Spiderwebs

You think that we connect
That the chemistry's correct
Your words walk right through my ears
Presuming I like what I hear
And now I'm stuck in the
The web you're spinning
You've got me for you prey…

(Yeah) Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
A likely story, but (Yeah) leave a message
And I'll call you back

You're intruding on what's mine
And you're taking up my time
Don't have the courage inside me
To tell you please let me be
Communication, a telephonic invasion
I'm planning my escape...

(Yeah) Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message 
And I'll call you back
A likely story, but (Yeah) leave a message
And I'll call you back

And it's all your fault
I screen my phone calls
No matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls

Now it's gone to deep (Now, it's gone too deep)
You wake me in my sleep (Wake me in my sleep)
My dreams become nightmares (Dreams become nightmares)
'Cause you're ringing in my ears

(Yeah) Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
A likely story, but (Yeah) leave a message
And I'll call you back

And it's all your fault
I screen my phone calls
No matter-matter-matter-matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls

Oooh, the spiderwebs
Leave a message and I'll call you back
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So, leave a message and I'll call you back

It's all your fault, I screen my phone calls
No matter-matter-matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls
It's all your fault, it's all your fault
No matter who calls, no matter who calls

I'm walking into spiderwebs so,
Leave a message and I'll call you back
I'm walking into spiderwebs so,
Leave a message and I'll call you back

Excuse Me Mr.

I'm like a beggar with no luck
I'm holding sings up
On your street corner stops
Like most you try not to see me
You stare straight ahead
Ignore the responsibility

Excuse me...(excuse me Mr.)
I've been waiting in line
And I'd like to buy some of your time 
I'm very anxious, eager, willing 
What's your billing? 

So please excuse me Mr. 
You've got things all wrong 
You make it feel like a crime 
So don't confuse me Mr.
I've known you too long 
All I need is a little of your time 

For most love comes for free 
They don't pay the high cost 
Of mental custody 
I'll pay bail for a guarantee 
Make space for me in the time yet to be 

Excuse me...(excuse me Mr.)
I've been waiting in line 
And I'd like to buy 
Some of your time 
I've been saving up my life 
What's your price? 

So please excuse me Mr. 
You've got things all wrong 
You make it feel like a crime 
So don't confuse me Mr.
I've known you too long 
All I need is a little of your time

What should I do 
I'm about to crack 
And there's a force 
That comes over me 
It's almost as if 
I'm tied to the tracks 
And I'm waiting for him 
To rescue me 
The funny thing is 
He's not going to come 
He's not going to find me 
This is a matter of fact 
The desire you lack 
This is the way I guess it has to be... 

A little of your time 
I need a little of your time 
Please, a little of your time 

So please excuse me Mr. 
You've got things all wrong 
You make it feel like a crime 
So don't confuse me Mr.
I've known you too long 
All I need is a little of your time

I'm in line to buy time 
I'm in line to buy time

Just A Girl

Take this pink ribbon off my eyes 
I'm exposed 
And it's no big surprise 
Don't you think I know 
Exactly where I stand 
This world is forcing me 
To hold your hand 

'Cause I'm just a girl, little ol’ me 
Don't let me out of your sight 
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite 
So don't let me have any rights 
Oh...I've had it up to here! 

The moment that I step outside 
So many reasons 
For me to run and hide 
I can't do the little things I hold so dear 
'Cause it's all those little things 
That I fear 

'Cause I'm just a girl I'd rather not be 
'Cause they won't let me drive 
Late at night
I'm just a girl, 
Guess I'm some kind of freak 
'Cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes 
I'm just a girl, 
Take a good look at me 
Just your typical prototype 
Oh...I've had it up to here! 

Oh...am I making myself clear? 

I'm just a girl 
I'm just a girl in the world... 
That's all that you'll let me be! 

I'm just a girl, living in captivity 
Your rule of thumb 
Makes me worry some 
I'm just a girl, what's my destiny? 
What I've succumbed to is making me numb 
I'm just a girl, my apologies 
What I've become is so burdensome
I'm just a girl, lucky me 
Twiddle-dum there's no comparison 

Oh...I've had it up to! 
Oh...I've had it up to! 
Oh...I've had it up to here!

Happy Now?

You had the best 
But you gave her up 
'Cause dependency might interrupt 
Idealistic will so hard to please 
Put your indecisive mind at ease 
You broke the set 
Now there's only singles 
There's no looking back
This time I mean it

Are you happy now?
Oh tell me how 
You’re happy now 
Are you happy? 

