1. _ Fair Weather
For lee i'm cement, but behind the buttons on my blouse
My heart is bent between fair weather and a woman who may never be.
A woman who would be me.
Or the smell of women with a recipe.
All those voices stirring jealousy into the sounds cooking in me.
Well, i lost five seconds to the powers that be.
And then a man, some man defined chronologically.
Wet in my mind, dripping into the rest of me.
For your desire distorts, disguises what comes naturally.
Oh, and soft smells from apartment two and some farm outside.
My body brings its smells to what it's tried.
And some hair is healthy, but all hair is dead.
And i think that's what it's like in my head.
For lee i'm cement, but behind the buttons on my blouse
My heart is bent between fair weather and a woman who may never be.

2. _ Cold And Mean
You are listening to the phone ring
Like a church bell sounding out the hour.
And the ringing cuts the silence
Like a knife leaving little pieces left of your life.
You are watching the night shadows grow tall s
Swallowing you in terror like the foot on the wall.
Shake me down to the soil of a dream.
Take me whole and take me clean.
Take me from this reality cold and mean.
Cold and mean.
I can't answer i can't speak to anyone
Not until i witness the next rising of the sun.
It's this darkness it's like a lead weight in my shoe.
I couldn't rise to answer even if i wanted to.
Shake me down to the soil of a dream.
Take me whole and take me clean.
Take me from this reality cold and mean.
Shake me down to the soil of a dream.
Take me whole and take me clean.
Take me from this reality cold and mean.
Shake me down to the soil of a dream.
Take me whole and take me clean.
Take me from this reality cold and mean.
Cold and mean.

3. _ Silver Ingrid
I always escape where i have been.
I leave you looking for my face,
Wondering what it was you've seen
Down the long dark hallway in flight heading back from which i came.
I am a creature of the night and silver ingrid is my name.
Silver ingrid be my teacher, show me laughter laced with love.
Tell my theories of the wind song on the wings of a dove.
Silver ingrid, be my teacher, show me laughter laced with love.
Tell me theories of the wind song on the wings of a dove.

4. _ Hide & Seek (is The Zygote Song!!)
Me and the other kids from the neighborhood
We played out on the street all summer long
Rule was, we had to go home at night when the street lights came on.
We were oblivious to the rest of the world
And we'd hold up the cars in the street
And we'd always play boys against girls, and both sides would cheat.
Strange men would stop their cars at the curb
And say, "hey, sweetheart, come here."
I'd go up to the window and they'd have their dick out in their hand
And a sick little sneer.
I'd say, "here we go again.
Yeah, ok, this time you win."
And i'd feel dirty, i'd feel ashamed
But i wouldn't let it stop my game.
We would play hide and go seek
And territory would be the whole block
Sometimes the older boys, when they'd find you
They wouldn't want to tag you, they'd just wanna "talk."
They'd say "what would you do for a quarter?
Come on, we don't have much time."
Then i'd think for a minute and say,"ok, give me the quarter first..fine."
This time you win
Here we go again
And i would feel dirty and i'd feel ashamed
But i wouldn't let it stop my game.
I remember my first trip alone on the greyhound bus
A man put his hands on me as soon as night fell
I remember when i was leaving, how excited i was
I remember when i arrived, i didn't feel so well.
I remember a teacher in school that got me so sick, so scared
That i went into the bathroom and threw up in my hair
And i could go on and on, it just gets worse
And i should probably stop.
Girl, next time he wants to know what your problem is
Girl, next time he wants to know where the anger comes from
Just tell him this time the problem's his
Tell him the anger just comes
It just comes.

5. _ Asked You First
Things can't get much weirder
This can't get much worse
Don't know why you wouldn't kiss me
But it's a good thing i asked you first.
You were a big strapping boy with a boner.
And i felt it in your goodbye
You gave me an evening i'll never forget
No matter how hard i try.
Yeah you were just mister flirtatious
All night just workin' that ass
Well you know it's uncool to bring it to school
If you don't want to share with the class
I am just mrs. embarresed
I feel like a dirty old man
I've got my eye on a guy
That just moved out of mom's house
With his pretty head stuck in the sand
You've earned yourself a place in my memory
By being the one who said no
Where are my fucking care keys
I think i'll just go
Surprise surprise now you miss me
Now that i'm not in your face
Surprise surprise now you're calling me
Now that you feel safe
Do you think that i could be your prom date
You could do us a stiff little dance
Except that this isn't high school, baby
And you had your chance
You had your chance
You've earned yourself a place in my memory
By being the one who said no
Now where are my fucking car keys i think i should go
Hey look! car keys... bye!] things can't get much weirder
This can't get much worse
Don't know why you wouldn't kiss me
But it's a good thing i asked you first.
You were a big strapping boy with a boner.
And i felt it in your goodbye
You're leaving i'll never forget
No matter how hard i try
No matter how hard i try

