ALOHA
Wiedlin/Straccia
Is it something I said?
Every day I swallow my feet
Now that I'm here
Don't know how to be me
The haters around
Are on the attack
If I let em hug me
They'll bury knives in my back
And I do understand
They'd rather I not speak
I'm supposed to be silent
I'm supposed to be meek
But I have spent a lifetime
Learning not to be Learning not to be
I don't want to die alone
Three thousand miles from nowhere
A million miles from home
ALOHA: HELLO ALOHA: GOODBYE
ALOHA: I LOVE YOU
I KISS YOU I KISS YOU YOU KILL ME
I KISS YOU I KISS YOU YOU KILL ME
Fire ants and Iceheads
Coming to take me down
You'll get eaten alive here
My big mouth is not allowed
Let the gentle breezes
And tropical scent
Comfort you
And cover up the stench
Of everything everything A
That's rotten here
And everyone
That's twisted and bent
Cuz I have spent a lifetime
Trying not to be Trying not to be
I don't want to die alone
Three thousand miles from nowhere
A million miles from home
ALOHA: HELLO ALOHA: GOODBYE
ALOHA: I LOVE YOU
I KISS YOU I KISS YOU YOU KILL ME A
I KISS YOU I KISS YOU YOU KILL ME
ALOHA: I LOVE YOU
I KISS YOU I KISS YOU YOU KILL ME
I KISS YOU I KISS YOU YOU KILL ME
I KISS YOU I KISS YOU YOU KILL ME
GOODBYE

RABBIT STEW
Jane Wiedlin/Pietro Straccia
I fell into a hole
Rabbit stew didn't know what to do
Asleep Awake
Dreams crowded
With conversation and dates of expiration
Floored the ground below my feet
Melts feelings
Black and blue again
Cracked ceiling
Beyond the glass door
Guess I'll stick around a little more
Outside the window the water's cold
And my heart is growing mold
ASLEEP AWAKE
SURROUNDED BY BLUE
DREAMS AWAKEN
DECADES OF YOU
Diamond dogs die
I drink and I cry
The neighbors fight
And it's like this every night
And outside the window the water's cold
And my heart keeps growing mold
Beyond the glass door
Guess I'll stick around a little more
Guess I'll stick around
ASLEEP AWAKE
SURROUNDED BY BLUE
DREAMS AWAKEN DECADES OF YOU
Oh I fell into a hole
Oh I Oh I
Oh I fell into a hole
Oh I oh I

MAIL ORDER BRIDE
Jane Wiedlin/Pietro Straccia
Do it do it
I do I do
My constant companion
Always beside me my little bunnybun
My hand you so tightly hold
Cuz yours is always so cold
You're so tiny but you talk so loud
How can it be that no one else hears you
Always demanding:
Do it do it
I do I do
Never leaving my side
My lovely bride
You've delivered your invite to Heaven
Each day since I was eleven
Why do you lie to us
With your fairytales of Jesus
Promising good times ahead
When we are the dead
Never leaving my side
My Mail Order Bride
My sweet bride
Do it do it
I do I do
Why dont you show your face I try and try
To dig you out of your base but you're too deep inside
Yeah you play seek and hide
And though I cut with great haste
I could never get to that place
You've delivered your invite to Heaven
Each day since I was eleven
Why dont you lift your veil
So coy with your skin so pale
Promising good times ahead
When we are the dead
Never leaving my side
My Mail Order Bride
Always by my side
My sweet bride
My sweet bride

Love Me At A Distance

LOVE ME AT A DISTANCE
Pat McDonald
Love me at a distance
Love me from afar
I'll love you forever
Wherever you are
Love me at a distance
Though I can't be there
It's nice having someone
In the world somewhere
I'm wishing you everything
Money, luck and fun
A girlfriend, a boyfriend
I'll be either one
Potential disappointment
Is a bird in the hand
Who'll say what you want to hear
Sings on demand
I'd rather be your long lost secret love
This mystery fits me like a glove
Love the idea of me
Love the idea of me
I offer no resistance
No strain upon your strength
Love me at a distance
And I'll love you at length
Love me like an ex
So cold and so far gone
Call me from Mexico
And play me like a song
Call me your long lost secret love
This mystery fits me like a glove
Love the idea of me
Love the idea of me
Love the idea of me
And fuck the reality
Love me at a distance
Love me from afar
And I'll love you forever
Wherever you are
Love me at a distance
Though I can't be there
It's nice having someone
In the world, in the world, in the world
Somewhere

BRITTLE
Jane Wiedlin/Pietro Straccia
Standing on the edge of a cliff
It's unstable it's unstable
Trying to find a purpose to purchase
I'm unable unable
AND IT FEELS LIKE I'M LOSING
CONTROL OF ILLUSION
CONTROL OF ILLUSION
When I was a girl I could breathe
Above water, underwater
When I was a girl I could fly
Like every daughter, every daughter
AND IT FEELS LIKE I'M LOSING
CONTROL OF ILLUSION
IT FEELS LIKE I'M LOSING
CONTROL OF ILLUSION
THERE WERE BUMPS
AND I FELT THEM ALL
NOT JUST A LITTLE
WITH EVERY JUMP
WHAT WAS TOUGH
BECAME BRITTLE
Everywhere is poisoned beauty
All the world is set on fire
And I would be with other people
Who desire my desires
Now I'd rather be alone
But I'm unable I'm a liar
AND IT FEELS LIKE I'M LOSING
CONTROL OF ILLUSION
IT FEELS LIKE I'M LOSING
CONTROL OF ILLUSION
NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH
CONTROL OF ILLUSION
NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH
CONTROL OF ILLUSION
NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH
NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH
NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH

