It’s all about the dishes, the dishes, the dishes.
It’s all about the flo’s, the flo’, the flo’.
It’s all about the dishes, the dishes, the dishes.
It’s all about the flo’s, the flo’, the flo’.

Went to get a drink, needed booze so I could think,
Saw your dishes piled up everywhere except the fuckin’ sink.
And they’re full of all your dirt, appetizers to dessert,
Getting nasty, getting moldy, man the stench is gonna hurt.
I put down my beer, wash the shit until it’s clear
Can’t believe I’m cleaning after you when I don’t even live here.
I ain’t your little maid and this really ain’t my job,
But someone’s gotta do it, Bitch, ‘cuz you’re a lazy slob.

I can tell what you’ve been eatin’ ‘cuz it’s all over the floor.
There’s a whole bologna sammich from the kitchen to your door.
You spilled the milk out your bowl and you scattered Cheerios.
Choc’late ice cream by the fridge … how’d you get that shit so thick?
I always wear my shoes ‘cuz I’m afraid of what you’ll lose.
I don’t know what’s been chewed. I’m sick of steppin’ on your food.
Don’t know how you’re livin’ when your food stays in the kitchen,
but you’ve got my permission to come back for this chicken.

It’s all about the cleaning, domestic hygiene n’, washing and
sweeping, keeping shit neat n’
Bitch, you got me hatin’, you’re not appreciatin’ my daily negatin’ of
the mess that you’re creatin’
It’s all about the dishes, can’t take it no more, gonna break them on
the floor and sweep them under your door.
It’s all about you, the shit that you do, disgusting and crude, so
fuck it I’m through.

Wake me
Break me

Father, you have built me of wind and earth and rain
Cast me into dust so I can find myself again

Wake me (fire, water, wind and earth)
Break me (bring me home through my rebirth).

Wake me.

He took every little piece of me
I wonder who I want to be
Words aren’t coming fast enough
So I pray

Thought I’d be forever in his kiss
He’ll never be the one [that] I miss
So you’ll just have to do better
Oh I pray

Please give me a reason
[Please] tell me my season
[Please] before my blue skies turn to grey

I’ll give you every little piece of me
I’ll wonder who you want to be
Your love’s not coming fast enough
Still I pray

[Pray I'll be forever in your kiss
Pray you’re not the one i’ll have to miss
Oh baby, please do better
Oh I pray]

Please give me a reason
[Please] tell me my season but
[Please] before my blue skies turn to grey
Before my blue skies turn to grey

You confide that you’re sliding away
That you’re frightened youre turning to clay
And the numbness inside you is all you feel

And it’s clear that youre starting to fall
Throw your body against your dark walls
Where nothing can harm you but nothing’s real

And it hurts me so bad to see you hurt like that

And I would let you take it out on me if I could only figure out what you needed
And I would tell you to push me aside if Im the reason why you’re staying defeated
And I would give you everything I got if I thought it would get you together
And I would give you all the answers if I only knew them but Im no better

I can see that you sparkle inside
See you there you think that you hide
Youre as clear as the sunlight, you’re shining through

I’m not scared that you think youre half gone
When you tell me soul has gone wrong
As long as you’ll have me I’m sticking to you but it

And it hurts me so bad to see you hurt like that

And I would let you take it out on me if I could only figure out what you needed
And I would tell you to push me aside if Im the reason why you’re staying defeated
And I would give you everything I got if I thought it would get you together
And I would give you all the answers if I only knew them but I’m no better.

Darryl: Hey Sally
Sally: Yes Darryl?
Darryl: I was wonderin’…well, you see…
Sally: Go on…
Darryl: If you’d do me the honour of going out with me.
There’s this movie that I’m really into.
With ponies and dinos and beer.
They make shakes out of maggots.
It killed Keanu’s career. (That’s why I like it!)
And then we can go steady
And superglue our hands
And stay for ever and always and ever like a whaler and her man.

(Sally)
Your odor pokes intrusively
I don’t dare act delusively
I can only spew out the truth!
I say this with impunity:
I’d rather puke exclusively
than spend exclusive time with you!

