Museum of Feelings

Our love was supersonic
Flying around the world in 40 hours or so
Our love was like a tonic
Like something heady full of snake oil from a medicine show
Our love was so dramatic
Should have Tony awards and a Sondheim score
Our love was operatic
We had all the highs and lows of La Scala for sure (Ooh)
But that’s before I found out
All the things you did that would send me reeling
You put your love into doubt
So I locked it all up in the museum of feelings
Our love was Instamatic
Captured for posterity in silver gicleé
Our love was so chromatic
Warhol would’ve painted us in quadruple display
Our love was so romantic
The best ones to describe it would be Byron or Keats
Our love was so gigantic
Vaster than the biggest brontosaurus’s feet
But you had to go and ruin it by playing Tarzan with some other Jane (Ooh)
Now I’m keeping up appearances
Don’t even bother to explain (YEAH!)
Our love’s now so poetic
Sylvia Plath would’ve said it’s a gas
Our love’s now so atomic
Einstein would’ve said we’re nearing critical mass
Our love is now so tragic
Shakespeare could’ve captured it in 5 acts for sure
Our love’s now gone by magic
‘cause you sawed me in half and left me down on the floor… (Ooh)
And that’s because I found out
All the things you did that would send me reeling,
You put your love into doubt,
So I locked it all up in the museum of feelings.. (Museum of feelings, yeah!)
Our love was
(Our love was…)
Our love was
(Our love was…)
Our love was
(Our love was…)
Our love was
(Our love was…)

Unoriginal Sins
03:34

I can’t walk on water
I can’t bring back the dead
I can’t undo the wrongs I’ve done
I can’t take back what I’ve said
In your eyes, I’ll never go to sleep
And somehow wake up blessed
Watch me walk away now
I think it’s for the best
I can’t un-go where I’ve already been
I won’t beg for forgiveness for unoriginal sins
Don’t drown in the water that’s gone under the bridge
That’s where the riptides’ gonna pull you in
I can’t un-fuck old lovers
I can’t rewrite history
I can’t sing a different song
I can’t change what you think of me
Before you go invent yourself
A past suspiciously pristine
Why not take a moment
To make sure your hands are clean?
I can’t un-go where I’ve already been
I won’t beg for forgiveness for unoriginal sins. (Ahhh-Ahhh)
Don’t drown in the water that’s gone under the bridge. ((AHHH-AHHHH)
That’s where the riptides’ gonna pull you in. (Doubled an octave up)
If my past is all that you can see
We can never make new history
I can’t unburn the ashes
I can’t send snow back to the clouds
I can’t restore the silence
Once I’ve screamed something out loud
Don’t say you don’t remember
As you revise your narrative
Truth is absolute
And not what you want to believe
I can’t un-go where I’ve already been
I won’t beg for forgiveness for unoriginal sins
Don’t drown in the water that’s gone under the bridge
That’s where the riptides’ gonna pull you in
That’s where the riptides’ gonna pull you in
That's where the riptides' gonna pull you in

Fame is rarely an immaculate conception
I’ve done a lot of things I didn’t want to do
Chose compromised positions over rejection
now I wear my shame like a broken–heeled shoe
They said I have talent from heaven above
The sky was the limit in the backs of their cars
Looking back, honey, quid pro quo isn’t love
But they said, in their hands, they would make me a star
It gets hot in the lights on the stage every night
But it can get really dark in your soul
I try to be greater than the sum of my parts
But I know that I’ll never be whole
At first they flatter and then they dissect
Keep you so wasted you don’t know where you’ve been
They’re your Svengali, give you a lot to correct
Never a moment secure in your own skin
It don’t even sound like my song anymore
I don’t know who’s staring me back in the mirror
It’s all image that you buy in the store
If they ain’t buying I’ll be gone in a year
It wasn’t overnight, or even a year
Choice was an illusion, my options few
Built walls ‘tween my lover and those I hold dear
You will never convince me that nobody knew
Leather couch sticking to the back of my thighs
Keeping my mouth shut ’til the deal was through
Now there’s something dead in back of my eyes
I hitched myself to a star that I didn’t choose
It gets hot in the lights on the way stage every night
But it can get really dark in your soul
I try to be greater than the sum of my parts
But I know that I’ll never be whole
I know that I’ll never be whole
Yeah, I know that I’ll never be whole
I know that I’ll never, never ever be whole

