Fast Car

You’ve got a fast car
s
I want a ticket to anywhere
s
Maybe we can make a deal
s
Maybe together we can get somewhere
s
Any place is better
s
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
s
We’ll make something
s
Myself, I got nothing to prove
s

You’ve got a fast car
s
I’ve got a plan to get us out of here
s
Working at East Side’s San Jose Child Development Center
s
I’ve managed to save just a little bit of money
s
We won’t have to drive too far
s
Just across the border and into the city
s
You and I can both get jobs
s
And finally see what it means to be living
s
You see, my old man’s got a problem
s
He lives with prescription drugs and that’s the way it is
s
His body’s too old for working
s
His body’s too young to look like his
s
My mama went off and left him
s
She wanted more from life than he could give
s
Somebody’s got to take care of him
s
So I quit life and that’s what I did
s

You got a fast car
s
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
s
We gotta make a decision
s
Leave tonight or live and die this way
s

I remember we were driving
s
Driving in your car
s
The speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk
s
The city lights lay out before us
s
And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
s
And I had a feeling that I belonged
s
I had a feeling I could be someone
s
Be someone
s
Be someone
s

You got a fast car
s
We go cruising to entertain ourselves
s
You still don’t have a job
s
And I work in the market as a checkout girl
s
I know things will get better
s
You’ll find work and I’ll get promoted
s
We’ll move out of the shelter
s
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
s

s

s

You got a fast car
s
I got a job that pays all our bills
s
You stay out late drinking at the bar
s
You see your friends more than you do your kids
s
I’d always hoped for better
s
Maybe together, you and me would find it
s
I got no plans, I ain’t going nowhere
s
So take your fast car and keep on driving
s

Brooklyn Dodgers

Sorry I walked away
s
When you told me what you were scared of
s
The night that you turned twelve
s
Trying not to cry in front of your older brother
s

He knows where I live
s
He’s not interested
s
I can’t have nice things
s
Like a boy who stays around
s
When I needed him the most
s

On your walk
s
Hold your head up high
s
High, high, high
s
Brooklyn dodger
s
And when you watch me fall
s
Please look back for the last time
s
Brooklyn dodger

Blacks

I’ve got only one bra to my name
s
He said it’s alright
s
Did he hear that?
s
Did he hear it?
s

That’s enough
s
That’s enough of even trying
s
That’s enough
s
Oh, I wish it didn’t matter
s

He told his son
s
He wants to kill himself
s
He said it’s alright
s
I have had enough of this life
s
That’s enough
s
That’s enough of even trying
s
That’s enough
s
Oh, I wish it didn’t matter
s

That’s enough
s
That’s enough of even trying
s
That’s enough
s
Oh, I wish it didn’t matter
s

That’s enough
s
That’s enough of even trying
s
Did he hear that?
s
Did he hear it?
s

I have had enough of this life

Sad Redux-O-Grapher

He talked to me like I was smart
e
He sexed me up all the time
e
I did not get it
e
Was this my time to shine?
e
I did not get it
e
Had my luck finally turned?
e

La, la la, la, la

I saved up to take him out at night
e
He said the restaurant was all wrong
e
He said he had a dream about me
e
In that dream I was beautiful
e
I made him a present
e
It was a photograph of me
e
I did not get it
e
He said it did not cost me anything
e

La, la, la, la, la

Pink City

Anthony Loyd cops horse like a reporter
s
A two hour plane trip from his life’s work
s
His most important story
s

Sound is faster in water than it is in air
s
A hydrophone will let you know faster
s
That your grandma and your niece are shot dead
s

There’s a call at tonight’s last hour
s
A bitter pill you’ve got to swallow
s
It unravels like an affair
s
Your only chance to leave Boogie Town
s
Sound is faster in water than it is in air
s
A hydrophone will let you know faster
s
That your grandma and your niece are shot dead
s
All my life in the pink city

20,000 Deaths for Eidelyn Gonzales, 20,000 Deaths for Jamie Peterson

Awful is all
s
Awful like cookie
s
Sour and ringing
s
And lost to this world
s
These are the times
s
I should shut up about Iris and Oly
s
He didn’t know how else to be
s

Hmm hmm, hoot hoot
s

Cherry, oh Cherry
s
While your friend killed her baby
s
Cherry, oh Cherry
s
I am at your command
s
Cherry, oh Cherry
s
While your friend killed her baby
s
Cherry, oh Cherry
s
I am at your command
s

Hmm hmm, hoot hoot

Walnut House

Think about it before you spray paint
s
“Don’t worry, mom”
s
On the dumpster of the nursing home
s
They have as many eyes as a pineapple
s

I am the dumbest bitch on the planet
s
On the second floor landing, sweating buckets
s
My arm pits are like black moons
s

Shaking at the end of a cord
s
My leather daddy dancing very near
s
Like a sweetheart would
s
Hurting my butthole
s
Like a sweetheart would
s
Oh, oh, it’s little titmouse
s
Ah, ah, little chickadee
s
Oh, ooh, it’s little ruddy duck
s

Don’t worry, mom

Apistat Commander

Oh, along the rocks
s
It’s good, it’s not so hard now
s
Oh, I bite my tongue, who cares?
s
This chance to drop off
s

All that you left, you left for someone
s
All of this hurt that’s wilted off
s
All this relief, it’s the oddest thing
s
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God
s
Chen, he’ll never come
s
That’s fine, I lost my thought
s
Wei Huai could talk me down
s
Still, still, this chance to drop off
s

All that you left, you left for someone
s
All of this hurt that’s wilted off
s
All this relief, it’s the oddest thing
s
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God
s
All that you left, you left for someone
s
All of this hurt that’s wilted off
s
All this relief, it’s the oddest thing
s
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God

Sad Pony Guerrilla Girl

You say I’m a loca
s
Because I am your girl
s
You say I am stupid
s
Because I am your girl
s

You leave me out on the steps
s
You dress me up like a boy
s
You say that I am your secret love
s
You say to be quiet but I want to tell the whole world
s

I like my neighborhood
s
I like my gun
s
Drive in my little car
s
I am your girl and I will protect you
s
I like my neighborhood
s
I like my gun
s
Drive in my little car
s
I am your girl and I will protect you
s

We do it in the back of our little car
s
Pull up my pants and fix my bra
s
Go on home, go home to your kids
s
I’m not going to be quiet and I’m going to tell the whole block
s

I like my neighborhood
s
I like my gun
s
Drive in my little car
s
I am your girl and I will protect you
s
I like my neighborhood
s
I like my gun
s
Drive in my little car

Tonite and Today (What chu’ talkin’ ’bout)

Tell me why they hurt you like that
s
I can’t see how you go on
s

Tonight and today
s
My eyes closed in the club
s
Tonight and today
s
The smallest kiss in the world
s
Tonight and today
s
I won’t forget it or why
s

Which boys, which girls answered your ad?
s
Well man, it was none of them
s
When I give in, will it be okay?
s
Make me see it’s my last year
s

Tonight and today
s
My eyes closed in the club
s
Tonight and today
s
The smallest kiss in the world
s
Tonight and today
s
I won’t forget it or why
