This Way

Met her on a friday afternoon
In a neon dayglo pink
Chiffon satin room
She never looked back
She always looked good
Dressed in black
And she says oh
Do you want to play?

She lived beneath the
Disco discount store
With pictures of Randy Newman
Scattered all across the floor
I said "This place
Looks sort of desolate"
She said
"Are you only half alive?
Or have you simply always
Been this inarticulate?"

Oh
Do you want to play?

Don't think too hard
Don't think too fast
Don't ever try and say
What you can't take back
Don't try and comprehend
What you can't understand
Beneath the disco daylight
Neon crystal chandeleir
Pink champagne deity
I said "Take it back
Take it back
Take it back"

Oh
Do you want to play?

Oh
Do you want to play?

A lonely street lamp
I'm out on the street walking home
A small pale blur
Leaving trails like a snail I move so slow
Time can bruise*violent indigo
Rush home to your arms
You soothe my weary soul

Wrong or right be mine tonight
Harsh world be damned we'll make a stand
Love can bind but mine is blind
Others stray, but I won't walk away
Walk away

The clubs are full
Of couples resisting being one
They wear their youth
Like badges that tarnish all too soon
But we'll be a team
Our two will be one
Love will be our fortress
When all else comes undone

Wrong or right be mine tonight
Harsh world be damned
We'll make a stand
Love can bind but mine is blind
Others stray, but I won't walk away
Walk away

Sometimes the world don't make sense
Small children filled with violence
Light or night
Shine through the night

Wrong or right be mine tonight
Harsh world be damned
We'll make a stand
Love can bind but mine is blind
Others stray, but I won't walk away
Walk away

I won't walk away
[repeated till fade out]

Went walking underneath the shadows
Where dark and sweet secrets lay
When night tonight falls gently down
Hearts helplessly fall to the ground
Underneath a velvet sky
Only words can lie

I wanna tell you everything
I wanna make your toes curl
You be my only boy
And I'll be your only girl
There's not much I can say
You're in Cleveland today
You're in Cleveland today

Stewardesses like Cosmo magazine
Vogue makes me nervous I feel so plain
I could the world fearlessly
If you would face it here with me
Just our four hands and four eyes
Traffic cops would compromise

I wanna tell you everything
I wanna make your toes curl
You be my only boy
And I'll be your only girl
There's not much I can say
You're in Cleveland today
You're in Cleveland today

[bridge]
Daffodils and roulette wheels and rusty automobiles
Somewhere our things share the same window sill
Somewhere our hearts exist independent of time
Somewhere we are whole
One body
One body and one mind

From the air things look so ridiculous
Our fears so small, our fights so vain
I wanna pilot a plane with you
So all our problems look small, too
It's only an inch from me to you
Depending on what map you use

I wanna tell you everything
I wanna make your toes curl
You be my only boy
And I'll be your only girl
There's not much I can say
Cuz you're in Cleveland today
Oh, you're in Cleveland today
You're in Cleveland today

Love be still
love be sweet
dont you dare
change a thing
I want to photograph you with my mind
To feel how I feel now all the time

[CHORUS]
Say that you'll stay
Forever this way
Forever and forever
That we'll never have to change
Dont move
Dont breathe
Dont change
Dont leave
And promise me
Say you'll stay
We'll stay
This way

I get afraid
Dont think ahead
Lets just stay
This way in bed
Feels so good inside your arms
Home is everywhere you are

[CHORUS]

Dont move
Dont breathe
Dont change
Dont leave
Promise me
We'll alwayz be
This kind, this sweet
This good to me
Promise me
We'll alwayz be

[CHORUS]

They say that Jesus loves you
What about me?
They say that money breaks you
I still wanna see
They say you're only half alive
Till you give extra whitening a try

Well i wanna seee, I wanna see
What can you do for me?

Showing ta-tas on the TV is OK
I wanna be OK,too
Having my pictue in a magazine makes me special
How special are you?
They say if i donate, even I
Can buy a lot in heaven before i die

Well I wanna see, I wanna see
What can u do for me?

I want someone else to pack my lunch
Gonna get get someone else to pull the punch
Pay a psychic for romance
Gonna pay a priest for a...
Will u give me a second chance
Will u give me a secong chance

They say abortion will send u straight to a firey hell
That is if the fanatics don't beat satin to the kill
It's not what i can do for anybody
It's what there body can do for me

Well I wanna see, I wanna see
What can u do for me?

