Clean & Sober Darling you know I loved you something like a drug Darling I twist and turn so in & out of love And now I say I'm glad it's over And I've never felt so clean and sober But I've got a black & blue hangover Darling for you, Darling I do Darling you know you tell me tiny little lies Darling you're such a pro with pretty little lines And so you say you're glad it's over And you've never felt so clean and sober And you wish me luck and four leaf clovers Darling you do, darling you do I hope you die a fiery death I love you. God, I need you yeah I hope you choke I wish you all the best for all the rest of your days Darling I do... And though I say I'm glad it's over And I've never felt so clean and sober I've got a black & blue hangover And though I say I'm glad it's over And I've never felt so clean and sober I've got a black & blue hangover I've got a black & blue hangover I've got a black & blue hangover Darling for you, darling I do

Miss Halfway 04:35
Miss Halfway You oughta hear the mirror in my house You oughta fear her pretty, pretty mouth Says I'm imperfect in every way: "Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway" All my friends in L.A. got jobs on Melrose Place I play Replacements songs and sigh-- a Waitress In The Sky You oughta hear the things I've been thinking You oughta swim in a heart that is sinking You try to break me with all the things you say: "Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway" Tony makes 60 K, invests in IRA's, But I'm busy making paper airplanes out of resumes But I'm gonna burn, I'm gonna shine and multiply I'm gonna fill up the great divide You'll never break me with all the things you say "Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway" I'm gonna burn a pie now and then And I'm gonna say the wrong things to your friends I'm gonna burn and shine and multiply And when I do, you're gonna see me in her eyes... I'm gonna burn and shine and multiply I'm gonna fill up the great divide You'll never break me with all the things you say Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway Miss Halfway, Miss Halfway, Miss Halfway BACK TO TOP Lovesick A laundry list a mile long I've got so much to do No, I don't see that elephant standing in the room And I keep telling everyone it's something like the flu But I'm sick of feeling lovesick over you You're gonna feel a little sting A little like a prick A heart without an arrow in it gonna make you sick And I keep telling everyone it's something like the flu But I'm sick of feeling lovesick over you You say you love me, you'll never leave me standing all alone Been 14 days and 50 drinks, I'm staring at the phone What do you know? What do you know? I keep telling everyone it's something like the flu They raised my rent, I lost my job—it's anything but you You said you'd love me You'd never leave me Standing all alone Where did you go? 'Cause I don't know... No, I don't know...

Space Monkey 03:32
Space Monkey I've been on the ground, feet slowly draggin' I've been on a bender for weeks but it feels like I'm on the wagon You're out of range, high in the atmosphere Cell phone's all but blown and it sounds like you gotta gotta get outta there Houston, there's trouble here I'm out of reach, out of love, and I'm mostly out of you And just as I say the word impossible, They tell me space monkeys landed on the moon Not keeping track but the phone rang two days ago My face is a map and the tears indicate I've got a ways to go Houston, there's trouble here I'm out of reach, out of love, and I'm mostly out of you And just as I say the word unbearable, They tell me space monkeys landed on the moon "Are you happy or sad... or just PMS-ing?" I know what he wants in his nonchalance…I know it's pressing. Houston, I'm begging you... To give a shout out to all the peeps in the posse, yo O.K., for real: Could you relay a message fast To the astronaut who wanted to know? Yes, I do, I do believe in the sun And I do, I do concede there is one And you… do you believe in the one Do you, do you do you believe...?

Someday 03:12
Someday And you don't ask about my birthday Or my band-aid Talk about being a bore Let's talk about you some more Well, I remember the time I would've sunk every dime and every hope into you But now I'm well-rested and thoroughly invested in being through And you say, someday, you'll be changed And someday, someway…just have a little faith Like a heavenly body sitting in a lobby or a plane going down, I was wasting your time and you were wasting mine, going round and around And you say, someday, you'll be changed And someday, someway we'll have a little place And you'll be a man of means And I'll be someone far above in-between But when I call you on the telephone You apologize and put me right on hold Talk about metaphor Let's talk about you some more, Let's talk about you some more, Let's talk about... You say someday you'll be changed Someday someway we'll have a little faith Someday someday you'll be changed But sometimes someday is too hard to wait for...

If It Feels Right If it feels right, you should make a movie starring all of your friends You should put a spotlight on the little things If it feels right If you feel low, you could fall asleep inside a silo You could bring your knapsack and your roller skates, and run away If it feels right If It feels right, you should talk about it for a long time In the morning on and on... If you don't mind, you could figure out what makes a valentine You could put a finger on what a makes a girl weak When you fall for things Like the new voice on your machine And the way he says, "It's me." BACK TO TOP Sociopath I'm not much for dope or drink And that's thanks to Dr. Shrink But one thing I can't kick is I can't kick the man. I'm pathologically addicted To what you call a dickhead Cheaters and liars seem to light my fire And God I've gotta get clean. So I did…Yeah, I did. I took a bath with a sociopath I took a bath with a sociopath And I'll be sorry but for now I laugh about it, all night long 'Cause I like a little coffee with my cream I like a little dirty with my clean And my baby's really filthy My baby's really somethin' And my baby can dysfunction... All night (he's really something) All night (he can dysfunction) All night long

Someday My Prince Will Come Someday my prince will come Someday I'll find my love And how thrilling that moment will be Whent the prince of my dreams comes to me He'll whisper, "I love you" And steal a kiss or two And away to his castle we'll go To be happy forever I know Some day when spring is here We'll find our love anew And the birds will sing And wedding bells will ring Someday when my dreams come true BACK TO TOP Fantasy You only come out late at night Just like an animal in the moonlight You're wrapped up tight in mystery You've got me so fogged in that I can't even see My friends say I'm caught up in fairy tales and dreams And I confess, with you it feels like make-believe 'Cause you're a fantasy, you're just a fantasy, yeah You're a fantasy, Darling to me Do I really think I see you in the moonlight? Really wanna hold you ‘cause it feels right Really wanna see you tonight. Last night I swore I heard you call my name Crawled through my window, took my hand and stole me away Went to the drive-in, speeding like a runaway train Woke up and smelled your scent in the morning rain Chorus Woke up this morning, couldn't get you out of my head I tried to call you up but the number was dead Drove by your place, convinced that you'd still be around But I saw a wrecking ball just tore your house down Chorus Really wanna see you tonight... Really wanna see you, sleep tight.

Morning's a Peach (Come Back to Bed) Morning's a peach/ Night is a pitbull Either way I get a bite My car reports to work at eight My heart is several hours late I can't keep up with the lovers on the street I get my sunshine from the glow of my TV I hear a waterfall is brimming in my eyes You think I'm prettier, prettier when I cry Oh me, oh my…come back to bed Leave me alone/ Or get me some action Either way something aint right I can't keep up with singles on the scene I get my kicks from a long-gone lonesome dream I saw a waterfall was brimming in your eyes You're almost prettier, prettier when you lie Oh me, oh my…come back to bed La la la la la la... I say I'm prettier—and you're prettier--when you're mine Oh me, oh my…come back to bed

Krikor's Waltz Little did I know today, Making wishes from light years away That stars are far and falling's hard And cold Oh, won't somebody ski Over to me I fell hard Star light, star bright