6. _ Aids
Everywhere she looks
She looks through the corner of her eye
Everytime she left
She never turned to say goodbye
Swaying in the corner of the ballroom
Alone by the music
She looked like a spiderweb
Fresh from the war
He complements her bedroom decor
She crawled in there like water
She drowned in there on the floor
She left him gasping for air
And crying for more.
And the morning sun was embarrassed to find them
Lying together
Neither could remember the other's name
He stepped out of her mind
And into the hall
And they never saw each other again.
Whoaa...
And someone gave her a manual of love in the world today
And that page is not pulpy because there is no proper way
It's so easy for those with the unclenching eye
To find some unfulfilled human being to fry
She is looking for the kisses that she never got at home
Her lips are puckered and she is walking alone
And if she ends up with some dirty hot disease
It's a small price she pays for the need to be pleased.
And there are too few who open both eyes
We sit back in our easy chairs and try to sympathize
But whether from the point of a needle
Or the edge of her bed
Our heroine like too many others now is dead
And lisa is lucky, she ended up with a baby boy
She's 16 years old, doesn't know her body's not a toy
Joel is hungry, he is doing the town
Andrea is on the rebound.
Walk to the corner and run from what you find
We have to abort our cannibalistic state of mind.
Everywhere she looked
She looked through the corner of her eye
And everytime she left she never turned to say goodbye
Swaying in the corner of the ballroom
Alone by the music
She looked like a spiderweb.
Fresh from the war
He complements her bedroom decor
She didn't know this time she was the victim
He had nothing to lose anymore...

7. _ Waiting For Susan
Susan is a connotation
At less than arms length
She has the strength of an opinion
Her promises are like the night overcast
Like the stars she doesn't show
And when she does, she doesn't last
You can see her goodness
Like her breath on a window pane
And then she turns her head
And it is gone again
And while i'm left waiting
She'll wax and she'll wane
And maybe she'll come here again
And susan was at the other end of the line
And she received me just in time
And i lean to her like a preference of mine
Like a reference to friendship
She defined my time
Now i'm waiting for susan
I don't know where i am in line
I'm waiting for susan
I wonder where i am in line

8. _ When Doves Cry
Dig if you will the picture
Of you and i engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?
Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (so cold)
Maybe i'm just too demanding
Maybe i'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase you
Even doves have pride
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (world so cold)
Maybe i'm just too demanding
Maybe i'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (a world that's so cold)
Maybe i'm just too demanding (maybe, maybe i'm like my father)
Maybe i'm just like my father too bold (ya know he's too bold)
Maybe you're just like my mother (maybe you're just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (she's never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other (why do we scream, why)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)

9. _ Subway
The subway car smells like an animal's cage
And don't you feel like the captain riding in a rage
Oh the city's sweet as cider...sours with age
The toss between fear and freedom
Looking for a familiar sign
And the man sitting next to you says "hey baby, can you spare a dime?"
Oh the city's sweet as cider... sours in time
You turn to see his pants from 1965 with the holes in the pockets
And the fly open wide
And just when he starts to make you nervous, suddenly he starts to cry
Oh the city's sweet as cider...passes some people by
And on the other side of the darkness
Where the tunnel closes inside
You can only come out even in this town
But girl, you have come out alright
Oh the city's sweet as cider...isn't sweet at night
No the city's sweet as cider...isn't sweet at night

