THEY SAID NOT TO BITE THE APPLE,
BUT I WAS BORN IN NEW YORK
THEY SAID I BIT A SILVER SPOON
BUT I THINK I BIT A FORK
THEY THOUGHT MY BITE WAS BAD
BUT THEY DIDN'T HEAR MY BARK
THEY SAID TO BITE THE ICE
BUT INSTEAD I ATE MY HEART
THEY SAID TO BITE THE DUST
BUT I CAME CLEAN LONG AGO
THEY SAID TO BITE THE BULLET
BUT THE POWDER WOULDN'T BLOW
THEY SAID I BIT OFF MORE
THAN I COULD CHEW BUT I SAID NAY
THEY SAID TO BITE MY TONGUE
I SAID I HAD A LOT TO SAY.
---------
THEY SAID NOT TO BITE THE APPLE,
BUT I WAS BORN IN NEW YORK
THEY SAID I BIT A SILVER SPOON
BUT I THINK I BIT A FORK
THEY THOUGHT MY BITE WAS BAD
BUT THEY DIDN'T HEAR MY BARK
THEY SAID TO BITE THE ICE
SO I DANCED THERE IN THE DARK
THEY SAID TO BITE THE DUST
BUT I CAME CLEAN LONG AGO
THEY SAID TO BITE THE BULLET
BUT THE POWDER WOULDN'T BLOW
THEY SAID I BIT OFF MORE
THAN I COULD CHEW BUT THEY WERE WRONG
THEY SAID TO BITE MY TONGUE
AND SO I WROTE THIS BLOODY SONG.

We'll Get Along
I took the cigarette from out your lips,
and gave you our first kiss;
you kissed me back, and then pushed me away
with this to say:
you wanted me, but we were in the wrong.
I wanted you, so wrote this fucking song;
then you were fucking me, and it was over--
I knew you were a fucker, not a lover.
We'll get along just fine,
we'll get along just fine,
we'll win the world and paint the town,
while other worlds are breaking down,
we'll get along just fine.
You and I were friends, and only just,
but when has that stopped us?
We two do play the game without a plan,
because we can.
And even when the clock was striking twelve,
we were both so caught up in ourselves.
Name a reason why I'd take it slow;
this isn't love, it's just a fashion show.
We'll get along just fine,
we'll get along just fine,
we'll win the world and paint the town,
while London Bridge is falling down,
we'll get along just fine.
We'll get along just fine,
we'll get along just fine,
we'll win the world and paint the town,
while other worlds are breaking down,
we'll get along just fine.
We'll get along just fine.

Waltz No. 3
Do you have a moment to spend
hearing out the words of a friend of a friend?
There's something I think you should hear,
just one thing I ought to make clear
If you will lend me your ear
and listen here,
my dear.
I suppose I ought to confess,
I thought of you when I put on this dress,
I was hoping only for a glance
this was no happenstance,
see, I wrote this waltz for a chance
to take your hands,
and dance.
You don't need to humor me,
that will not be necessary
and if so there's no need for making haste
but if you would like a taste
go ahead and place your hands on my waist,
Vienna waits
for you.

The Things I Will Say Are All True
the moon is a cheshire cat
smiling upon you,
the stars are his frozen tears
of pain, joy, and gospel
according to john, you
grow lovelier every year.
the moon is a loveseat
that hangs from a willow,
and i hear the view's mighty fair;
the stars are the cars
that our loved ones drive,
and the headlights that lead them there.

The River
yes, things have changed,
but there's still blood in my veins
so it's still somewhat the same
even though you're not here
I still get up and go
I still put on my clothes
I still love because I know
how to fight against the fear
I still love you
but life goes on without you
I still love you
but the river rolls on without you
I still love you
but life goes without you,
the river rolls on without you,
the river rolls on.
I still put on a show,
I still feel it in my bones
when the music shakes my soul
even though you're not here
I still consume and create
Still know how to celebrate
I still love because I hate
living lost, alone, in fear
I still love you
but life goes on without you
I still love you
but the river rolls on without you
I still love you
but life goes on without you,
yeah, the river rolls on without you,
the river rolls on.
Yes I miss you
but I'm not alone without you
Damn I miss you
but life goes on without you
Yes I miss you
but I'm not alone without you
life goes on without you

