You're so naturally naive You're so naturally naive You're so naturally naive Not a thing up your sleeve You're so naturally naive You truly believe That love is free And pure Don't let the world burn you Don't let the world turn you down Don't let those clowns beat you down Don't let them change you from a smart little angel To a girl without a town Without a name Don't play their games Cuz those fuckers gonna charm you Don't take the blame Cuz those fuckers gonna harm you And take what you got And you got a lot And you got a lot And you got a lot You're so naturally naive You're so naturally naive You're so naturally naive Naive Naive Naive

Song 4 03:24
When I was a child All my dreams were recurring I used to leave my body And peek into the living room Where people were laughing And smelled like cologne Nobody could see me Alone in my dimension When I was a child I had this one dream quite often I was royalty in France In the 1700s A great crowd was gathering To watch the procession The weight of my costume Was quite suffocating My ladies in waiting Proceeded around me Their bodies like a cage Prevented my escape I walked very slowly Lead ran through my veins The fear within me mounting The life within me drained I have no clear notion Of what is to happen In this dream all I know Is that I'm choking with dread On my way to my death Or on my way to my wedding Either way, in my heart My life will soon end I can picture the courtyard I can picture the scenery In this dream, unlike life, I can speak perfect French I am wealthy and pampered But my life is a prison I am walked with my ladies In a procession towards death

Roads I Die 04:13
It's a ride It's a right to It's a right to take me through to It's a through It's a one-two It's a one to get me to truth It's a ride It's a right to It's a right to take me through to It's a through It's a one-two It's a one to get me to truth Ride when I'm right I ride I make my right It's a right it's a ride it's a right to drive It's a one two three to get me to truth To get me to truth Never never tried Never tried to make you Never never tried to make a problem for you Wasn't for me was a problem Breaking down my door just to tell a policeman Listen it's all right It's a ride take me on a ride I just wanna moving somewhere where I can ride I can have a right I can break all right I can break out me too Pull me out of my bed Push you out of my way Yell as I go "I hope you hate me!" Fuck if I care running past the neighbors I don't hate you But right now I hate you Let em let em stare Let em see you chase me Running on the front lawn running from your right arm I didn't ask didn't ask to be here Didn't ask to be here Running on the pavement warm on my feet I own the streets I own all of these streets These roads are mine no one else can know them On these roads I die just ask a policeman On these roads I die just ask a policeman On these roads I die Standing in the shower now Doesn't matter now Nothing matters now Not one thing will ever matter now Cut off all of my hair I don't need any makeup Fuck if I care it's a wash it's a wash Standing in the shower now Doesn't matter now Nothing matters now Not one thing will ever matter now Cut off all of my hair I don't need any makeup Fuck if I care it's a wash it's a wash Standing in the shower now Doesn't matter now Nothing matters now Not one thing will ever matter now Cut off all of my hair I don't need any makeup Fuck if I care it's a wash it's a wash Now It's a wash it's a wash now Find me in the streets Like a fright Like a fright night poster Could've been toast Like a poster child Like a lost child on a milk carton Playing my part in the intersection Under the stoplight like a crucifixion Hope they hope they hit me No don't hit me! Smelling all the sea air Honeysuckle vines on a quiet night in the lilac sea air Ready to die Ready to die I I didn't care I cared too much I had touched touched everything Everything don't touch me back Now pick me pick me pick me pick me up Put me in the police car Lock me lock me up 'Cause it doesn't matter Lock me lock me lock me down Lock me lock me down In a white room Lock me lock me down 'Cause it doesn't matter now Doesn't matter now Lock me lock me up Lock me up Lock me lock me down Touch me touch me touch everything Everything Don't touch Don't touch me back Now pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me pick me pick me pick me up Pick me up Lock me lock me lock me down now Down doesn't matter now Lock me lock me down Lock me in a white room Lock me lock me lock me down Lock me in a white room Lock me lock me lock me down Try to stop me feeling

