Swallow Me Whole saturday night done spit me out maybe sunday will swallow me whole it's hot on the street and hotter in this seat where i'm waiting for the day to go by the sun smirks in the sky flirting with clouds passing by but fixing me in its ruthless eye and maybe i missed you last night when we were supposed to meet but maybe i meant to miss... it's a brand new day and well i'm on my way to wasting it all once more cos saturday night done spit me out but maybe sunday'll swallow me whole In One Piece Do you love the way you feel, more than you love me? Do you love the prayers you breathe, more than you believe? Do you ache to feel my tongue, more than you love me? Do you hope that I'm the one, more than you believe? I could go on, but I can't go on like this with You could keep me, but you can't keep me in one piece Do you love the way you feel, more than you love me? Do you love the prayers you breathe, more than you believe? Do you ache to feel my tongue, more than you love me? Do you hope that I'm the one, more than you believe? I could go on, but I can't go on like this with You could keep me, but you can't keep me in one piece Elephant Heart The girl with the elephant heart Cries tears like water balloons Clenched fists into beads at the ends of her reach Fingertips buried like leaves The girl with the railroad spine Bears it all tall every day Locked eyes on the he that's holding the leash Burning with all that she sees The girl with the honeydew cheeks Slides inside small and unseen Among the asleep and unseeing she grins and she beams Doll-posed just pretty as can be This girl belongs on Mars, you see This girl is not like you and me A miracle of modern mutability This girl was all she could be The girl with the wolverine mind Fights still to remember what's said Blinks away doubts and the easy ways out Hurting as much as she needs The girl with the timpani feet Bounces to music she makes Tastes sweet in her throat with every pure note Prays aloud in the songs that she breathes The girl with the warm water hands Flows around what she cannot change But she'll hold on grim to pull you in In where it's safe, in where you'll never leave This girl belongs on Mars, you see this girl is not like you and me A miracle of modern mutability this girl is all she can be The girl with the grape gumdrop lips Whispering please let this be the one Then kisses them away both blessing and betray Speaks everything and often and free The girl with the sunflower eyes Sees beneath the surface you shine Sees right where you hide the best half of your sides Opens like a spring greening tree The girl with the fuzzy robe smile Warm to touch like sun-baking skin She believed and she stayed while her blessing delayed She's earned it, all finally This girl belongs on Mars, you see this girl is not like you and me A miracle of modern mutability this girl will be The girl with the elephant heart Wrap her up to melt into me Fingers flutter by and into my hands... This girl, the woman of my dreams Song For she takes her time to make it shine so everyone can see they see her hair and they always stare when they're not looking in her eyes and she's tired of guys and tired of boys and tired of wasting her time and acting aloof for all of the goofs who pretend they can find what's making her laugh to herself Rogue State I can't wake up when I roll out of bed And I can't just go down when I'm hit in the head I ain't gonna call you when I need you the most And I ain't gonna cry, just mostly brag or boast It's not an excuse, it's a reason why and it's probably too much too late this ain't loyalty, it's treason high this is me living in a rogue state Nice Mind a nice, orderly mind devoid of dents receptors all at the ready neurons humming in a line flooding with oxytocin soak my brain in glee flush the system clean and make me less like me you're not a drug but you'll get me high you're not all right but you're not all lie i'm not myself but i'm close enough this is good as gold so we'll just call it love Fragments she's got your number and you got a letter for her you could drown in one inch of water but can't fly in a mile of sky don't eat meat, smoke or drink or take a chance bigger than a blink saturday night has spit me out and i'm hoping sunday'll swallow me whole she stares at her hand and hopes to understand why she's still here and flashing her tits and begging for tips and no one knows she just wants more... but why is she so lovely why can i not look away? if you were dead ever known how much easier it would be if you were dead and the love i felt thrown back at me empty instead and all the thoughts wondering where you went gone and unsaid and you didn't leave and not look back if you were dead this is my penitence empty streets predawn cold i'm still here and you're alone winter morn no one's home you not here and i'm alone this is my forgiveness this is my vengeance this is my life
