Oh, what a world it seems we live in

Why am I always on a plane or a fast train?
Oh, what a world my parents gave me
Always traveling, but not in love
Still, I think I'm doing fine
Wouldn't it be a lovely headline

I Don't Know What It Is
I don't know what it is, but you got to do it
I don't know where to go, but you got to be there
I don't know where to fall
But I know that's it's comfortable where
I don't know where it is
Putting all of my time in learning to care
And a bucket of rhymes I threw up somewhere
Want a locket of who made me lose my perfunctory view
Of all that is around and of all that I do
So I knock on the door
Take a step that is new
Never been here before
Is there anyone else who's too in love with beauty
Playing all of the games
And thinks three's company
Is there anyone else who has slightly mysterious bruises
I don't know what it is
Sick of looking around at friendly faces
All declaring a war on far off places
Is there anyone else who is through with
Complaining about what's done unto us
So I knock on the door
And I am on a train going God knows where to
To get me over, to get me over
Get me heaven or hell, Calais or Dover
I was hoping the train was my big number
Taking the Santa Fe and the Atchison Topeka
But we're chugging along, Dunaway by the crossing
And could be heading for Poland or limbo or Lower Manhattan
Find myself running around
I dont know what it is, to get me over
I dont know what it is, to get me over
I dont know what it is, to get me over
To get me over
You got to do it
You got to be there
--------------------------------------------------------
Vicious World
Thought that maybe we'd fall in love over the phone
Thought that maybe I'd really love being alone
Everybody but Heaven knows how I was wrong
Oh Lord, what have I done to myself?
What have I done to myself?
In this vicious world
Such a vicious world
There isn't anything you can do
In this vicious world
Soaking on the ice, makin' eyes all by myself
Didn't realize you were so top of the shelf
Just you want and see when you turn, turn 23
Oh Lord, what have I done to myself?
What have I done to myself?
In this vicious world
Such a vicious world
There isn't anything you can do
In this vicious world
Such a vicious world
There isn't anything you can do
In this vicious world
There isn't anything you can do
In this vicious world
--------------------------------------------------------
Movies Of Myself
Stop me falling down
Stop me making movies of myself
Put that old dog down
Stop me making movies of myself
Bring that carriage 'round
Get me to the garden of sleep
Make that high gate speak
Perrier out of a paper bag
Looking like a hag
And start giving me something
A love that is longer than a day
Start making my heart sing
Something that it doesn't want to say
I'm handing it over
I'm saying that you're the only one
Don't run for the border, turn that corner
Already you've run in movies of myself
Darling don't you ever let me go
Wrap your loving arms around me
While the cold winds blow
Tell me what I really want to know
'Cause I'm looking for a reason, a person, a painting
A Saturday Evening Post edition by Jesus
An old piece of bacon never eaten by Elvis
So I'll say start giving me something
A love that is longer than a day
Start making my heart sing
Something it doesn't want to say
I'm handing it over
I'm saying that you're the only one
Don't run for the border, turn that corner
In movies of myself
Oh I've seen it all before in movies of myself
--------------------------------------------------------
Pretty Things
Pretty things
So what if I like pretty things
Pretty lies
So what if I like pretty lies
From where you are
To where I am now
I need these pretty things
Around the planets of my face
Everything's a sign of my astrology
From where you are
To where I am now
Is its own galaxy
Be a star
And fall down somewhere next to me
And make it past your color TV
This time will pass and with it will me
And all these pretty things
Don't say you don't notice them
--------------------------------------------------------
Go Or Go Ahead
Thank you for this bitter knowledge
Guardian angels who left me stranded
It was worth it, feeling abandoned
Makes one hardened but what has happened to love
You got me writing lyrics on postcards
Then in the evenings looking at stars
But the brightest of the planets is Mars
What has happened to love
So I will opt for the big white limo
Vanity fairgrounds and rebel angels
You can't be trusted with feathers so hollow
Your heaven's inventions, steel-eyed vampires of love
You see over me
I'll never know
What you have shown to other eyes
Go or go ahead and surprise me
Say you've lead the way to a mirage
Go or go ahead and just try me
Nowhere's now here smelling of junipers
Fell off the hay bales, I'm over the rainbows
But oh Medusa kiss me and crucify
This unholy notion of the mythic power of love
Look in her eyes, look in her eyes
Forget about the ones that are crying
Look in her eyes, look in her eyes
Forget about the ones that are crying
Go or go ahead, go or go ahead, go or go ahead
And surprise me
Go or go ahead, go or go ahead, go or go ahead
And just try me
What has happened to love?
--------------------------------------------------------
Vibrate
My phone's on vibrate for you
Electroclash is karaoke, too
I tried to dance Britney Spears
I guess I'm getting on in years
My phone's on vibrate for you
God knows what all these new drugs do
I guess to have no more fears
But still I always end up in tears
My phone's on vibrate for you
But still I never ever feel from you
Pinocchio's now a boy
Who wants to turn back into a toy
So call me, call me in the morning
Call me in the night, so call me
Call me anytime you like
My phone's on vibrate for you, for you
--------------------------------------------------------
14th Street
You got my lost brother's soul
My dear mother's eyes
A brown horse's mane
And my uncle's name
You walked me down 14th Street
With a doctor to meet
After thoughts of the grave
In the home of the brave
And of the weak
But, why'd you have to break all my heart
Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it
Why'd you have to break all my heart
Couldn't you have saved a minor part
I could have clipped and saved and planted in the garden
Damn you, I guess I'll have to get a new one
I'd love to sit and watch you drink,
With the reins to the world, gripping a smoke
Vaguely missing link
Don't ever change
You hungry little bashful hound
I got the sheep
Poor Little Bo Peep has lost
And filed for grounds
But, why'd you have to break all my heart
Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it
Why'd you have to break all my heart
Couldn't you have saved a minor part
I could have ripped apart and thrown into the river
Wonder if there's hearts that will deliver
Don't ever change, don't ever worry
Because I'm coming back home tomorrow
To 14th Street
Where I won't hurry
And where I'll learn how to save
Not just borrow
And they'll be rainbows
And we will finally know
Why'd you have to break all my heart
Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it
Why'd you have to break all my heart
Couldn't you have saved a minor part
--------------------------------------------------------
Natasha
You walk alone in the valley of life
In the shadow of love
Under the trees of happiness
You walk alone like a baby unborn
Like a father unknown
Like a pocket penniless
I'm happy that you really care
But do you really know how scary
This is for you and is for me?
Oh do you really know
Do you really know
Oh Natasha, all I can do
Is write a song for you
Natasha, oh Natasha for you
I sit alone on the cozy ground floor
On a bench by the garden waiting also
Waiting for love
And thinking of all of
The catty remarks I also swallow
And as I've often asked before
Does anybody know know how scary
This is for you and is for me
Does anybody know, anybody know
Oh Natasha, all I can do
Is write a song for you
Natasha, oh Natasha
All I can do
Is write a song for you
Natasha

