Why?

No one saw the blood
but I heard it's rhythmic drip
It's left a pool on the rug
and I'd like to go for a dip
Don't ask me why
I don't feel anything
and I never cry
No one took the time
but it's gone just the same
It's wasted away in this rhyme
and I'm not the one to blame
Don't ask me why
I don't steal anything
and I never lie
Oh... I'm not sorry
Don't tell me that's not fair
Oh... I'm not sorry
How can I be when I don't care
No one heard the voice
but it cried out it's pain
It's just another noise
like the thunder or the rain
Don't ask me why
I don't do anything
and I never try

Tell Me What You Dream

Crawl inside
Lay down your head
Turn out the light
and you're swallowed up by the bed
I watch you sleep,
lying there
You've fallen so deep
into a world I don't share
Tell me what you dream
When you sleep, does the truth come out?
Drifting peacefully,
tell me, what do you dream about?
Do you live a different life
when the lights go out?
I just can't stand it, I find
You've closed your eyes
and I'm trying to read your mind
Jealousy rules every night,
when your body rests
and I know that your spirit takes flight
Tell me what you dream
Do you live in another world?
Do you dream of me
or do you have another girl?
Do you live a different life
when the nights unfurl?
Tell me what you dream
when slumber's hold is devout
Tossing fitfully,
tell me, what do you dream about?
Do you slip into reality
when the lights go out?

Looking In The Windows

Shuffling down the street
Mr. Thomas watches his feet
He belches then he farts
and thinks he ought to
stop and get
a bite-to eat
I see you, Mr. Thomas, I see you
Looking in the windows
Looking in the windows
A shortcut through McGarvie's
and right in step I fell
I know what he's up to
I know, but I won't tell
I hide in the bushes
I hide very well
I see you, Mr. Thomas, I see you
Looking in the windows
Looking in the windows
Saw a woman with no clothes
Couldn't help but stop and stare
and then somebody caught you there
Looking in the windows
Mr. Thomas is gone now
They've taken him away
But I follow in his footsteps
I watch you all my prey
And it's just a little pane of glass
that's keeping me at bay
I see you, Mr. Thomas, I see you
Looking in the windows
Looking in the windows

He approaches smiling ever slightly
Takes my hand and leads me to the floor
The room whirls by as we dance so divinely
He has no idea what's in store
I gaze into his eyes with sweet surrender,
knowing he'll be mine forever soon
We manuever our way out into the garden
I love to dance beneath the silvery moon
The knife I have hidden in my garter
doesn't feel uncomfortable at all
Once we're making love under the moonlight
I will bring about his fateful fall
I approach him smiling ever slightly
Take his arm and lead him through the door
The stars whirl by as we dance so divinely
I pull him to me on the garden floor

But say - what they
I don't know
To see - you me
I'd have to show
About our business we go
No No No No No No

Hair Of Dog

Laurie of liquid flows
Empty her river slows
Spilt her soul just slips away
Spent her body invites decay
In a puddle, left behind
a bottle floats, inside... her mind
Like a note waiting to be read
Gone the smile that charmed us all
and with it strength and youth have fled
Down the path the spirits lead her
In a bath she drinks
Hold her head above the water
Let her go she sinks
Spirits are, that spirits float
Spirits scar and spirits bloat
In the bars her reason failed
Behind bars, a season jailed
Down the path the spirits lead her
In a bath she drinks
Hold her head above the water
Let her go she sinks

She had the sort of face you dream of
Providing infinite possibilities
for a life full of sorrow
and unspeakable miseries
Displaying a tolerance for her vices
and ignorance to her shameful deeds
he fell victim to derision
and advice he would not heed
Strange bedfellows of one's fate
How close love lies next to hate
And as she dreamed of other men
he would lie there and pretend
that her sighs were meant for him
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
Voices whispered in his ear
They told him all was well
Just leave it up to them
and she would burn in hell
La la la la la
La la la la
Upon awakening from his slumber,
with sheet clenched tightly in his fist,
he seemed not to see his lover
as sheet and throat he did entwist
Strange bedfellows of one's fate
How close love lies next to hate
And as she dreamed of other men
the incubus would make amends
La la la la la
La la la la

Thank You Mommy

This is for the “F” on your report card
and that is for not picking up your room
This is 'cause you hit your sister too hard
and that's 'cause I've got nothing else to do
Mommy never really liked me very much
She didn't think that I was any good
I could never bring myself to do things
the way that Mommy thought I should
She'd bash my brains for not making my bed
If I'd passed out, she'd have left me for dead
And now I ask you... What should I have said?
Thank you Mommy?
Thank you Mommy,
Thank you Mommy! For the dent in my head
This is for being born so ugly
that you make me cry when I look at your face
This is for being seen with me in public
deliberately dressed like a disgrace
Mommy never really liked me very much
She didn't want a kid that looked like her
After their divorce, of course,
she thought I looked
a lot more like my father
It hurt her more than me... she said
It was for my own good, she'd yell as I bled
And now I ask you... What should I have said?
Thank you Mommy?
Thank you Mommy,
Thank you Mommy! For the dent in my head
Dent in my head