Life was never cream & sugar cuppa tea
But with or without you, life's a ball with me

I still know how to live
I still know how to give
I still know how to love
how to fight and forgive
I still know how to laugh
I still know how to cry
And I'm still gonna live
every minute until I die

The Cat and the Milkman
The milkman, I tell you,
was all of a dither
when he saw what he'd taken
the pains to deliver
fast in the paws
of a cat black as coal,
sitting atop of
a telephone pole!
Though you'd never guess,
he was nevertheless
sitting atop of a telephone pole!
it was a morning
a regular tuesday
a workday, a schoolday,
and also a newsday;
but key to our story
and crucial to state:
the milk was delivered
each tuesday at eight.
eight ante meridian,
they let out the kitty and
picked up the milk in the morning at eight.
the cat, like a cat, was
attracted to dairy
(you'll notice that fact is
not extraordinary--
but slick was this cat,
he was quick, that was that,
's philosophy was to eat, drink, and be merry),
and he had a plot that
might not get him caught
to make off with the milk, though the prospect was scary
light was his step when
he slipped out the house
quiet as needs be
to reel in a mouse
so everyone feared
when the milk disappeared
that they ought to be on the lookout for a louse
but if they knew the ilk
of who'd taken their milk,
i tell you this truly they'd furrow their brows.
his method was nothing that
you could'na begat
'twas simple as find-
ing a pimple to pick at!
All fast in his paws
he did catch with his claws
a bottle of milk from the step where it sat
one must give pause
maybe drop one's jaws,
"fancy that, look, look at the milk thief--it's a cat!"
Terrified, the verifed
feline thief
ran half in fear and half
in disbelief
climbed to a height where
he knew or 'tleast thought
that he, sure as hea-
ven, would never be caught
by the well-meaning, old, son-of-a-daught-
er who brought the bought milk that the black cat sought
I'm certain you know where
this story is going
if not, then just follow
the sound of the meowing
up that pole where
the cat's sitting owing
to circumstances put in place by th'all-knowing
beyond his control
he's atop of the pole
as sure as the drought-tortured grass is not growing.

Regret and Happiness, pt. II
I'm done pretending I'm not happy
just to justify myself
done denying smiling, trying,
you do that to me, i can't help
it, if I could I wouldn't, shouldn't,
I'm not dumb enough to try;
I'm not gonna sigh and cry
and hide the twinkle in my eye
I'm in love and it's thrilling, really
i'm in love and it might be silly
I don't give a fuck 'cause it'd kill me, kill me
Chill me, thrill me, fulfill me, fill me, oh!
Deal me in 'cause I'm playin, playin,
I'm in love, I'm just sayin, sayin,
smiling, whiling away the day and
if I get a say then you're stayin, stayin, oh!
I'm done pretending you're the only
one I live for anymore
I'm done pretending that I'm lonely
just because you're insecure
I'm in love with someone else
just like I told you I would be
I never lied to you, I felt
much more for you than you'll believe.
i'm in love and i will be happy
though that's not how you would have me
not what you want, no, not exactly
if you wanted to keep me you could have asked me, oh! (/asked but no!)
i'm in love and it's not selfish
to want to love each moment, relish
every single second of it,
i am happy, i can't help it, oh!
just to justify myself
done denying smiling, trying,
you do that to me, i can't help
it, if I could I wouldn't, shouldn't,
I'm not dumb enough to try;
I'm not gonna sigh and cry
and hide the twinkle in my eye
I'm in love and it's thrilling, really
i'm in love and it might be silly
I don't give a fuck 'cause it'd kill me, kill me
Chill me, thrill me, fulfill me, fill me, oh!
Deal me in 'cause I'm playin, playin,
I'm in love, I'm just sayin, sayin,
smiling, whiling away the day and
if I get a say then you're stayin, stayin, oh!
I'm done pretending you're the only