Rose Colored Glasses
05:06
|

I found a crack in my rose colored glasses
And It gave me a glimpse of reality
Now is the time to stop kissing asses
And lay claim to the things that belong to me
I got real tired of looking over my shoulder
Waiting for that second shoe to fall
Now is the time to be a little bit bolder
Won’t apologize a bit for not being small
I’ve had it up to here asking for permission
time you give up expecting my submission
Not losing any sleep if you’re not my biggest fan
I am who
I am
It’s not your right to grant me space in the world
Nix the well-intentioned comments - don’t be a squirrel
I simply want an uncomplicated life
I don’t need your approbation or your trite advice
Puttin’ on my big girl pants
Not gonna be a victim of your circumstance
Sometimes it’s better to take the trump
With the card you leave unplayed
Just walk away
Sometimes I wonder how you got so emboldened
Passing judgment when you haven’t walked in my shoes
I guess nobody told you sometimes silence is golden
If you bet on assumptions you’ll probably lose
Please tell me how my body threatens your existence
Did your mother never tell you it’s not nice to stare
Spare me fake concern on how I live my life
You’re not my doctor, and I’m not your wife
I’ve had it up to here asking for permission
time you give up expecting my submission
Not losing any sleep if you’re not my biggest fan
I am who I am
I found a crack in my rose colored glasses
And It gave me a glimpse of reality
Now is the time to stop kissing asses
And lay claim to the things that belong to me
Now I'm claiming all the things that belong to me
Belong to me
I am who I am

Pink Guitar
04:55
|

You’re man enough to hold my hand
You’re man enough to be my friend
You’re man enough to be afraid
And man enough to do it anyway
And you’re man enough to
Play— a pink guitar
You’re man enough to hold me tight
You’re man enough for a fair fight
You’re man enough to know you’re right
And man enough to never make me wrong
And you’re man enough to play —a pink guitar
It’s pink, and it sparkles like a star
I think it made me love you fr-om afar
Or maybe it’s the sparkle in your eye
That lets me know I’m lucky you’re my guy
And I love how you pla-a-y
your pink guitar
You’re man enough to say you’re mine
You’re man enough for funny valentines
You’re man enough to have my back
and man enough to scra-a-tch it, too
And you’re man enough to play a pink guitar
I have spent a lot of years
Always only grinding gears
Wasted time massaging fragile egos
But you’re very clear just who you are
I’ve hitched my wagon to your star
Now sit back and watch where we’ll go
It’s pink, and it sparkles like a star
I think it made me love you fr-om afar
Or maybe it’s the sparkle in your eye
That lets me know I’m lucky you’re my guy
And I love how you pla-a-y
Your pink guitar
You’re man enough to take my hand
You’re man enough to understand
You’re man enough to serenade me
And man enough to be my favorite muse
And you’re man enough to play a pink guitar
You’re man enough for silly names
You’re man enough to fan my flames
You’re man enough to lift me up
And man enough to always be my home
And you’re man enough to play a pink guitar
It’s pink, and it sparkles like a star
I think it made me love you fr-om afar
Or maybe it’s the warmth in your smile
That makes me so happy you’re my guy
And I love how you pla-a-y
Your pink guitar
Man enough to play-a-y - a pink guitar
(Playing my heartstrings on your guitar)
Baby, you’ll go far
(Your pink guitar, yeah)
I really love how you play your pink guit-a-a-ar

