Amnesty
Everything revolves around amnesty
I free you and you free me
But still we're victims of our own complacency
I free you and you free me
Do myopic people have a nearsighted blink?
I see you and you see me
If you jump on your bed, do you sleep on your trampoline?
I see you and you see me

But I can take you somewhere, someday
I can take you somewhere, someday

Everything revolves around love you see
'Cause I love you and you love me
And everything revolves around trust you see
I trust you and you trust me

'Cause I can probably take you somewhere, someway
I can take you somewhere, someday

In my backpack is a bright orange folder
And that's where all my astrology notes are held 
And I sleep so well when my dear love I hold her, yeah
I sleep so well when her chin's on my shoulder

And everything revolves around honesty
I see you and you see me
And everything revolves around ?????????
I see you and you see me

Because I can take you somewhere, someday
I can take you somewhere, someday
Someday, someday



It's No Secret (Swollen)
Just because I fall from trees, all you do is rake me
Why is it you take me for a fallen leaf?
And ever since I feel raw, all you do is bake me
Why is it you take me for your recipe?

Swollen in me's a swollen injury (x2)
You know I love you and I'll never quit
And now everybody I know has figured out and it's no secret

And ever since I fell asleep, all you do is wake me
Why is it you take me for a little boy? 
And ever since I said I'm afraid, all you do is forsake me
Why are you so sarcastic to me?

When I see a smile on your face
Well everything starts to fall into place
You know I love you and I'll never quit
And now everybody I know has figured out, it's no secret

And just because I fall from trees, all you do is rake me
Why is it you take me for a fallen leaf?
And ever since I feel raw, all you do is bake me
Why is it you take me for your recipe?

Swollen in me's a swollen injury (x2)
You know I love you and I'll never quit
And now everybody I know has figured out, and it's no secret
It's no secret (x6)



Heaven Sent
She has a good heart, she uses it well
She fills it up daily so there won't be any dry spell
He lives on the first floor
And I can hear him laugh on the third
And he laughs like a baby cries
Like I've never heard

And he's not omniscient
And he's not arrogant
Whether or not she admits it
He is heaven sent (x3)
Heaven sent

And she has a good hand, but she uses it never
Tries to avoid any influence and emotional endeavor
And she could always cry, but she smiles instead
She's like an old sweet melody
She sings in my head:
Whoa, oh, oh, oh (x2)

And she's not omniscient
And she's not arrogant
Whether or not she admits it
He is heaven sent
And she is heaven sent
Heaven sent

She's not arrogant
And she's not omniscient
Whether or not he admits it
She is heaven sent (x2)
Heaven sent

And we have a beautiful whisper
And we whisper so well
I will always hear it in my ear
Like the whoosh of a seashell (x2)
Like the whoosh



While My Hair Grows Long
All the hope and all the trust in me
Always must stand by you faithfully
While my hair grows long
Happiness shall linger on inside of me

My poor hamster he has long since gone
But my big brother, he just plods along
While my hair grows long
All the clippings on my wall stare down at me

Oooh, and all the sun in, all the sun in me
Could never shine half as brightly
But if my hair grows long
Civil wars will linger on inside of me

Ooh, but all the corrosion and all the rust in me
Is there only because you're far away from me
And all the hope and all the trust in me
Could never leave you alone hopelessly
But if my hair grows long
Happiness shall linger on and linger on (repeat)

Oooh, while my hair grows long
I'm sure that my heart will beat more easily
Heart will beat more easily
Oooh, while my hair grows long
I'm sure that my tears will fall more freely



A 1000 Roses
A thousand roses, a thousand roses for my sweetheart
I will plant a thousand roses
A thousand castles, a thousand castles for my sweetheart
I will build a thousand castles

'Cause her teeth are a white picket fence
And her eyes are a table of contents
Because wah, oh oh oh
It goes 1, 0, 0, 0
That's the way I'll show about the status quo we'll always go tomorrow

