Self-Titled Meet Virginia
She doesn't own a dress, her hair is always a mess
If you catch her stealin, she won't confess
She's beautiful
She never compromises, loves babies and surprises
Wears hi-heels when she exercises
Ain't that beautiful
Meet Virginia
Well she wants to be the Queen
Then she thinks about her scene
Pulls her hair back as she screams
I don't really wanna be the queen
Her daddy wrestles alligators, Mama works on
carburetors
Her brother is a fine mediator for the President
Well here she is again on the phone
Just like me hates to be alone
We just like to sit at home, and rip on the President
Meet Virginia
Well she wants to live her life
Then she thinks about her life
Pulls her hair back as she screams
I don't really wanna live this life
She only drinks coffee at Midnight, when the moment is
not
right, her timing is quite-unusual
you see her confidence is tragic, but her intuition
magic
and the shape of her body - unusual
Meet Virginia-I can't wait to
Meet Virginia-Yea
Chorus I & 2
I Am
I never been on a railroad, as many times as they pass
me by
I never crashed in the desert or seen a rodeo
I don't know much about the world wars or Vietnam
I've yet to read about Uncle Tom
Never climbed a real rock or seen Colorado
Am I the son I think I am
Am I the friend I think I am
Am I the man I think I wanna be - hey
I never had a day where money didn't get in my way
I never listened to much Elvis
I can't remember a warm December
Am I the son I think I am
Am I the friend I think I am
Am I the man I think I wanna be - hey
Cause I'm here for my sanity sanity
I am here for you
I'm here for your fantasy sanity, I am here
I am
Am I the son I think I am
Am I the friend I think I am
Am I the man I think I wanna be
Cause I'm here for my sanity sanity I am here for you
Whether or not I'm walkin in
Whether or not I'm walkin out
I'm always here for you
If You Leave
Sweet dreams from Texaco, and I know your mind is on
its way to Mexico, sweet Jesus is on his way to take
you on his way down
You get your fill of what you like and you fill your
head
with what you might want yourself to be when you're
ready
But if you leave
It's gonna get a little easier to break down
And if you leave
It's gonna get a little bit easier for you to break
down
My new dress is your new way out, my new way is your
new
dress, and you look fine
But your new belief is my regret and my regret
leaves you to believe that we have found the line
And if you leave
Take me along, anywhere is ok
And if you leave
Take me along, anywhere is ok
Think back and you can feel me movin through you
It's easy when you try
Think back and you can feel me
Well you won't feel me
You can't feel me if you leave
And if you leave
You won't feel me
Homesick
So your tired of wakin up on empty
You left for something that ain't real
So you think a couple of familiar faces
is gonna turn it all around
You wanna be where they still pump your gas for you
where they remember your name
They think that you are some beauty queen
or somethin better
where they remember your name
Ain't it good to think about the weather
Doesn't seem to be time for that no more
It's hard to hear when you're busy sayin what you want
said
Well what you want said, it ain't clear
You wanna be where they still open doors for you
It's not hard for them to remember you at all
They light your cigarette and tell their friends
you used to love them
Where they remember your name
More forgiveness
More time away from feelin like you do today
More forgiveness
More time away from feelin this way
It's easy when you laugh, reminds you of you
It's easy when it's easy, it still ain't easy at all
So you're tired of wakin up on empty
You left for something that ain't right, ain't right
You wanna be where they still pump your gas for you
where they remember your name
They think that you are some beauty queen
or somethin better
where they remember your name
More forgiveness
More time away from feelin like you do today
More forgiveness
More time away from feelin this way
Free
Staring at the dark again, you left your silhouette
upon my pillow
Right inside the night, I'm waiting for the light,
seems like
I'm in the middle
Workin for something that I can't touch and sometimes
can't even believe in - woh
Cradled by the hands of fate the faith that
sometimes wraps around too tight - so tight
They call me free - But I call me a fool
They call me free - But I call me a fool
Well I look back at April, but she won't look back at
me
No, no, no
So I pray in May for June to stay, but she just came
to wash into the sea - away
They call me free - But I call me a fool
Slipped down to Mexico, started messin with her yellow