The uncertainty you had of me 
Brought cloudy shady company 
The tenderness habitual 
A seldom-fading ritual 
You killed the pair
Now only one is breathing 
There's no looking back 
This time I mean it 

Are you happy now?
Oh tell me how 
You’re happy now 
Are you happy? 
Are you happy now?
How is it now? 
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?

No more leaning on your shoulder 
I won't be there, no more bother 
If you feel you just might want me 
That's too bad, I'm not the easy 

The contemplator all those years 
Now you must adhere 
To your new career of liberation 
You've been cast all by yourself 
You're free at last 
You broke the set, now there's 
There’s only singles 
There's no looking back 
This time I mean it 

Are you happy now?
Tell me how 
You’re happy now 
Are you happy? 
Are you happy now?
How is it now? 
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?

You're by yourself 
All by yourself 
You have no one else 
You're by yourself 
All by yourself
All by yourself
All by yourself
All by yourself
No one else
No one else
By yourself
By yourself

Different People

Your things can be broken down 
In this world of ours 
You don't have to be a famous person 
Just to make your mark 
A mother can be an inspiration 
To her little son 
Change his thoughts, his mind, his life, 
Just with her gentle hum 

So different, yet so the same 
Two sisters only have their parents to blame 
It's rare that two can get along 
But when they do, they're inseparable 
Such a blessing comes to few 

The sky is full of clouds and 
My world's full of people 
You got the different kinds 
With different ways 
It would take a lifetime to explain 
No one's the same 

He and she, two different people 
With two separate lives
Then you put the two together 
And get a spectacular surprise 
Because one can teach the other one
What she doesn't know 
While still the other fills a place inside 
He never knew had room to grow

The sky is full of clouds and 
My world's full of people 
You got the different kinds 
With different ways 
It would take a lifetime to explain 
No one's the same 

Once in a while I sit back 
And think about the planet 
Most of the time I trip on it 
To kick back and think about 
How massive it all is 
And how many others are on it 

I often think about the world 
In which I live today, of animals and plants 
And nature's gift set in display 
But the most amazing thing 
That I've seen in my time 
Are all the different people 
And all their different minds-minds-minds-minds
And different ways 
It would take a lifetime to explain 
No one's exactly the same 
So many different people 
So many different kinds 
So many-many-many different people 
So many different 

Look at me, I'm a person 
Look at me, I'm my own person 
So many different people 
So many different kinds 
For better or for worse, so different people

Hey You

Hey you with the wedding dress on 
Made of white chiffon blowing in the wind 
Hey you with the dreams in your head 
You've been so mislead by your heart's pull 
I know you're waiting for your ship to come in 
You anxiously wait for such a long time

You're just like my Ken and Barbie Doll 
You dress up and play the game 
You're just like my Ken and Barbie Doll 
You're name will never change 

Hey you with the eyes full of hope 
You think you can rope your desire 
Hey you, you naive thing 
Your patience in time will tire 
I know you're waiting for your tide to roll in 
How did you ever set such high hopes? 

You're just like my Ken and Barbie Doll 
You dress up and play the game 
You're just like my Ken and Barbie Doll 
You're name will never change 
You're just like my Ken and Barbie Doll 
In a plastic world of make believe 
You're just like my Ken and Barbie Doll 
You know he's gonna leave

The Climb

Step by step 
I've come closer to reaching the top
Every step must be placed so that I don't fall off 
Looking down to see about how much higher I am 
Another cool wind comes through and brushes my skin 

The harder I push the tension does grow 
I gather my thoughts the further and further I go 
With some luck I just might keep on climbing 
So better to climb than to face a fall 

So high the climb I can't turn back now
Must keep climbing up to the clouds 
So high the climb I can't turn back now 
Must keep climbing up to the clouds 

Pulling myself up by a rope I better my view 
The only thing in sight is what I must do 
As I turned I could see myself falling 
Which in return save me strength for the climb

So high the climb I can't turn back now 
Must keep climbing up to the clouds
So high the climb I can't turn back now 
Must keep climbing up to the clouds

Although many failed I must now prevail with no question 
Have no time to stop onward to the top of the mountain 
And I, I can't turn back now 
It’s so very high but I can't turn back now 

If I keep it up, I'm gonna make it
I'm so very close, can't you see?
So high the climb I can't turn back now 
Must keep climbing up to the clouds 
So high the climb I can't turn back now
Must keep climbing up to the clouds 

