Dancing In-Between

Got so scared it made me cry
The world took me for a ride
Got so scared laugh it tickled my pride

Now I'm dancing in between cause I got no where to hide
Romancing the seams of my battered up insides

Wonderful is the falling of a broken dream
Printed on the cover of a New York magazine
Stomp my hands, Jo, clap my feet
Cause there?s always another Firstman to beat

Dancing in between cause I got no where to hide
Romancing the seams of my battered up insides

I'm a fool. I've got no scene
I'm tangled up in this in-between
Made the break now pass the wine
Just wasting all this precious time.

Dancing in-between cause I got no where to hide
Romancing the seams of my battered up inside

Got so scared it made the cry.

Blue Butterfly Boy

darling I know you want me to go
I can feel it like splinters right down to my toes
all my splendor I'll kindly surrender
if you just pretend to car

cause I want to be fragile
I want to be fragile
handle me with care

so your just a Hollywood brat just another Hollywood brat
pretending to be the blue butterfly boy
but I see you, oh lord I see you
standing everywhere

but I want to be fragile
I wan to be fragile
handle me with care
handle me with care
handel me with care

you better run, you better run, you better run
because you might fall in love
you better hide, you better hide, you better hide
because you might fall in love
cause I'm the blue butterfly girl

you better run, you better run, you better run,
because I might fall in love
you better hide, you better hide, you better hide
because I might fall in love
you better run
you better hide
because I'm the blue butterfly girl

Puddle of grace

have you seen yourself today?

could you recognize your face?

can you tell me what to say?

mine is lost without a trace

mama can you help me please?

my hero just stabbed me with a knife that I did lend

oh mama who's my friend?

[chorus]

tell me, tell me, where do you go when all the diamonds have run dry? tell me, tell me, how do you feel after bittersweet goodbyes?

I had almost found my faith

I was almost me

but my pride couldn't swallow my hate

boy I hope you're happy

[chorus]

today I found my face

floating in a puddle of grace

porcelien dolls with cracks to mend

oh mama I found a friend (x2)

Self destruction

somebody tell me when it became what I could have been
then somebody lie to me and tell me I'm everything
cause it's been hard you see to find myself again
oh, I'm an angry fool

all of the time I spent trading lovers for my innocence
hey, did I ever trade the truth
cause it would be a shame you see if I spent it all worthlessly
I'd be bankrupt from youth

cause it's bee hard living
trying to believe

I remember back in the day when we were young
and all are dreams just came our way
Now ones broken, ones missing, and ones blue
tell me cause I just want to know
when did it become this one man show
I'm all tangled up and bruised

cause it's bee hard living
trying to believe

am I self-destructing?
am I self-destructing?
are we self-destructing?
figure it out.

Simple man

Did you feel my love?
Did you feel it rain?
Did I touch your soul or was it all in vain?

Be careful of your ego my friend
I feel it's your worse disease.
And be careful of that solitude
you so desperately need.

Oh my love the time we spent
flying and flying everywhere we went.
I was like a butterfly who had just found wings.
Caught in the middle and half way in-between.
It's a desperate place to be.
Seems like you're spinning in circles out of control.

Did you feel my love?
Did you feel it rain?
Did I touch your soul or was it all in vain?

Be careful of your ego my friend
I feel it's your worst disease.
And be careful of that solitude
you so desperately need.

So when the laughter has finally disappeared
and you're just a simple man standing here
I ask you who are you going to be?

When the dream has finally faded away
and you're just another man on another day
I ask you who are you going to be?

Idealistic Daydream

hello I think I'm now awake
sorry I made the mistake of dreaming it was you

goodbye to that castle I the sky
to my prince from lives gone by guess it was just a lie

the time keeps slipping away
the time keeps slipping away

true love the idealistic daydream
close my eyes it's only when I'm asleep
lay me down idealistic daydream
forever counting your sheep
I just want to go back to sleep

so I ask you now
how did you take my breath away
how did you touch my soul that day
never intending to stay

the time keeps slipping away

true love the idealistic daydream
close my eyes it's only when I'm asleep
lay me down idealistic daydream
forever counting your sheep
I just want to go back to sleep

Panic

What is this world that we all have to bear?
Is it the same as it is for you, are we going anywhere?
I don't know.
We all wake up in the morning.
We all take a breath.
We all search for comfort.
We all have our tests.
How are you?

chorus:
Pick up the pieces and kiss them goodbye
it keeps on moving so don't even try.
And the dandelion has it's day then it wilts
and it dies and the seeds fly away.

I have my coffee.
I have my dog.
I've got my guitar, and thank god I've got love.
How about you?
All these little necessities to help see
us through this long day of life.

[chorus]

Hard to be simple.
Hard to be true.
Hard to keep searching to find something new.
Freedom comes when you're alone.
Keep on trucking you're almost done.
Keep on trucking you're almost done.

And after the long day is done I hope you can
look back and say, “boy that was fun”.
And all those tambourines are still ringing in your head.
And the next time you wake you're in somebody else's bed.

[chorus]

All the dandelion seeds fly away.

Fairway

I'm home again
out of control
my life is a tangled web
not a tangible thing to hold

slippin into the fairway again

on the edge of a hill
where the mummies meet the day
I saw a raven of fear
that the forest will betray
so I stepped to the
side of the ledge
I held my wings wide
give me freedom I said
as I stepped from the side

slippin into the fairway again

pleased to meet the moonlit sun
on the brink of the edge of a wave
pleased to meet the moonlit sun
and follow it to a new day

slippin into the fairway again

don't be sad said the mummy to the man
because if you don't put up a fight
you'll never see the scam

slippin into the fairway again

pleased to meet the moonlit sun
on the brink of the edge of a wave
pleased to meet the moonlit sun
and follow it to a new day

slippin into the fairway again

SO I STEPPED TO THE SIDE OF THE LEDGE
I HELD MY WINGS WIDE
GIVE ME FREEDOM I SAID
AS I STEPPED FROM THE SIDE

I'm home again
out of control
my life is a tangled web
not a tangible thing to hold

Julia Roberts

I want to be Julia Roberts in the movies
I want to make you laugh and make you cry
make you want to be me

then I want to steal all of her beautiful appeal
and wrap it up so no else can see

that's the truth them are the facts
I'm a self-obsessed little brat
that's the deal I got no couth
it's a sorted disease from my unrequited youth

then I want to die right her in Hollywood's eye
so everyone and their mother will remember me
then I'm going to slap your tears all over my fears
like a Band-Aid covering the lonely only truth
I want to be loved
I WANT TO BE LOVED
I WANT TO BE LOVED BY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

that's the truth
that's the fact
I'm a self-obsessed little brat