Regret and Happiness pt. I
I'm done pretending I regret
everything I ever said
moping, hoping you'd forget
the girl who's living in my head
I'm honestly on to an opera plot
I'm a girl who once knew who she was but forgot
I love who I love but my heart's a mess
more devil than woman in this crimson dress
I don't have enough small change to second guess
"Forever" is a word that's meaning less and less
"Forever" is a word that's ever meaning less and less
"Forever" is a word that's meaning less and less
everything I ever said
moping, hoping you'd forget
the girl who's living in my head
I'm honestly on to an opera plot
I'm a girl who once knew who she was but forgot
I love who I love but my heart's a mess
more devil than woman in this crimson dress
I don't have enough small change to second guess
"Forever" is a word that's meaning less and less
"Forever" is a word that's ever meaning less and less
"Forever" is a word that's meaning less and less
r2D2
I confess I fell for you on our first date:
your steel plate
just blew me away!
I love the way you roll along the sand
although you can't
even hold my hand.
Let me always be by your side,
don't ever hide,
I’ll be true to you,
because you R 2 Dear 2 me.
I'd never leave you out in acid rain
it'd be a pain
to have to build you again.
I love you even when you power down
when I'm around,
I have found...
I would never leave you behind,
I think you will find
that I'll be true to you,
because you R 2 Dea' 2 me.
Ooh, my baby, how you fill the void,
you're my favorite droid,
I’ll never get annoyed
when you steal all the covers on the bed,
and from toe to head
I’m in the cold air instead.
When we first met, oh you caught my eye,
and you can bet, you're still my favorite guy,
and if you ever got wet, I would rub you dry
and if you were dead, I promise I would cry!
I'll never forget the cheeky look in your eye
when I said, "this is between you and I" [sic]
I let it get to my head like wine
when you winked your led--I mean, your LED lights!
When you get older I will oil your joints
with droid joint oint-
ment that I will anoint
each night I’ll hook your batteries up to charge
although they are
abnormally large
you can bet that won't bother me
it's easy to see
that I’ll be true to you,
because you r 2 Dea' 2 me.
yeah you r2D2 me...
uh-huh you r2D2 me...
you know you r2D2 me...
because you r2D2 me...
my love, you r 2 Dea' 2 me.

Pilot Lights
Pilot lights
don't go out at night
don't go out when fires are dying
they are there to stay
until the end of days
they will comfort you when you are crying.
Pilot lights
are a lovely sight
to behold after goodbyeing;
they will light the way
back to the path from which you strayed--
they can see that you are trying.
Pilot lights
never get in fights,
never yell at you for lying.
They will still be there,
even when you're scared,
when your eyes show no sign of ever drying.
Pilot lights
are like fireflies:
they can teach you tricks like flying.
If you listen, Dear,
you can almost hear
their music over your sighing.

Old Things
and we've all kept old things
road maps to old dreams
sewn new thread on old seams,
and it seems
your love is secondhand,
but I can love a used man,
my mantra is "I think I can,
I think I can."
road maps to old dreams
sewn new thread on old seams,
and it seems
your love is secondhand,
but I can love a used man,
my mantra is "I think I can,
I think I can."
No Grievances
I have no grievances--
and no regrets!
I have not sold my soul away, at least not yet!
I like the way I've lived my life so far, as of today,
I cannot think of a single thing
I'd do again a diff'rent way,
which I guess is a good thing, cuz I know,
I'll never get another go at it, but even so:

Never the Same
F Bb
Why did you go on home?
C
You didn't have to go,
F
But you left me alone,
Bb
and I can't accept you're gone.
F Bb
How could you leave us here,
C
How could you disappear?
F
Oh boy we miss you dear,
Bb
and we can't believe you're gone
F Bb
You were just dancing there
C
Feathers in your hair
F
I can still see you there
Bb
and I can't accept you're gone
Bb C
I didn't know you well, was never close
Bb C
but i loved you just as well, even though
Bb C
we rarely talked, you barely knew my name
Bb C
i loved you just the same, almost the same
Bb
i didn't know you well, or your favorite color
Bb
but i loved you just like i love any other
Bb
we rarely talked, you barely knew my name
Bb
but i'll never be the same, never the same
F Bb

F Bb

F

Bb

F Bb
i liked the way that you danced
C
you were your own kinda man
F
we were your own biggest fans
Bb
a bad romance now that you're gone
Bb C
i didn't know you well or where you lived
Bb C
but i knew almost too well what you had to give
Bb C
we rarely talked you barely knew my name

F Bb
You ran with a crazy crowd
C
You sang your Gaga loud
F
You left me without doubt
Bb
that we'll never be the same
Why did you go on home?

