Puppet
Paper doll
How they want you
Lap dog
Copy cat
What’s it brought you
Counting on the days
To help you forget
That chasing the crowd just gets you
Caught up with regret

Make it take an army to back you down
‘Cause life’s marching on it’s not waiting ‘round
So get up, get off it, and break some ground
Make your own revolution

Aren’t you sick of being
Sick and tired
Wallflower how’d you get so
Uninspired
Soapbox hidden underneath your bed
So wise up voodoo child
And wake the dead

Make it take an army to back you down
‘Cause life’s marching on it’s not waiting ‘round
So get up, get off it, and break some ground
Make your own revolution

You only get one trip
‘Til your December
So come on elephant
What will you remember

Make it take an army to back you down
‘Cause life’s marching on it’s not waiting ‘round
So get up, get off it, and break some ground
Make your own revolution

There is a secret that is sleeping
Restlessly upon my tongue
My pretty secret has me keeping
Recklessly ‘round everyone

Yeah I should be
Sorry me
Yeah I should be
Sorry me
Oh so sorry

And you could say I’m far too happy
Too much so for to write this song
And I’ll agree I’m far too happy
Even though I’ve done nothing wrong

‘Cause I should be
Sorry me
Why should I should be
Sorry me
Oh so sorry

I’ve been the girl
Wearing the World
But it’s over
Finally see
It’s not all on me
So it’s over

Guilt fits like my favorite sweater
But freedom looks better on me

So I won’t be
Sorry me
No I won’t be
Sorry me
Oh so sorry

Ring around my heart
Pocketful of scars

Love me do, Forget me not
Played out just like an afterthought
‘Cause I’ll always be your leftover girl

And I think
Maybe
Next year and
Maybe
When will I say
Maybe
Is not good enough

Strung me up in lights
And I see tonight

That you’re not listening anyway
You’re thinking of what you should say
You do the least you can for your leftover girl

And I think
Maybe
Next year and
Maybe
When will I say
Maybe
Is not good enough

I always jump without a sign
No parachute or alibi
And then fall short to find I’m not the girl I dreamed I’d be and

Love me do, Forget me not
Played out just like an afterthought
So I’m through being your leftover girl

I don’t want / So don’t give me
Maybe
Next year and
Maybe
‘Cause I think that
Maybe
Is not good enough

Complicated crush of mine
Esoteric valentine

Oh, how you make me crazy
Oh, how you make me crazy

I could break before the bough
I’m so far out on it now

Oh, how you make me crazy
Oh, how you make me crazy

No I can’t fight an earthquake
Or hide from a heartache
And you make the world shake
So I surrender
And if easy is boring
Then you’re so very alluring
I spy a wreck of a mess come to tangle with me

Oh, how you make me crazy
Go on and make me crazy

Started writing all my dreams in pencil
Makes it easy when they let me down
Started marking my words with a stencil
Make too much noise and they will flush you out-out-out-out

How they love shooting down birds that dare to fly too high
I’ll be the cagey bird scared to try

I’ll be the girl with the heart tainted yellow
Braving it under my safest umbrella
Stuffing my pig full of pennies in vain
Saving my soul up and waiting for rain

They will put you down when you’re the top cat
And pick you up when you’re the underdog
So all the nice girls learn to hold themselves back
Got good at getting in my way because-cause-cause-cause

How they love shooting down birds that dare to fly too high
I’ll be the cagey bird scared to try

I’ll be the girl with the heart tainted yellow
Braving it under my safest umbrella
Stuffing my pig full of pennies in vain
Saving my soul up and waiting for rain

Oh say can you see
One more casualty

I’ll be the girl with the heart tainted yellow
Braving it under my safest umbrella
Stuffing my pig full of pennies in vain
Saving my soul up and waiting for rain

(Na-Na-Na-Na)

I’ll be the girl with the heart tainted yellow
Braving it under my safest umbrella
Stuffing my pig full of pennies in vain
Saving my soul up and waiting for rain

Billy lives like a crazy, lazy one night stand
Billy loves by outfoxing your best bluffing hand
Billy’s heart is a closet packed with skeletons
Haunting him like the halfway house of might have been

Oh Billy, Oh Billy,
It’s a last ditch tourniquet and
Oh Billy, Oh Billy,
When it comes down to it well
Oh Billy, Oh Billy
You’re just so full of shit that
Oh Billy, They found you out

Billy’s sitting and waiting for the tide again
Fishing for blame he’ll complain that his ship won’t come in
And he’ll cry you a river so deep you can drown
In the water under the bridges he’s burned down

Oh Billy, Oh Billy,
It’s a last ditch tourniquet and
Oh Billy, Oh Billy,
When it comes down to it well
Oh Billy, Oh Billy
You’re just so full of shit that
Oh Billy, They found you out

Billy bitched like a baby
He bitched to get by
It’s easier pointing fingers
Than it is to try

Oh Billy, Oh Billy,
It’s a last ditch tourniquet and
Oh Billy, Oh Billy,
When it comes down to it well
Oh Billy, Oh Billy
You’re just so full of shit that
Oh Billy, They found you out

So, the world has come tumbling down
Without ever making a sound
It all fell to pieces

And here, under the weight of the stars
Where wishes have all become scars
I’m falling to pieces

But still
You keep me still
You keep me still
Baby

I found this in the slipping away
That losing is sometimes okay
‘Cause we all fall to pieces

And through the madness and trouble there’s grace
As sure as when I see your face
So I know what peace is

And still
You keep me still
You keep me still
Baby

You make me want to try
You make me want to try
You make me want to try
When you say
Shine

And still
You keep me still
You keep me still
Baby

Hey Mary
Concetta
How does your
Love Grow

Some flour
Some sugar
Some kind of
Magic Show

Loud Music
Pours out of
The kitchen
Radio

You’re dancing
You’re singing
Your kind of hello

Mary full of grace
Gave it all away

Hey Mary
Concetta
Cowboys shot the
TV

Let Perry
Solve it so
We can holiday with
Audrey

Can you still hear the show
Up in the balcony
Did I tell you enough just
What you mean to me

Mary full of grace
Gave it all away

Even with all those Birthdays
You didn’t let one get away
Tell me what you were wishing for
Underneath those fiery eyes

Mary full of grace
Gave it all away

__________________________________________

You came calling fascination
Rushing through like you were blessed
With silver wings

You came calling me salvation
Redeemed me for favors
To get what you need

But you wasted
Everything
Once you tasted
Glory
In your race to
Be something
Special, special, special

Mercury, what have you done
Mercury, taken by the sun

You blame miscommunication
But your message seems to be
Getting through

You blame all the constellations
‘Cause you can’t take it
When it falls on you

‘Cause you wasted
Everything
Once you tasted
Glory
In your race to
Be something
Special, special, special

Mercury, what have you done
Mercury, taken by the sun

If you could get a little closer
You could burn a little brighter
Nothing is ever free
That’s what you proved to me
Everything
Came with strings
And now I see clearly

Mercury, what have you done
Mercury, taken by the sun

She’s been calling save me
And wishing on neon signs
She’s been calling save me
But she’s got no one on the line

Sometimes
Hope shines
Like fool’s gold
And fireflies
And sometimes
She finds
It’s this or nothing

He’s been playing hero
Looking for redemption there
He’s been playing hero
But he hasn’t got a prayer

Sometimes
Hope shines
Like fool’s gold
And fireflies
And sometimes
He finds
It’s this or nothing

Let some hope out
Let some hope out
Oh, Pandora
Let some hope out
To the lonely ones

Sometimes
Hope shines
Like fool’s gold
And fireflies
And sometimes
You find
It’s this or nothing