afro
Slipped down behind the sheets, started talkin bout
Pistol Pete
Slipped down to the African, started talkin bout what
she can do
Well here we are again, back where we started
Slipped down to the dark again
You left your silhouette on my pillow - hey
Well I'm right inside the night, I'm waitin for the
light
Seems like I'm in the, seems like I'm always in the
middle
They call me free - But I call me a fool;
Blind
The color of my hair is changing, my skin is soft
too soft for a man my age, and I am never alone
Where is time taking me
Nothin is real, this is how I feel
And nothing is wrong but everything takes too long
How did this end up me against you
With everything that I say, and everything you do
Your smile is changing yea, where is time taking you
Cause nothing is real, this is how I feel
And nothing is good, but I don't mind being blind
if you don't mind doing time
Nothing is wrong but everything takes too long
Hey by the way, when I fell to your
waste side, did I crash or just slide
Hey by the way, when I pulled myself up
To your waste side did I hurt you or just slide in
So this is how it feels to get a little older
and some would say wiser
But we know what that means, maybe not
when maybe that's what that means, maybe not
Cause nothing is real, this is how I feel
And nothing is good, but I don't mind being blind
if you don't mind doing time
Nothing is wrong but everything takes too long
Hey by the way, when I fell to your
waste side, did I crash or just slide
Hey by the way, when I pulled myself up
To your waste side did I hurt you or just slide in
Eggplant
Scarlet your eyes, cover your face
If I could dance, or stay in this place
I would be King and you would be mine
I would be day and you would be time
Eggplant and Caviar for you
For you for you for you
Eggplant and Caviar for you
Hold up my wings cause you are the sky
Paint me by numbers and don't ask me why
Cause I am in bloom and you are perfume
And you are perfume and you are
Eggplant and Caviar for you
For you for you for you
Eggplant and Caviar for you
for you for you for you - ah
Apple Pie or Apple seed,
all the mouths that I must feed
Cold sheets or Tumble weed
all the ones that I must need
I would be King and you would be mine
I would be nine and you would be Mother Time
Eggplant and Caviar for you, for you, for you
Apple Pie or Apple seed,
all the mouths that I must feed
Cold sheets or Tumble weed
all the ones that I must need
All the ones that I must need
Idaho
Texas are you my friend, you live so close to the end
Texas are you my friend, cause I'm afraid of you
Hey Maine hey, you're a little too high for me
And Fla you're just a little too low
D.C. you could be the end of me
I think I'm movin to Idaho
I ain't afraid of you
Oo, people on the outside lookin in
Mother Nature shakes, what then what then
Oo, people on the outside lookin through
she'll shake you to Idaho, that's what she'll do
Oo, Oo Carolina Brother's you make me crawl under the
covers
I just can't get myself to go, oh no
Hey Joe I see your name too, but there is nothin that
they can do
I think I'm movin to Idaho
I ain't afraid of you
Oo, people on the outside lookin in
Mother Nature shakes, what then what then
Oo, people on the outside lookin through
she'll shake you to Idaho, that's what she'll do
Days
It's been days since I been doin well
since I don't feel like hell or crawlin under you
It's been crazy feelin like I do. I'd like to blame it
all
on you for crawlin under me-Yea
Am I wrong for takin this so hard, for tearin me apart
tearin me apart, partly tearin me a whole in my heart
Hey is everybody right, have I become so uptight, I'm
givin it away
And if blame is the answer, it's under control
And if shame is the answer, I'm sellin my soul
And if pain is the answer, I've seen it all
Hey Hey Hey, I'm tryin' to calm you down
Don't seem to see it the way I see it
Round & Round & Round
Everybody's feelin uptight
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey is everybody is everybody on
the same page, am I just one to move about the house
this way
And if blame is the answer, it's under control
And if shame is the answer, I'm sellin my soul
And if pain is the answer, I've seen it all
Hey Hey Hey, I'm tryin' to calm you down
It's been days since I been doin well
Since I don't feel like hell or crawlin under you
Rat
Not too smart, just out of school
A teachers pet and modern fool
Talked about being a freelance broker
But the police caught him tryin to choke her
Can't describe him in his corner
Like a rat out of the water
Out of work and outta grass
Mother Mary, never seems to stop to talk, she just
walk on past
