God Made Me
I'm jaded, and you're beautiful
I'm deluded, and I'm envious of you
You're caring that I'm hurting
But I'm laughing cause I'm lying
And you believe what I say to be true
This is the way God made me
No self-reliance, no social skills
You're confident and you express yourself so well
Your learned degrees upon your wall
I'm jealous, no invitations to the ball
This is the way God made me
This is the way God made me
No self-esteem, you're picture-perfect
You walk about so contented, the trees call out your name
You're clean and I'm so ignorant
I'm basic and I'm jaded and my excuses are so lame
This is the way God made me
This is the way (this is the way) God made me
(I think this is just the way I'm meant to be, yeah)
This is the way God made me
(Well there's no excuse it's just the way God made me)
This is the way (hey, yeah) God made me
It's just the way I am
It's just the way I am
It's just the way I am |
Hands
Oh there's a man outside my door tonight
He cries for help, he sings a pleading song
The times are tough for everyone
Got to hold on to what I got, and just kind of cruise along
Well, I do
Want to be helpful
But it's cold and I'm told
You can't be too careful
Out of the mouth of a mother
And into the hands of a brother
And into the heart of a lover
And out of the hands of another
Do do do do do
You can never tell who your neighbor is
Or what he's doing tonight
Or who his friends are
Well, you don't know where he's from
Or where he’s been, or who he knows
You know you can't be too careful
These days
Well, I do
Want to be helpful
Well but it's cold and I'm told
It might just be the devil
Out of the mouth of a mother
And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)
Into the heart of a lover
And out of the hands of another (do do do do do)
Well, I don't take chances
And I don't take time to see
And I don't take nothing from nobody
No way, not me
Do do oh
Do do do do do do
Out of the mouth of a mother
And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)
Into the heart of a lover
And out of the hands of another (do do do do do)
Out of the mouth of a mother oh
And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)
Into the heart of a lover
And out of the hands of a child
Into the eyes of a child
Into the ears of a child
Into the heart of a child
Do do do do do
Into the heart of a child
Do do do do do
Into the heart of a child

Surrounded
I was there
When you shone as bright as Bethlehem from afar
I was there
When you were young and strong and perverted
And everything that makes a young man a star
Oh, you were a star
I was there
And I swear to God and on my mother's grave
On everything I have or ever will embrace
I was there
And I saw it with my own two eyes
And now it's all around me, it's all around me
I'm surrounded
And now it's all around me, it's all around me
You surround me like a circle
Do do do do do do do
I was there
Come on, tell me I wasn't worth sticking it out for
Well, I was there
And I know I was worth it, cause if I wasn't worth it
That makes me worse off than you are
It's all around me, it's all around me
I'm surrounded
You know it's all around me, it's all around me
You surround me like a circle
But don't you lose sight of me now
Don't you lose sight of me now
Do do do do do do do
Don't lose sight of me now
Cause I was there
When they dropped the bomb
You know I remember the bomb
And I still hear the bomb
And I still fight the bomb
You know I still fear the bomb
You know I still hate the bomb
Sometimes I still get the call
So don't you lose sight of me now
Don't you lose sight of me now
You know you're all around me, you're all around me
(Don't you lose)
I'm surrounded
(Sight of me now)
You know you're all around me, you're all around me
(Don't you lose)
I'm surrounded
(Sight of me now)
You know you're all around me, you're all around me
(Don't you lose)
I'm surrounded
(Sight of me now)
Now it's all around me, you're all around me
You surround me like a circle
I'm surrounded, oh
Ah ah, like a circle around me
La la la la la la la la
All around me now |
Disagree
Ooh oh you know it
You know I'd rather disagree
You tell me what you want from me
Well, I'm not saying I'll believe
I could solve your mystery
But I would rather disagree
Ooh you know it, yeah
You know it
I'd rather disagree
You say the truth will set me free
So how come you're coming down on me
You think it's real if you can see
Well, I don't take to that philosophy
Cause you know

