SEASON EYES WERE BEAMING
JUST BENEATH THE CHORDS
Notice
how the hand that touches is full of needles
but you don’t feel them Notice
how you never feel it
how you never see it
until you pass it
you don’t need a key
to know me and my thorns
you will find me
just beneath the chords
it was given to me
and I couldn’t love anything more it was given to me
Notice
how the star that shines us
it burns and blinds us
wherever we move
notice how you love the blindness the burn reminds you
that you can feel too
you just need to sleep
to know me
to know more
you will find me just beneath the chords it was given to me
and I couldn’t love anything more it was given to me
and I couldn’t love anything more it was given to me
FRANKIE
Frankie when will we stop picking men who push us away from them
we love the unlovable ones
great distance
and then we’re safe
no one escapes
cause no one gets in and we feel like we win
what happens to the girls born into a dark little world born into a war
only one thing you’re good for
so you prove them wrong and show them you’re strong that you don’t need love
and you can hurt yourself better than anyone else
Frankie will we be alone til the end
I wish I could think something different you know the men we adore
only one thing they’re good for
the unfortunate ones
get hurt when they’re young
and then they hurt someone else or they just hurt themselves
and that’s what we do Frankie me and you
A THOUSAND BEES
how sweet is the revenge
when you don’t want it anymore how meaningless the defense when you’re not fighting anymore
I’ve given up the wanting how it seems to want me still like lovers wanting others dancing up the lovers hill
photographs, beautiful photographs can’t go back can’t take it back photographs, beautiful photographs can’t go back can’t take it back
to see a younger girl like me with eyes all wild and wandering will she awaken just like me
a thousand bee stings covering a heart that doesn’t even beat
you stung me, you stung me you stung me, you stung me you stung me, you stung me you stung me, you stung me
photographs, beautiful photographs can’t go back can’t take it back everything, I told you everything can’t go back can’t take it back photographs, beautiful photographs can’t go back can’t take it back
how sweet is the revenge
when you don’t want it anymore
NEW YORK
I came here, I waited
to see it, to say this
what started on fourth street is finished is finished
I came back to see it through new eyes and feel it
I waited all night
on boards by the waterside
I had a dream you went to New York you found new friends
you had new work
I wasn’t there but I came to visit
we sat on the bridge and talked of the difference
we spoke of the long ago
promised each other we’d never get old but that was a whole life ago
and now I’m on my own
I came here, to see it
through new eyes and feel it
I waited all night on boards by the waterside
I had a dream you went to New York you found new friends
you had new work
I wasn’t there but I came to visit
I slept on your floor watched the wind in the curtains
maybe it’s enough to know I never walk alone
I get by on my own
I’ll always be my only home
I came here, I waited to see it
To say this
what started on fourth street is finished
OLD FRIENDS
(Written by Simon & Garfunkel)
SEASONED EYES WERE BEAMING
I was born a warrior
I came out in Shining armor I fought the great war
won the medal
and I even had the biggest dream and I even got it half achieved
I almost heard them
the ones who told me
forget the dream and let it go let it go let it go
I almost did I almost did
something carried me that night
I know that it was you
I tried to draw it to see the lines but nothing would come through all you ever needed was you
the only one that let you down
you
now you’ve grown and you are logical
you forget that anything is possible dismissing all who, remind you you’re not true so you cling to anything you can
it is all according to the new plan
I hope your lucky
and something takes you back again
something carried me that night
I know that it was you
tried to draw it to see the lines but nothing would come through I remember needing life I thought it needed me
something only in young eyes
a seasoned eye won’t see
I wore rings and roses even
seasoned eyes were beaming
you
something carried me that night I know that it was you carried me back to my young eyes
you
ANIMALS
I wanna know, I gotta know
what are you made of, what are you made of
you never look me in the eye
I never see the inside of your eye
do you look at anyone, at anyone what are you made of
what are you made of
what kind of animal are we
I always knew you’d make a fool of me and I could never look you in the eye
you proved me right so do not ask me why
what kind of animal are we
I should have never let you in to me
but I never never learned to swim
until you came around and pushed me in
either in love or never in love always run away, always run away
you and I will never realize fleeting moments that pass by are all we ever have
either in doubt or never in doubt always run away, always run away
what kind of animal are we
I always knew you’d make a fool of me and I could never look you in the eye
you proved me right so do not ask me why
what kind of animal are we
I should have never let you in to me
but I never never learned to swim
until you came around and pushed me in
either in love or never in love always run away, always run away
I wanna know, I gotta know
what are you made of, what are you made of
TOUCHED
what do you see in her
in her, in her
what do you mean I’m touched it’s worse, it’s a curse
what do you need out there get back in there
what about the little chair
we play piano on
piano on
piano on
paranoid secrets
little dark secrets
reasons, no reasons
some will see, some will run do you love me, love me, do you really love me
mean to you
sorry too
why did I, why did you why did you
why did you
TELL ME HOW
I know we can talk about it later
And I know, nothing really to discuss I know that I got my little way of complicating us
and it is all I ever feel
like nothing good is ever real do you pretend the bad is good I know you do
I do it too
I know
that you’d never do me wrong babe
even though sometimes I wish you would cause I’m
really good at getting hurt babe
not so great at feeling good
and it is not for me to have maybe not always but for now my hand is always on my mouth telling me how
and it is all I ever feel
like nothing good is ever real
maybe just scream my name out loud drown it all out
tell me how
tell me how tell me how tell me how how
FOUNTAIN
fountain, fountain we are the same fountain, fountain we are the same
you with the water
and me the pain
turning it over again and again
don’t you wish you could throw your pennies back at them don’t you wish you could throw your pennies back at them back at them, at them
fountain, fountain we are the same fountain, fountain we are the same
all that anyone ever has for you
are the things you reflect back to them
don’t you wish you could throw your pennies back at them don’t you wish you could throw your pennies back at them back at them, at them
fountain, fountain
we are the same
fountain, fountain
we are the same
it is so beautiful how you remain
