THE MURMURS
BIG TALKER
Big daddy said it's o.k. holding out for love
Don't like it much but that's the way it goes
Big Talker, thrill stalker, sitting on the timeDeciding every day who is next in the line
Sick bitch where's your head looking for a lover
Sick of all the chills time for anotherI belived you, and I belived you, I belived you.
Bend down lower put your hand on my lap
Don't you know that's where its at
Everybody's coming every one but me
Cause they don't give me nothin see
Trip fit go ahead kiss me againI always like it when it endsI belived you, and I belived you, I belived.
Play it cool now and then hit me hard
And don't ever be late
Hesitation rising cause that's what you do
Well I'm full of it too
Cause I belived you, and I belived you, I belived you.
I'M A MESS
I'm such a drag wish that I could disappear
I just smoked myself right into this chair
I've had no revelations
Got no future plans
So many expectations and no one understands
I'm a mess, I'm a mess,
I'm a mess, I'm a mess
I ruin everything, it's never enough
Got a tired alter ego, that's always giving up
I used to be the girl that everybody loved
And now I'm just too much
I'm a mess, I'm a mess
I'm a mess, I'm a mess
And I'm crying all the time
How bad can it be
I wish that I was dead, temporarily
I'm a mess
I'm bored with myself
I'm tired of this life
I'm falling apart
Can't even take advice
I'm so gone, I need my prescription to relax
Now I'm wasted like the rest
I'm a mess, I'm a mess
TOY
Stranger licks, but this hurts better
Slimy tickles on my bones
I'm having a thrill with my jet setter
I just don't want to be alone
I just don't want to be alone
If you decide what makes up my mind
Then you belong in bed alone
If you don't know what's aching me
If you can't stand to watch
Then you're a liar cause your hands won't let you stop
I want you to be my favorite toy
We'll play a game of house
You be the girl I'll be the boy
I want to throw you down
And put you in my mouth
We've got to figure something out
I have made a fool of you
I'm leaving with no excuse
Can you tell me again how cute I am
Then I can let you loose
Lately I've been so scared, so scared
Lately I've been so bad, so bad
I want you to be my favorite toy
We'll play a game of house
You be the girl I'll be the boy
I want to throw you down
And put you in my mouth
We've got to figure something out
UNDERDOG
I used to be scared of being myself
Afraid to know what you'd really think
I'd look into your eyes but I couldn't tell
We hung out all summer and we'd drink and drink
and drink and drink
You didn't know that you broke my heart
you didn't want to end and you didn't wanna start
That was the day you took me for a drive
you dropped me off I cried and cried and cried
cried and cried
Take me down I don't wanna be found
Don't wanna play the part of the underdog
look around I'm not like others
It's a long way up
It'd be easy if I just left town
One year later and I'm sleeping in your bed
your wrapped around my body and I'm so content
I remember it well when you couldn't care less
but we ended up together
and I guess you know the rest
yeah you know the rest
Take me down I don't wanna be found
don't want to play the part of the underdog
look around I'm not like others
It's a long way up
it'd be easy if I just left town
if I just left town
I wanna run away from you lately
cause I can't face you when you're like that
when I'm around you I misbehaveand
I'll be your slave if you'll have me back
Take me down I don't wanna be found
don't want to play the part of the underdog
look around I'm not like others
It's a long way up it'd be easy if I just left town
if I just left town
ABOUT NOTHIN
I went down to change your mind about nothin, about nothin
You gave up every thing for me
I gave up one too many things
So I went out to find myself but there was nothin
So I made up something
You took up all my energy
What's mine is yours was not for me
I wanted something out of this
You don't ever wear my gifts
This isn't where I live
There's nothin to forgive
You can't stand on your headtrip plan
cause it'll be nothin but an interruption
You're making up that happy voice for my protection
to learn some lesson
I'm racing everyone but you
You'd rather let me cheat cause you know I'd lose
I wanted something out of this
You don't ever wear my gifts
This isn't where I live
There's nothin to forgive
I went down to change your mind about nothin, about nothin
GENIUS
She's got something to say the world
She wants to know if she could tie it up
So it can't move, she is feeling inspired
she said it's too cool for it's own good
She's kinda freaky
She's kinda weird
She's kinda freaky
But I don't know
I think she's a genius
If she could only just slow it up
Then she could get out really quickly
She thinks the chances are
Pretty high, pretty high, pretty high
She's kinda freaky
She's kinda weird
She's kinda freaky
But I don't know
I think she's a genius
She had that slow motion thing happen
And she wants to tell you about it
But you know, you know, you know
She does not trust you
She knows all you are is lucky
She's kinda freaky
She's kinda weird
She's kinda freaky...