10. _ Wishin' And Hopin'
Originally by dusty springfield
Covered by ani difranco in "my best friend's wedding" soundtrack
Wishin', and hopin', and thinkin', and prayin',
Planning and dreamin' each night of his charms.
That won't get you into his arms
So if your're looking for love you can share
All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him, and love him,
And show him that you care.
Show him that you care, just for him.
Do the things that he likes to do.
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause,
You won't get him, thinkin' and a prayin',
Wishin' and hopin'.
'cause wishin', and hopin', and thinkin', and prayin',
Planning and dreamin' his kisses will start.
That won't get you into his heart!
So if you're thinking how great true love is
All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him, and squeeze him, and love him.
Yeah, just do it!
And after you do, you will be his.
You gotta show him that you care just for him.
Do the things that he likes to do.
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause,
You won't get him, thinkin' and a prayin',
Wishin' and a hopin'.
'cause wishin', and hopin', and thinkin', and prayin',
Planning and dreamin' his kisses will start.
That won't get you into his heart!
So if you're thinking how great true love is!
All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him, and squeeze him, and love him.
Yeah, just do it!
And after you do, you will be his.
You will be his.
You will be his!

11. _ Handsome Musician
He was a handsome musician
But he had an ugly scar
You could not see it on him
But you could hear it when he played guitar
Naked and nervous silence
Therefore conversation to abuse
Stood between us like a parent
Like a game we had to lose
He kept an eye on the door
And his back to the wall
His walk told of the time it takes for a man to fall
And i welcomed him into my closet
To meet the skeletons living there
In my twilight vacancy
I didn't care
We knew each other namelessly
As the rhythm came of age
He knew me like a blue note
And the lights went down on stage
He was a handsome musician
But he had an ugly scar
You could not see it on him
But you could hear it when he played guitar
I welcomed him into my closet
To meet the skeletons living there
In my twilight vacancy
I didn't care
He was a handsome musician
But he had an ugly scar
You could not see it on him
But you could hear it when he played guitar

12. _ Find A Fire
I am wading through the waters wanting you.
I don't dare look cause i'll see right through.
I tried to warm myself to sleep, but now i'm wading way too deep.
I can't scream my sirens any higher, cause i'm bound to find a fire.
I can smell your closeness though you hide in your tower
The peasant boy playing with the princess of power.
And out of the struggle of your isolation, comes a redemption of innocence by association.
I can't scream my sirens any higher, cause i'm bound to find a fire.
So i will play your game, cause it's my game too.
A stranger's arithmetic where one and one don't make two.
I can sense a softness there, can you imagine the lifelessness that we could share.
I can't scream my sirens any higher, cause i'm bound to find a fire.

13. _ One Times One Times One
Do you ever wonder when the damage will be done?
Do you ever feel like one times one times one?
Do your eyes scrape the pavement as you shuffle from the sun?
Does your breath walk behind you when the dialog is done?
Are you somewhat uninhibited, are you somehow unfree, are you like me?
Are you a pile of loose brown leaves waiting to be blown, ready to disown?
Are you grounded by the comforts of home?
Are you covered in a strangling snow?
Are you somewhat uninhibited, are you somehow unfree, are you like me?

14. _ The Boys In Blue
I shut my mouth
Cause they are the law
And i am alone
Ohhh, the boys in blue
Have decided i need a good talking to
Though i've done nothing wrong
He is less than polite
I guess i'm not his type
And while he has his fun
The whole time he has his hand on his gun
My friends, they say
You'll have to grow your hair
And watch what you wear
If you want them, to go away
Otherwise, stay out of sight
And be thankful that you are white
I shut my mouth
Cause they are the law
And i am alone
Ohhhh, the boys in blue
Have decided i need a good talking to

15. _ To Be Free
On the underside of your salutation
I can hear you turning inward
Hello is such a thin word
You're going to have to hide doubletime from me
Cuz i read our poetry, and i can see when it doesn't rhyme
You said you either wanted me home
Or you wanted to be alone[?]
Or you wanted to be alone
And i felt you decide
I have heard all the words you hold inside
We were knitted like yarn
In the morning you were the snooze button on my alarm
And now goodnight is just the gesture of an arm
Well i think i understand
But i don't think i agree
Sometimes i want to amend
And sometimes i just want to be free
If we can try forgiving
If we can try to go on living
Like some kind of amateur team
Anyone can see that love
Is waiting u s more than m e
That's for me
Please

16. _ No Reason To Come Home
Girl, what are you gonna do with this time?
You are on your own with a question on your mind.
Ain't it a funny thing to accept that you are the worst company that you have ever kept?
What are you gonna do?
You are living all alone, there's no place to go out to and no reason to come home.
And oh, it's so ironic, you the girl with all the friends
Just sitting in such solitude trying desperately to mend.
And suddenly the four walls start closing in around.
The daily defenses are all falling down.
What are you gonna do?
You are living all alone, there's no place to go out to and no reason to come home.
And you just can't seem to follow through with anything that you start to do.
You leave the television talking to the empty air.
You leave your plate half full and you comb half your hair.
What are you gonna do?
You are living all alone, there's no place to go out to and there's no reason to come home.

