Juliana Hatfield Album

The highest paid piece of ass.
You know it's not gonna last.
Those magazines end up in the trash., yeah

What's the big idea, none of that stuff is even real.
Wanna know how they really feel, yeah

Five thousand dollars a day,
Is what they pay my baby
For her pretty face.
Five thousand dollars a day,
Is what they pay my baby
For her pretty face.

I came over as soon as she called.
'Cause she's a living doll.
And she's famous for nothing at all., yeah
She's living life like a dream,
With a false sense of self-esteem.
I wish she'd trade places with me,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Five thousand dollars a day,
Is what they pay my baby
For her pretty face.
Five thousand dollars a day,
Is what my baby gets paid

My sister... My sister... My sister.

I hate my sister, she's such a bitch.
She acts as if she doesn't even know that I exist.
But I would do anything to let her know I care.
But I am only talking to myself 'cos she isn't there.

My sister, I love my sister, she's the best.
She's cooler than any other girl that I have ever met.
She had the greatest band, she had the greatest guy.
She's good at everything and doesn't even try.

She's got a wall around her nobody can climb.
She lets her ladder down for those who really shine.
I tried to scale it, but to me she's blind.
So I lit a firecracker, went off in my eye.

I miss my sister, why'd she go ?
She's the one who would have taken me
To my first all-ages show.
It was the Violent Femmes and the Del Fuegos,
Before they had a record out. Before they went gold,
And started to grow.

I miss my sister. I miss my sister.

Up above the floor so high.
A reflection in his eye.
Fell in love again last night.
Had a chance but I got stage-fright.
Oooh, oooh. oooh, oooh

I can't dance in front of you.
I never used these dancing shoes.
They won't even go up stairs.
Take me up to meet you there.
Oooh, oooh. oooh, oooh

This... is the sound ... of a tree... falling down.
Like me... giving up ...to the ground... is the sound
Of a wave... breaking down...to be... all washed up.

I can't think of things to say.
Would if I could find a way.
Grab something and hold it tight.
Even if it's just one night.
Oooh, oooh. Oooh, oooh!

Why are simple things so hard?
Nothing ever goes too far.
I roll it over in my mind
For the hundred-thousandth time.
Oooh, oooh. Oooh, oooh

This... is the sound .... of a tree... falling down.
Like me... giving up....to the ground... is the sound
Of a wave... crashing down .... to be... all washed up
Bridge !

Up above the town so high,
Watching gasses in the sky.
I can't stop thinking of that guy.
How do you can't see smog at night.
Oooh, oooh. oooh, oooh

I don't even know his name.
But if it's ever gonna rain,
Will it ever be the same?
Will he come back here again?

This... is the sound .... of a tree... falling down.
Like me... giving up....to the ground... is the sound

I really had to go downtown.
Go downtown and hang around.
Was not prepared for what I found.
A baby bird was lyin' on the ground.

Lying there in front of my feet.
Dying there right next to the street.
I picked it up and felt it's heat.
I tried to wake her up but she wanted to sleep.

I'm trying, and I'm trying, and I'm trying
But I can't get away from the thought.
It's dying, it's dying, it's dying,
And it's something that I couldn't stop.
You're lying, you're lying, if you say
It's gonna make it 'cos I know that it's not.

Hanging on a telephone line.
Witnessing a million crimes.
I've been alone all this time.
I'd call someone but I don't have a dime.

I don't care for boys or girls.
I'd rather hang around with the birds.
Humans only wreck the world.
They'd kill your whole family for a string of pearls.

I'm trying, and I'm trying, and I'm trying
But I can't get away from the thought.
We're dying, we're dying, we're dying.
Our insides are starting to rot.
You're lying, you're lying, if you say
We're okay, 'cos maybe we're not.

Ooh, ooh, ooh... ooh ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh... ooh ooh.
Ooh, ooh, ooh... ooh ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh... ooh ooh.
Oooh... ooh ooh... ooh

If I had wings I'd try to fly.
But they don't make it harder to die.
You can take it up to the sky.
But no one ever stays that high.
High... high

I'm trying, and I'm trying, and I'm trying
But I can't get away from the thought.
I'm dying, I'm dying.
I already gave away all that I've got.
I'm lying, I'm lying, if I say

Who are you?
I can't remember your name.
Where am I?
What was I gonna say?
What's the time?
What day is it today?
I feel fine, I'll probably be okay.
Hey... hey... hey ...

Hi, banana. Hi, spaghetti, hi.
Mommy's back, he's gonna tuck you in tonight.
Mommy's sorry, she gave you such a fright.
Mommy's home, he's gonna be all right.

Check out that lady X3
She's talking to herself.
Check out that lady X3
She's gonna go to hell.

Realize she's in a different place.
Realize her lack of social grace.
She can take the smile off his face.
He wants to take her somewhere she'll be safe.
Hey... hey... hey... hey...

Set the table dancin' on the table.
Clear her place because she is unable, Mabel.
He looks at her and he wonders where she is.
She smiles a little and she tells him she is his.

Check out that lady X3
They're taking her away
Check out that lady X3

Give me your hand,
Get in the van,
Do you understand?,
He's got a plan.
He's got a room for one night,
So don't try to fight.
He's got a knife,
No respect for your life.

Is it for real?,
How does it feel?
We made a deal.,
Even paid for your meal.
She's got a pain in her head.,
Her eyes are red.
Touch her again and you're dead.
You heard what she said.

I am a heroine,
He tried to do her in.
I gave it back to him.,
He won't do it again.

So don't try to fight.

