Thirsty Bird 04:22
Here's your hand on mine, my heart goes Mmm-chicka Lingering through the night my heart goes mmm-chicka Here's our dwindling time, my heart goes mmm-chicka One last kiss goodnight, my heart goes mmm-chicka In my heart, you've still got your hands on me In my heart, you've still got your hands on me In my chest I get no rest--what an incessant beat In my heart, you've still got your hands on me I'll be off to California soon That unfamiliar lonely desert moon Where oil rigs clang so loud I just can bear it But somehow in their sound I'll find your heart beat Chorus The thirsty bird's dropping on the beat see how the landscape hums for you-it hums for you The the thirst bird's dropping on the beat see how the landscape sweats for you The thirsty bird's dropping on the beat see how the landscape burns for you--I burn for you The thirsty bird's dropping on the beat it's got my heart going mmm-chicka Chorus

You loved me. I know it. I felt it. I felt it. I loved you. You know it. You felt it. You felt it. You felt me. I need it. I loved it. I loved it. I felt you. You loved it. You loved it. You loved me. My body belongs to you, My body belongs to you, My body belongs to you But I don't belong It's too hot, too heavy. It weighs much, much too much. I need you. You need me. It scares me. It scares you. It haunts me. I want you. It pulls me. I push you. Let's step back--just step back. You'll crush me. I'll crush you. My body belongs to you, my body belongs to you, my body belongs to you, But I don't belong All I can do for you from now on is get gone--get gone. All I can do for you from now on is get gone--get gone. I tried to hold on when I knew it was wrong, but I'll get gone, baby. I'll get gone. All I can do for you from now on is get gone--get gone. You tell me to get gone. It's too much. It's too hard. You tell me to get gone. I'm too much. I'm too hard. Don't sweat it. I mean it. I love you. I love you. Don't sweat it. I mean it. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. My body belongs to you, my body belongs to you but I don't belong. All I can do for you from now on is get gone, baby, get gone. Don't sweat it. I mean it. I love you. I love you. Don't sweat it. I mean it. I love you. I love you.

After All 05:14
On the green with the fireflies a romantic scene projected from your eyes with your hand inching under my skirt I was human with you as we lay in the dirt After all that I felt, I feel nothing at all. Like the time that we spent didn't happen at all. You pull me back to you--me back to you as we try to recall all the passion we had but there's nothing at all. In the car, you a bundle of nerves as you confessed all of your hurts I loved you so much and so hard that I just couldn't speak I was human with you in the dim and the bleak. Chorus And your tone sometimes changed you went all cold. I thought you'd slip away and I'd tighten my hold. I miss how it hurt-- how I needed you to stay. But now go ahead, darling, slip away, slip away, slip away. Now go ahead darling, slip away slip away Chorus

You drew a line the sand So I’d always know just where I stand And if the wind blows hard I forget my place, don’t know where I am I’m like a line in the sand With just a finger’s touch you decide my end I’m like a line in the sand With a kick of dust you laugh “What’s to defend?” And I’m gone I mustn’t worry my pretty little head It'll be just fine he says it will be fine I feel the weight of a man He's holding me, holding me I feel the weight of a man He's holding me, holding me I feel the weight of a man He's holding me,holding me It feels like he's holding me down I mustn't worry my pretty little head I can tell all my secrets to the wind I'll tell it to the wind I’m like a howling wind Like a shrieking memory of where you’ve been I’m like a howling wind But you won’t the ghosts, say they don’t exist I’m like a howling wind That you trudge against for another win I’m like a howling wind You can stop your ears, but you feel the resist