Heart Trouble
05:08

When I first saw you, baby
I knew you would be trouble
And then when you kissed me, darlin’
I knew it would be double
Baby, I saw you at a party
When I was talking to some sailor
Then you flashed your big, brown eyes
Sent me right into heart failure
I’ve got heart trouble
You give me such trouble with my heart
Now I’m having palpitations
I knew you’d cause heart trouble from the start
The best thing for my heart
Would be to start a lovin’ home
You said “take an aspirin’, baby
Because I’ve gotta roam”
I went to the doctor
‘Cause I couldn’t catch my breath
She told me what my problem is
I’m lovin’ you to death
I’ve got heart trouble
You give me such trouble with my heart
Now I’m having palpitations
I knew you’d cause heart trouble from the start
My telephone is ringin’
Just about a quarter of three
You tell me that you’re coming home
Because you’re missin’ me
I heard the back door slammin’
Just about half past four
This is the “big one", baby
You left me gaspin’ on the floor
CLEAR
My friends say if I take you back, such a big mistake I’m makin’
When you went and left me, I knew my heart was breaking
Don’t know what I’ll do, now that you are back
My heart is beatin’ double, you’ll give me a heart attack
Radiatin’ chest pain
There’s not much they can do
My coronary arteries
Are clogged with memories of you
I’ve got heart trouble
You give me such trouble with my heart
Now I’m having palpitations
I knew you’d cause heart trouble from the start
Someone get the paddles
‘Cause I knew you’d cause heart trouble from the start
From the start

I told you right from the start
That I would only break your heart
And now you’re sifting through the ashes
Looking for another start
I know I told you the truth
At least I didn’t waste your youth
You better find yourself a surgeon
I said we could have some fun
But I’d be gone when we were done
Now you’re crying on my doorstep
Saying I’m the only one
You’re dignity’s leaking on the floor
Because I’ve shown you the door
Get up and take some tissues
This isn’t helping anyone
I never planted any seeds
To make you think I’d meet your needs
You’re being so irrational
There are no apologies from me
And now it’s time for you to go
Don’t need no dog and pony show
Why must you make this so much harder
Than it really needs to be
I am not the place for you to park your hopes and dreams
I am not your one true love
Don’t try to trap me in your schemes
I told you right from the start
That I would only break your heart
And now you’re sifting through the ashes
Looking for another start
I know I told you the truth
At least I didn’t waste your youth
You better find yourself a surgeon
To fix your broken heart
To fix your broken heart

You always have to have the last word
Never stop to think about who you’ve hurt
Kept me walking on eggshells so long
Can’t really tell if I’m right or I’m wrong
I remember that it wasn’t always this way
But then... Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly everything changes
You’re not the man I thought I knew at all
Something twisted up in your mind
Tho I’ve never been nothing but kind
But suddenly, suddenly, suddenly everything’s gone
Walking around just like you’re shell shocked
But it’s just a war that’s in your head
Tell me what I can say that will prove
None of those voices are speaking the truth
Seems like yesterday you were loving, happy and free
But then Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly everything changes
You’re not the man I thought I knew at all
Something twisted up in your mind
Tho I’ve never been nothing but kind
But suddenly, suddenly, suddenly everything’s gone
I wear the scars of your dark reason
I wear long sleeves despite the season
But you say you’ll die if I leave
If you did it might be a relief
How did we go from loving to having your blood on my hands
Seems like Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly everything changes
You’re not the man I thought I knew at all
Something twisted up in your mind
Tho I’ve never been nothing but kind
But suddenly, suddenly, suddenly everything’s gone
The flashing lights
The paperwork
Signing my name ‘cause you’re berserk
Cleaning your blood up off the floor
Mama, I can’t take it anymore
My freedom offers no redemption
Was I the victim of deception
Kept me tied to you far too long
Never saw things going so wrong
Can I ever think of the good times again
Because Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly everything changes
You’re not the man I thought I knew at all
Something twisted up in your mind
Tho I’ve never been nothing but kind
But suddenly, suddenly, suddenly everything’s gone
Everything's gone
Everything's gone