Down Down, no information one day always away
But why why, can't I see you
One day always away
Why why can't I be you
One day always away
He's outta school now, just another taken barstool
and this neighborhood ain't what he had in mind
wants to be your girlfriend, love to be your boyfriend
wants to be your telephone, wants to wants to be your
man
But why why, can't I see you
One day always away
Why why can't I be you
One day always away
Down Down, no information
Swaying
Don't talk too fast to me-slow-I wanna know
Share your philosophy before you go-I wanna know
If I knew better, I wouldn't wanna say
If I knew better, I wouldn't let the words feel this
way
Cold, so cold, like I woke up on the street
But isn't that the payback for being indiscreet
If I knew better, I'd climb up on my ego like a child.
If I knew better, I'd knock down the flag
on your shoulder that's Swaying
If I knew better-I wouldn't change a thing
So don't you talk so fast to me, slow I wanna know
One and a Half Counting on You
I don't mind lying if it stops the pain
There's no use denying, I've lost the train of thought
I had before I left, Now I'm alone
The place I left behind, had I known
I'm counting on you
I'm all around you
I'm counting on you to take me home
You sit back in your easy chair and tell me bout the
whole affair
You say I'm gonna be something some day
It sounds so easy, the way you please me
Well you say I'm on the right track
But I think that it's time that I get back home
Chorus
Bridge
Something in the wind ain't right
There's something on the faces in the streets at night
There is so much on my mind
Well you say it's here in front of me
But it's something I can't find no more
SOLO Bridge(repeat)
Chorus
Sweet Rain
I remember when every other day was bad
You were my brother, so tall was all you had.
Sireno was dead but we had you instead
Now I remember our precious petting zoo
Our delicate high school and all the things we said
we'd do
They all fall like, Sweet Rain
Wet my memory, Sweet Rain
Come on down on me
It wasn't hard to look ahead
You wanted to be me instead
I wanted to be you instead but
I fell and you fell back
What is wrong with me, well what is wrong with you,
Jack?
Everybody knew she was coming, Everybody knew she was
Sweet rain, wet my memory, sweet rain, fall down on me
The big screen got in between, what it was and what
we've seen
How have you been? What have you been? I think about
you
Now and again, I think about you every single day
Well, shit I'm thinking about you now
Sweet Rain, Wet my memory
Sweet Rain, Fall down on me
The Highway
Past the breakers, sliver by you never try you
On the tuffet that you never were afraid of
Anyone that was not you
In the corner, tried to warn her I, I, I
Caught in traffic in the middle of the night
In the middle of the hiway
The Highway
Got your hands in the dirt
Got your head in the grass
You're tryin' to hold on to some of your
Past the test now
You're runnin' outta breath no one behind you
On the subject of Religion decision devision
Collision, provision, cold hard television
Collective bargaining and talk radio radio
Your mother your brother your sister your lover
Your Father whom art in Heaven
Got to be home by eleven if you wanna be a good girl
You got your hands in the dirt
Got your head in the highway
Drops of Jupiter Shes On Fire
Well this is just between us but between us lets get
high
In pictures I have seen her and to see her is truly
fine
Shes on fire
Shes on fire
Flowers in her evening set I get the feeling she wont
forget
And theres times youd long to be her but to be her
is surely blinding
Shes on fire
Shes on fire
Shes on to me
And Im over me
Shes on fire
And if I could be inside her light
I would steal enough to make my way into the night
And if I could be inside her light I might just find
Id be alright
Well its not just a daydream if you decide to make it
your life
And this is not between us but between us lets keep
getting back to where
its from
Shes on fire
Shes on fire
Shes on to me
And Im over me
Shes on fire
Shes on to me
And Im over me
Shes over me
And Im on to her
Shes on fire
Shes on fire
Shes on fire
I Wish You Would
Sleepless nights and endless days
And all I do is promise to change my ways
Leave the lights on, you know Ill pretend youre on
youre way
You used to say that theres a time we all deserve to
lose our minds
So I lost my mind now Im ready to find my way
Back home
Today
To stay
The way you wished I would
And I swear
To stay
The way you wished I would
I dont know if Im gonna have to redesign my mind
But tonight I made a wish and I sure hope that it
comes true
Cause its been too long without you
Its been too long
