Burning My Cashmere 1 Burning my cashmere I'm burning my cashmere All of my cashmere Burning to the sky... Takin A Vacation (From My Medication) Can't sleep another day in my bed Cause there's a revolution in my head They're fightin over who should run the show There's rumblings that maybe I should go I know I shouldn't talk this way It always gets me put away I'm takin a vacation from my medication... The world is so incredibibly great You gotta come and help me celebrate I'm feelin so impossibibly fine Just to hear you say that you are mi mi mine Hope this day will never end Least until I crash again I'm takin a vacation from my medication... Our finest they have all gone off to war Guess that leaves me to cheer and keep the score Someday they'll even figure out what for At least they're on the side god's rootin for All I know's eventually Even the future's history I'm takin a vacation from my medication... I threw my happy pills right out the window I sent the little white ones back to Limbaugh I mailed the loopy-loos back to their maker I kept the pretty ones to be a shaker Takin a vacation from my medication... (repetez et affaiblissez) When I When I find myself In unfamiliar places And my smiles are lost On strange and empty faces Then I long to feel Your embraces And when I find myself In my imagination I am bathing in A loving radiation And you, you're floating to No destination Now the season's changing And so is the weather And I know you're waiting Til we can be together Still I, sometimes I Wonder If I stayed until you Said I must be leavin Or I left you with Nobody to believe in Which path would bring to you More grievin Nineteenth Morning It's the nineteenth morning Of a love affair And I turn to hold her But she's still not there In my bed, and that's too bad Cause she's the best lover I never had Well she paints the weather On her bedroom walls But I can't be with her When her rainbow falls To the ground, if she never comes around And I can't keep listening for such an empty sound I'm beginning to think that she's just a... tease She knows she could have me anyway she... please But she only wants me on my... knees Well I forgot her laughter And I forgot her voice And I'd forget those deep dark eyes You know if I had a choice But I can let her go, yeah I can leave her behind And if I didn't love her I wouldn't even mind Cause it's the nineteenth morning Of a love affair And I turn to touch her But she's only there In my head, and that's really too bad Cause she's the very best lover I never had I Live In My Head I live in my head I don't care where I go You can take me wherever I'd never know It's all the same movie It's all the same show When you live in your head I live in my head Right under my hat Just back of these eyes Yes that's where I'm at I don't need an address A car or a bed Cause I live in my head It's not how much you have, it's what you share It's not the place you are, it's if you're there So I live in my head... Yeah you can waste your time until it's gone I'm only watching my life cause it's on And I live in my head It's a rather tight fit I'd ask you to stay But there's no place to sit But don't ya go leavin Just cause I said I live in my head... Take Me to the Execution Take me to the execution I'll be quiet I'll be good Heard there's gonna be a big one Right here in our neighborhood So take me to the execution Hurry they'll be starting soon And I'm so tired of staying here Locked up all alone in my room Warden sent me cake and ice cream Preacher read me fairy tales Saw my picture in the paper Maybe it's my birthday today! So take me to the execution I've got noplace left to go And everyone I know will be there So take me to the execution show... Lost & Found Ten years ago you were where you are now Something didn't change somehow You settled down it was the thing to do You hadn't heard that it was up to you And such a pretty dream the two of you The sun hits your window every morning it's the same day I'll be late again tonight you hear somebody say You had your bags packed once for moving on Bet ya can't remember what made you turn around And now your children they're all grown & gone You met a man who read you like a book He gave a good review and then he took You drinking in a very fancy bar You hoped that he would tell you who you are But he hadn't read that far You tried to find yourself in your social work You tried to lose yourself in the pills you took You tried to find yourself in the underground You tried to lose yourself in the latest sound You feel like a walkin lost & found The Dog Ate My Lyrics (instrumental) She's So Last Week She's so last week Can't even speak to her no more And furthermore she's at the door Don't know what to say She always gets her way with me it's true I got things to do but she doesn't hear a Thing that I say And after she says "I'm flyin away" (far away) I say that's OK, just promise me you'll stay gone Promise me you'll stay gone She's so last week And so unique like all her friends And when it ends I'll crawl back to my Previous life Pick up this knife and carve her name In the wall of fame above the bed It won't mean a thing Cause I've just been winging it by ear (and i fear) And what I fear, is what if she don't stay gone What if she don't stay gone Now she's last year I never hear from her no more It's such a bore, can't ask for more I've taken up art, I've read til I'm smart Oh there's a void but I'm overjoyed Well, less annoyed I'll paint what I see In front of me, a rain of days (empty days) My list ablaze, I only hope she stays gone Darling won't you stay gone, stay gone Hey why don't you stay gone Don't Let Me Blow Away Well I can't be chasing everybody down Ah no, can't buy the time And I never play whatever happened to Anyone I knew from another time Cause sitting here with you in a daze Is all I want for now in these days And though you tell me no time lasts forever Every day I watch the summer trickle down Like sand onto the ground And I lie in bed and listen to the words we said Fall dead without a sound And as the masks are stripped away I'm getting lighter every day Feel like I could even blow away But I'm tied up in these tales that you sing and tell They tell me more than you think you tell About a life unlearned a corner turned a vision burned Into my eyes these scenes your hands describe That trip you left that left you here It's like I've followed watching from the air So if you ever turn and see me floating there, floating there Don't let me blow away And I can't take the blame for everyone I loved Flung wide cause I really tried To keep 'em all I guess I could've found the perfect word But sometimes that word's goodbye And everyone you leave behind Remains a picture in your mind Of someone they can never be again And still I wonder how I want to say to you Or not, what you want to do about Thinkin about stayin here until you know What's it for, and where's it gonna go Cause sitting here with you in a daze Is all I want for now in these days And though you tell me time won't last forever, I say Don't let me blow away Cause sitting here with you in a daze Is all I want for now in these days... Aleta (Won't You Get Me Off Your List) I'm first on your list at last I'm first on your list at last But I'm presently slippin into your past Yes I'm presently slippin into your past I've been waiting such a long time I've been waiting and waiting such a long time How come I had to stand in all those lines Just to see you break this heart of mine Your life is just a play you've been rehearsin Your life is just a play you've been rehearsin It's a play about a cruel and unusual person Your part's a very cruel and unusual person You keep me on a leash but you don't take me for no walk You keep me on a leash but you never take me for no walks You feed me on the floor and make me sleep in a cardboard box You feed me on the floor and then I sleep in a cardboard box It's not normal to be so strange It's not normal to be so strange You're crazy if you think you're not insane You're crazy if you think you're not deranged The way you turn me on it turns me off The way you turn me on it turns me off So I guess this is my stop I must get off Aleta won't you stop I can't get off Aleta! Aleta won't you get me off your list Aleta won't you get me off your list Your nine-day weekend is something I wish I'd missed And yours are two sweet lips I never should have kissed Don't stare at me like this like you just don't get the gist You should realize by now I'm getting pissed So won't you take your razor out my wrist And let me pick my teeth out from your fist I'll send the doctor bill to your analyst So Aleta just you get me off your list Aleta! Burning My Cashmere 2 Cashmere I'm burning my cashmere All of my cashmere Burning to the sky Cashmere Sick of my cashmere Soft & sensual cashmere Burning to the sky (bye bye) My scarf and my sweater My gloves and my coat I'm burning everything cashmere (except for the goat) I hate all my cashmere Such touchable cashmere All my beautiful cashmere Burning to the sky (bye bye)...