Sally: Let’s go for a stroll and vomit exclusively
Pick a bush and vomit unyieldingly
Guess what I had for dinner last night
Darryl: An egg and turkey sandwich?
Sally: That’s right!

Darryl: Oh, Sally!
Sally: Yes, Darryl?
Darryl: Your pavement pizza is divine.
Would you do me [...] the honour; oh Sally please be mine!
We could move into a house!
Impregnate you right away!
And spin around in circles.
And stick on appliques.
And then we could get married
And cement ourselves at the hip.
For always and ever and always —- that’s what I call courtship.

PRE-CHORUS (Sally)
I’d like to speak diffusively
About this opportunity
That you have so persuasively raised
I detest your jejunity
I’d rather chuck effusively
than come and share your personal space

Sally:Let’s go for a stroll and vomit exclusively
Pick a bush and vomit unyieldingly
Guess what I had for dinner last night
Darryl: Pickle beans and salad?
Both: That’s right!

Pickle beans and salad?
Pickle beans and salad?
Pickle beans and salad?
That’s right!

I am born and
She is dying
When his bones have
Turned to dust
They could never
Have imagined
What is where their
Feet have trod.

Count the ages
Count the eras
Count the decades
Count the years
Count the days
Count the hours
What it all comes down to…
Is the seconds on your clock.

Rains will come, runs the make-up down your face
Rains will come, tears will flow without a trace
You can’t live your life under your broken dreams
You can’t go and hide when you’ve lost all you seek

Rains will come, dig your feet in as it falls
Rains will come, lash your arms against the walls
You can’t live your life escaped from your own eyes
You can’t close yourself out to what’s inside
it comes

Strong as stone
Rooted deep
Hands outstretched
We weather…

Strong as stone
Rooted deep
Hands outstretched
We weather…

Rains will come, reaching down into your bones
Rains will come, do not leave yourself alone
You can’t live your life without holding your hand
And when lightening strikes you were you stand
it comes

Strong as stone
Rooted deep
Hands outstretched
We weather…

And when lightening strikes you were you stand
it comes.

Past the park bench
Where we sat last night
When you looked in my eyes
As our love took flight

By the water fountain
In the evening’s heavy mist
I took your hand in mine
And we shared an epic kiss

Then we opened our eyes to find
The world seems lighter
The colours seems brighter
The sun shines stronger
Watching the birds fly

Our hearts beat faster
We’re bathed in laughter
Our happy ever after
Watching the birds fly

I can’t believe it
Have we really come this far?
From midnights on the swing set
When we used to count the stars

Then we opened our eyes to find
The world seems lighter
The colours seems brighter
The sun shines stronger
Watching the birds fly

Our hearts beat faster
We’re bathed in laughter
Our happy ever after
Watching the birds fly

Watching our love fly
Watching the birds fly.

There once was a little boy who used to think his sister hung the moon
She was four years older but in baby pictures, you can’t tell who’s who
From the time he learned to walk, he’d follow her around
And when he learned to talk, he would talk to her alone
among the crowd

And for her part she loved him so, a love that nothing in the world could bar
And though he was confusing, she would look into his face and see a star
She’d play his made-up games with him although they never quite made sense
She’d spin around and laugh with him and in their living room
he wasn’t different

And then the little boy had to face the world and it was as she feared
The others didn’t love him, they heard the way he talked and called him weird
They wouldn’t play with him because he couldn’t catch a ball so well
And nothing that his sister tried to do to make him laugh would
make him smile

That little boy grew up, he grew up quickly past her five foot four
And when she came to visit him his older sister missed him all the more
‘Cuz he would just look down on her because he so smart and sure
with so much built inside him that he wanted to lash out
and make her small

She asks herself what happened, what time did and whether she’s to blame
and wonders if he looks at her when she’s not looking wondering the same
And if he ever thinks back to their laughter and their silliness
And is that little boy someone he hates?

There once was a little boy who used to think his sister hung the moon.

