The Way We Are
1. Twinkle
2. I'm So Small
I'm so small
do you think I
matter at all
when I call your name out loud
can
you hear me in the crowd
when I look up into the
starry sky
I think my oh my oh my
I get dizzy
and weak and it makes me think
I have the life span
of a fly
(chorus)
can you see me
breathing
hear me
screaming
for you for you
I'm so
small
but if I was a movie star
my youth would
be sealed in a can on a reel
then I could be twelve
feet tall
that's why I wear my hair so big
some
people think it might be a wig
but it's all part of
my plot
to prove I'm not a dot
can you see me
breathing hear me
screaming
for you for
you
3. Shhh!
you had the prettiest blue-green
eyes I'd ever seen
and I got a kick out of the way
they looked at me
like I was a two-headed creature
from another planet
that thrilled and delighted you
but
you couldn't understand
it
(chorus)
don't tell my ears 'cause they're
not listening
don't tell my heart it doesn't know
what it's missing
don't tell my eyes I know they
won't believe
that you're not in love with me
we were inseparable you followed
me around
and I got used to you this new friend that
I found
I pictured us together I pictured us apart
and I knew from that moment that you were capable of
breaking my heart
don't tell my ears 'cause
they're not listening...
six months of being friends
was all that I could stand
so I mustered up the
courage to hold your hand
you were bedazzled
bewildered I guess it was just too soon
and when I
finally kissed you you walked out of the
room....sssh!
don't tell my ears 'cause
they're not listening....
I know you love me just a minute
I wouldn't want you if you didn't
I've been
patient and I've waited
come on come on just say it
you and me sitting in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
you're not in love with
me
4. The Pearl
oh look I found it oh I really found it how could
such a thing be happening to me
oh please don't drop
it I'd die if you lost it you see it means the world to
me
now everything we've ever wanted lies within our
reach
patiently anticipating now the world lies at
our feet
chorus:
it could be the pearl
it
could be our hope our dream our lives
it could be
the pearl
the end of all our pain and strife could
be the pearl
run keep on running oh I hear
them coming how could they try to take what is ours
please run faster oh they're right behind us how
much farther can we go
it possesses me controls me
it makes me run and it makes me kill
the very thing
that made me strong has taken all my will
it
could be the pearl...
I must take it and throw
it in the ocean far far away from me
we were happy
oh we were so happy
when things were the way they
used to be
it could be the pearl...
or
it could be a demon in disguise

5. Comfortable
you know how to hold my
hand
you know how to make me mad
you know
everything about me
we've been together longer
than
most of our friends have
but they don't know
that it's not always a party
I gotta tell you how I'm
feeling
in case you haven't noticed
the mystery is
gone
infatuation's wearing off I gotta tell you how
I'm feeling
I think that you'll agree that we've
become predictable
but I really don't mind being this
comfortable
sometimes I try to shake it
up
tickle the passion wake it up
it's time to
breathe a little fire
but you just put your arms
around me and I let go of all my anxiety
you know
you're my lazy boy recliner
I gotta tell you how I'm
feeling
I hope you don't take it wrong
you know
that I love you and I'm not giving up
6. Don't Let It Fade Away
don't let it fade away
be
strong enough to tell me goodbye
don't let it fade
away
just because you don't want to see me cry
if
it's over now i'll be ok
just don't let it fade
away
don't let it fade away...
you keep me dangling
from a
string you cannot severe
it's time to end all
indecision
curiosity is killing me
look me in the eye and tell me
you don't love me
put me out of my misery
your
silence is giving me too much hope
don't let it
fade away

7. The Way We Are
would I need ya if I got amnesia
would you be the one for me
if I lost my memory
and would I look at you the way that I used to
would I fall in love all over again
or would I
have to pretend
are we gonna stay the way we are
are we gonna break and fall apart
are we gonna
make it when our love is tested
are we gonna stay
the way we are
I don't wanna break and fall apart
are we gonna make it through the shark infested
water
hearts entrusted to each other
and I don't know what I'd do if
I found out you were untrue
would I find it in my
heart to forgive
would I be able to forget
will
I be be beautiful or will I just be a fool
can you
keep me fresh and young
what if I make you deaf and
dumb
are we gonna stay the way we are
are...
can we still have adventures
when we're old and wear dentures
will you kiss me on
the lips
do you think we'll dance with our plastic
hips
and when you look at me will you see the girl
you met when you were nineteen
will you see a lady
with a limber heart
swimming in the water with the
sharks
are we gonna stay the way we are
are
8. Radiate
I've got this feeling that I
can't contain
being with you
is like winning the
publisher's clearing house sweepstakes
like a snow
day and I get to sleep as late
as I want to you know
you turn me into goo
you radiate
warm fuzzy
feelings
if everyone knew someone like
you there wouldn't be any war
you glitter sparkle
twinkle shimmer like a shining star
now I don't want
to say anything mean
or hurt anybody's little heart
again
next time I'll hold my breath and count to
ten
I wanna radiate
warm fuzzy
feelings
you radiate
warm fuzzy feelings
I radiate to you
you radiate
to me
yeah we'll start a revolution
spread a
warm fuzzy disease
you make me feel so good
I
wanna wear dayglo
I'm feeling unicorns and rainbows
warm fuzzy feelings
warm fuzzy feelings
I've
got a warm fuzzy feeling reeling deep down in my
soul
9. Ugly Girl
When I saw you at the grocery
store
you were sharing a shopping cart with
her
and I couldn't turn and run away
I didn't know
what to say
you introduced us for the first
time
and I had to look her in the eye
but you
could not imagine my surprise
can't you see you're leaving me
for an ugly girl
does she talk about politics and
all the stuff that used to make me sick
does she
smoke cigars and stay up late oh she's so great
does
she tell you what you want to hear
and I bet that she
can grow a beard
I'd feel better thinking you were
queer
it's not fair I can't compare to an ugly
girl
ha ha ha the jokes on me
I feel jealous
and I feel mean
is she so nice that it makes up for
her face there's no way
do you have to keep your
eyes closed
do you have to keep the lights down low
oh I bet you wish you had a blindfold can't you see
you're leaving me for an ugly
girl
10. Sadder Day
you like to eat your grits with
butter salt and sugar
you drink your coffee instant
and black
I always loved the fact but thought that
it was so peculiar
how you carried everything you
owned in the back seat
of your 1983 canary yellow Z
you had a unique collection of fast food bags
and all the post-it notes with quotes stuck to your
dashboard
reminding you life's not so bad
(chorus)
sad sadder day
since I heard you went away
sad sadder day
when I can't see your face
what about the day you took me
to skatetown USA
it was raining and there wasn't
anywhere we could play
we skated backwards while we
held onto each other's hands
made up choreography to
KC and the sunshine band
you got tired you said you
couldn't sleep last night
you stayed up praying for
everybody you know's souls
and you got misty eyed
when you said you weren't afraid to die
but you were
scared of being alone
sad sadder day....
faster my heart started beating
I've got the funniest most awful feeling
you
were trying trying to tell me something
I didn't
want to know
sad sadder
day.