Harvester Of Hearts
If a person should ever like a person
Then a person should like you
Being that I'm only just a person
What would you do
If a person should ever like a person
Then a person should like me
Being that you're only just a person
It must be
Still I find it hard to get an answer
From the harvester of hearts
I always find it hard to get an answer
From the harvester of hearts
If a person should ever like a person
How funny that would be
If a person should ever like me
Not that I have that much to offer
God knows I have so much to gain
From the harvester of hearts
From the harvester of pain
If a person should ever like a person
Then a person should be free
Free to like whomever that they want to
Even though it ain't me
Not that I have that much to offer
God knows I have so much to gain
From the harvester of hearts
From the harvester of pain
--------------------------------------------------------
Beautiful Child
When I am older than these small goddamned hills
And there's no reason for my mind to be still
Oh how I'll feel like a beautiful child
Such a beautiful child again
When I have finally found my room filled with toys
Be banging on my crib excited by noise
Oh how I'll feel like a beautiful child
Such a beautiful child again
And when there's nothing to gain
Or bring me pain or pin the blame
On you or myself
And when they finally fall
These wailing walls and burdened crosses
God's twilights and all
How I'll feel
Oh how I'll feel
Oh how I'll feel like a beautiful child
Such a beautiful child again
Beautiful child
Such a beautiful child again
Such a beautiful child
Such a beautiful child again
When I am older than these small goddamned hills
--------------------------------------------------------
Want
I don't want to make it rain
I just want to make it simple
I don't want to see the light
I just want to see the flashlight
I don't want to know the answers
To any of your questions
I don't want no I really don't want
To be John Lennon or Leonard Cohen
I just want to be my Dad
With a slight sprinkling of my mother
And work at the family store
And take orders from the counter
I don't want to know the answers
To any of your questions
I don't want no I really don't want
To be John Lithgow or Jane Curtin
But I'll settle for love
Yeah I'll settle for love
Before I reached the gate
I realized I had packed my passport
Before security
I Realized I had one more bag left
I just want to know if something's
Coming for to get me
Tell me, will you make me sad or happy
And will you settle for love
Will you settle for love
--------------------------------------------------------
11:11
Woke up this morning at 11:11
Wasn't in Portland
And I wasn't in heaven
Could have been either
By the way I was feeling
But I was alive, I was alive
Woke up this morning at 11:11
John was half-naked
And Lulu was crying
Over a baby that will never go crazy
But I was alive
And kicking through this cruel world
Holding a notion of you at 11:11
Tell me what else can I do
What else can I do?
Woke up this morning
And something was burning
Realized that everything really does
Happen in Manhattan
Thoughts were of characters
And afternoons lying
And you, you were alive
Oh the hours we are separate
11:11 is just precious time we've wasted
So patch up your bleeding hearts
And put away your posies
I'm gonna have a drink
Before we ring around the rosies with you
Oh the hours we are separate
Oh the hours we are separate
11:11
--------------------------------------------------------
Dinner At Eight
No matter how strong
I'm gonna take you down
With one little stone
I'm gonna break you down
And see what you're worth
What you're really worth to me
Dinner at eight was okay
Before the toast full of gleams
It was great until those old magazines
Got us started up again
Actually
It was probably me again
Why is it so
That I've always been the one who must go
That I've always been the one told to flee
When it fact you were the one long ago
Actually
In the drifting white snow
You left me
So put up your fists and I'll put up mine
No running away from the scene of the crime
God's chosen a place
Somewhere near the end of the world
Somewhere near the end of our lives
But till then no, Daddy, don't be surprised
If I want to see the tears in your eyes
Then I know it had to be long ago
Actually
In the drifting white snow
You loved me
No matter how strong
I'm gonna take you down
With one little stone
I'm gonna break you down
And see what you're worth
What you're really worth to me

So put up your fists and I'll put up mine
No running away from the scene of the crime
God's chosen a place
Somewhere near the end of the world
Somewhere near the end of our lives
But till then no, Daddy, don't be surprised
If I want to see the tears in your eyes
Then I know it had to be long ago
Actually
In the drifting white snow
You loved me
No matter how strong
I'm gonna take you down
With one little stone
I'm gonna break you down
And see what you're worth
What you're really worth to me