Twin 03:19
My twin and me we are not allowed to see each other My brother from another mother Could smother me with his body and I would like it My father in the form of a brother Could smother me with his body and I would like it I would like it My twin, my twin I like to imagine his grin As he watches me twist And giggle I like to imagine his fist so strong in my hand My twin and me we are not allowed to see each other My brother from another mother could smother me with his body And I would like My father in the form of a brother to be my mother And I would like my brother That I am not allowed to see To smother me with his body and I would like it My twin, my twin I like to imagine his grin As he watches me twist And giggle I like to imagine his fist so strong in my hand I would smell it Take it all in My final twin Given to me Finally, finally All mine All him All me All him Him and me All him All me All him

Jewel Box 02:51
You come wake me in my jewel box when I am fast asleep I am breathing in deep ribbons Of silk and satin sweet Honey dripping down into my darkest seas We are rocking down a river A golden boat of treats Wrap me in your caramel until I cannot see I do not care to see Adore you Adore you

I quit my job today Everybody quit their jobs today Ain't no more being bored No couture to afford, no debtors to pay We quit our jobs today Everybody quit their jobs today No more collecting student loans Everybody gave up simulta neously I'm rocking biz-caj And a green bandana Banana republic Bananarama Alabama slammers at the abandoned Applebee's Banana hammock: cover me Hot dogs and khakis on the Major Deegan Eastern Parkway Brooklyn Museum Big Gay Ice Cream up at the Cloisters Oysters Rockefeller at Rockefeller Center Center of attention, I forgot to mention We're feeling no tension cuz work is in suspension I'll meet you at Grand Central Station You Haitian? Cuz you giving me good vibrations Nobody's at work everybody went home No internet can't afford a cell phone Volunteer work at the local soup kitchen In exchange for a beer and a bucket of chicken No money, no problems Everyone's at Fort Tilden Sharing grapes and tuna fish And watching each other's children I'm white and you're black and she's yellow Your girl is brown We're hitting town feeling mellow Colorblind and roasting marshmellows I quit my job today Everybody quit their jobs today Ain't no more being bored No couture to afford, no debtors to pay We quit our jobs today Everybody quit their jobs today No more collecting student loans Everybody gave up simulta neously Tacos a MoMa Flacas in Bushwick The witches of Eastwick Can't beat this jurisdic' All unemployed and feeling communistic Trade my socks for your Xbox An apple for your lipstick Fixing each other's bicycles and sharing pasta salad All admissions free And all IDs are valid Pizza party mp3s Vinyl records DVDs VCRs in VHS Nina Hagen on cassette DVRs HDTVs HIV is DOA The CIA is RIP Okay that was just fun to say Riding on a pony that used to work at Central Park Picking up your Auntie cuz she quit her job at Pathmark Grabbing all the food they left outside of Per Se To cater a block party on the Jackie Robinson Expressway Ok? Building teepees from the scraps of unfinished condos Rigging Martha Stewart sheets to sail our boats made of styrofoam No manufactured content on the internet can compete with this I seen a graphic designer whittling a knitting needle and a blogger and a jogger rewiring a light switch I quit my job today Everybody quit their jobs today Ain't no more being bored No couture to afford, no debtors to pay We quit our jobs today Everybody quit their jobs today No more collecting student loans Everybody gave up simulta I quit my job today Everybody quit their jobs today Ain't no more being bored No couture to afford, no debtors to pay We quit our jobs today Everybody quit their jobs today No more collecting student loans Everybody gave up simulta neously

Horror 04:33
I'm still crying about the other day I'm still shredded up from all the nasty things you say You know you're acting out my nightmares when you switch on me You act real sweet and then at random you act cruelly Why do you say it if you don't really mean it? Why do you say I Love You if you don't really do it? If you don't care Please go away and leave me all alone with all the love I made For you and you alone You don't know why you do the cruel things you do to me But I do It's so clear that you resent me But I don't make you do things I don't control your life So stop treating me like I'm your next ex-wife Why do you take it if you don't really want it Why do you take my love if you don't really want it If you don't care Drop everything and leave me so that I can give my badass love to someone who will treasure it The worst part is I can't explain to you The abusiveness of all the things you put me through If I tried to you would only tear me up again So I lock it up inside so we can be friends You don't see your own father when you act this way But if I could make you a video and replay You'd be disturbed 'Cause I know inside your heart is good And that's why I forgive you every time you break my heart in two I have given you so much I can't believe that you Cannot see all and everything I do for you Or maybe you do see it and it makes you feel bad You don't want to give as much to me, it makes you mad But it's so easy let me try and spell it out for you All you have to do is treat me sweet like I treat you It's not complicated All you really have to do is be a little less selfish It feels good to love Except when it feels real bad When your lover treats you mean and you wanna leave the scene it's HORROR

