I need a sign To let me know you’re here All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere I need to know If things are gonna look up ‘Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup And there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head When you can feel the world shake From the words that I said And I’m calling all angels And I’m calling all you angels And I won’t give up if you don’t give up I won’t give up if you don’t give up I won’t give up if you don’t give up I won’t give up if you don’t give up I need a sign To let me know you’re here ‘Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear I want a reason for the way things have to be I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me And I’m calling all angels And I’m calling all you angels When children have to play inside So they don’t disappear While private eyes solve marriage lives ‘Cause we don’t talk for years And football teams are kissing queens And loosing sight of having dreams In a world alone Want is only what we want until it’s ours And I’m calling all angels And I’m calling all you angels (And I won’t give up if you don’t give up) And I’m calling all angels (I won’t give up if you don’t give up) And I’m calling all you angels (I won’t give up if you don’t give up) Callin all you angels (And I won’t give up if you don’t give up) Callin all you angels (And I won’t give up if you don’t give up) Callin all you angels (And I won’t give up if you don’t give up) |

To be that good, it must be taxin' No such thing as satisfaction You're makin' things happen while I'm relaxin' Like a Sunday afternoon My dad used to tell me I was lazy I got dance moves like Patrick Swayze I'm the left over turkey for the world's mayonnaisey The star next to the moon Now I know I'm just here to amuse you And I don't mean to abuse you But if I could just use you one time Tell me what it's like To be the queen of it all The Neiman Marcus of the Mall And tell me what it's like to be the one and only All American Girl Now I never had a supernatural feelin' Not to mention a sexual healin' But every now and then I get to the kneelin' To thank him for it all But you probably got some inside connection So many numbers that you gotta rolodex them So much muscle that you never gotta flex them To catch you when you fall And I know I'm just here to amuse you And I don't mean to confuse you But if I could just use you one more time Tell me what it's like to be the house on the hill The number one diet pill And tell me what it's like to be the one and only All American Girl Now I bet you won't say you get crazy Or that you don't shave your legs When you're lazy Or that you're just like everybody else in the world You just got lucky, that's all And I know you're not here to amuse me But you sure know how to confuse me So if I could just ask you once again To tell me what it's like to be a star on the rise A breakfast cereal prize And tell me what it's like to be the one and only All American Girl The All American Girl The all amazing crazy girl |

When it rains it pours and opens doors And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love That have to say goodbye And as I float along this ocean I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me And you make everything alright And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me And I can always find my way when you are here And every word I didn't say that caught up in some busy day And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn't dance before And every sunset that we'll miss I'll wrap them all up in a kiss And pick you up in all of this when I sail away Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plane overhead Instead it just feels like it is impossible to fly But with you I can spread my wings to see me over everything that life may send me When I am hoping it won't pass me by And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me there you are to show me |

Why you gotta treat me like I'm a low down dirty Climbin' up on thirty Dress like a kid to make me feel young punk And talk junk You musta fell out of your bunk And smacked your head Or your face or somethin' I don't need nobody flyin' in my jet stream Take the bus Go on and get yourself your own dream This is my own life keepin' me down Where I wanna be in my private nation I'm alone all thinkin' life's a phone call Here for just a while when in my private nation You can ride or you can go Why you gonna step on shoes When you don't know whose been in 'em Have you ever been more than a bump On a rock that likes to roll In the middle of a soup bowl in the sky Use your eyes It's all you got till you die I don't need nobody flyin' in my jet stream Take the bus Go on and get yourself your own dream You can ride on, it ain't free Leave a light on, so you can see How to get back when you go How to get, how to give How to make ends meet How to lose, how to win How to stay on the seat How to use momentum to keep the two wheels straight How to wait after it feels like you waited so long |

Well an airplane's faster than a Cadillac And a whole lot smoother than a camel's back But I don't care how you get to me Just get to me Parasail or first class mail Get on the back of a Nightingale Just get to me I don't care just get to me Prokeds, mopeds take a limousine instead They ain't cheap but they're easy to find Get on the highway point yourself my way Take a roller coaster that comes in sideways Just get to me - yeah Go on hitch a ride on the back of a butterfly There's no better way to fly To get to me I look around at what I got And without you, it ain't a lot But I got every, with you, everything Maybe you could pollinate over the Golden Gate Take a left hand turn at the corner Of Haight And then a sharp right At the first street light And get yourself on a motor bike And if you think you'll get stuck in a traffic jam That's fine, send yourself through a telephone line It doesn't matter how you get to me Just get to me Cause after every day The wind blows the night time my way And I imagine that you are Above me like a star And you keep on glowing And you keep on showing me the way SHINE SHINE SHINE |

