wish I could change the way that you feel
standing with him you feel more real
looking so sweet with all your might
trusted in him to put it night (?)

holding his hand like a brand new kite
blue eyes sparkle, open, alright
wish I could see, the girl who'd fight
playing and laughing and trying to show it

running and falling and dying to know it
staring you down with her gaze hold it
wish I could free you but I can't don't blow it

angel, gonna show it
lord
the devil, go on hold it
angel, gonna show it
lord
blow it

becuz of you, becuz of you, becuz of you, becuz of you
becuz of you, becuz of you, becuz of you, becuz of you
becuz of you, becuz of you, becuz of you, becuz of you
becuz of you, becuz of you, becuz of you, becuz of you

wish I could free you, but I can't, don't blow it
wish I could free you, but I can't, don't know it

[Thurston]
lay down your lucky hand, upon her heart
morning becomes a kite, tangled up in stars
laugh in the midday light, and leave - it behind
move out into his sundry eyes, and sing, unwind

hang down your lucky head, a sign to time
morning becomes the sun, for the dandy line
sooner than the midday light, we leave behind
love is out into the sundry light, you sing, unwind

If you want me to,
I will be the one that is always good, and you'll love me, too.
But you'll never know what I feel inside, that I'm really bad,
Little trouble girl...

Remember, mother?
We were close.
Very, very close.
You taught me how to feel good,
Flirt and laugh, be understood.
Curl my hair and eyelash,
Pinch my cheeks and do my lips.
Swing my hips just like you.
Smile and behave.
A circle of perfection, it's what you gave.
Then one day, I met a guy.
He stole my heart, no alibi.
He said "Romance is a ticket to paradise".
Mama, I'm not too young to try.
We kissed, we hugged.
We were close.
Very, very close.
We danced in the sand, and the water rose,
Higher and higher until I found myself floating in the sky.
I'm sorry, Mother, I'd rather fight than have to lie.

If you want me to,
I will be the one that is always good, and you'll love me, too.
But you'll never know what I feel inside, that I'm really bad,
Little trouble girl... [backup vocals repeat x10]

Cross my heart and hope to die,
I cannot tell a lie.

this she did in public for us to see
she came in here too drunk to do the show
between the trains and cars
broken glass and lost hub-caps, images of a gun
row house row house pass through
let the city rise up to fill the screen
clothes flung out of closets, doorknobs falling off
the guitar guy played real good feedback, and super sounding riffs
with his mild mannered look on, yeah he was truly hip
the girl started out in red patent leather
very I'm in a band with knee pads
we watch her fall over and lay down,
shouting the poetic truths of high school journal keepers
row house row house pass through, let the city rise up
twister, dust buster, hospital bed, I'll see you, see you
see you on the highway
now we're told so merge ideas, of song forms and freedom
miss seafood, miss cheesecake, a couple of miss donuts
the edge of a blade pressed to the throat of your reflected image
poised, yet totally screwed up
yes sir, yes sir, step right up

none of us know, where we're trying to get to
what sort of live where we trying to build
now we're told so merge ideas, of song forms and freedom
seasons out of life, nothing is out of reach
L.A. is more confusing now, than anywhere I've ever been to
I'm from New York City, breath it out and let it in

where are you now?
when your broken eyes are closed
head in a cloudy dream, green and sailboats
borrowed and never returned
emotions, books, outlooks on life

hello 20 15!

hello, 20, 15! "

Time takes its crazy toll
and how does your mirror grow
you better watch yourself when you jump into it
'cause the mirror's gonna steal your soul

I wonder how it came to be my friend
that someone just like you has come again
you'll never, never know how close you came
until you fall in love with the diamond rain

throw all his trash away
look out he's here to stay
your mirror's gonna crack when he breaks into it
and you'll never never be the same

look into his eyes and you can see
why all the little kids are dressed in dreams
I wonder how he's gonna make it back
when he sees that you just know it's make-belief

blood crystalized to sand
and now I hope you'll understand
you reflected into his looking glass soul
and now the mirror is your only friend

look into his eyes and you will see
that men are not alone on the diamond sea
sail into the heart of the lonely storm
and tell her that you'll love her eternally

time takes its crazy toll
mirror fallin' off the wall
you better look out for the looking glass girl
'cause she's gonna take you for a fall

look into his eyes and you shall see
why everything is quiet and nothing's free
I wonder how he's gonna make her smile
when love is running wild on the diamond sea