Lydia's Song 02:13
Oh the wind in my sails Oh the wind really wails Oh the wind really fails Sometimes When I feel all my crimes Wrap around me like vines I can tell soon that I'm Gonna need a reckoning You are beckoning to me Like a boat to the sea But when you look straight at me I could die I don't know why I'm still alive It's not worth it to survive To my end I have arrived And I'm relieved

Feeling numb to the feeling Of the feelings that I feel I should be feeling Or maybe that I am feeling and ignoring Reeling instead with my thinking And I'm always thinking that's the reason why I left And I find myself in a wilderness again I'm flittin' away I'm flittin' away I'm flittin' away Ain't got no home I'm flittin' away I'm flittin' away I'm flittin' away Ain't got no bones I'm picking with you It is through I'm on my own And it's hard hard And it's hard hard Cut me with a life Cut me out of your life Cut me if you like Guess I was never a wife even though I tried Cut me cut me now cut me down Cut me down down Da da da da da da da down Down down down down duh-down... Hit hit I'm hit hit I'm flapping my wings a flamingo Not a thing at this time feels typical Like my blood running thin with Pacifico Sábados to Domingos I am still alive Like a damn champ It's like a grand slam when I dive Chocolate clams underwater handstands ass full of sand Every day in a tropical clime On borrowed time Borrowed dimes Rummy rummy pineapple Bikini Atoll and I'm out of time De-dime, de-dime, de-dime, de-dime me Whaddaya do, whaddaya do, whaddaya do When you don't do Mercenary gigs You think I'm a bum but I'm not a pig Ooh-wee-ooh ooh, ooh-wee-ooh ooh, ooh-wee-ooh ooh HAHA Babe you're kidding me Is it possible to see too much pretty? I don't feel that way not since I left the city On a lam, with a plan, don't give a damn A witness to a brutal sham I know I asked for this, I'm not embarrassed I'll lie on a hammock While you feed me grapes with your toes Burning up your cares and woes Get to know the choice you chose Maximize your death throes That's how it goes What? Baby let's get away on a magic... Baby let's Get away On a magic escape It'll be really great I'll let you bake me a birthday cake We can get, uh Back into shape Dancing' to cassette tapes It'll be like a date Packin' up your cares and your woes Stick a match between your toes I just thought you Might wanna Go on a tropical fantasy Let's get away on a magical escape! Baby let's Get away On a magic escape It'll be really great I'll let you bake me a Birthday cake We can Drink Piña Coladas

Grace Church 03:34
In the confessional booth I drew a picture of you And kissed it a million times And I apologized And kissed it a million times And I apologized I apologized Bach should never be played again And I should never have any friends And friends should never make amends For things that have ended except Nothing ever ends Nothing ever ends Why do our lives become such a crime In the endless search for the sublime? We'll be better next time, next life I'll be a good wife, a good wife And you'll be a husband with a halo A husband with a halo In the confessional booth The priest he laughed and he cried Shot off his potato gun and sighed And he apologized He apologized Bach should be played every day And I should love you in every way And friends should always make amends for All the things that never end except Some things end Some things end (nothing ever ends) Some things end (nothing nothing ever ends) Some things end Some things end

Sun the Sun is coming Sun is coming Don't be afraid Don't panic my love My family and friends we Knew the end was near Don't you fear Take my hand Feel your feet in the sand Let the sun warm your skin And begin to let go Of your body and all of the objects you own It's so old so last year To be corporeal go You and me and everyone we know To the sea the genesis of we The mommy of us all Let it fall Come Come come come come come come come come... COME Dive in Swim, swim Let the sea Let the sea be you and me Let the salt and minerals take you back Now All is one All