Come home
Today
To stay
The way you wished I would
And I swear
To stay
The way I wish you would
And even if I left it all behind
Thered be reason to come back
And even though I left you far behind
I always thought that youd come here to find me
Come find me
I dont know if I can wait this long
To be what I used to be
And I dont think I can wait much longer
For the tide to come back to me
Come back to me
Back home
Today
To stay
The way I wish you would
And I swear
To stay
The way I wish you would
The way I wish you would
Drops of Jupiter
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey,
hey
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all
faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself
out there
Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's time to grow, hey, hey
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol'
Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so
he never did land
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the
light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for
yourself out there
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when
I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance
five-hour phone
conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the
light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way
Repeat 1st Chorus
Its About You
This aint about the things Ive done
Where Ive been or what I won
Stand on your corner a thousand time
Lose what I got keep what I find
Its about you
Its about you
This aint about the things you say
Or how you make me feel this way
Stand on your corner a thousand time
Lose what I got keep what I find
Its about you
Its about you
And when I get this feeling
Its hard for me to come back down
And when I get this feeling
Its hard for me to come back down
And I could be
That everything you need
And I know this could be
That free fall back to me
This aint about the things Ive done
Where Ive been or what I won
Stand on your corner a thousand time
Lose what I got keep what I find
Its about you
Its about you
Its about you
Its about you
And when I get this feeling
Its hard for me to come back down
And when I get this feeling
Its hard for me
Cause I could be
That everything you need
And I know this could be
That free fall back to me
But keeping you aint easy
With everyone that sees me
Telling me get back on the ground
It never could be easy
Instead of you just pleasing me
Youre keeping me down
And I know this could be
That freefall
Come on jump to me
Hopeless
I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change around me
Id tell it to your face
But you lost your face along the way
And Id say it on the phone
If I thought you were alone
Why do things have to change
But you dont need my pictures on your wall
You say you need no one
And you dont need my secret midnight call
I guess you need no one
Is anybody waiting at home for you
Cause its time that will tell if its heaven if its
hell or if its
Anybody waiting at home for you
Cause its time that will tell this tale
Youre in and out up and down
Wonder if youre lost or found
But I got my hands on you
Are you strong enough to tow the line
Are you gonna make me yours
Or do I make you mine
Im in and out Im up and down
Wonder if Im lost or found
But I need your hands on me now
But you dont need my pictures on your wall
You say you need no one
And you dont need my secret midnight call
I guess you need no one
Is anybody waiting at home for you
Cause its time that will tell if its heaven if its
hell or if its
Anybody waiting at home for you
Cause its time that will tell this tale
I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change
Respect
For reasons I dont know I treated you so cold
I wish I had those times again
Cause something that you said keeps ringing in my head
Someday youre gonna wanna come back and youre gonna
wanna treat me
fine
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little
I watched me push you down in dreams I had of you
And all I remember about those days is I would run
around thinking that
youd be alright
But you lost your light along the way
And oh you were right about the things Id say
Cause if I had it back again I know Id treat you kind
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody got to have somebody
Everybody got to have someone
And all I ever wanted from this play
Was someone to talk to when I get down
It seems you get the things you give along the way
Now all I need is one more chance to make you feel
like hanging round
Everybody needs a little
Everybody needs a little
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody
Everybody got to have someone