STOP, DROP & SWALLOW
Jane Wiedlin/Pietro Straccia
Here's something for the pain
Time to climb aboard again
Hide what is yours and follow
It's okay, stop drop and swallow
You don't really need to be a man
I don't feel the need to show my hand
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE A BRIGHT YOUNG THING
I DON'T REMEMBER I DON'T REMEMBER
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BELIEVE IN ANYTHING
I DON'T REMEMBER I WONT REMEMBER
For a day of solitude
Would you promise a change in attitude
For just one dreamless night
Would you tear your clothes
And everything in sight
HIDE WHAT IS YOURS AND FOLLOW
IT'S OKAY, STOP DROP AND SWALLOW
You don't really need to be a man
I don't feel the need to show my hand
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE A BRIGHT YOUNG THING
I DON'T REMEMBER I DON'T REMEMBER
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BELIEVE IN ANYTHING
I DON'T REMEMBER I CANT REMEMBER
HIDE WHAT IS YOURS AND FOLLOW
IT'S OKAY, STOP DROP AND SWALLOW

BLISS
Jane Wiedlin/Pietro Straccia
That flea of a cat
Tearing up the mess in my house again
This house
twenty feet away from some dangerous friends
My friends
Keep changing like a nonstop turnstyle
Not sold
on the width, depth or breadth of that smile
I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS
I THOUGHT I WAS CHASING MY BLISS
That cat
Is a harbinger of doom
My friends
Are camping out in every room
This house
Take out the trash, no I gotta crash
Not sold
This was supposed to be a deal
Sans cash
I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS
(They said it would be magnificent)
I THOUGHT I WAS CHASING MY BLISS
(They said it would be transcendent)
I THOUGHT I WAS CHASING MY BLISS
(They said it would be magnificent)
But who
Who made their bed?
Yeah, you
You made your bed
And now comes the time
To lie lie lie in it
And that's what you get for your folly
Work on your poker face, dolly
I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS
(They said it would be magnificent
I THOUGHT I WAS CHASING MY BLISS
(They said it would be transcendent)
NO I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS
(They said it would be magnificent)
I THOUGHT I WAS CHASING MY BLISS
(They said it would be transcendent)

NIGHTBLIND
Jane Wiedlin/Pietro Straccia
I can't see in the dark
Steering the car in the blind
Hoping the road stays straight
Because narrow is the pathway
Moving gaily forward
You better go man
Get your feet off the ground
Stick your head in the clouds
Pour your mind in the gutter
Clear your thoughts
Clear your thoughts
Nobody knows you’re night blind
Till you hit a kid
Till you drive off a cliff
Nobody knows you’re night blind
Till it’s too late maybe
I'll pray to a god that don't exist
Pray to a god that don't exist
You better go man
Get your feet off the ground
Stick your head in the clouds
Pour your mind in the gutter
Clear your thoughts of clutter
You better go man
Get your feet off the ground
Stick ,your head in the clouds
Pour your mind in the gutter
Free your thoughts
Free your thoughts
Clear your thoughts
Clear your thoughts
Clear your thoughts
Nobody knows
Till it's too late too late
You gotta go man go
Cuz it's too late too late
Nobody knows
Till it's too late too late
You gotta go man go
Cuz it's too late too late

LOST AT SEA
Jane Wiedlin/Pietro Straccia
I ran away on a boat
Across a big ole moat
Didn't you know?
I kicked you out and swore you off
You bug me like a scratchy cough
Didn't you know?
ANOTHER SKY-FILLED MORNING
YOU COULD SHARE WITH ME
I'M NOT ALONE
BUT LONELY
I'M LOST AT SEA
The scope was pointed straight ahead
A new wave hit me instead
It was so dumb
I'm down here lost at sea
You stayed up there in The Peaks
You didn't come
I'M OUT OF SONGS
AND LONGING
FOR BEAUTY
GETTING NOWHERE SLOWLY
I'M LOST AT SEA
ANOTHER SKY-FILLED MORNING
YOU COULD SHARE WITH ME
I'M NOT ALONE
BUT LONELY
I'M LOST AT SEA
And this mistake
What has it taught?
A bird in love
The hand is blind
Time marches on
This ain't much fun
Aphorisms roll off my tongue
Enough cliches to pen a play
Cold comfort to the mind
There is no time
When it is fun
This dilemma makes me feel numb
It all comes from a place of love
It should come from a place of love
Well, it MOSTLY comes from a place of love

THE NEXT NIGHT
Jane Wiedlin/Pietro Straccia
When everything is hurting
And every single minute ticks like hours
When you can't seem to settle
Even though you've run out of all power
Worn, your will is gone
But you still go on
Just remember
IT MAKES THE NEXT NIGHT EASIER
TILL THE NEXT NIGHT
You’re so tired you're decomposing
Your janky limbs would kill to be reposing (decomposing)
The monkey mind is spinning
It feels like you'll never be not in it (decomposing)
Soon the light will hit where you lay
You'll drag your sorry ass out of bed
Somehow you'll get through the day
Like the dead
Worn, your will is gone
But you still go on
Just remember
IT MAKES THE NEXT NIGHT
EASIER
TILL THE NEXT NIGHT
GETS EASIER
THE NEXT NIGHT
TILL THE NEXT NIGHT
THE NEXT NIGHT