I put ketchup on my scrambled eggs And everybody thinks it's funny I don't get mad I don't laugh cause you don't shave your legs But everybody thinks it's funny No need to get mad I don't spend my time with anyone Who doesn't think I'm wonderful Or somewhat cash refundable at times Now I'm out here counting airplanes Trying to make sense of the change And I don't wanna be just anybody So don't try to figure me out I won't try to figure you out I don't wanna be some average anybody Now I got friends that ride into the storm And ride out of the storm with nothing They rode into the storm with And there seems to be a price for everything You get what you pay for then you pay for What you already thought you bought before When you're up between the new sky line The city lights and the warm sunshine It's a long way down When you can count on one hand what you love And can count on who you love to help you on your long way down You end up counting airplanes Trying to keep up with these changes I don't wanna be with anybody else So don't try to figure me out I won't try to figure you out I don't wanna be some average anybody |

Made my exit on the turn pike I saw the stateside toll and shuffled for some change I paid a man that talked as if he knew me And I could see it in his eyes He could tell that I was running away What are you waiting for It's just a minute away Travel light you might just Find yourself there for the day What are you waiting for It's just a minute away Following Rita Following Rita Stopped to make a call and picked up Elvis Elvis James McCabe a future millionaire He wrestled with his thoughts out loud About two girls that he had left behind And said for forty five dollars He could help me on my way and get rich too There was talk about after high school I would get a job Gig at night and she would go to some Community school But her father changed jobs And we cried together As her plane was flying away Well the phone never was enough For us to hold on to Now every mile that I drive away Get's me closer to you, yeah |

I can see the red, white and free in you
You light the night up like the moon And underneath your clouds, I see the blue You're hopeless 'cause you tell the truth The stars are jealous of your shine If you were mine There's not a thing I wouldn't do You're black and beautiful, yellow, tan You're white as light and soft as sand With greens and greys and oh for days A silver lining on the way you cover everyone Just like a morning sun You turn me into someone I would rather be Oh I love your every color Oh I love your everything You wear the day around you Like it's yours to stay around you Maybe I could stay around you too If that's alright with you You're coffee brown and bubble gum pink And oh I think the shade of you is on the brink Of changing all the ways I see the world I could drown inside a single drop Of all the kinds of things you got And all the kinds of things I'm not Might just give me a chance to see From way up where you are Above the silent stars Just dancing in the sky You're better than any rainbow You're brighter than the sun You look like my first day of summer When my spring is on the run You're gold and more gold And you're platinum too With snow toned, copper attitude I don't know what I'd do without you I don't know what I'll do about you |

Well I guess this is where I left my life And all its operations And I know that I will never get this twice With all negotiations This feels like the place between what is and might have been So I guess this is where we both find out If this was meant to be And I'll tell myself, I don't need you I'll tell myself enough to get me through But I'll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day If you can take a little more Now it takes me back to times on Lincoln Avenue When you said you'd never get tired of the boy That seemed to be so far from growing up But we were different then This feels like the place between being ready and being in the way And I'll tell myself, I don't need you I'll tell myself enough to get me through But I'll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day If you can wait a little more This feels like the time that I'm ready for you Are you ready for me 'Cause I'll tell myself I'll make it through I'll tell myself anything to get over you And I won't blame you but I'm finally ready to show you That I'm ready to show you, I'm ready to show you, yeah I'll tell myself that I never needed anybody anyway, but anyway I need you I need you now I need you now I'm ready now |

I can hear you downstairs crying on the phone Telling someone that I'm here but you still feel all alone Maybe we were too young Goodbye, I've gotta go I can hear the baby waking up Got to get back to the life I know I should have never believed him Maybe I should just leave him Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in Don't give up on me I'm about to come alive And I know that it's been hard And it's been a long time coming Don't give up on me I'm about to come alive No one thought I was good enough for you Except for you Don't let them be right After all that we've been through 'Cause somewhere over that rainbow There's a place for me A place with you In every frame upon our wall Lies a face that's seen it all Through ups and downs and then more downs We helped each other off of the ground No one knows what we've been through Making it ain't making it without you |
