Out on my Own

I was a girl who just couldn't say no
I would watch as they'd come and go
They didn't care if they left me cold
They didn't care if they left me out in the cold
Out on my Own

As the years went by I learned not to cry
I walked away with my head held high
I can remember when I thought it was good
And I remember when they left me it was for good
Out on my Own

I thought I knew what I wanted, thought I got what I needed
thought I knew what I wanted, thought I got what I needed
She knew what she wanted
She got what she needed

I was the girl who tore up the streets
House on the hill was not my dream
I was the one who had to run free
Had to run wild, nobody running with me
Out on my Own

Repeat Paragraph #3

Just too Easy

How fair can I be?
How big's this mistake
You have a cigarette and I have a headache
Nothing makes me lonelier
Than a phone to you
You're waiting for nothing to be
Nowhere soon
Tomorrow you'll pick up the Sports Page, the Financial News
What escapes your attention is easily read
You look like you, think you'd be better off dead

But you, you're always fallin' apart
It was just too easy to break your heart

What's been paid for in misery's
Been brought back with luck
I ache for the truth like you
Break from my touch
The mirror I'm watchin' won't
Tell what to say, or how to
Explain that I'm going away
In a palace of lights that dim on command
the wind machine works to cool me again
From the top of the building, six flights up
I watched an impotent city, go up and you

Repeat Paragraph #2

I don't raise the shades
On the day that I'm leaving you
I don't wash the face that will say goodbye
I won't write a letter, I didn't meet you tat way,
but I hope you, know that I tried, 'cause you..
You're always fallin' apart
It was just too easy to break your heart.
It was just too easy to break your heart.

Billy's Birthday

I live in a small place, no pacing the hall
Radio and radiator I unplug the phone
Old friends sometimes call me
I write their numbers down
They aren't surprised when I don't
Call when I'm in town.
I guess I spend too, much time inside
Nobody's eyes on me, I only watch one soap opera
Well they can't catch me
Buses are crowded in the middle of the day,
I'd rather go alone to a matinee
but's it...
Billy's Birthday, tomorrow night
Billy's Birthday, Billy's Birthday, tomorrow night

It would not be right to miss it {Repeat Three Times}

It would not be right....
Everybody will be there.
Buses are crowded in the middle of the day
I'd rather go alone to a matinee,
but it's.....

Going to Neon

Six Days and One

I found out not a moment too late
The times that you said what you meant
We can fade to a close, choose a descent
'tween our hearts and the start of the line
And I find as I add up these long days
Without you
Distance equals loss, plus time.

Absence, and I've gone farther
Absence, and I've gone farther
Absence, and I've gone too far.
Feelings inside of us, facts and figures
Two hearts divided by irrational states
The best of our moments obscured by the clouds
As the heat of our love
Meets the rain of our hate
I found out not a moment too late
The times when you said what you meant
If forsaken abandoned to fate

Repeat Paragraph #2

Six days and one
One week now gone
One more to come
Six days and one
One week now gone
One more to come

Up another staircase, up another flight
Reach for the railing, angle toward the door
Escalator, stairway, board another flight
One last realization
I love you still more
Its hard to adhere to the changes in distance
'tween our hearts and the start of the line
And I find as I add up these days
Without you
Distance equals loss, plus time.

A Girl in Trouble (is a Temporary Thing)

She's got a face that shows what she knows
She's heard every line
Tenderly she talks on the phone
There's a way to walk that says
"Stay Away!", and a time
To go 'round the long way

A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
A girl in trouble is a temporary thing

There's a time when every girl learns, to use her head
Tears will be saved till they're better spent
There's no time for her to be afraid
So instead, she takes care of business
Keeps a cool head

Repeat Paragraph #2

Repeat Paragraph #1

Say No

You come to me with a photograph
"How long ago?" is the question, you ask
You've never known how to
Watch what you say
You ask for everything
A fire in the streets
the people we meet
as far from now
the dust and the heat
Is there something missing, now in our eyes?
Maybe it's just missing tonight

Say it ain't so, Say it ain't so, Say it ain't so
Were we ten years younger, five years ago?
Say no, Say no, Say no
Tell me one more time, one more, one less
Say no, Say no, Say no
When I'm like this

I'm sick of this heat and
I'm sick of the flack
And I'm sick that nothing can ever be planned
'cause I miss my life like I miss your eyes
I'm right by your side
a fire in the night
burning so bright
it happened so fast
at the speed of light
We looked, we leaped
we weren't waitin' to see
What wishes would last when light
Would leave

Repeat Paragraph #2

Your Life is a Lie

When a woman comes into your, line of sight
Automatically you gauge
How hard to try
What you say at home, is not the rule
On the road
(and I know it's a bluff in the morning you're so untouched)

I am what I say I am what I
say I am, what I say I am
I am what I say I am, what I say I am

Sniffing and snarling
the world is your playpin
You leave her hanging
You're a great silhouette
You cast a shadow
But you don't stand up to the light

Repeat Paragraph #2

Your life is a lie, its next to mine {Repeat Three Times}

Repeat Paragraph #2

Instincts

I don't trust my eyes
They're so easily swayed
Beauty is anxious to be seen, a certain way
To be soothing to conceal, the problems of the day
I don't trust my eyes

I trust your instincts
I get what you say
I trust your instincts
I'm goin' your way
I'm goin' with you
I'm goin' with you

Stealing sleep, I'm groggy in the afternoon
Feeling weak, I haven't met you
Too soon
When I know you've
Staggered upon my beliefs
It makes me want to try

Repeat Paragraph #2