You didn't have to go,

Mr. Self-Satisfied
Mister
Self-Satisfied
When I said that we were different
don't imagine I lied;
It's complicated
the heat between us,
It's frustrating,
can't tell you I lust
Because the picture frame extends beyond a boy meets girl
Your movie storyline is more a boy meets world.
Mister
Self-Satisfied
When I said I had these feelings
all pent up inside
it's complicated
the heat between us
it's frustrating
don't know how to trust
the ocean of emotion in me motions to speak
but I don't know how to tell you you're just the boy of the week

Memento Mori
You are you
and I am I,
and someday
both of us will die;
and we will both
be laid in dirt,
so while I live,
I'll love and hurt.
You are sex
and I am love,
but I will stay
with you because
I want to give
you all I can,
and prove that I
can love a man.
You are love
and I am sex;
you are roses
I'm a red dress;
but I won't stay
with you this time--
I can't accept
your sacrifice.
I am love,
and you are just
another man
in love with lust,
so I pretend
that I don't care
so I can keep
my hands in your hair.
I don't care
that much for you,
but, gods, I swear
the things you do
are well worth lying
to your brain!
I'm a liar born,
but I refrain.
This joy and pain
can never last,
so while I live,
I'm living fast.
I cannot speak
for both of us,
but I will live
'cause live I must.

Lunatic
I'm a Lover
I'm a loser
I proudly carry my balloon
thank you, grazie, merci beacoux
a camoflouged parrot flies towards the moon.
regina, regina,
viva
la france!
sparrow: sew calico patch on my pants
build a nest, and lay for to rest
pink easter eggs taste the very best.
feathery, furry, Don't you worry
grab your coat, dear, and let's hurry.
Sing along, dear, at the opera
glasses-- cheers!-- astound the masses
(ooh) faces of broken (ooh) china dolls
(ooh) sing to you their memories when (ooh) you were just a child.
manicurists tie my shoes
rocking horseflies and fake tattoos
bears are dancing, cows romancing
circus show is blinding, entrancing
circling like a hawk above me
photographic mem'ries of me
(ooh) with a bad case (ooh) of the stripes.
(ooh) American Flag, Oh (ooh) my! What a sight!
Frau spots, would you like some sasparilla?
banana hands-- beware the gorilla!
Regina, Regina,
viva
la creatitudes
Beware all the bad girls and girls with bad attitudes
the evil sorceress laughs and she sings
and loves FRENCH fries more than anything

Letter From My Present Future To My Future Past
It's not quite cold enough to numb the pain,
just enough to make me wish I were back in bed again.
I'm not just touching the sky, I'm kissing it,
but somewhere there's a point to all this and I'm missing it.
Yes, I still love you, and I miss you, believe me,
but I still can't decide if I'd cry if you leave me.
You let your hair grow out, you're lookin' like Nick Drake,
and who we are keeps changing like the Swan in Swan Lake.
I'm sitting with my legs dangling over the Seine,
I kinda wanna go back, do it all over again.
I've seen the whole world, almost seen it twice,
and settling down has started to sound kind of nice.
The good days aren't over, but you can't make 'em last--
So ends this letter from my Present Future to my Future Past.

D

She'll pause for a moment to pull up her socks
D
And to tie in a ponytail her bouncy brown locks,

But she's legal

Kool with a K
you start a conversation with me
just to show me you don't care
and all you can say
is cool with a k
and how much you hate my green hair.
you start a conversation with me
just to prove i'm nothing to you
you might as well tell
me to just go to hell
'cause your making us both look like fools.
