Misfortune 02:48
Should you ever smash a mirror Misfortune falls for seven years. And if a cat should cross your path You better hope the cat's not black. Ding, ding, ding, a ding a dang dong The tree is high and the rope long. Fee fie foe, fie fiddly dee dum And fire burns most everyone. Oh no Drop the fork and drop the knife Drop a spoon, see who arrives. But don't you drop that old dishcloth Your luck will turn, your heart will stop.

If only love was a bomb I'd be bombing everyone. If love was a hurricane I'd fly it over everything. I know, I'm packed full of love From my hair to my heels If only love was wildfire I burn down the fields. I can't put it into words The way I feel about you darling But these are words that could express it best. I'm gonna bomb you with my love. Carpet bomb you with my love. I'm gonna explode 3000 megatons of love. If only love was a ring I would put it round your finger If love was a murderer I'd certainly let it linger. I'm packed full of love From my toes to my crown. If only love was King Kong I'd never put you down. Just for you 3000 megatons

Stumble On 03:33
Mistakes were made, I know that for a certainty We were never meant to walk alone. But every heart is hardened by hard circumstance. Everyone's got wounds now turned to stone. And we've been casting shadows as we walk towards the light Hand in hand we stumble through it all. And I'm so very happy that it's your hand in mine To lift me up as we stumble on. And so we fall in love. Though trouble surrounds us, yes trouble enough Though the storms they may rage They can't wash us away The fire inside us burns on. Honesty's a policy but who can say That it's better than the lies we're taught to tell. There's a place reserved for each and everyone of us It's just getting there that ends up being hell. And we've been breaking bottle 'gainst the walls of Jericho. We've been singing songs all along. And I'm so very happy that it's your voice I know Will lift me up as we stumble on.

I'm having trouble getting to sleep at night I think we watch too much true crime television Darling, don't you see that it's just too much for me The death and the murder and the woe And it's on All day long Like some miserable song That keeps repeating On and on. Sweetheart, it's enough, Oh, can't we take a break Can't we watch comedies instead? Cause my head is filling up with horror and despair, Don't you care? Don't you care?

I wanna get outta here, she said, I wanna go. But there’s nowhere or me on the planet earth, nowhere I’d feel at home. I don’t even feel comfortable in my skin. She took a swallow of her whiskey neat And chased it with Vicadin. She laughed at me and said, “Let’s begin again.” I wanna get outta here but I never wanna die. I think that maybe in a thousand years The future might be alright. I know that I am just a silly, silly girl But it is simply so broken, a beautiful, broken world. She laughed and smiled at me and said, “Let’s being again.” As we were leaving Oh, she started crying I simply just held her She said, Oh, I’m dying And I, don’t know why And when we got there Oh, she started crying I simply just held her She said, "Oh, I’m dying And I don’t know why I’m alive."

Father are you bothered that I never care to call I guess you're never bothered 'cause you don't call at all. I guess maybe it's true What they say about you You're only a good as The people you use. Mister, will you kiss her when she says she has to leave And she's never coming back 'Cause she's taking off with me Oh, we'll take in the sights And we'll stay out all night And we'll never look back Looking left to the western lights. Oh, the love that you keep hidden. Is the love that no one sees. And the love you've never given. Is the love you don't receive. Lovely little lady, oh, why so full of rage I know that things are hard but there's a better way Sure, life is unfair But the children are scared. And shouting all day Well, that's just gotta wear you down. Me, myself, and I, yes I'm talking to you three Well, I hope you get well soon and please take care of me Cause I'm all that I got And surer than not My mind's gonna break My heart's gonna stop. Me, myself, and I, oh' what'cha gonna do You gotta love yourself if you want the others to And I know that it's hard And I know that you're scared But it's better in here So much better than out there.

My voice is so very small, it's a wonder that I'm heard at all Like a fierce butterfly I try to fly through the squall. These are a few of my words, it's a miracle they're ever heard. Like a fierce butterly I duke it out with the birds. And though I fight, I'll surely die. But while I fight I am alive, so I say let it come down. And when it's all stacked against you And when there's nothing you can do, ooh, you can fight. So this is my tiny song, soon enough it will be gone. Like a fierce butterfly, I take the windshield head on. Once I dreamed that I might, live a significant life But like all my dreams, upon waking it seems that they die. Once, I chanced upon hope, but hope is a very long rope. And with enough length, and so little strength, you will choke. But I will fight, and I will die. For while I fight I am alive, so I, say let it come down. And when it's all stacked against you And when there's nothing you can do, ooh, you can fight. So this is my tiny song, soon enough it will be gone. Like a fierce butterfly, I take the windshield head on.

Life can be hard, Life can be cruel, Oh, There's no rules to read There's not much anything That turns me on, anymore. But since I found you I've turned around And now I finally see Something worth fighting for. Something worth dying for, darling. But I know that there will be hard times too Cause life it never seems to just go smooth. But I promise you that I will do everything that I can do. I never want to hurt you, darling. I never want to break your heart. I always want to love you, lover. I never want to be apart from you, my love from you, my sweetheart. Some people are dumb Some people are cruel Some people are fools, you see Some are quite miserable And others make misery. But since I found you I am not doomed To be one of these. I can be better now, I will be better now You'll see.

Water Craft 05:06

Shelly was exhausted and she never ate dinner 'cause she worked two jobs and could never fit it in her schedule. Shelly rubbed her belly cause she knew that she was late again, she said a little prayer and went back to her tiny section She was gonna be a movie star someday At least that's what she thought when she moved to LA But all she wants right now Is twenty-four hours of sleep. All she wants to do is keep up. With the bills, and the rent, and the high price of gasoline All she wants to do is keep up With the price of diapers and the cost of everything. All she wants to do is keep up With her car, so filthy and the dishes, oh they're never done. All she wants to do is keep up 'Cause there's nowhere to go, nowhere that she can run. Shelly's youngest baby got some sorta infection, so she waited at the clinic but the minutes they kept adding up. Three hours later, her baby got some medicine, and she got written up For showing up late again. She was gonna be a movie star someday At least that's what she thought when she moved to LA But all she wants right now Is twenty-four hours of sleep. All she wants to do is keep up. With the bills, and the rent, and the high price of gasoline All she wants to do is keep up With the price of diapers and the cost of everything. All she wants to do is keep up With her car, so filthy and the dishes, oh they're never done. All she wants to do is keep up 'Cause there's nowhere to go, nowhere that she can run. There was a murder suicide today in Echo Park. A mother of two toddlers, it breaks our heart. But we know that he was evil. We know that she was wrong. And we ask everybody to stay strong. All you gotta do is keep up With the bills, and the rent, and the high price of gasoline. All you gotta do is keep up With the price of diapers and the cost of everything. All you gotta do is keep up With your cars, so filthy and the dishes, oh they're never done. All you gotta do is keep up. 'Cause there's nowhere to go, nowhere that you can run.