So high the climb I can't turn back now 
Must keep on climbing up to the clouds
I'm getting closer I'm getting closer 
I'm getting closer

Sixteen

You've been a juvenile 
With a dolphin smile
With no elbow room 
With your body in bloom 
You've had your little backyard
Protected by big walls 
You didn't dare look over 
'Cause you've been too small 

Now you're finally sixteen 
And you're feeling old 
But they won't believe 
That you've got a soul 
'Cause you're only sixteen 
And you're feeling real 
But you can't seem to 
Cop a feel 

Why do they have to force us 
Through this metamorphose 
Little butterfly 
No matter how you try 
You'll be segregated
You're gonna be closed off 
You're callow and you're green 
'Cause you're caught between 

You're only sixteen 
Try to cross the line 
But your little wings are 
Intertwined 
You're only sixteen 
And you're such a tease 
And there's nothing you do 
That can really please 

"These children 
They're not really bad most of them 
They're just products 
Of rotten neighborhoods 
And bad family situations" 

You know you can forsake it 
So sit back and take it 
You see you're just not ripe 
So don't try and fight that 

You're only sixteen 
You wanna catch a peek 
But they look at you 
Like you're such a freak 
Well, you're only sixteen 
With a lot to say 
But they won't give you 
The time of day 

You're only sixteen! 
You're only sixteen!! 
You're just sixteen!!! 
You poor little thing

Sunday Morning

Sappy pathetic little me 
That was the girl I used to be 
You had me on my knees 
I'd trade you places any day 
I'd never thought you could be that way 
But you looked like me on Sunday

You came in with the breeze 
On Sunday Morning 
You sure have changed since yesterday 
Without any warning 
I thought I knew you 
I thought I knew you 
I thought I knew you well... so well 

You're trying my shoes on for a change
They look so good but fit so strange 
Out of fashion so I can complain 

You came in with the breeze 
On Sunday Morning 
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning 
I thought I knew you 
I thought I knew you 
I thought I knew you well... so well 

I know who I am, but who are you? 
You're not looking like you used to 
You're on the other side of the mirror 
So nothing's looking quite as clear 
Thank you, for turning on the lights 
Thank you, now you're the parasite 
I didn't think you had it in you 
And now, you're looking like I used to! 

You came in with the breeze 
On Sunday Morning 
You sure have changed since yesterday 
Without any warning 
And you want me badly
You cannot have me 
I thought I knew you 
I've got a new view 
I thought I knew you well...oh well

Don't Speak

You and me 
We used to be together 
Every day together always 
I really feel 
That I'm losing my best friend 
I can't believe
This could be the end 
It looks as though you're letting go 
And if it's real 
Well I don't want to know 

Don't speak 
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining 
Don't tell me ‘cause it hurts 
Don't speak 
I know what you're thinking 
I don't need your reasons 
Don't tell me ‘cause it hurts

Our memories 
They can be inviting 
But some are altogether 
Mighty frightening 
As we die, both you and I 
With my head in my hands 
I sit and cry 

Don't speak 
I know just what you're saying 
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me ‘cause it hurts (no, no, no) 
Don't speak 
I know what you're thinking 
I don't need your reasons 
Don't tell me ‘cause it hurts 

It's all ending 
I gotta stop pretending 
Who we are... 

You and me 
I can see us dying...
Are we? 

Don't speak 
I know just what you're saying 
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me ‘cause it hurts (no, no) 
Don't speak 
I know what you're thinking 
And I don't need your reasons 
Don't tell me ‘cause it hurts 
Don't tell me ‘cause it hurts! 
I know what you're saying 
So please stop explaining
Don't speak, don't speak, don't speak, 
Oh I know what you're thinking 
And I don't need your reasons 
I know you're good, I know you're good, 
I know you're real good 

Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la 
Don't, don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin' 
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush 
Don’t tell me tell me cause it hurts 
Hush, hush darlin', hush, hush darlin' 
Hush, hush don't tell me tell me ‘cause it hurts

You Can Do It

Since you've been gone
Since you've been unglued 
It's hard to figure out 
Your next move 
One minute here 
The next you're gone 
Let's make an end 
To this sad, sad song 
For you it's hard to take 
'Cause the pill has an awful taste 
Just open up and swallow down 
Once it hits bottom 
Things may turn around 

Unfortunately this is the case 
You've got to catch up 
And win the race 
Straighten yourself out...
You can do it, you can do it
You can do it