Don't Be Good
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Well, I don't know when you learn it
But when you learn it you learn it fast
They're the ones who love to learn
And they're not fast they're nice guys
They finish last
They're waiting and wondering
Where did I go wrong
Don't be good, don't be good
Don't be good to me
Don't be good, though you should
That won't work you see
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Well I don’t know when I learned it
But when I learned it I learned it fast
They're the ones that love to love me
They're not fast they're nice guys
They finish last
They're waiting and wondering
Wondering where did I go wrong
Don't be good, don't be good
Don't you be good to me
Don't be good, though you should
That won't work for me
Ah ah
Waiting and wondering, waiting and wondering
Wondering where did I go wrong
They're waiting and wondering
Waiting and wondering, wondering

Wondering where did I go, oh

Co-Dependent
When I go swimming
In your intellect
The water's so shallow
And the dialect is so phony
But I eat it up like bologna
I can't get enough
Well, I, I, I, I should end it
But I, I, I, I defend it
Well, I, I, I, I can't comprehend it
Cause I, I, I, I'm your co-dependent
When you go fishing
For a compliment
It's so, so obvious
And I can't help it
So I put up with it
Cause you're my habit
And I just can't quit
Well, I, I, I, I should end it
But I, I, I, I defend it
Well, I, I, I, I keep on pretending
Cause I, I, I, I'm your co-dependent
The world keeps spinning
Lucifer keeps sinning
The joker keeps grinning
But I need a new beginning
Well, I, I, I, I should end it
But I, I, I, I defend it
Well, I, I, I, I don't recommend it
Cause I, I, I, I'm your co-dependent
Well, I, I, I, I should end it
But I, I, I, I defend it
Well, I, I, I, I can't comprehend it
Baby, be my co-dependent

Believer
I carry my microphone with me
Everywhere I go
It makes for a very good deadweight
In case of an emergency
In case I need to break your face
In case I need you to be dead
Who do you think you are
Who do I think you are
I know who you are
And it's hard to believe that God made you and me
With the same hands, with the same hands
Ah, sit
I tell my doggie to sit
But I am not a dog
But you make the animal in me
Want to come out all over you
Who do you think you are
Who do I think you are
I know who you are
And it's hard to believe that God made you and me
With the same hands
With the same hands
Who do you think you are
Who do I think you are
I know
Who do you think you are
Who do I think you are
I know who you are
And it's hard to believe that God made you and me
With the same hands
With the same hands (with the same hands)
With the same hands (with the same hands)
(With the same hands, with the same hands)
And it's hard to believe that I'm still a believer

