Single On Sunday (SOS)

Bright lights, small city
devil's playground and I feel needy
consumed one day, a week
wallowing in self pity

Single on sunday
sending out an SOS across the land
Single on sunday
watching couples as they walk hand in hand
Single on Sunday
I can only think of  one demand

morningtime, alone I wake
hug my pillows, a deep breath is what I take
who will read the news with me
sitting around in our PJs?

Single On Sunday
sending out an SOS across the land
Single On Sunday
watching couples as they walk hand in hand
Single On Sunday
this hourglass has only one grain of sand

Monday is monotony
Tuesday is tough
Wednesday I'm waiting
Thursday's thoroughly rough
Friday is final
Saturday sucks
Haven't I been single long enough?

Ordering, take out
spitting the fortune cookie with the dog
drifting off to sleep
under a cozy blanket of fog

Single On Sunday
sending out an SOS.
across the land
Single On Sunday
watching couples as they walk Hand in hand
Single On Sunday
I can only think of one demand
Cause I'm Single On Sunday
this hourglass has only one grain of sand

Uncertainly Certain

My pants are inside out
my thoughts are in reverse
the chorus of this song
has become another verse
I married lady luck
but she's more of a curse
progression is backwards
my purity's perverse

I'm certain I'm certain
I'm certainly wrong
Uncertainly certain
But I'm certain that I'm wrong

this move was a good thing
but it feels completely wrong
drowning desperation
inside of my own bong
pulling left to right
the current is so strong
so what's left and who's right
when you're lost all along

Chorus

Can never get it straight
always curves back around
packed up and hit the road
and fled from my home town
drove across the country
and this is what I found
nothing can save you
from your own shakey ground

Chorus

Monica

We were only 16
when we met
first day of school
Bonnie and Clyde acting tough
trying to look cool
Skinnydipping in a thunderstorm
reckless growing pains
hit the bars and crashed the car
future in stains

Monica
wonder where you are
are you safe are you sound
are you found
Monica
Monica
You still feel so far
did you survive alive
are you underground
Monica

We said we had eyes like twins
double DNA strand
with one look or just a glance
and I would understand

Chorus

Been through 13 OCDs
4 people you helped me stalk
7 suicide attempts
5 outlined in challk
9 years the best of friends
6 years later and we don't talk
 why don't we talk?

I'll never forget christmas day 1998
I crossed your line
it was out of line
but now it's too late

Monica
Wonder where you are
are you safe are you sound?
are you lost are you found?
Monica
Monica, you still feel so far
did you strive to survive alive underground
Monica
Monica
Monica

Puzzle Pieces

This song is dedicated to you
you don't even know I exsist
I know we're still total strangers
but you're still the top of my list

I follow you, on down
A shadow sewn to your skin
I follow you around
I know just where you've been
It's not a sin, it's not wrong
Safety pinning puzzle pieces to belong

I'm laying in the rose bush
your window's my T.V. show
I'm stuck here staring all night
I have no where else to go

Chorus

Look out in the crowd
someone like you might be
trailed by someone, just like me

Turning your fact into fiction
And writing it on the wall

Chorus

Dear John,

This paper weighs
a thousand pounds
my muscles can't support, the tale it tells
I memeorize, the way you sound
I kept your shirt, memorized your smell

Dear John,
you're the one who's leaving me
Dear John,
In a letter so tears you won't see
Dear John,
You are my dear, John

I see my friends
and they ask me
What happened to the boy
I used to be

Chorus

I rub two sticks together
so I can burn your letter
do I feel worse?
or better?

Chorus

Loser

It's not easy being a loser
though I practice everyday
Must be striving for perfection
Cause I keep losing in every way
Even as a kid at recess
I won't win the games they play
They just call me loser (loser)
but baby that's O.K.

I'm a loser
everytime
I'm a loser
and I don't mind

Baby when I first met you
I thought you were the one
to take the "L" off my forehead
so I could see the sun
down at the casino
you were my lucky charm
I just kept on winning
with you on my arm

Chorus

You told me that you love me
You'd call me the next day
Dedicated love songs
then you drove away
I never got the phone call
you promised to make
I just kept on waiting
but that was my mistake

I'm a loser
everytime
I'm a loser
I don't mind
But you're a loser
Big time
Such a fuckin' loser
bigger than I

Hooker

Selling myself, working a trick
praying to the rent G-ds
I'm the one they pick
finding myself giving more than I should
G-d I need this job
help me if you could

I'm a Hooker, a hustler, a common whore
I know you understand what i'm doing this for
I can let you inside
that will cost you more
Eve turns to Jezebel
at the apple core

Telling myself
"these are dues that you pay
for being a superstar with radio play"
Pimping myself in a popular way
These ain't the songs I wrote
or what I meant to say

Chorus

Ladies and gentlemen
presenting ME
I'll be your harlot
for a tiny fee

Waiting on myself for
my discovery
Peel away the onion
to uncover another me
Cause I'm a...

Chorus

Christmas Day 2000 and 4

Someone, broke into my car
Glass everywhere
Icy rain pouring down
and everything's closed
2 flat tires
a matching pair
a fever of 100 and 2

christmas day 2000 and 4
I look like death
Lonely and all alone
Horny, bloated and depressed
I've got 3 zits
that hurt like hell
and a cold sore, to boot

I'm not complaining
I'm only stating the truth
I'm luckily lucky
as breathing is proof
it could be worse, worse than this
Christmas Day 2000 and 4

Merry Christmas!

Butterfly

Sometimes,
these blessings are masked in disguise
tragedy
can mutate into the sweetest surprise
Nightmares,
turns into dreams that fly
Transition transforms
catapillers to butterflies

Butterfly
you paid the toll
to get by
crawled from a hole
to survive the storm's eye
Butterfly
the strongest soul
no one denies
crept from down low
now you fly so high
butterfly

Sometimes,
you have to be lost to be found
Time takes time
just long enough to come around
Relief,
comes after sorrow's drowned
a carrot seed
determined to bust from the swollen ground

Chorus

I brokedown at Land's End
threw my stuff into the tide
washed away my burden
Am I light enough to fly?

Sometimes,
old habits live hard inside
Rebirth,
happens when you let go and die

Chorus