Everything you say 
Has been taking more
Enough to say 
It’s a sad, sad song
They can't understand 
That you mean to do good 
I guess you could say 
You're misunderstood 
I know you're meaning well 
But you've been shot to hell 
Just come back and join us now 
'Cause I know that you know how

Unfortunately this is the case 
You've got to catch up 
And win the race 
Straighten yourself out... 
You can do it, you can do it
You can do it

I know it seems 
They're messing with your mind 
But you don't have to go 
Forward blind 
So let the bygones 
Be bygone 
And let's make and end 
To this sad, sad song 

Unfortunately this is the case 
You've got to catch up 
And win the race 
Straighten yourself out... 
You can do it, you can do it
You can do it, you can do it
You can do it, you can do it
You can do it, you can do it…

World Go 'Round

In the quickness of our haste 
It seems we forget how to live 
The old blueprint 
No longer manifests itself 
As the correct way to exist 
Wipe the grime off the view hole 
And please take a closer look 
Environmental bandits 
Up to their shenanigans 
Crooks disguised...
Crooks disguised...

We've got to find another way 
To make the world go 'round
We've got to find another way 
To make the world go 'round

Our individual roles we think 
Not so important to the plot 
The big picture unseen 
Leaving life in between 
Destroyed and overwrought 
There's no need to point the finger 
We understand who takes the blame 
Delinquents caught 
Red-handed in the act 
Crooks disguised as you and I 

We've got to find another way 
To make the world go 'round 
We've got to find another way 
To make the world go 'round
We've got to find another way 
To make the world go 'round
Yeah, find another way 

You see there's many-many-many-many
People in the world 
And I'm not sure if I like 
What I've heard 
I'm not sure if I like
What I'm doing myself 
I'm not sure if I like how it turns 
Degragation 
Violation
Inexcusable exploitation 
It's the dawning of a new era 
People consciously don't care 
How unfair 

To find another way 
To make the world go 'round
We've gotta find another way 
To make the world go 'round…

End It On This

You see in the past
I had a dream, a fantasy 
I thought that we would last 
Become a little family
Then one, two, three, four 
The years were flying by they soared 
And it's my gut feeling 
It's not happening for me, so... 

Let's end it on this 
Give me one more kiss 
Let's end it on this 
Let's end it on this 

You see it's hard to face 
The addict that's inside of me 
I want to fill my glass up
With you constantly 
I've been here before 
But I've never ever felt this sure 
And now I know I've been dreaming 
And your actions have inspired me, so... 

Let's end it on this 
Give me one more kiss 
Let's end it on this 
Let's end it on this 

I open up, you ignore me 
You're not the same at all 
And if I could turn back the pages of time 
I'd rewrite you point of view 

Washed up to the shore 
Given one last chance to try some more 
But I'm tired, I'm freezing 
Let's stop and call it history

Let's end it on this let's end it on this 
Let's end it on this let's end it on 
Let's end it on this end it on this 
Let's end it on this let's end it on 
Washed up to the shore 
Given one last chance 
To try some more
But let's end it on this
Let's end it on this

Tragic Kingdom

Once was a magical place 
Over time it was lost 
Price increased the cost 
Now the fortune of the kingdom 
Is locked up in its dungeon vaults 
The castle floor lies in traps 
With coiled wired set back 
Decoyed by old cheese 
Now the drawbridge has been lifted 
As the millions 
They drop to their knees 

They pay homage to a king 
Whose dreams are buried 
In their minds 
His tears are frozen stiff 
Icicles drip from his eyes 

The cold wind blows as it snows 
On those who fight to get in 
On heads that are small
Disillusioned as they enter 
They're unaware what's 
Behind castle walls 
But now it's written in stone 
The king has been overthrown 
By jesterly fools 
And the power of the people 
Shall come to believe they do rule 

They pay homage to a king 
Whose dreams are buried 
In their minds 
His tears are frozen stiff 
Icicles drip from his eyes 

Welcome to the tragic kingdom 
Cornfields of popcorn 
Have yet to spring open 

Have they lost their heads 
Or are they just all blind mice 
We've heard all their stories 
One too many times 
Hypnotized by fireflies 
That glow in the dark 
Midgets that disguise themselves 
As tiny little dwarfs 
The parade that's electrical 
It serves no real purpose
Just takes up a lot of juice 
Just to impress us 

They pay homage to a king
Whose dreams are buried 
In their minds 
His tears are frozen stiff 
Icicles drip from his eyes 

Welcome to the tragic kingdom 
Cornfields of popcorn 
Have yet to spring open