Green Apples
You're toast and jam
And you are cotton candy
You're double rainbows
Beside a setting
You're wood burning outside
There's a fire glowing
You're sweet as green apples
You must be the one
You bring me
To the heart of a golden man
You bring me
To the natural truth
You take me
To the solid hollow
And keep me sailing
This ocean of youth
That's why you're toast and jam
And you’re cotton candy
You're double rainbows
Beside a setting sun
You're wood burning outside
There's a fire glowing
You're sweet as green apples
You must be the one
So take me to an altar of diamonds
And run with me through sheets of jungle rain
Show me all your manly mystery
And let me heal your beautiful pain
Be my island in crowds of faces
My oasis
Be there
And lead me to the holy water
And introduce me to the place you are from
Wherever you go you know I will follow
So take me there and I will come
I will come
You're toast and jam
And you are cotton candy
You're double rainbows
Beside a setting sun
You're wood burning outside
There's a, a fire glowing
You're my sweet green apples
You must be the one
I'm saying you're toast and jam
And you’re cotton candy
You're double rainbows
Beside a setting sun
You're wood burning outside
And there's a fire glowing
You're sweet as green apples
You must be the one
You're sweet as green apples
You must be the one
Sweet as green apples
You must be the one |
Grace
Please don't go
I cannot breathe you in
Your air is too thick for me
And it makes my lungs sting
Please don't go
I cannot walk beside
Think I'll stay behind a mile
Cause I don't need you cramping my style
And do you still have grace
And mercy, mercy
To keep on kissing my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
Please don't go
Without you I am weak
I find myself drinking and sinking and seeking
Please don't go
Sometimes it gets so cold
That I'd rather grab for a blanket instead
Of walking into your comfort zone
Do you still have grace
And mercy, sweet mercy
To keep on kissing my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
Ooh oh oh oh oh
I know I've robbed you
I know I've hurt you so many times
I hope I haven't scarred you
You still have grace
And you still have this mercy
To keep on kissing my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
You still have grace
And mercy, mercy
To keep kissing my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
If you keep kissing my face
Someday I'll no longer do you wrong |
Boot
Never been here before
Never opened up this door
But I got a feeling it's just like the others
Never heard him laugh before
Never felt him feel before
But I got a feeling it's just like the others
He's got a big boot
And he's got a big hand
And he's got a big fist
To put me down
Here we go again
Never heard him lie before
Never seen him cry before
But I got a feeling it's like the others
Never heard him dream before
Oh, I never felt it before, oh
But I got a feeling it's just like the others
He's got a big boot
He's got a big hand
He's got a big fist to put me down
He's got a big mouth
And I know he's got some big words
He's got a big knife to cut me down
Is it all
Is it all because of the fall
But it's not my fault
How long, long
How long
How long do I have to long
Never been here before
Never walked through this door
And I got a feeling it won't be like the others
Even though he's got a big boot
And he's got a big hand
And he's got a big fist, he won't put me down
He's got a big mouth
Bet he's got a lot of big words
I bet he's got a big knife but you know
Cut me, cut me down, oh ooh oh
A big fist and he cut me down
Bet he's got a big mouth
Bet he's got some big words
Come on, let's see your big knife
Why don't you try to cut me down

Wayne
I'll be the girl with the long blond hair
And the really pale skin, if you care
I sit in the corner of the room
Cross-legged and quiet, filled with doom
I never ever liked the smell in here
It's cold and wet and reeks of beer
The lights are turned out permanently
But that's okay cause I don't want to see
Wayne, wait for me
Take me up in your hot air balloon and feed me cotton candy
Wayne, pray for me
Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then, wait for me
Who's the strange lady with the big silly hair
And berries on her face, dressed like a pear
Do I really have to hold her hand
And pretend she's my mommy, your wife and man
When I know you're not mommy
It's crowded and I feel lost in here
I'm trying to find a familiar fear
I look everywhere but I just can't see
There's not anything that reminds me of me, oh
Wayne, wait for me
Take me up in your hot air balloon and feed me cotton candy
Wayne, pray for me
Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then, wait for me
You made me fresh as flowers
Under these rocks and stones
Wayne, wait for me
And take me up in your hot air balloon and feed me cotton candy
Wayne, pray for me
Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then wait for me
Take me in your hot air balloon and feed me cotton candy
Wayne, pray for me
Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then, wait for me

Imaginary Friend
It scares me to speak my mind
It might sound self-absorbed
I don't say half of what I think
I wonder what I'm thinking for
I'm smelling dead flowers
And listening to the walls again
I'm drinking from a leaky faucet
And writing with this dried up pen
Wish I still had my imaginary friend
And who needs to listen, well
What do I have to sell
Everyone's just waiting for their own turn
Kind of like show and tell
I'm smelling dead flowers
And listening to the walls again
I'm drinking from a leaky faucet
And writing with this dried up pen
Wish I still had my imaginary friend
Wish I still had my imaginary friend
Someone to listen, someone to laugh
Someone to cry at the right time
I'm smelling dead flowers
And listening to the walls again
I'm drinking from a leaky faucet
And writing with this dried up pen
You know that I'm smelling dead flowers
And listening to the walls
Drinking from a leaky faucet
And writing with this dried up pen
Wish I still had my imaginary friend
Wish I still had my imaginary friend
And I would call him up
But I don't remember his name