A thousand windows, a thousand windows for my sweetheart
I'll look out a thousand windows
A thousand oceans, a thousand oceans for my sweetheart
I will swim a thousand oceans

'Cause the cleft in her chin is like a car dent
And her eyes are a table of contents
It goes 1, 0, 0, 0
That's the way I'll show about the status quo we'll always go tomorrow

A thousand windows, a thousand windows for my sweetheart
I will wash a thousand windows
'Cause her teeth are a white picket fence
And her eyes are a table of contents
It goes 1, 0, 0, 0
That's the way I'll show about the status quo we'll always go tomorrow
Tomorrow (x3)



Anastarsia
Anastarsia, she wears an honest blue dress
And it was made from what her monther didn't use yesterday
Oh bless, oh bless my Anastarsia (x2)

'Cause I'm hers and she's mine
But only when it's convenient

Anastarsia, well she never had a gun
Anastarsia, she never thought that she would need one
Anastarsia, she never did no drugs like 
Anastasia, ?She never bought any wall rugs?

Except for she had a credit card
And she used to use it on monday

Anastarsia, she wrote a letter to me in October
And now I wonder if she is like the other homegirls all over
Because her hair is dark, and her skin is dark
And her eyes are dark, and her disposition is dark
But that's ok, as long as she visits me on cold days
And ?????? me on cold days, and hugs me on freezing days
Like my Anastarsia would
My Anastarsia would (x6)




Always Give Your Love Away
Oh when will you say
"Nothing's bothering me"
Sure would be so comforting to feel some positive energy
And when will you say that
"My life is lovely, lovely, lovely"
Sure would be so comforting to see you someday smiling
Well, two lonely people never found solace and solitude
They never compromise their egos
Now she's lost wherever he goes
He's lost wherever she goes
But that's how the story goes
Yeah that's how the story goes

So you should always give your love away, give your love away
Well I don't know why, maybe it just works that way
You should always give your love away, give your love away
The skin will only come off if you shed it
Happiness will only come in if you let it, oh

And when will you say
"My life has every, every, everything"
Despite a seat where nothing sits
You'll find a space where nothing fits
And when will you say that
"My life is so beautiful"
Despite a space where nothing fits
You'll find us seats where no one sits

Well, two lonely people never found solace and solitude
They never compromise their egos
Now she's lost wherever he goes
He's lost wherever she goes
No longer amigos
But that's how the story goes
Yeah that's how the story goes

Ah, you should always give your love away, give your love away
I don't know why, maybe it just works that way
But you should always give your love away, give your love away
The skin will only come off if you shed it
Happiness will only come out if you let it, oh

Two lonely people tried to quell each other's loneliness
They found out when they separated
All that they anticipated
Suddenly disintegrated
And they felt so jaded
And that's how the story goes
Yeah that's how the story goes

You should always give your love away (x8)
The skin will only come off if you shed it
Happiness will only come in if you let it



Nicotine Queen
Nicotine queen
Well I've been waiting for her scream
When I'm wandering
She's a smoke signal for me

In her own reflection there is a section of her eye that dilates
Is it just a mirror?  Why do I fear her?  Is it I that violates?
Her space, her freedom, am I too much in her face?
Like a vacillating kingdom?
Her space, her freedom, am I too much in her face?
Like a vacillating kingdom?

But she's my nicotine queen
And I've been waiting for her scream
When I'm wandering
She's a smoke signal for me

Cigarettes surround her, never astound her, she is too busy wondering
About the money she used to buy her cat food, but is her cat pondering?
Her room, her CD's of Donny & Marie
And the Bee Gees
Her room, her CD's of Donny & Marie
And the Bee Gees

I don't sleep and I don't slumber, ever since I got her phone number
I don't sleep and I don't rest, ever since I looked up her address
Her address

Nobody is looking, nobody's booking gigs for her and her disco band
And nobody is smoking, back in the kitchen camel Lights that are contraband
To her lungs, to her breath
Everybody knows cigarettes bring bad breath
To her lungs, to her breath
Everybody knows cigarettes bring early death
And bad breath