11. Rain All Day
we've got nothing but tomorrow
to keep us from today
and we walk around in circles
like everything's okay
it's just a phase you're in a daze
maybe a melancholy day
don't try to fight
what's wrong is right
it's just a melancholy day
(chorus)
rain all day and i'll stay all day with you
the look upon your face
tells me all i need to know
and words will not convey
what somebody can show
there is no place on the face of
the earth i'd rather be
nowhere
in time no boat on the rhine
no
place that i would rather be
rain all day and i'll stay all
day with you...
it's just a phase you're in a
daze
maybe a melancholy day
don't try to fight
what's wrong is right
it's just a melancholy day
rain all day and i'll stay all
day with you...
12. Devil's Food
he's got his finger on the
trigger
it's not a gun it's
something bigger
oh emotional
warfare has been declared on you
see how he manipulates
berates you and humiliates
he wants you to see what it feels like to be
him
(chorus)
oh that's not love pumping through his veins
you're like the sun shining on his
shade
he's a parasite and he's
trying to suck the life out of you
why are you taking up for him
no you can't save him from his
sin
oh he's pulling you down
he's gonna wrestle you into the ground
he'll make a mess out of you
he'll turn you into devil's food
get away while there's time your friends are
making bets on your life
oh that's not love pumping
through his veins...
you're devil's food
go go go go go go girl run run for
your life
oh that's not love pumping
through his veins...
he's a parasite and he's trying
to suck the life out of you
you're devil's food
I'm
just saying this cause I love you
13. Suppressed Emotions
tossing and turning all her
thoughts are burning she can't go to sleep
thinks she is dreaming although she
is scheming a secret to keep
years have flown by taking with them time she
never had for her own
now she
plays house while her husband stays out on the town
suppressed emotions
thoughts turning backwards she
sees a young man with a gleam in his eye
both of them laughing and jumping
as if they could reach to the sky
with love abounding her heartbeat is pounding a
message
regrets is all that she
gets if she opens her eyes
suppressed emotions
trying to hide feelings she keeps
inside
suppressed emotions
eyes may reveal feelings she tries
to conceal
no need to awaken her dreams
have all taken her where she longs to be
without a care but the wave of her
hair no responsibility
would
she have done anything differently if she knew what she
knows now
lost in delusions of
a love that she never found
suppressed
emotions
14. I Fall For
You
a sleight of hand with fingers
full of grace
work the magic
that you do
disappear without a
single trace
and once again I
fall for you
(chorus)
I fall for you
and when I
do
I can't seem to pick myself
up off the ground
I think I've come to the
conclusion
that it's all a
bunch of bull
love is an
optical illusion
and once again
I've played the fool
I fall for you...
last night I had a dream I was
your assistant it seems
I was
dressed in ostrich feathers
you
did that trick where you sawed me in half and then you
laughed and then you left
without putting me back
together
je tombe pour toi
je tombe pour toi
je tombe pour toi
e
quand c'est fait je nepeaux plu me relever du
sol
15. That's
All I Know
Daddy's crawling around on his
knees and hands
but all he finds is popcorn and
rubber bands
And he says to me you had it last
you channel surfing maniac
it didn't just sprout
legs and run out of the room
So I said go ahead
interrogate me
if you must incarcerate me
But I
already told you what I know
And that's all I know
So
please don't ask me anymore that's all I know
Now he's combing through every
ounce of trash
he thinks that I threw it out with
his corned beef hash
And he says why can't you keep
up with anything
you know you'd lose your head if it
wasn't so big
And I say go ahead now scrutinize me
then why don't you hypnotize me
You'll see I'm
telling you the truth
And that's all I know
So
please don't ask me anymore that's all I know
Well I love you mom and I love
you daddy
and I sure am glad that you had me
but
is it worth it?
Over a stupid remote control?
That's all I know
The rest
will fall in place I'm sure that's all I know
So
please don't ask me anymore that's all I know