Let It Roll
Tried to write a letter
To tell you how I feel
But all I kept on writing
Was slipping on the tears from the day
When I was young and brave
Now all these hotel lobbies are filled with whats to
me
Lonely midnight drivers
Drifting out to sea
And all those late night lovers
Dont make things better to me
So let it roll into me
Let it roll into you
Let it roll into me
Let it roll back into when I had you
So Ill watch the snow come calling
And Ill celebrate the spring
Ill feel the falls keep falling
And when the summers come
I will pretend that I dont notice
That this is when I notice most of all
So let it roll into me
Let it roll into you
Let it roll into me
Let it roll back into when I had you
And all you ever wanted for me
Was the time to understand
And all I ever wanted for you
Was to see me shining for you
And I wish that I could be back in the day that I
could say
Let it roll
Let it roll into me
Let it roll
Let it roll into you
Let it roll back into when I had you
Something More
I just opened up my eyes
And let the world come climbing in
Its all better now, things are gonna work somehow
If I just sleep another hour
Tried to reach you at your moms
Hey baby why you trying to keep away for so long
I stopped feeling good, somehow I just knew I would
I guess Ill sleep another hour
Feels like Im wasting my time
Hanging on this same old line
Got to get you off of my mind
Theres nothing left for me to find
And all the more I want
All the more I need
All the while you want something more
All the more I want
All the more I need
All the while you want something more
Thought I found the words to say
Just to get you feeling fine over heels my way
But it dont matter how
I lost the word and nerve and now
Theres nothing more for me to say
Feels like Im wasting my time
Hanging on this same old line
Theres nothing left for me to find
And all the more I want
All the more I need
All the while you want something more
All the more I want
All the more I need
All the while you want something
Theres nothing left for me to say
Wanting what I need this way
And when Im feeling low I know
I need to stop
And someday you will see
All the more you want
All the more youll need me
All the while Ill be on to something more
And all the more you want
All the more youll need me
All the while I want something more
I want something more
I want something more than this
Whipping Boy
Since then I never feel helpless, recess, this mess if
you do
And I find that even time well spent gets bent if you
need it to
And we do
Well by now Ive showed you how much I believe in the
here and now and I
wish that you knew
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
Ill be your whipping boy
You spilled your purse onto my bed
Searching for something for your head
Since then you never come clean I mean
You wish you only could
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
Ill be your whipping boy
I can get up
And I find that even time well spent gets bent if you
need it to
And we do
And we do
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
Ill be your whipping boy
Getaway
If I could ride this slide into forever
What would I give to getaway
That pain that stayed
Seemed like forever
What would you give to getaway
I know this is how I could be over you
You know this is not another waste of time
All this holding on cant be wrong
Just come back to me and I am not alone
You had your man your fan but not forever
You should have let him
You should have let him getaway
But your pride made you ride on this slide by his side
to his lies
Seemed like forever
What would you give to getaway
I know this is how I could be over you
You know this is not another waste of time
All this holding on cant be wrong
Just come back to me so I am not alone
To getaway
To getaway
To getaway
To getaway
I know this is how I could be over you
You know this is not another waste of time
All this holding on cant be wrong
And I know this is how I could be over you
You know that I am not another waste of time
All this holding on cant be wrong
If you come back to me so I am not alone
To getaway
Mississippi
They call her Mississippi
But she dont flow to me
Spends her light on the Bayou
But she dont come to see
Shes the one that makes my dreams
They call her Mississippi
But she dont flow to me
The shape of her horizon
Makes the morning sun
When she puts her eyes on
Each and anyone
Shes the one that makes me fall
Midnight moon shines through it all
Shes the one that makes me fall
Midnight moon shines through it all
Shes the one that makes my dreams
They call her Mississippi
But she dont flow to me
They call her Mississippi
But she dont flow to me