But I don't know
I think she's a genius
SQUEEZE BOX DAYS
Hey you, you can stay here if you want
You can even mess up my life
I know we don't got much to talk about
Just play with my hair and I'll be happy
I don't even care if you don't know me
And I don't even care if you don't like me
Can't we just spend tonight together
So I got something to think about tomorrow
Hey you
Did you know you had me wrapped around your little dirty finger
Hey you could please draw me a picture
And you might as well make me look like a man
I don't even care if you don't love me
And I don't even care if you don't want me
Can't we just spend tonight together
So I got something to think about tomorrow
Hey you
Did you know you make me wet just by looking at your smile
I know I don't even have a bed to fuck in
But let me make a phone call, I'll have one in a while.
I don't even care if you don't like me
And I don't even care if you don't need me
Can't we just spend tonight together
So I got something to think about tomorrow
Hey you
Aren't you leaving next week
Aren't you going back to Boston
Aren't you going to see your boyfriend
And are you going to tell him about me
DON'T LIE
Don't like my ratty hair
you said I'm too young and you're too scared
I still dressed up to be the cutest doll
called you up from the pool hall
How bout you take a chance on me
I'm not your average somebody
like the other girls chasing after you
I actually feel something true, something true
oh uh oh, oh just don't lie
took me on your motor bike
you rev me up and drive me wild
this could be love but I'm moving slow
just don't drive me down an unlucky road
unlucky road
oh uh oh... just don't lie
SUCKER UPPER
Asexual, far from intellectual
fashion stealer, free-wheeler
bats her eyes to cover up her lies
she's a sucker upper, starfucker
and I'm gonna blow her cover
My friend, my friend saw you in a coffee shop
she thought you were cute, she thought you were hot
but I thought not
She's trash, she's pretty
she's good enough to do
but we got bored
now everyone's over you
Asexual, far from intellectual
fashion stealer, free-wheeler
bats her eyes to cover up her lies
she's a sucker upper, starfucker
and I'm gonna blow her cover
Fix it, strap it
wrap it around your arm
so you won't forget
when your gone
so long
COUNTRY SONG
I'm sick of your lies
and I'm sick of your threats
I'm sick the way you want
and I'm sick the way you get
wait till I take off
wait till your so bored
you'll still be waiting someday
but I'll never be sure
your calling me with the blues
It's something I've gotten used to
you treat me like a meal
that you want to throw up
you treat me and you trick me
and you don't show up
don't worry I'll be queen
if the seat's not sold
I'm sure you'll keep your tan
when the sun makes you look old
your calling me with so what do you need
isn't that why you called
I know you think I'm such a fabulous person
but that's not the point just tell me wich way did you fall
Just like that I've gonna back on my word
I love you too muchto let you fly with a bird
coming down from an airplane crash
tapping off the shivers on the cigarette ash
your calling me with the blues
It's something I've gotten used to
you drive too fast for not checking your mirrors
I'm still on the fly that you'll get it together
when's the last time that you checked in your mirrors
hope for your sake
the vision is clearer
your calling me with so what do you need
isn't that why you called
I know you think I'm such a fabulous person
just tell me wich way did you fall
SLEEPLESS COMMOTION
When you show up like that
what am I supposed to say
it takes a while for the bruises to heal
oh you've got to escape
before it's too late
Children of the garden
tangled in danger
playing the smile
and suffering alone
I'm daring the battle with a bastard who's killing us slowly
sleepless commotion, sleepless commotion
well he slashed the waterbed
and he slashed all her clothes
he smashed all the crystal
and broke the windows
sleepless commotion, sleepless commotion
police won't arrive
and I've hidden the scotch
oh that's made matters worse
now he's laughing at us
Children of the garden
tangled in danger
playing the smile
and suffering alone
I'm praying for daybreak
I'm praying for peace
I'm praying for freedom
I'm praying she'll leave him
and all I can do
is protect while I'm here
it won't go too far
I have nothing to fear
except when I am not here
Now it's over
the night won't return
a phone call in search of her soul
I left her alone
why'd I leave her alone in sleepless commotion,
sleepless commotion
