Darling you're the cats meow
Darling you've done me proud
so i'm writing you this letter
on an autumn day
and I'm asking you this question
I hope you won't delay
Let's Elope
Let's Get married
On a Boat, named carrie
Or maybe in our living room
with me you and the minister
I'll tell you I love you
Forever
This thought of mine came suddenly
As I wrote you this letter on a Sunday's eve
The sun was setting
and the breeze was fine
the crickets were singing in unison
and i thought how much better it could have been
with you...
Let's Elope
Let's Get Married
I don't care that you may be a little hairy
Cause i know it'll keep me warm
on those bitter cold nights
I'd love to keep warm with you
Forever
I can see our future ever-so-clear
And I know that I'll always want you near
if you'll say yes to my proposition
you'll make me the happiest homo sapiens in existence
so.......
Let's Elope
Let's Get Married
We can say our vows
As we sip on some sherry
Just Promise me one little thing
As you finish this letter
You'll tell me that you'll love me
Forever

Brown eyed baby
you were born some day in - february
on a day when you wish
the sun would come out
but the fog won't lift
it's keeping you from me
i don't know what to do about these months before you
things seem so dreary again when i'm alone
i fall back to sleep just to get through the day
i watch the clouds pass on this dreary day, in february
if we met anywhere else
but where we met in march
do you think circumstances
would lead us to a better start
tulips we're blooming
trees we're spreading their wings
and people we're starting to talk about spring
[chorus]
let's talk about things
let's get our emotions out
april was the time when we first let it all hang out
is it strange that i still remember it
you're first kiss to me
that carbonated beverage taste lingering in my mouth
[chorus]
if we don't know what we're saying
'cause we're yellin' to loud to think
if the moon comes at daytime.
will a solar eclipse change the way we feel
can we even feel without digesting this meal
'cause an empty stomach in may
could wash this all away.
[chorus]
let's talk in metaphors
let's be way too intelligent for our own drawers
can you tell me a lie
'cause our times almost up here
and i don't want to leave with a dry mouth [month]
[chorus]

The Revolution of my heart
Started 02-12-1986
Lives were set in motion
Puzzle pieces began to rearrange themselves
I soon had trouble - falling asleep
Dreams would come - so vividly
that's when you - would come talk to me [ D]
little asian girl
little asian girl
Mother would watch me draw you
Wonder who you were
Thought you were my imaginary friend.
But Dreams were all I had of you.
Summer's would come and winter's -would go away
Years would pass in - the same old way
Yet there was always you - that constant stream
little asian girl
little asian girl
You showed up, unexpectedly one day at school - -
I thought I had hallucinated you - - -
it wasn't until my friend's said - you were real
that i began to see - much more clear
this was destiny - you were here
little asian girl

Sunny days with the windows down
and we're in bed with ds on.
Breakfast in bed wasn't ever normal
Out by 3, it's tuesday again.
Tuesday
I'm wide awake
and i know it'll be a good day
Tuesday
it started late
but i know it'll be a good day
My car is running
My favorite songs on
And I don't have to work
I just cashed my check
and i'm not on my rag
[chorus]
and yeah i know that i can't always expect these tuesday
some weeks it'll pass and i'll forget
but then it'll come by and i'll hear those sweet words
'good night love it's been the best tuesday of the month'

Life as a Musician
02:46

When I think of my career as a musician.
I think of the possibilities
Of meeting new people, and spreading new ideas
Through the medium of creativity
When I think of my life as a musician
I recall upon fond memories
Days practicing in my room
Learning some new melody.
And if I were a traveling musician
Would you follow my footsteps.
Listen to me as a street-perform.
Drop a few coins at my feet
When I make it big someday.
Will I still have a normal life.
Work my 9-5 job
And at night play out at a gig.
J-E-M-I-B-OO-K
see it up there in big bright letters
J-E-M-I-B-OO-K
the top search on google today
When I'm at home, singing by myself
Will my spouse come wandering in.
Think that it's lovely to hear my voice
Or maybe wish that I'd go somewhere else
Will My mother understand my lyrics
Will I have to explain ever word.
Have my picture taken,
When I'm shopping at piggly wiggly
Try to take a shower, or go to sleep
But I can't the phones ringing off the hook
Inbox is filled with tons of fan letters
And my email is out of control
J-E-M-I-B-OO-K
they'll shout it out when i'm on the stage
J-E-M-I-B-OO-K
add me to your top 4 on myspace
J-E-M-I-B-OO-K
request my song at your favorite club
J-E-M-I-B-OO-K
your favorite band has just come to town.

Menses

you say you don't have a problem with the menstrual cycle
you say you don't have a problem with blood
but whenever it comes that time of the month
you'll hide.
and you know what you hide.
because you're a man
i get that,
it's okay
i know we're different
down there.
it's okay, i'll let you slide on this one.
but when a few days pass,
you know i'll be getting some.
so a few days past, and you've got a headache
and i'm complaining about my libido
what will you do about it?
what will you do about it?
oh that's right nothing.
because you're afraid
afraid of a little blood
so i'm holding my breath now, we're on day five.
and we both know what's going on down there.
Yet we're just sitting here, we're sitting apart.
And it's got nothing to do with being in the dark.
because i know what's going through your head right now

Clouds so swift, Rain won't lift
Gate won't close, Railings froze
Get your mind off wintertime
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day, My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!
I don't care , How many letters they sent
Morning came and morning went
Pick up your money, And pack up your tent
You ain't goin' nowhere
Buy me a flute, And a gun that shoots
Tailgates and substitutes, Strap yourself
To the tree with roots
You ain't goin' nowhere
Genghis Khan, He could not keep
All his kings, Supplied with sleep
We'll climb that hill no matter how steep
When we get up to it
