Big Sis Miss

She's the queen to your throne
The soft tissue surrounding the bones
She's the big splash, the fish in your bowl
Here's your newsflash
I dig my big sis Miss
When you're singing alone
No worries, the rhythm is strong
She's the countdown into your song
She's the one, two, three, four
Don't you love my big sis, love my big sis Missy!
Oh Missy!
She's a good Sunday morning
The honk in your horn
She's a car crash in your Ronin
She's your whiplash
I dig my big sis Miss
And if it ever got boring
she'll rewrite your story!
Your destination, whether coming or going,
she's up, left, down, right
Don't you love my big sis, love my big sis Missy!
Oh Missy!
She's a peace sign
She's a friend to the foe
She's a cease-fire in the middle of war
She's a world class leader
and I hope you get to meet her!
Don't you love my big sis, love my big sis
love my big sis, love my big sis
love my big sis, love my big sis
Missy!

Hurting

Will you fetch my meds?
And rub my aching head?
Will you prop my legs up?
Don't you know I'm hurting?
I'm hurting.
Ouch ouch ouch
ouch ouchy ouchy ouch
Ouch ouch ouch
ouch ouchy ouchy ouch
Will you feed my head (with some crash crush mush)?
And fill my empty bed (with some crash crush tush)?
Will you hold my name up?
Don't you know I'm hurting?
(You know he's hurting.)
Ouch ouch ouch
ouch ouchy ouchy ouch
Ouch ouch ouch
ouch ouchy ouchy ouch
Oh wouldn't it behoove you?
Let's rewrite the story
where you don't ignore me, and I don't you,
and we're laughing like we used to do.
Ha ha ha ha ha!

You roam about your roundabout waiting for your turn
Has it come your way?
Heaven's no!
Heaven's no!
If it's a shark that you must eat do you think he's just going to kill himself?
Heaven's no!
Heaven's no!
No way...
Once I was a poor man,
the best of my lovers divested of me
Once I was a blind man
I eyed the truth and declared mystery
But lately, lately
I've been lost in love, and it's wonderful!
Might the spit from the wind you blow
blow it back in your face,
would you call it quits?
Heaven's no!
Heaven's no!
Should devotion fall upon you,
will you go unscathed?
Heaven's no!
Heaven's no!
No way you couldn't do it!
There's nothing to it!
I'm obliged to help you so
quit your bitching, twitching!
Never could you know
if you've never been shown the way!
Once I was a poor man,
the best of my lovers divested of me
Once I was a blind man
I eyed the truth and declared it a mystery
But lately, lately
I've been lost in love, and it's wonderful!

From a Dream

(Part 1)
So long is the night, getting longer
I've lost the fight, but still I'm stronger
And win one day I might
But for now I'm fine with your hand in mine
When everything has gone wrong
No one was around to read my letter
Or stay until I was feeling better
And how were you to know how long?
How? How long?
And still your hand is securing mine
And now I'm fine
When everything has gone wrong
(Part 2)
Arm in arm, we hold each other
Close enough to know that it's too late to be alone
We were two strangers on the phone
Until we were not
We cried so many ways
We slept for days and days
And, honey, now you're waking up to me
And I'm waking, I'm waking from a bad dream!
Oh! Hello!

Lie to Me
02:50
|
|||
|
I think I want to hear it
Yeah, I want to hear you
lie to me, baby
Is there no better story
than the truth you're telling now?
Lie to me, baby
Just tell me that you will remain this time,
that your wandering heart
can go unnamed with mine,
that our love was never made of chain and twine,
and that you want this man
to walk with hand in hand
You didn't want to hear it
No, you wanted me to
lie to you, baby
Well, there's no better story
than the one I'll tell you now
I'll tell you that I'm ready to settle down
No other passion there to weigh me down
And children? Lord, they're all around!
But do you want this man
to walk with hand in hand?

Hope
I'm flying to your window
But, coming in too low,
I fall, I fall, I fall
and so you take off my clothes
and pinch back my bloody nose
and I know I'll be alright
Something in your warm light
pens it in my wild skies:
"Stay if you want to.
I'm someone who can love you."
Through the damages that undo
the palaces that we grew
I still belong to you
And the pain in my heart, it ends where you start
and I know I'll be alright
Something in your warm light
pens it in my wild skies:
"Stay if you want to.
I'm someone who can love you."

Baby Boy

Oh baby boy, let them hear you speak
May your pull be strong, may their push be weak
Run all your miles with pebble in shoe
to remind you I'm the one who runs with you
I know
You'll learn boy, one good woman is proof
that while the brain needs one heart,
the soul needs two
A lone failed one cries surrendered gale
But two failed ones in love together never fail
I know, I know
I know... boy, I know
Heed no man who culls you his hell to fight
To be sumpter of the dark won't compel the light
And listen, boy, for that wellspring, your spirit
It's your faith in my own one
That's where you'll hear it
And I sware you'll hear it now!
Oh, I never really lost too much of anything
Oh, but what I lost
What I lost meant so many things to me
High above your dreams I can be found
I can be found
I can be found
I can be found
(I love you, boy)

I know you're mad at me
You want to wait and see
Let me make it right
Let me stay another night
I want to talk it through
So let me walk with you
I'll tread the thinnest ice
just to stay another night
Let me stay another night
Oh let me stay another night
So what did I do wrong?
Oh, honey, did I wait too long
to tell you I'm in love with you?
Well, it's true!
That I'm in love with you!
Yes it's true, yes it's true!
That I'm in love with you!
Yes it's true!
What did I do wrong?
Honey, did I wait too long
to tell you I'm in love with you?
I'm in love with you
(Let me stay another night)
I'm in love with you
(Let me stay another night)
I'm in love with you
(Let me stay another night)
I'm in love with you
(Let me stay another night)

Little Sister
05:12
|

We're sharing a bloodline
like two grapes on a grapevine
We're like a radio playing in stereo
I wonder where you are
No matter how far, you're never too far
for you to hear me now as I shout it out
You are my little sister!
You are my little sister!
And you'll always be that way to me!
Yeah you'll always be that way to me!
Tiny Tara Betty!
You are my little sister!
You are my little sister!
And you'll always be that way to me!
Yeah you'll always be that way!
I caught a glimpse of the sunshine
when Mama put your little hand in mine
and said, "You're her big brother now
Don't ever let her down."
Now you've built your own calvary
with a man, a home, a family
and god that's beautiful
Still, I want to let them know!
You are my little sister!
You are my little sister!
And you'll always be that way to me!
Yeah you'll always be that way to me!
C'mon Tara Betty!
You are my little sister!
(I am your little sister)
You are my little sister!
(I am your little sister)
And you'll always be that way to me!
(I'll always be that way to you)
Yeah you'll always be that way!
And I'm free as the ocean
I'm free as the ocean
I'm free as the ocean
If I could hold you now, I would
If I could hold you now, I would
If I could hold, hold, hold...
Brothers are you ready?
(Yeah!)
Sisters are you ready?
(Yeah!)
Is everybody ready?
You are my little sister
(I am your little sister)