No respect for your life.

Don't try to run.,

And no mercy for scum.

Not come back around.

And outta my town.

I think I'm addicted (addicted).
Gotta have it every day.
I think I'm addicted (addicted).
Diggin' up what I threw away.

My body is a shell.
A broke an empty shell.
A chemical well.
A little private hell.

I can't take this lying down.
I can't handle this waitin' around.
Karl Wallenda said it right.
Walkin' a wire is the only life.

I think I'm addicted (addicted).
I got an insatiable need.
I think I'm addicted (addicted).
Finally it happened to me.

The skeleton trees
Remind me of me.
They've got no leaves
To make the air we breathe.

I can't take this lying down.
I can't handle this waitin' around.
Hack another year off my life.
Take my money, take my knife.

I don't wanna die.
I don't wanna die.
Don't watch me cry.
I don't wanna die.

I can't take this lying down.
I can't handle this waitin' around.
Hack another year off my life.

Tell me something I really wanna know.
Take me somewhere I really wanna go.
Introduce me to someone really cool.
Not another crazy fool (crazy fool).

Feed me something hot enough.
Don't be afraid to treat me rough.
I just wanna be entertained.
I wanna feel alive again (alive again).

I walk around
This little town.
I spit on the ground
And wait for the sky to fall down.
Show me the way to the door.
Show me out 'cause I'm
So, so, so, so

Give me something to take away the pain.
Give me something that lets me sleep all day.
Play me some music that lifts me to my feet.
Not another ripped-off beat (ripped-off beat).

Take me to the ocean and leave me there.
Leave me all alone with the sun and the air.
I'll float around all day long.
It won't be long before I'm gone (I'm gone).

I float around.
I'm sinkin', sinkin', sinkin' down.
Feel like I'm gonna drown
In this stinkin' town.
Show me the way to the shore.
Throw me out 'cos I'm
So, so, so, so bored.

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose burning mouth is pressed
Against the earth's sweet flowin' breast.

I walk around
This little town.
I spit on the ground
And wait for the sky to fall down.
Show me the way to the door.
Show me out 'cause I'm

He's a movie star, only drives rented cars.
Met him in a bar, said "I know who you are."
Took him to my party as the games were starting.
Bottle's on the ground, are you ready now?
When it comes to me, I'm gonna be ready.
It's my turn in a minute, gonna put my message in it.
Five minutes in the closet with you.

He's in a bunch of movies, really stupid movies.
It's not entirely his fault, he can't control it all.
I am not afraid, I can hardly wait.
Truth or dare, I don't care, tell the truth I dare you.

When it comes around, when it comes around,
When it comes around, when it comes around.
Do you feel it too, what I feel for you?
If it was just us, would you do what I do?
Doo-doo-doo-doo. Doo-doo-doo-doo.
Doo-doo-doo-doo. Doo-doo-doo-doo.

Everybody's watching. Everybody's looking.
She's such a sucker. He don't want to fuck her.
He is gonnna kiss me, if he doesn't miss me.
I am ready for it now. Already on the ground.
Five minutes in the closet with you.
Oooh! Five minutes in the closet with you.

Every time that truck goes by, I think of you.
You drove right through the wall,
And now the kids all wanna follow you.

I don't smoke, so why am I smokin'?
Took a hit and now I'm chokin'.

He wrote a book about himself.
I keep it on my shelf.
And when I was in Washington,
I walked down all the streets of which he wrote.

I can't sing, I'm not a singer.
I swear I'm gonna kill myself if you bring her.
Her... her... her...her...her....her

Iron will, iron hand.
Neck like a tire, iron man.
Iron fist, pump that jam.
Iron eye, iron gland.
Iron face, iron plan.
Fill that empty coffee can.
Iron bar, metal band.
Pumping iron man...

I am only human, I am weak.
I want his power inside of me.
And I'm not talking about a piece of meat.
I'm saying something really deep.
I'm saying something really deep. I'm saying something really deep.
I'm saying something really deep. I'm saying something really.
I'm saying something really deep. I'm saying something really deep.

You left the state without me.
Shows how much you care about me.
I could call, but you could hang up.
You could take my loving cup.

But I don't wanna share.
I don't wanna care.
I don't wanna bare it all.

You've got a life without me.
Don't know a thing about me.
It's no wonder I can't get through.
On the phone he said "I love you."

I don't wanna talk it over.
Never cried on anyone's shoulder.
More and more
As I get older.

Take a look and see
How alone and free
Anyone can be.
Just never let 'em see you sweat.
Little pieces, all they get.
So why do you still feel like shit?

Feels like a heartbreak.
But it's nothing near that great.
I never came that close.
Not even an only ghost.

And on and on it goes.
Nobody knows.
My heart's on fire,
But my blood is frozen.

Take a look and see
How alone and free
Anyone can be.
Just never let 'em see you sweat.
Little pieces, all they get.
So why do you still feel like this?

It's a mystery
How I seem to be
Something less than myself.

It's a mystery
How I seem to be
Something less than myself.

It's a mystery
How I seem to be

Love me love, but just don't touch.
I don't like to be touched.
You might think we all need that stuff.
But I don't think about it much.
And when I do, I have to leave the room.
I'm scared of what I might do.

I got no idols. I got no idols. I got no idols. I got no idols.
I got no idols. I got no idols. I got no idols. I got no idols

I'm a goddess in your eyes, and I will never die.
I was born of people's needs, and what they don't wanna believe.
But I am a liar, that's the truth, go home and think it through.
That's the harm in mystery, all you know is what you see.
