Curb Appeal

Robbed at gunpoint, nice and slow
darling it's a bad one, gonna blow
up the town and down the road
up your skirt and down your throat.
Put a baby in your belly that you didn't plan
maybe if you're pretty you can keep a man
cross contamination of the promised land
I'm the kind of woman that you shouldn't command.
I'll ruin, I will ruin you. Ruin, I will ruin you.
Blow, blow right through you. Oh I will ruin you.
She's a quick witted witch and her wandering way
will leave you at the altar with blood to pay
symmetrical design breeds thoughtful decay
increase the postage and expect a delay.
Patience is the virtue I didn't receive
twist in the handle as you call me a thief
quick licked lips say I'll never leave
but I'm the kind of woman you shouldn't believe.
I'll ruin, I will ruin you. Ruin, I will ruin you.
Blow, blow right through you. Oh I will ruin you.
Tearing holes in your body just to see what's real
moderate affection for curb appeal
paralleled paranoia you tend to conceal
wasting all your wishes, it's a hell of a deal.
Soft scabs and scars tell me you like it rough
huffin' and a puffin' 'till they call your bluff
get a job, get a dream, get a week sobered up,
but I'm the kind of woman where it's never enough.
I'll ruin, I will ruin you. Ruin, I will ruin you.
Blow, blow right through you. Oh I will ruin you.

Precipice

I'm afraid that this will fade, and all our love will dissipate,
Everything that we have made will change its shape.
Travel to the other side and try to hide the space beside.
It's seeping through the cracks - you fight the other side.
I will follow through. I will follow through.
I will follow you. I will follow through.
If I can learn to hold my place, start processing the quiet space,
placate our fate and pass with grace - it's not the case.
Quit fighting this, I must insist. There's nothing here that you would miss.
Take me to the bliss abyss; the precipice.
I will follow through. I will follow through.
I will follow you. I will follow through.

Lightning

Lightning strikes. The whole world is electrified.
I can see so clear at night. Every thing else pales and dies.
Oh, you tell me that you never loved at all.
Give me your faith and your weary
bones to bury beside me now.
I wanted out; we got caught up somehow.
Oh, you tell me that you never loved at all.
It's a slow freight train. Slowly driving me insane.
Built a tolerance to pain, but a bullet would've been humane.
Oh, you tell me that you never loved at all.
All of the logic is flawed. I'll reflect everything
That I'd thought I'd seen. Be nice to me; I'm not used to lightning.
Oh, you tell me that you never loved at all.
I'll keep living in sweet misery. Slowly killing everything I thought I believed.
Oh, you tell me that you never loved at all.

El Paso

It was a long way down to El Paso.
It was a long way down to the South as we gave it all away.
You started telling truth covered lies.
Started to listen; don't use your eyes.
You're stuck here.
It was a long way to degradation.
It was a long way down to the South as we gave it all away.
Tell me you love me and spin me around.
I'll keep on dancing 'till everyone else falls down.
Spoken softly, a line well rehearsed, you can beat me if you love me first.
You'll win the match but I'll win the war. Kill to die first just to even the score; it's true love.
It was a long way down to El Paso.
It was a long way down to the South as we gave it all away.

Mockingbird

These are the days that I'll look back on.
Shy at the ways I was acting.
My new friends wont know what I have done.
These are the days of limitless freedom.
Given some wings; pretend I don't need 'em.
Hungry for what I can become.
Mockingbird lullabies; I can see the love in your eyes.
I want you to know I'm looking back. I want you to know I'm looking back.
Yours is the face that mine takes after.
Fill in the holes with fading laughter.
Fly me away so I'll fly home.
You planted the seeds in all the right places.
Lit up the world with the smiles on your faces.
Growing towards the sun is all I've known.
Mockingbird lullabies; I can see the love in your eyes.
I want you to know I'm looking back. I want you to know I'm looking back.
We'll break down. We can grow back down.
I'll tell you what everything means.
It means:
Mockingbird lullabies; I can see the love in your eyes.
I want you to know I'm looking back. I want you to know I'm looking back.
