Thirsty Bird

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

I Don't Belong

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

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

Tell It to The Wind
03:30

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
