Tragic Girl

from Pinkerton Deluxe

When you kiss me

And say you love me

It makes me feel so good

I want to break down

And give in to you

I want to believe that you’re the one

You give me my pills

And sing a strange song

And all my hurting goes away

Start to drift off

With you beside me

I want to believe that you’re the one

Cry and cry and let it out

We have to face that it’s over now

Even as I anoint your door

I’m looking out for something more

Cry and cry, I’m crying, too

'Cause no one touches me like you do

I don’t want my mom to know

That I’ve been a dirty boy

I try my darndest to be a bastard

I want you to think that I don’t care

But I feel sorry and you’re so pretty

You start to cry and I kiss your mouth

Cry and cry and let it out

We have to face that it’s over now

Even as I anoint your door

I’m looking out for something more

Cry and cry, I’m crying, too

'Cause no one touches me like you do

I don’t want my mom to know

That I’ve been a dirty boy

You’re a tragic girl

You lead a tragic life

I’m just meant to be

Your latest tragedy

Ain’t no butterfly girl

This ain’t no butterfly love

I’m just meant to be

Your latest tragedy

I try my darndest to be a bastard

I want you to think that I don’t care

You’re so pretty and I feel sorry

You start to cry and I kiss your mouth

I don’t want my mom to know

That I’ve been a dirty boy

You’re a tragic girl

You lead a tragic life

I’m just meant to be

Your latest tragedy

Ain’t no butterfly girl

This ain’t no butterfly love

I’m gonna have to be

Your latest tragedy

Getting Up and Leaving

from Pinkerton Deluxe

My life is changing

And I'm feeling blue

The things I wished for

Have come true

Stop

I really really wanna go back

Back to where I belong

Now I'm getting up and leaving

I'm leaving home

Now I'm getting up and leaving

I'm leaving home

Don't write no music

Don't read no books

Don't call my baby

On the phone

Stop

I really really wanna go back

Back to where I belong

Stop

I really really wanna go back

Back to where I came from

Now I'm getting up and leaving

I'm leaving home

Now I'm getting up and leaving

I'm leaving home

Now I'm getting up, now I'm getting up

Now I'm getting up and leaving

(Now I'm getting up, now I'm getting up)

Now I'm leaving

Longtime Sunshine

from Pinkerton Deluxe

Sometimes I wanna pack it all up, get on a bus and move to Vermont,

Or Maine, or any of those states back east that I remember.

Sometimes I wanna go back to school, an east coast college with some history.

I'd be satisfied, I know, in the simple things.

Longtime sunshine.

Longtime sunshine upon me.

Sometime I wanna build a house with a wood stove or a fire place.

In the middle of the living room an old piano.

Sometimes it don't seem so bad to settle down with a good woman;

Leave this lonely life behind forever, and ever.

Longtime sunshine.

Longtime sunshine upon me.

Goodbye friends, goodbye my girl, close my eyes as you fly away;

Keep on going 'til you get some place where you can truly rest.

Longtime sunshine.

Longtime sunshine upon me.

[Rivers]: Long time sunshine, long time sunshine upon me.

[Brian]: Why bother? It's gonna hurt me, it's gonna kill when you desert me.

[Matt]: He is in my eyes, he is in my ears, he is in my blood, he is in my tears.

[Falsetto Rivers]: No, there is no other one, no, there is no other one, can't have any other one, even though I would with one.

[Rivers]: Blast off! Up to the stars we go, and leave behind everything I use to know

Somebody's giving me a whole lot of money to do what I think I want to

So why am I still feeling blue? Oh Wuan and Dondo.

I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams

feating Rachel Haden from that.dog

from Pinkerton Deluxe

I'm so tall, can't get over me 

I'm so low, can't get under me 

I must be all these things 

For I just threw out the love of my dreams 

He's in my eyes, he is in my ears

He's in my blood, he is in my tears 

I breathe love and see him every day 

Even though my love is a world away 

Oh, he's got me wondering 

My righteousness is crumbling 

Never before have I felt this way 

I know what is right, but want for him to stay 

I must be made of steel 

For I just threw out the love of my dreams 

He's in my eyes, he is in my ears 

He's in my blood, he is in my tears 

I breathe love and see him every day 

Even though my love is a world away 

Oh, he's got me wondering 

My righteousness is crumbling 

Oh, he's got me wondering 

My righteousness is crumbling 

And I see him every day

Even though my love is a world away

He's in my eyes, he is in my ears

He's in my blood, he is in my tears 

I must be made of steel 

For I just threw out the love of my dreams 

Waiting On You

from Pinkerton Deluxe

Why haven't you called me?

Did you forget me?

I need to know

When were you intending

To break the silence

And let me know?

Mine is the loneliest of numbers

Now is the loneliest of times

You're 19 days late

But still I sit and wait, oh

Waiting and waiting

Waiting and waiting

Waiting and waiting

Waiting on you

Who have you been seeing

That made you forget me?

I bet you call him

Where, oh, where does he come from?

I bet he lives close by

I bet he's just a friend

Mine is the loneliest of numbers

Now is the loneliest of times

You're 19 days late

But still I sit and wait, oh

Waiting and waiting

Waiting and waiting

Waiting and waiting

Waiting on you

Waiting and waiting

Waiting and waiting

You got me waiting

Waiting on you

I asked you if you had a good heart

You answered "yes, I'll never do you harm" 

Devotion

from Pinkerton Deluxe

Suddenly our shortcomings

Don't seem to matter that much

Your IQ is twenty points low

And I'm no six-foot hot look all-American man

Sad to say

I pushed you away

Waiting for Mrs. Right

You never gave up devotion

Waiting for me

You'll always be my girlfriend

I too

Waiting for you

I'll always be your friend

I commend your stubborness

Without it we'd never got this far

I am done with perfection

Chasing her leaves me with nothing but pain

Unlike you

She isn't true

She's got her own concerns

You never gave up devotion

Waiting for me

you'll always be my girlfriend

I too

Waiting for you

I'll always be your friend

Devotion

Waiting for me

You'll always be my girlfriend

I too

Waiting for you

I'll always be your friend

You Gave Your Love to Me Softly

from Pinkerton Deluxe & Angus Soundtrack

You gave your love to me softly

I heard your heart beating true

Still your Bijon lingers on and on and on

You gave your love to me softly

When I'm feeling blue and lonely

All I have to do is think of you

We had just one night but it lingers on and on and on

You gave your love to me softly

La-la-la you sang to me

Baby, don't you cry

Put your arms around me child

And lay with me tonight

You gave your love to me softly

Whoa, la-la-la you sang to me

Baby, don't you cry

Put your arms around me child

And lay with me tonight

La-la-la

La-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

I Swear It's True

from The Blue Album Deluxe & Pinkerton Deluxe

It's been two and a half years now

That we've been apart

I've been kinda spaced out lately

Can't seem to get you out of my mind

I really miss you girl

I really do

You think I'm crazy but I swear it's true

You think that I've given up

found somebody new

but no girls got what you got

I belong to you

I really miss you girl

I really do

You think I'm crazy but I swear it's true

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Now stop

Yeah

I really miss you girl

I really do

You think I'm crazy but I swear it's true
