A little ache that's all
Stomach that's frozen in a sigh was she more than a test-drive doll
Orange shirts could make her go blind
He caught her by the throat instead of the mind
Now she's needing an angel to fly her down to the other side
But in the silver lake, silver spoon
The dirty tinsel neighborhood
She could reinvent her world cause
There's silver honey for the test-drive girl
Remember the nights she needed a near by rescue crew
Dreaming herself infrared and not knowing what to do
Circling and circling and spinning around
Finding ways to peel herself off of the ground
Now the empty chatter in her head never shakes the sound
But in the silver lake
Sandy's spoon moved out of the neighborhood well
She could reinvent her world
Cause there's silver honey for the test-drive girl
Purple hand on the stand
A getaway in a sudan well
Things went slighty out of hand
There's silver honey for her test-drive man
Well in the silver lake flooding through
The midnight vulture in your stew
Well, she could reinvent her world
There's silver honey for the test-drive girl
Silver mine silver spine
Wiping out the cocaine line
And honey for the second time

State of pain like mercury
Hearing pink illusions
Gorgeous at 85, older at 23
I drink the water out of time
I said has anybody seen the whirlpool floating in my mind
I said has anybody seen
This is the low that I could find
I'm on solitary sand and
I've been stepped on by a man
But I've stood taller than I am
In parentheses
Beauty queens are very shy
More than lash than meets your eye
So she jumps then wants to fly
It№s too late now I'm in denial
I'll get medieval on boy-bands
I said is anybody listening
The way life makes the nice girls fast
I said is anybody listening
It isn't just unlucky chance
And I'm on solitary sand
And I've had bullshit from a man
But found exactly who I am
I'll never be the vision of a girl who can write poetry
I'll never be the little black dress we№ve seen on natalie b.
I'll never be 5'10", I'm barely 5'3"

Such a long time so much to say
She's bound and gagged 32 ways
Ladies and tarts can I tell you a story for a half price and a red shoe
Everybody's got a price on them sometimes - maybe it's me maybe it's you
She hangs around trailer park towns
Cause that's who she was out of the crowd
What kinda shit do you talk, well baby I just hope that half of it's true
Everybody's got a price on them sometimes - maybe it's me maybe it's you
Chin up
Every eye is on you
We don't guess the way you are cause
Things are fine when everything is never fine
A one girl army up against the whole world now
Scared of the dark - scared of the spark
Spit in the flame, just don't get caught
Chancellors are hiding all the answers, round and round I run to throw them
For a loop
Everybody's got a price on them sometimes - maybe it's me maybe it's you
Chin up
Every eye is on you
We don't guess the way you are
Cause things are fine when everything is never fine
A one girl army up against the whole world now
Maybe she's your sister
Girl inside the picture
Maybe she's your mama
Everybody's gotta have one
Maybe she's your savior
Dressed in drag and feathers
Maybe for a dollar you can watch me dance
Chin up
Every eye is on you
We don't guess the way you are
Cause things are fine when everything is never fine

Kings to follow child to teach
Fools to swallow - girl is fast asleep
Statue stare place to reach
Watching Jeffrey fall asleep
Daddy hugs dogs to walk
Books to lug
Hands to talk a fever in my naive brain
Not wanting things to be the same
Once I had a dream
Once I had a dream, I dreamt the dream in green, grass green
Ramen noodle
Black haired poodle
Hansel Gretel how we hate them
Funny sunny smartass honey
Different scary black died hairy
Once I had a dream
Once I had a dream I dreamt the dream in green, grass green
I'm addicted to your spirit, raven
Forget the operas we sang
I'm warped in your personality and
I wonder if I'll see you on letterman
Ramen noodle
Black haired poodle
Hansel gretel how we hate them
Funny sunny smartass honey
Different scary black died hairy
My friend raven
My friend raven
I'm obsessed with your addictions raven
Forget the mardi gras we drank
I understand that you were saying you're afraid of
The second coming
But
Fear of flying you're denying raven
Fear of flying you're denying raven

Hello boys
Got directions to the bombshell factory?
And a bowflexing nightmare tendency?
Hesitate, where's the tape my retired beauty queen?
Hello girls
Truth can make you stare into the mirror for hours.
And could lipgloss save a nation mr.powers?
Come into what's my own disappear zone-close my ears
Close my eyes
In the world of a stupid girl and in her stupid dress size...
So who are we? who's the judge, and are you something like a hero?
No mistakes..
Different versions of the girl right next to you..
And I'm knocking on your door and can't get through.
And I cry and I sigh and I try to
Close my ears
Close my eyes
In the world of a stupid girl and in her pettiest of lies...
So who are we? who's the judge and are you
Something like a hero?
Dull sensations, push them to the walls
And the thorns that fall, have the guts to walk upon them all
Halfway there
I was waiting by the phone for you to care
And I can't make a seed grow anywhere-
So I wait, so I wait, are you out there?
Close my eyes
I close my ears
In the world of a stupid girl and in her shallowest of fears...
So who are we? who's the judge and are you something like a hero?
Are you something like a hero?
(album version has "chant and scramble" here)
And I'm all for it and I don't know, and not for sure if I'm face down frowned
on the ground or if the devil's gonna get me if I make make make make myself
into a wave out there and I'm never gonna ache like this again and I'm never
gonna 'scape from here.
So I swim and you keep me keep me and I'm turning half blue true and I'm on on
on, out out out out of last words, last words? and I'm half baked and I side
stroke- side go- slide go. Pain pain pain no pain. Pain pain pain no pain. Choke
choke choke lift me out, sift me out- keep me Lord keep me Lord so I won't go
down down down keep me in the rhythm as I float out of my misery oh and I'm far
too gone, and I'm far too gone oh and I'm far too hey. I'm far too gone oh I'm
far too gone for you to go there. And I'm far too gone for you to go there honey
. . .
