Let's Be Easy

Come closer, baby
Like you're supposed to, baby
I won't leave you standing stranded
Lonely and abandoned.
I know this thing inside me
Makes you want to scream
All I want to do is to hear you say "Uh, uh, uh, uh"
Don't worry 'bout it, baby
I got it locked down
If your doubts get in the way you know I'll burn the block down
Skin to skin going round for round
Tonight I take my shirt off and I'm fighting for you
Oh but let's be easy/let's be easy/let's be easy (rpt.)

All Over Me

The rain that she makes drowns out the thunder/And I stay inside of her most of the time
I will not break this year I promise/She fuel the fire, she put it out.
And Dreams
Dream
Wherever you want to be that's where you are
Go on and shiver and shake and topple like timber/when I sing my chainsaw melodies
How many nights have I spent with my body burnin'/Long for your touch me deeper than skin
And Dreams
Will come for you
Dream
Wherever you want to be that's where you are
And I was bred to be a dancer/maybe this is how we pray
I won't pretend to know the answer/there are words we cannot say
And ever since I was a baby wrapped up in my father's arms/Going back to where I came from/Huh and you carry me with your weight upon my body/ With your weight upon my body
So sneak in the back, slowly surround me/Or kick in the front door/ Just come baby come
Electricity dancing all through my bedroom/So silent and beautiful just like my tongue/Like my tongue
And dream
Right here with me
Dream
Wherever you ought to be that's where you are
Wherever you ought to be that's where you are
All over me
All over me

Irresponsible

Don't leave me here in this model chick's apartment/You can't quit you started it
And though I've been workin' out my body will break in between your lips and my lips I can't tell the difference
It's been a long week and you're too tired to cry/And you need someone to carry you
Would I be irresponsible if I put your lips in my mouth?/Would I be reckless if I let your dress hit the ground?/All your joy and pain fade into nothing/All your joy and pain fade into light
When you're strung out and strange/We're one and the same
I feel you in my veins/Jaqueline Grey
And you know and you know...
Though I've been working out my body will break in between your lips and my lips I can't tell the diffference
Would I be irresponsible if I put your lips in my mouth?/Would I be reckless if I let your dress tumble down?/ All your joy and pain fade into nothing/All your joy and pain fade into light

All My Lovers

Hey my heart's been sinking like a heavy stone/I finally found the strength I need to be alone
And hey you know I'd stay, Desiree if I could but/You're drowning me in fountains of I wish you woulds
It's gonna be a long three months now/Sending you messages in bottles/All your good intentions just made me slow/I've been singing songs with Jesus/Going back to where I came from
And hey summer found me shipwrecked off the eastern shore/To be honest with you, baby, I don't want no more/Of kissing Walt Whitman in the pale moonlight/Breakin' my body trying to get it right
It's gonna be a long three months now/sending you messages in bottles/and all of my intentions just made me slow/and I've been singing songs with Jesus/going back to where I came from
And nights I spend in Italy/with all the weight of all my lovers/All my lovers/All my lovers

Honey you've got the most beautiful body/You got the legs/You've got the legs
Your man got insecurity/your man got money to burn
Your husband's on business in some other town/Don't it feel good to be messin' around
Someone's been creeping out your back door....
Honey you've got my golden arms around you/And you're kissin' my neck/It's hot so we sweat
Quite is kept/Quite is kept
So go to sleep Mary Ann/Go to sleep Mary Ann/Go to sleep Mary Ann/Go to sleep Mary Ann

Baby Blue
04:27
|

|
Baby often drifts into sunlight rainbow afternoons/play in the water
It's alright to sit/get some rest/if you're not there I'll come back tomorrow
She's reminding me of the ocean/baby blue and I can't remember/ever felt this this/I mean never
It's all good nothing really matters
We both fall with arms wide open/let the waves wash over me/we'll go as far as we can take it/it all falls down barely naked

|
Maybe languid arms/maybe summer dress/maybe it's your jeans lying on the floor
All the little things got into my skin/tearing me apart/but it's beautiful I guess
I think it's alright/I think it's okay when the sun is coming up through the curtains that you made/on your calender babies laugh and play/One day we will have our own/ well...well...
Dance around the bar/Oh smoke your cigarettes/ Oh you got your mom's good looks and you got your daddy's records.
Flowers, open windows/lazy summer street/ Ah man, I felt like dancing/and I felt like dancing
I think it's alright/Oh I mean it feels okay when the sun is coming up through the curtains that you made/on your calender babies laugh and play/one day we will have our own/one day we will have our own
