Turning Heads

I saw them craning their necks
I saw the muscles flex
I saw them whip out their checks
and their HEADS are TURNING
I know I can't afford
To celebrate until my foot's in the door
Did she even notice before
that my HEAD was TURNING
I'm so ready for the day
That I get to tell ya tell ya
What I gotta gotta say
I c-can't wait
No, I c-can't wait
Aw, it's all fair for the fairer sex
Cutting you in line just to give you the hex
When you start your sentence and she interjects
you know your HEAD is TURNING
Freaky nightmares, psychological tricks
When you hurl your sentence do you know if it sticks
They wait on bated breath to see who she picks, aw
her HEAD is TURNING, mmm
[Chorus]
IT'S ALL FAIR FOR THE FAIRER SEX

Cycle of Depression

Wake up late, sit around feelin' sad
What did I do to make my life this bad
Get back in bed with a head full of doubt
Can't get up and at 'em when you're so down and out
Broke lonely tired sick bored uninspired dirty hungry overwhelmed stuck anxious worried full of regret, tsk tsk, regret, oh oh oh
It's the CYCLE OF DEPRESSION
Cycle of Depression
I can't seem to break out of the Cycle of Depression
Little black cloud stuck above my head
Stockings full of coal, shoes are filled with lead
If I go outside, I might have to face the truth
But when the truth SUCKS THIS MUCH, really WHAT'S THE USE?
Sleep eat work eat drink sleep eat sleep eat work eat work drink drink sleep and CRYYYYY (why oh why??)
[Chorus]

One of a Kind

The cards were dealt, I looked at my hand, I had
ONE OF A KIND
Some might say, "that's a low scoring hand"
But I sure didn't mind
It's all in the way you see it and may-be my eyes are misaligned
But I liked it better than every other hand combined
You are, you are, you are, you are, you are
ONE OF A KIND
Hawaiian flower of Texas, on my mind
I wanna know, are you thinking of me?
Come on tell me, do you dare?
You can say if it's true that you will or won't love me
Just don't tell me that you never cared
I could leave it up to you, but I can't much longer leave it up in a-a-a-air
Just don't leave me hangin' outside of Fareless Square
You're no, you know, you're no, you're no, you are no
LEMIN RIND
I must admit you're so...well designed
So are you, are you, are you, are you, are you are you--
DISINCLINED?
Twist and open up, VENETIAN BLIND
ONE OF A KIND
Left ear: (Hawaiian Flower of Texas)
Right ear: (How'm I gonna play this hand?)

Empty Threat

It's 8:52
You haven't called
Seems like I'm being blackballed
Did you really think
You could leave me on the brink
And that time after time I'd return?
If you did...you were right.
But one of us has to lose this fight.
Don't make me give up on you.
Don't make me give up on you.
I've tried and I've tried just to be by your side
There ain't much more I can do.
This is such an EMPTY THREAT.
Don't think I haven't realized yet.
I don't sense any sense of regret when you tighten the screws.
A-DOODLE-OOH
Rubber and glue
It's hard to persist
Even though reasons exist
Twinkling eyes
See you in dreams
Your ends, and all in between
But look at what you've given me as a whole.
So far, it's either SHIT or it's COAL.
[Chorus]
(What can I do?)

In Love
03:13

I'm IN LOVE with two women at the same time.
I'm in love with two women at the same time.
It's not a crush, or lust--it's something many people just won't discuss...
Especially not the two loves I've got in mind.
When I say LOVE, I'm talking the birds that sing.
When I say love, I'm talking about the air in spring.
It's not just a simple fling, I'm talking 'bout the real thing.
DAMN, it's a shame that these two women don't swing-uh.
And so I'm going to the edge of the world right now to find something.
That's right, I'm going to the edge of the world right now to find something.
I've gotta find an answer before I'm found by the sun...
You know I can't have them both but I can't choose just one.

Too True to Be Good
02:38

I think I may have just recovered
I think I may have just woke up, so to speak
I'm looking around, around, you are not around.
I wonder how the sky looks from where you are
I wonder, is it sunny and clear?
You know that you are not always, not always sunny or clear.
I shoulda known you were TOO TRUE TO BE GOOD 'cuz I was way too sincere. OH!
What can I say?
What can I do?
It's been so hard to forget about you
But now I got something to prove and, aw, you were SO RUDE.
You wanna just keep me on the backburner
You want me to be your Plan B
But I'm not your EGO PUMP and I'm not such a chump anymore
You finally gave me a good excuse
To terminate this self-abuse
'Cuz believe it or not, I've got a cold shoulder too
It takes a lot to walk away, but I've only got a little to lose (yes I do)
What can I say?
What can I do?
I worked so hard to forget about you
But now I got something to prove and, aw, you were SO RUDE.
(Oh My God.)

Take Yer Own Advice
02:37

I hear it from your sister
I hear it from your friends
And it drives your dear old Mom
Around and around the bend
It's time to TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE (laughing at guitar goof)
It's time to roll the dice
I can't believe that you spend it all to defend
Your BOGUS BOYFRIEND
I am your BIGGEST THREAT
I ain't done with you yet
How am I supposed to respect your BROKEN LOVE?
I settled for the best
And I put it to the test
But I wasn't quite myself
And you weren't all that impressed
Some call me determined
Some call me obsessed (laughing at guitar goof)
Well, I've got just one goal now
Putting my doubts to rest
[Chorus]

Eye Doctors
03:24

There's a cloud of flies outside my front door
I guess I don't love my old love anymore
But the evergreens, of course, are still green anyway
I've got a porcelain cactus man and a stuffed orange bird
But they never offer me any kind words
And the evergreens, of course, are still green anyway
I only get to tell you half the things that I'd like
Like how very endearing I find your slight overbite, and
Hearing 'bout your darkest moment brightened my day
Well, the EYE DOCTOR's got a real case in me
'Cuz I refuse to see what's right in front of me
I only envy you 'cuz yoo in charge of mah heart
The sticks and the stones don't go to my head
They're not nearly as bad as the dry bones that you said
I only envy you 'cuz yoo in charge of mah heart
I get to see you maybe half as much as I want
You're such a beautiful nonchalant debutant, and
Montpelier is the capital of Vermont (oh yeah!)
There's a cloud of lies outside your front door
But I love you like I've never loved anyone before, THAT'S TRUE!
Said, there's a cloud of lies outside your front door
But I love you like I've never loved anyone before, THAT'S TRUE!
Here it comes now....
(I CAN'T TELL IF I'M JOKING)

Black Diamond Rain

BLACK DIAMOND RAIN is a major pain
When you're wearing your bleach white linen
You're a Rorshach mess in delicate dress
On your cheeks, the ink will sustain
Down Main Street at four, you struck out once more
At every decent watering hole
Baby, instead of getting on that sled
You could fill up my boots with coal
Because I wish that your name could monopolize my brain
And I could give myself over, give myself over.
I envision your name in the BLACK DIAMOND RAIN
And I wash myself down the drain.
I've been looking for a beak that's sleepy and sleek
To peck all the crumbs on my floor
If you're just drunk enough to call your own bluff
Baby, you'd better not speak.
Just put your space helmet on, by noon we'll be gone
Provided that weather permits
If the oil falls again on Main Street at ten
I'm gonna catch it in my baseball mitts
Because I wish that your name could monopolize my brain
And I could give myself over, give myself over.
I envision your name in the BLACK DIAMOND RAIN
And I pour myself down the drain.
