BARTENDER
I'll give you a lapdance, a super trance, baby,
I'll find romance that's true
or I could just listen and not give you my opinion, yeah,
I'd be a bartender for you
I could not tell you what I think and just pour you a strong drink, yeah,
get under that sink with you
fixin' up your drain, take away your pain, baby,
I'd be a free plumber for you
anything to make you happy again
anything to make you see I'm your friend
anything to take away your blues
I'd be a bartender for you
Don't think about it twice, and I won't give you no advice, yeah,
but I know what's best for you
you hate it when I'm right but I'll try with all my might, yeah,
to keep it to myself
anything to make you happy again
anything to make you see I'm your friend
anything to take away your blues
I'd be a bartender for you
perhaps that's all we need is someone just to pour us a drink
and spend the night or two
cookin' up breakfast and hearin' what they love about us, well now,
I could do that for you
anything to make you happy again
anything to make you see I'm your friend
anything to take away your blues
I'd be a bartender for you
c'mon, honey, I'll just sit right over here and I'll just listen
yeah, I won't give my opinion, yeah, well, maybe just a little bit
but I'll just listen
I'll just listen
I'll just listen
just listen
Beautiful Love
I don’t believe in such a thing called love
he said to me, when I was lying in his bed
he said, “now don’t you go thinking that I will be your man
cause you haven’t met someone as cruel as I am”
cruel love don’t tempt me again
I know what it’s like to leave
cruel love don’t act like my friend
I know what it’s like to bleed
I have been crying for days since I left
I opened up, though I knew he’d forget
the time that we shared melts away with my miles
I just wish I could loose the sight of his smile
cruel love don’t tempt me again
I know what it’s like to leave
cruel love don’t act like my friend
I know what it’s like to bleed
he turned off his phone
I turned off my hope
tried to shrug it off, take on a new love
but my body’s in bondage for he took out his claim
and just to see him again, I would do it all the same
cruel love don’t tempt me again
I know what it’s like to leave
cruel love don’t act like my friend
I know what it’s like to bleed
I try to believe in such a thing called Love
I said to Him when I’m down on my knees
He said, “now don’t you go thinking that you are alone
cause right here with me, child, you’ll always have your home”
beautiful Love come and get me again
beautiful Love could you please be my friend
we both know what it’s like to bleed
Find your Heart
We’re driving through Texas, and you don’t know where your heart is
misery follows us and I’ll take a new direction
heading South, looking for some comfort
just find me a man that I don’t need to understand
for the word, for the word
I better go inside
for the word for the word
could you take me on my outside
we’re driving through Texas, and you don’t know where your heart is
I’m not going to be lonely
So I’m looking for levity in unfamiliar places
no language not talking
or traces of the faithless
they take me as I am, they don’t need to understand
‘cause complexity and silence and sex is all the same
for the word, for the word
I better go inside
for the word for the word
could you take me on my outside
we’re driving through Texas, and you don’t know where your heart is
I’m not going to be lonely
I long to see your mama’s face when I walk through the door
looking at me like I’m her daughter, her daughter to be
but you’d rather drown in your own indecision
well, that’s not ecstasy to me
you’ll never be my ecstasy
So I head out for a little grace and comfort
find another way to get me through the night
I save my heart for no one now
and I pray for a tougher skin
and a warm place to lye within
for the word, for the word
I better go inside
for the word for the word
could you take me on my outside
you’re moving to Mars and I know it is impossible
I’m not going to be lonely
Hope you find your heart
Jump (for Tosca)
You asked me to write you a song
on a day I wish had never come
‘cause I might have to make a decision
it’s one I don’t think I can make
and you said, “just be heartless and make up your mind”
sometimes you cannot worry what’s out on the other side
and you might have to jump
you might have to jump
and think about it later
you walk around and cry
I can’t bear to see you go down
so I’m out drinking to take the edge off
you’re home and there’s no sound
and I think that you are really my only true love
cast out of heaven ‘cause you loved me too much
and I know I will have to let you go
I know you will jump
you love and love, love and love but it may not be enough
you come back to the apartment, it’s so cold
lights are on, and you’re still silent
you lead me right to the bathtub, lay down, and ask me to turn the water on
and I think that I’ll do anything to make you feel better
lifetimes and lessons are all that separate us
well I might leave my life
I might let you starve
‘cause somehow it’s a bit more appealing than playing God
I’ve traveled for years with you
now I’m out there on my own
checking into another hotel room
I lye in the bath and turn the water on
I know you will jump
I know you have to jump
and we’ll think about it later
