What From What

And my name is Mona Lisa
And true to my likeness
I only half-smile some of the time
I interpret things different
Like a near-sighted alley cat
And I wouldn't turn my back if you were me
But oh, what do I know?
I can't tell what from what anymore
Anymore
And I'm sick of this landscape
And I hate crowds of people
They all stare at me like they've never seen a woman before
And I'm bored with your jargon
And I don't understand your lingo
And I can't for the life of me see what you'd ever see in me
But oh, what do I know?
I can't tell what from what anymore
Anymore
But oh, what do I know?
I can't tell what from what
And now yours is the only interpretation that matters
But you're still only here for a very short time
You return infrequently
Just like all the others
Just staring and gawking, trying to take a peek at me from behind
But oh, what do I know?
But oh, what do I know

Much Too Often
02:15

You're time forgotten
You're the change in my pocket
Quoting Lenon with a wink
Aimed at the bartender
You say "I can't keep my eyes off of you"
And the longer this drags on I bet I'll be falling too pretty soon
A pretty moon
And I didn't know just how to react
But I knew I needed someone to blame
But baby babe we didn't have all the facts
And at the end of the night the facts are all that remain
But I like the way that your eyes squint up
And they sparkle through that smoke
This bar is full of losers and I'm leading the bunch on home
I don't care if I can't see straight
I can see that your friends don't like me
Do you have to run so far so soon?
I promise I'd even sober up by noon
And to this you didn't know just how to react
But you knew you needed someone to blame
But baby babe you didn't have all the facts
And the fact is baby that you didn't even know my name
That night you said you'd wait for me
And I flaked out again
Don't you think that it happens much too often?
But do you have to run so far so soon?
I promise I'd even sober up by noon
For you
And it happens much too often
And it happens much too often
And it happens much too often
And it happens much too often
And it happens much too often
And it happens a lot

What is a Jail For?
04:35
|
|||
|
What if I told you that I had not one regret?
Would that make it easier to give me what I'm gonna get
For a man to forgive he doesn't have to forget
And what is a jail for if not to repay a debt?
I'm the example that you want the world to see
That's why my face is plastered all over your TV
I'm a killer you said and I know that I'll never be free
But a light in this darkness is what I've been tryin to be
I picture this life
From a different set of rules
All you men who don't learn from mistakes
You're history's fools
Fools
What's after this life, your guess is as good as mine
But if there's anything that I've learned it's that I'll be doin just fine
Some have repentance but I've actually done the time
I walk a straight path now and that's as close as you can ever come
To bein ready to die
I picture this life from a different set of rules
All you men who don't learn from mistakes are history's fools
Fools
And I've learned from your mistakes too
What if I told you that I regretted it all
And I'll teach your children what they didn't teach me when I was small
Would you still pull the trigger?
Would the government make that call?
Or stand by your convictions while selling my t-shirt at the mall
What if I told you that I had not one regret
Would that make it easier to give me what I'm gonna get?
For a man to forgive he doesn't have to forget
And what is a jail for if not to repay a debt?
What is a jail for if not to repay a debt?
What is a jail for?

Just For You
02:41
|

I've been walking around with my heart under my sleeve
My sleeve is see-through
Just for you
And I, I been thinking a lot about what you said to me that night
Oh as the sky grew a deeper blue
Just for you
And I am drawn to you like a car accident
And sometimes oh I think I could stay in that car forever sometimes
All these people at this bar every week
They drink and laugh oh and take that seat opposite or in front of me
And I, I can't see what's so funny
How many jokes can there be?
If you wanna win my favor have them turn those lights down
So you can't see me here
Just for you
And I am drawn to you like a car accident
And sometimes oh I think that I could stay in that car forever sometimes
Oh sometimes
Sometimes
I hear that rain on my roof
It says "I'm perfect for you, oh I'm perfect for you"
And I whisper back "oh I'm perfect for you, too"
But just for you

Li'l Thang

Stuck in gravity
Your own orbital pull
And I can hardly speak whenever you're around
Your heat sucks me in
You're the bruises under my skin
An entire solar system where a man should have been
Where a man should have been
You're timid until we speak
And I can't seem to get my nails clean
I'm not always sure what you mean but I know that it's funny
It's like living in slow motion
It's like breathing through your nose
Being lost in a phone book it isn't so bad when the phone book's the most real thing that you've ever had
That you've ever had
Stuck in gravity
You're a sticky picky li'l thang
An entire solar system
An entire solar system
An entire solar system
Where a man should have been
Where a man should have been

Heart of the World
04:27
|

|
I refuse to believe that this ship is sinking
Despite everything I've been recently thinking
When the heart of the world is falling apart
It breaks my heart
And I wanna give up
But I can't
You break everything I will glue it together
Or I'll make you a new one out of pieces of leather
When the heart of the world stops and starts
I bear the marks
And I wanna give up
But I don't
To get right with me you gotta get right with yourself
There's nowhere to hide we gotta get right or else
When the heart of the world is broken in two
It's me and you
And I wanna give up
Oh, but don't you give up
No don't you give up
I thought I was strong enough to bear all of your pain
But all we ever done is complain
When the focus of man is killing time
It's yours and mine
And I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back