17. _ How Long Can It Last
Two years ago
Before you felt so familiar
Before i could remember your last name
I remember now
How our bright spring green deepened
With the years the seasons changed
And we were lush as the underside of august
The streets looked like water
They swelled and they shimmered
And they stretch like the sea
And dressed in my best shining skin
And my squiny eyes
I put the miles behind me
And it took us so long to get here
You gotta write between lines
You gotta read between the years
And fleetingly we see ourselves pass
Driving a good thing
And wondering how long can it last
How long can it last
How long can it last
How long can it last
And there was much to forgive
And there was much to forget
It seems we both stood by
While the record was set
And now when i look at you
And when you look at me
It's a much different view
We are both decked out in our history
And it took us so long to get here
You gotta write between the lines
And read between the years
And feetingly we see ourselves pass
Driving a good thing
And wondering, how long can it lost
How long can it last etc.

18. _ One More Night
I come to your town
Like thirsty lips to a cup
I come to your town
And i wanna call you up
I don't know how you feel
But i hope you feel the same
I've broken every speed limit in your name
Sometimes i just wanna bury my head in a hole
Tell me do you have the kind of touch that can console
I wanna hold my hands over my eyes during the scary scenes
Will you stay with me at night and stand guard over my dreams
Will you stand guard over my dreams
You feel like you're out on a long limb
Like you've risked it all
But i'll go out there with you
And when the bough breaks
The cradle will just fall
I'd rather go down knowing what it was like
Than to keep myself company
One more night
One more night
And i've got something new
Something i didn't have before
You were a big dark room
A room without a door
If you will shelter me
I will fill your vacancy
We don't even need the walls, the ceiling, or the floor
And i've got something for you too
Something you probably don't need
You can buy it for the pictures, baby
Find out its a real good read
I just hope you still want it
Cause i'm bringing it to you
I'm gonna come to your town
I'm gonna call you up
Then i don't know what i'm gonna do
You feel like you're out on a long limb
Like you've risked it all
And if the bough breaks
The cradle will just fall
I'd rather go down knowing what it was like
Than to keep myself company
One more night
One more night
I come to your town
Like thirsty lips to a cup
I come to your town
And i'm gonna call you up
I don't know how you feel
But i hope you feel the same
I've broken every speed limit in your name
And sometimes i just wanna bury my head in a hole
Tell me do you have the kind of touch that can console
I wanna hold my hands over my eyes during the scary scenes
Tell me will you stay with me at night and stand guard over my dreams
Will you stand guard over my dreams
Will you stand guard over my dreams....

19. _ North Main Street
The warmth of north main street
Shows me how i took myself through
Illogical landscapes with you
Scribbling on napkins in foreign ports
All sorts of sidewalks i don't traverse anymore
All kinds of people i don't write into the score
Well i see you drive your car past my house
You're so far from admitting i've emerged
From under your deep weather
You may never hear the future i have heard
Oh the sound rebounds off the highest plateau
Of the people i will love
And the things i will know
If i go
The utility of lipstick
Escapes to a styrofoam cup
The coffee gone, the conversation strong
Oh though leaving's never easy
Sentiments like shadows grow long
Your tears collect outside my bedroom window
Like the winter's last little snow
And i am still the worst company that i have ever kept
I just didn't want you to witness my weakness as i wept
And i still define myself by the places that i've been
I just didn't want you to see me traveling inbetween
It seems to me i'm not doing anything new
I'm just not doing what i used to
The warmth of north main street
Shows me how i took myself through
Illogical landscapes with you
Scribbling on napkins in foreign ports
All sorts of sidewalks i don't traverse anymore
All kinds of people i know right into the score
Well i see you drive your car past my house
You're so far from admitting i've emerged
From under your deep weather
You may never hear the future i have heard
Oh the sound rebounds off the highest plateau
Of the people i will love
And the things i will know
If i go
