MUSIC BOX
I been dancing with skeletons
Old dreams lost, yeah a long time gone.
Like when I was your music box
And you’d wind me up and I’d play for us...
I been talking ‘bout consciousness
Just wondering, waiting for some more progress
Oh if I could be your music box.
And you’d wind me up and I’d play for us…
I been dancing with picture frames
Paintings that move when you look away
Oh if I could be your music box
You wind me up and I play for us

RABBIT IN THE MOON
Moon is up but it’s not late
C’mon don’t hesitate
If you don’t bite, then you won’t taste
The very sweetest thing.
Well, I could have it three times a day,
But then, you know, I’d waste away
Besides you’ve heard it the same as me
We’re bound to reap what we sow.
C’mon darling take my hand,
Let me lead you down a garden path
With honeysuckle and wild roses
Let my hair fly round these breezes
Whisper mysteries into my curls
Exhale as my soul unfurls
Never knew I could stand and fly
Both at the exact same time
There’s a rabbit in the moon
And I see light shine from you
Oh sweet lord almighty
don’t let day come to soon.
Lay me down on the ferns and ivy
Lay yourself on down beside me
Least that’s how we could explain
These things biblically
I see a rabbit in the moon
I see light shine from you
Oh sweet lord almighty
Don’t let day come too soon.

Brimful
I'm gonna drink my brimful down to the middle
cause I gotta, cause I wanna cause it's sweet
I'm gonna take the middle down to a mouthful
cause I'm ready, cause I'm thirsty cause it's cool.
I'm ready to dive in, and swim and swim and swim
for that far shore. I'm wanting more.
More and more, more and more and more.
I'm gonna tell my waiter to pour me another
cause I'm needy cause I'm greedy cause I'm dry
I'm gonna drink this one down to the bottom
like it's a problem only I can fix.
I'm ready to dive in, and swim and swim and swim
for that far shore. I'm wanting more.
More and more, more and more and more

YOU DON’T WANT MY LOVE
You don’t want my love no darling, nonono darling
No, no you don’t.
So I’ll just pack my bags now darling, my bags now darling
And I’ll go.
And I sure ain’t gonna come back once I am gone.
Cause I’ll be gone, gone, gone gone.
I’m not gonna take you back, no baby, nonono baby I won’t.
Cause you’ll just treat me bad now darling. We both know.
Well, if loving you is right, well I’d rather wrong.
Again I say if loving you is right well I’d rather be wrong.
I won’t cry no more no baby, nonono baby, no I won’t.
Cause you ain’t worth my water darling, my water darling
Yeah you’re a waste of my salt
You’ll miss my loving eyes once I have gone,
Cause I’ll be gone gone gone.
You don’t want my love.

COS HE’S PRETTY
I like him cos he’s pretty
Walking here beside me
Like him more with every breath I breathe
Lord, have mercy!
I like him cos he’s pretty
Looking back at me now
His eyes full over with love
Glory almighty!
I like him cos he’s pretty
Think I’d like to have his babies
Growing inside of me
Sweet Jesus save me!
But that’s the way it is, crazy as it seems
And I got what I wanted, and I have what I need.
Yeah I like him cos he’s pretty
Holding on to me now
Like I’m Gods own gold.
Lord, lord, lord!
I like him cos he’s pretty
Walking life beside me now
Love him more with every breath I breathe
Lord have mercy!
But that’s the way it is, crazy and it seems
I got what I wanted, and I have what I need.

BIRD IN THE HAND
A bird in the hand or on the wing
Each is its own precious thing
And yet I extend my heart
A place for you to perch and maybe call your own
Love, our love, remains a precious thing
Held in my hands or on the wing
So tell me who am I to think that I could tame
Such a wild beating heart such a flurry of wings
And yet I know your name
And you call me your own
Love, our love, remains a precious thing
Held in my hands or on the wing.
My soul is a tree who’s branches hold my heart
My hearts a downy nest made by you my sweet bird
You went and laid some eggs, precious little flecked things
Each one a new beginning for someone else's tree.
A bird in the hand or on the wing
Each is it’s own precious thing
And yet I extend my heart
A place for you to perch maybe call your own.

HEARTBREAKER
Look me in the eye and tell me that lie one more time
What can I do? But tell you the truth? And it's gonna hurt.
I don't like it any more than you do but that doesn't change it.
We all mess up now and then in and in real life you can't erase it.
If you wanna be with me well now's your chance to fess and face it.
Cause I don't wanna be that girl
and I dont wanna be your
and I don't wanna be a...
Heartbreaker.
Wouldn't it be sweet if we could be free from all this mess.
But the truth that I know isn't gonna go away cause you asked.
I don't like it any more than you do but that doesn't change it.
We all mess up now and then in and in real life you can't erase it.
If you wanna be with me well now's your chance to fess and face it.
Cause I don't wanna be that girl
and I dont wanna be your
and I don't wanna be a...
Heartbreaker.

SAY THE SAME
You read my journal - page where I list out all your faults.
Of course you’re hurt and now you’re mad at me as well
Well who am I to say the way you should be or not be?
And who are you to turn and say the same to me?
I’ll lose my head if you don’t go read the next page.
Where I go over why I’ll always need you near.
Well who am I to say who I should need or not need?
And who are you to turn and say the same to me?
You know I love the way you put me in my place.
Of course it helps that my place is in your heart.
Well I for one would like to ask for your arms around me.
And maybe you could turn and say the same to me.

GRINDSTONE
Zora speaking through Janey, she told me one rainy afternoon.
She said Love, it ain’t no grindstone
that’s gonna work the same
no matter who’s hand pushes ‘round on some old crank.
Nonono love, she’s a living thing
Moves like the sea
Gonna wash you over and crash down on me.
Your love, it ain’t like they love
Nobody ever had none if they don’t make none.
No Love, it ain’t no grindstone
that’s gonna work the same
no matter who’s hand pushes ‘round on some old crank.
Love, she’s a living thing sweet as a breeze
Gonna blow you over and kiss my sweet cheek.
My love it ain’t like they love
You know you need to make some if you wanna have some.
Love, it ain’t no grindstone
that’s gonna work the same
no matter who’s hand pushes ‘round on some old crank.
Love, she’s a living thing
Sweet as a spring!
Go’wan, dip your cup in and have yo’self a drink!
Our love, it aint like they love. Nobody ever had none quite like our own.

ELECTRIC LOVE
When the pretty girls walk
They don’t gotta use their legs or feet they fly
And when the pretty girls talk
They don’t gotta use their lips or tongue they lie with their eyes
And that’s alright by me cause I’m just goo company. I’m a back up singer. I’m just good company.
But I want you here with me
My darling, my lovely
To feel the tug pull me in,
pull me in to our electric love
cause oh it sings to me
la de da de dee
and as the raven flies
another raven dies
and as the bird sings she needs nothing
and oh I hope its what God has for me
yeah that’d be fine that’s alright by me cause. I’m a back up singer. I’m just good company.
But I want you here with me
My darling, my lovely
To feel the tug pull me in,
pull me in to our electric love
cause oh it sings to me
la de da de dee
