It just had to be, it was in my way Better that I break the window Than forget what I had to say

You'll never hear the message I give You'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight

Make me cry — get off now, baby It won't be long 'til you'll be Lying limp in your own hands

If there was a better way to go then it would find me I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me

Oh, you silly, stupid pastime of mine You were always good for a rhyme And from the first to the last time, the signs said "Stop" — but we went on whole-hearted

The first time you did it I spent all I had to get it back And now it seems I've been outbidded

And if you wanna make sense Whatcha looking at me for?

Try to live in a lovelier light This is not about love 'Cause I am not in love In fact I can't stop falling out

Give me room to lay the law and let me go I've got to make a play To make my lover stay So what would an angel say

And in a little while we'll only have to wave No, not baby anymore If I need you, I'll just use your simple name

And I believed for a moment that my chances were approaching to be grabbed But as it came down near, so did a weary tear I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag

And it doesn't seem fair That your wicked words should work in holding me down

You're no good at confession

Take all the things that I've said that he stole Put 'em in a sack, swing 'em over my shoulder Turn on my heels, step out of this sight

Do I so worry you, you need to hurry to my side? It's very kind

Those boom times went bust My feet of clay, they dried to dust

I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star

I bet you could never tell That I knew you didn't know me that well It is my fault you see

I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand But I keep livin' this day like the next will never come

To what we know already that will keep us steady

I bet you didn't know

You got your game, made your shot, and you got away With a lot, but I’m not turned on So put away that meat you’re selling

My cheeks were reflecting the longest wavelengths My fan was folded up and grazing my forehead

And I just made a meal for us both to choke on

And you will see my face as I figure how to kill what I cannot catch

You made your major overtures when you were a chauvened, overtoned mutt And I was still a dewy petal rather than a moribund slut

Looking for a strand to climb, looking for a little hope Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine A fail to kiss is a fail to cope

'Cause I don't appreciate People who don't appreciate All that loving must have been lacking something

Made a merry paramour of me

So my darling, give me your absence tonight Take all of your sympathy and leave it outside

It may look like I'm concentrated On a very clear view But I'm as good as asleep

I'm gonna get him back I am, I'm gonna get him back

But there's solace a bit in submitting to the fitfully, cryptically true What's happened has happened, what's coming is already on its way with a role for me to play And I don't understand, I never understand, but I'll try to understand There's nothing else I can do

I've been watching all the time And I still can't find the tack

And I pull you to the edge And I stand there waiting Trying to attain

What you did to me made me See myself somethin' awful

You let me down I don't even like you anymore at all Oh, on the periphery

Make me cry — get off now, baby It won't be long 'til you'll be Lying limp in your own hands

So I say, and on I go To another one who disappoint me so The next one up, a contemptible snob

And now I'm givin' up on You

Singing again, sing, sing again How can I deal with this if he won’t get with this? Am I gonna heal from this? He won’t admit to it

I'll know, I'll know And you can use my skin To bury secrets in

I'll soar the uneven winds Complain and blame the sterile land

What does she think of me? That I'm not what I ought to be?

I let the beast in and then I even tried forgiving him but it's too soon So I'll fight again, again, again, again, again

And you can use my skin

But then again, I was waving around a bleeding open wound

'Cause I suddenly feel like a different person From the roots of my soul comes a gentle coercion And I ran my hand o'er a strange inversion

So I can't see what I'm seeing, in fact I only see what I'm looking through So again I done the right thing I was never worried about that

'Cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys Just need a little because, because