Rain (Album Edit)

Let my tears rain down in my soul
Your passing’s left a gaping hole
Where my heart used to be
Til you went away from me
Let my tears rain down in my soul
We always thought we’d have the time
We’d be together ’til the end of the line
But life’s a speeding train
And it don’t stop for anything
We always thought we’d have the time
Everything we’d ever hoped
Lost in a tidal wave
Everyone I ever loved
Lies six feet in a grave
Let your music mend my heart
It’s all I have now we’re apart
Death is a vicious thief
Stole you and left me only grief
Let your music mend my heart
Everything we’d ever hoped
Lost in a tidal wave
Everyone I ever loved
Lies six feet in a grave
Let my tears rain down in my soul
Your passing’s left a gaping hole
Where my heart used to be
Til you went away from me
Let my tears rain down in my soul
Let my tears rain down in my soul
Let my tears rain down in my soul

Streetlight

I saw you lit by winter street light
Waiting for the show
The marquee promised rock and roll
From our long ago
You said that you were skeptical
Of seeming miracles
I thought I sensed some magic
But then you / had to go
We talked all through the springtime
The whole summer and the fall
We must have heard a thousand songs
We saw them play them all
I could only dream of loving you
And having you to hold
Always wondering if you felt /the music in my soul
Well, I’ve been some crazy places
And I’ve suffered lots of fools
I’ve been the cause of street fights
And I’ve broken lots of rules
Still one thing was missing
Wherever I did roam
But all of that came clear to me
When you said, “welcome home”
I knew there was no other place for me
But in your arms
Deep inside I felt you were
the shelter from my storms
You hit me like an avalanche
love wouldn’t be denied
There’s no place I’d rather be
Than right here/ by your side
I never thought I’d find a home
Always destined just to roam
Suddenly this funny thing
Made me want to fold my wings
And nestle in your arms
You never gave a hint that you
Felt the same way as me
I thought it best to take my leave
We weren’t meant to be
Later in the station
I was running for my train,
Someone yelled “I love you”
There you were - calling my name
Well, I’ve been some crazy places
And I’ve suffered lots of fools
I’ve been the cause of street fights
And I’ve broken lots of rules
Still one thing was missing
Wherever I did roam
But all of that came clear to me
When you said, “welcome home”
Everything came clear to me
When you said, “welcome home
“Welcome home”, “welcome home”, “welcome home

Maybe Madame Marie knows what it means
When all of a sudden you change your routine
Tell me, baby, should I get Vaseline
Cos from where I’m sitttin’
That’s how it seems
Maybe history won’t repeat itself this time
Though I’ve noticed it always seems to rhyme
Hope I see it coming, it don’t catch me blind
Unlike the Coast line this train always runs on time!
Feels like déjà vu will get the best of me
When I see what could pass it’s not your face I see
It’s so hard not to hold you in my history
Cos I feel déjà vu is comin’ for me
You know my story-know where I’ve been
My internal alarms always causing a din
Shouldn’t be too surprised if your patience is thin
The places I’m broken may be too hard to mend
Round and around my mind can’t stop
Waiting for Damocles’ sword to drop
Expecting our shiny balloon to pop
What can I even do to make this carousel
Ever stop
The road ahead looks like the road behind
I beg your indulgence for my troubled mind
Guess I lost my innocence on Highway nine
Don’t know who to trust - it’s my flawed design
This ain’t the place I want to be
You aren’t the one that’s broken me
But it’s so hard not to hold you in his history
When I feel déjà vu is coming for me
Feels like déjà vu will get the best of me
When I see what could pass it’s not your face I see
It’s so hard not to hold you in my history
Cos I feel déjà vu is comin’ for me
Like a crumpled up picture in my old blue jeans
That shows me the things that I’ve previously seen
I already know what your behavior means
Cos déjà vu always comes back —for me
Yeah déjà vu always comes back
For me
Yeah I know déjà vu is comin’ back — for —meeee