They say that Jesus loves u
What about me?

Oh, who gives a...?

Don't think too hard, don't think too fast
Don't ever give away what you can't take back
Don't try and understand what you can't comprehend
Underneath the disco neon daylight chandelier
Disco deity of the chivalry
I said "take it back
Take it back
Take it back"

I saw you standing there
Barbed wire in your pocket (Someone's brain popped as)
You were combing barbed wire through your hair
You thought I didn't notice
The skin on your teeth had a tear
To make me notice you started to shout
Then you and all your midgets (Then you and your munchkins)
Started flapping your tiny arms all about
They said you were the wise man
When did they teach wise men to pout?
I tried to forget you
But you tied bells to your name
???
??? spread in your face

I tried to be unlovable (I'm trying to be unlovable)
Why couldn't you do the same?

What's the matter?
Did your love need a home?
Alright then
Love me just leave me alone
(Love me just leave me alone)

(You thought all the curiosity...)
Your mother was a wolf bite
Your daddy was a cigarette
Your brother was a rose bud
Cross breath like a car wreck
Your sister was a stockbroker
But you - you ain't nothing but a turtleneck
You were standing there hypnotized
In the middle of the street
You had iron butterflies as kisses
You had gold dust in your teeth
You use one eye as a hostage
The other eye to stab your own meat
But your mind is a circle
But it clings to straight lines
Your arms are like corset strings
They only know how to find
Linens are adorable
Why don't you try it sometime

What's the matter
Did your love need a home?
Alright then
Love me just leave me alone

It's not your little boy's mind
It's not your little boy's mind
It's those big boy hands when I'm no longer there

Well, I'm trying to be unlovable
Why couldn't you do the same?

What's the matter?
Did your love need a home?
Alright then
Love me just leave me alone

What's the matter?
Did your love need a home?
Alright then
Love me just leave me alone
Love me just leave me alone
Love me just leave me alone

Night with its shattered teeth
Attempts to speak
My pen is present but
Courage left via the sink
And I'm sorry
I snuck up on you
From behind
I'm sorry not all
My love letters did rhyme
And I'm sorry that
Jesus died for my sins
And I swear to God
It won't happen again
And I'm sorry
If it was my swerve that
Tempted you to sway
Oh well
Sometimes it be that way
And Romeo was
A very nice man
He said
"Jewel, I don't think
You quite understand"
And I'm sorry if you had
To explain it like this
I'm sorry I was a point
You were destined to miss
And I'm sorry
I spoke to you irreverently
Down in the hollow
By the old olive tree
And I'm sorry
If my heart breaking
Ruined your day
Oh well
Sometimes It be that way

I said
"Oh well, I got nothing
Left to sell
This love was a bell that
Rang unheard in the air
I was bound to find out
That you didn't care
Oh well
Sometimes it be that way

And Aphrodite with
Her neon lamp
Kissed Neptune
They put her face
On a stamp
And I'm sorry
I used it to mail
A letter to you
I'm sorry I'm glue and
The rest bounces off of you
And I'm sorry not even
This jet's metal wings
Could get across
These simple things
And I'm sorry
If I ever sang
Your name in vain
Oh well
Sometimes it be that way

And Goldilocks
Well she knew three bears
They all ate oatmeal
And tiptoed upstairs
And I'm sorry
I never got to
Find you like this
Sleeping like a baby
And swaddled in bliss
And I'm sorry for
All the times
I forgot to imply something
In between the lines
And I'm sorry
If my heart breaking
Ruined your day
Oh well
Sometimes it be that way

I said
"Oh well, I got nothing
Left to sell
This love was a bell that
Rang unheard in the air
I was bound to find out
That you didn't care
Oh well
Sometimes it be that way

And shadow's long fingers
They dance on the wall
Electricity chases
Its tail in the hall
And I'm sorry
If my arms to you
Were just empty rooms
I'm sorry
I never could comfort you
And I'm sorry
St. Petersburg is
A miserable town
And I'm sorry
If I am bringing you down
And I'm sorry
If I caused you pain
Oh well
Sometimes it be that way

And flame licks the air
With its silver tongue
Night has many hands
But I have just one
And I'm sorry
I walked in on you
Unexpectedly
I'm sorry
I never served you
Camomile tea
And I'm sorry
I didn't always have a match
That could start
A fire big enough
For your heart to catch
And I'm sorry
If it was my swerve that
Tempted you to sway
Oh well
Sometimes it be that way