I know that I need you in a way that you would never want to know
I know if I let you see the truth you’d be afraid and let me go

You are my everything
You keep me safe and whole and strong
But when you’re far away I’m fading
I’m worth nothing when you’re gone

Reach out, love
Reach out and save me if you will
When I am falling
Let me believe you love me still

I’m trying to train myself to keep me in and not to burden you
I’m trying to resist because you paint my reds with muted, placid blues

You are my everything
Although I know your eyes are cold
Your love is freezing me
But please don’t leave me here alone

Reach out, love
Reach out and save me if you will
When I am falling
Let me believe you love me still

Take what you want of me
Push me away and make me hurt
For being a parasite
It’s nothing more than I deserve

Reach out, love
Reach out and save me if you will
When I am falling
Let me believe you love me still

I remember when I asked you to be with me
You laughed and kissed me, said you’d never felt so free
I promised you that I would always stay beside you
And I said you loved me more than the sea was wide

How can just one tiny word change your life
In an instant, in a moment
How can it be?
How can one conversation turn it round
In an instant, in a moment when you tell me
That you want to take it back

I remember the day we wed so vividly
When we walked down the beach with both our families
I remember the starlight dancing your eyes
How you were so happy that you cried

How can just one tiny word change your life
In an instant, in a moment
How can it be?
How can one conversation turn it round
In an instant, in a moment when you tell me
That you want to take it back

All alone in the house we built to be our own
With our children’s toys all strewn about the floor
Remembering the days we thought we’d make it
We molded our lives together so they’d fit, but you say they don’t now

How can just one tiny word change your life
In an instant, in a moment
How can it be?
How can one conversation turn it round
In an instant, in a moment when you tell me
That you want to take it back

Plaid mini skirt don’t cover up nothing
Showing so fine an ass
They don’t even see her face
On the street you wouldn’t even know her
But in here she’s the star
That brings the boys into the place
So smooth how she moves it to the music
When the top comes off
The boys all rush the stage
They’re all begging for a minute of attention
And she’s going to make them pay
For the privilege of it.

They can look but they will never touch her
And they’re giving up their pay
Just to have their face rubbed in it
On the stage she’s everybody’s lover
The girl next door
Dream come true virgin-whore
So sly, she’s the honey to their fly
Takes them in the back room
To feed on their fantasies
And for a little extra on side
She’ll give them a glimpse
Of the Holy of Holies now.

Making love to the room, but marking each one’s face in turn
Seeking out the desperate
And fanning their darkest flames
Stroking their desire until they’re fit to burst with it
Giving them a taste and they give the game away
Give them a look and light up the empty space
Play them like a fiddle, they always take the bait
One man’s daughter, another man’s slave
Slipping through them like smoke
And leaving them lighter for it.

Flickering and waxing,
wavering and waning.
(The contours of your skin shift before my eyes.
I put my hands on you; your solidness is gone.)

Suspended and weightless,
I seek out your pieces.
(I wander through the world with both my hands outstretched.
I do not trust my sight; I’ll feel you when you’re near.)

Elusive, unyielding,
I’m drifting unanchored.
(I hold my thoughts of you for fear we’ll slip away.
A windswept vagabond; I circumnavigate.)

Come home.

I missed a miss amidst the mist.
Admist the mist, I missed a mister.
Admist the mist is where I missed her.
A mister missed admist the mist.

(A mister kissed admist the mist.
A miss I kissed admist the mist.)

You pick me up
you put me down
you toss me here and there
and when I’m drained
you cradle me
I fall into despair

I sit and wait
and wait some more
seeking your attention
I’m good enough
but you can’t see
all I feel is tension

I’m the one with all your secrets
and those whispering regrets
I listen to you all the time
I hear laughter and crying
the things you’re implying
but baby you ain’t worth a dime

Push my buttons
no really please
I love it when you do
Use me when sad
use me when glad
I’m only here for you

I’m the one with all your secrets
and those whispering regrets
I listen to you all the time
I hear laughter and crying
the things you’re implying
but baby you ain’t worth a dime

See, now I quit
you done me wrong
and my battery died
No more for you
and your breath eew!
can’t say I never tried

I am your phone with all your secrets
and those whispering regrets
I listen to you all the time
I hear laughter and crying
the things you’re implying
but baby you ain’t worth a dime
