight to us And oh my love......
I'm shaken I'm shaken I'm getting down this fantasy I'm shaken I'm shaken I'm getting down this fantasy You were not my superman. I didn't know just how I felt.
Oh my love, I'm getting down this. You were not my superman.
I wasn't honest, I tried to philosophize Only too late did I see That I wore Neitzsche's eyes Now that I step back to see, I haven't been me.
Nietzsche's eyes, Nietzsche's kite, Failed in flight to us. And oh my love,
I'm shaken. I'm getting down this -- Getting down this, Getting down this.......

Welcome to the church of me Where they stand in a line In need of water from my eyes And a song for comfort. You say Jesus Christ, Well I feel like him. I feel one, two, three nails through me, And four, through the heart.
* You walk the road to resurrection And I walk the road to dead And I've given you my devotion, But I walk the road to dead. *
I held you up and wrapped you in the heat of my hand And prayed for us. But now I watch your back As you walk away from my life. You need need. Strength is threatening. So I filled you with faith, and I filled me with pain, And what the hell am I doing falling in love With pain again and again and again and again?

I am not the person who is singing, I am the silent one inside. I am not the one who laughs at people's jokes, I just pacify their egos.
I am not my house, my car or my songs, They are only stops along my way. I am like the winter, I'm a dark cold female, With a golden ring of wisdom in my cave.
* And it's me who is my enemy Me who beats me up Me who makes the monsters Me who strips my confidence *
I am carrying my voice I am carrying my heart. I am carrying my rhythm I am carrying my prayers, That you can kill my spirit, It's old and it is strong, And like a mountain I'll go on and on. But when my wings are folded, The brightly colored moth Blends into the dirt into the ground
(chorus)
And it's me who's too weak, And it's me who's too shy to ask for the thing I love. And it's me who's too weak, And it's me who's too shy to ask for the thing I love. But I love....
I am walking on the bridge, I am over the water, And I'm scared as hell But I know there's something better.

You make me feel like a sticky pistil Leaning into her stamen. You make me feel like Mr. Sunshine himself. You make me feel like splendor In the grass where we're rolling Damn skippy baby you make me feel like the Amazon's Running between my thighs.
You make me feel love
You make me feel like a candy apple all red and horny You make me feel like I want to be dumb blonde In a centerfold, the girl next door. And I would open the door and I'd be all wet With my tits soaking through this tiny little t-shirt That I'm wearing and you would open the door And tie me up to the bed.
You make me feel love
Lover I don't know who I am. Am I Barry White - am I Isis? Lover I'm laced with your unconscious, I will be your Desdemona

Long white arms losing their strength and form, Sixty year man on twenty year old skin. Skeleton your eyes have lost their warmth, And look to your father for some support.
* Hush, hush, hush....says your Daddy's touch. Sleep, sleep, sleep....says the hundredth sheep Peace, peace, peace....May you go in peace. *
Cruel joke you waited so long to show, The one that you wanted wasn't a girl. All your life you kept it hidden inside, Now when you step, you stumble, you die.
(chorus)
Oh maybe next time you'll be Henry the Eighth Wake up tomorrow Alexander the Great. Open your eyes in a new life again. Oh maybe next tme you'll be given a chance.
Hush, hush, hush.........

So open up your morning light, And say a little prayer for I. You know that if we are to stay alive. Then see the peace in every eye.
She had two babies. One was six months, one was three In the war of '44. Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging When she thought it was God calling her. Oh would her son grow to know his father?
* I don't want to wait For our lives to be over, I want to know right now what will it be. I don't want to wait For our lives to be over, Will it be yes or will it be sorry? *
He showed up all wet on the rainy front step. Wearing shrapnel in his skin. And the war he saw lives inside him still, It's so hard to be gentle and warm. The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
(chorus)
You look at me from across the room You're wearing your anguish again Believe me I know the feeling It sucks you into the jaws of anger. So breathe a little more deeply my love All we have is this very moment And I don't want to do What his father, and his father, and his father did, I want to be here now.
So open up your morning light, And say a little prayer for I You know that if we are to stay alive, Then see the love in every eye.
(chorus)