But she's my nicotine queen
And I've been waiting for her scream
When I'm wandering
She's a smoke signal for me
She's a smoke
She's my nicotine queen (x4)



Let Me Be Your Love
What are you crying for?
It's a beautiful day
And sadness only brings more sadness
You should be smiling
It's a wonderful day
And it's your heart I'm after, baby

Why are you sleeping?
It's a beautiful Earth
Filled with families and flowers
You should apreciate 
Life is so much more
Than getting stoned and studying for hours

But still my nights are lonely
And till my days are long
Ooooooh, let me be your love (x3)

Why are you sleeping?
Some day we'll grow gray hair
And wonder why we had to grow old
But I'm here
And it's your heart I'm after
I'm sure our happiness with unfold, baby

And still my days are lonely
Still my nights are lonesome
Ooooooh, let me be your love (x3)

Ooooooh, let me be your love (x3)



Blue
As sure as the sky is blue, I will never understand you
And as sure as the heaven's high, my confusion multiplies

Because I can't see you and I can't hold you anymore
Oh my lord
Now ever since you told me you can't hold me anymore
Oh my lord

And as sure as the rain is wet, I will never forget
And as sure as the desert's dry, you will never tell me why

I can't see you and I can't hold you anymore
Oh my lord
Now you destroyed my master plan
Now all day and night I am

Blue, blue, so blue
The whole day through
Over you, over you
I'm blue, blue, so blue
Now I waste all my energy over you

And as sure as the moon is full, my soul could use some renewal
And as sure as the sun is bright, you will win our next big fight

Because I can't see you and I can't hold you anymore
Oh my lord
Now ever since you told me you can't hold me anymore
Oh my lord

And as sure as your hair is long, you will disregard this song
And as deep as the national debt, I'm sure someday I'll regret

The fact that you can't see me, you can't hold me anymore
Oh my lord
Now you destroyed my master plan
Now all day and night I am

Blue, blue, blue
The whole day through
Over you, over you
I'm blue, blue, so blue
Now I waste all my energy over you

Softly, nightly
I'm imprisoned in the thicket of your memory
Softly, nightly
I'm imprisoned in the thicket of your memory
I'm blue



Bigstick
My knuckles I'll crack, my teeth I will grind
I'll shuffle my feet and a big stick I'll find
A whiff on the whale that just killed my crew
It's big and it's black and it looks like Shamu
I said a monster's attack is never too kind
But let me repeat that a big stick I'll find
A whiff on the monster so he splashes and kicks
It's big and it's meaner than ten Moby Dicks

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, she got it, got it (x2)

I don't like the monkeys that swing from the vine
So let me repeat that a big stick I'll find
I'll whiff on the monkeys so they won't swing around
Distract me from treasures that lie underground
Watermelon I eat and I chew on the rind
So let me repeat that a big stick I'll find
And whiff on the monkeys so they won't swing around
It's big and it's meaner than ten Moby Dicks

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, she got it, got it (x2)

Ooooooh oh (x8)

Said I'm funky, I'm spunky, my peanut butter's chunky
My homeboy's name is Monty, and I like my trees trunky
I'm groovin' on the bass all over this place
With your funky spunky punky funky peanut butter face
I'm funky, I'm spunky, my peanut butter's chunky
My favorite sound is flunky and I like my trees trunky
I'm groovin' on the bass all over this place
With your funky spunky punky Shamu face

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, she got it, got it (x2)

Like I said,
My knuckles I'll crack, my teeth I will grind
I'll shuffle my feet and a big stick I'll find
A whiff on the whale that just killed my crew
It's big and it's black and it looks like Shamu
I said a monster's attack is never too kind
But let me repeat that a big stick I'll find
A whiff on the monster so he won't swim and kick
It's big and it's meaner than ten Moby Dicks

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, she got it, got it (x8)
