I climbed a rope ladder
To your balcony
That was the place
You said you were gonna be
I found out later
You were way across town
You’re trying so hard
To put me in the ground
You’re always saying
It’s only you and me
But everybody knows
I’m just your Plan B
I had enough whiskey
To make a man drown
But you still haven’t got me
Under the ground
I ran into a wall
Cuz you said it was funny
I gave you my heart
I gave you my money
Stuck my head up my ass
To be your clown
But somehow I managed
To stay above ground
Finally figured out
You’re not the whole world
There’s over a billion
Available girls
The sky is blue
And the Earth is round
I got a nice girl
Keeping me above ground

Why aren’t there more people
Like you?
Lovely, kind and gracious in so many things
You do
In this crazy old world, you don’t have a
Counterpart
There’s a sparkle in your soul and twinkle in
Your heart
Why aren’t there more people
Like you?
Quietly shielding others from the pain you’re
Going through
Ignoring smears and rumors that others
Wanna start
You’ve got better things to do than pick their
Hate apart
Why aren’t there more people
Like you?
Instead of looking backward you’re happy
To renew
Now is where we are and this journey is
One-way
The most important places are tomorrow
And today
Why aren’t there more people
Like you?
Your serenity and wisdom enhance my
Point of view
You generate sweet harmony from so much
Disarray
The rhythms of the universe conducting
Your ballet

All is grand in Fancy Land
With towering mushrooms growing wild
There’s purple skies that mesmerize
And no one ever hurts a child
The unicorn band in Fancy Land
Plays heavenly tunes with a thundering beat
Wishes are granted and all is enchanted
And everyone has enough to eat
Hate is banned in Fancy Land
Everyone lives how they want to be
An endless sensation of happy creation
Where all the creatures are roaming free
You’re welcome to visit Fancy Land
As long as the magic lives inside you
With access forbid to all but kids
But grownups wanna go there too

ibble-snabble wibble-wabble
wicka-wacka woo
I wanna be the man
Who gets to spend my life with you
Sometimes people say
That I don’t make a lot of sense
They say that I’m a stalker
Cuz I stand outside your fence
wimpa-wampa dubba-dampa
bimpy-bampy boo
I’ll be gone tomorrow
If you tell me to
Sometimes I get silly
But I’m serious as hell
Things you make me feel
Are impossible to tell
numble-namble bimble-bamble
limba-lamba loom
Tell me how your presence
Makes a million flowers bloom
No place in the universe
That I’d rather be
Waiting for an angel
Underneath a cherry tree

It takes fifty-seven lies
Just to get you outta bed
Lies are like a fungus
That grows inside your head
You need a journal to keep track of
All the lies you ever said
Once upon a time
There was a girl who loved you true
Now there’s someone in the mirror
But you swear it isn’t you
The lovely thoughts you’re thinking
And those ugly things you do
Your heart is black and rancid
And you can’t erase the stain
You got booze and you got pills
To protect you from the pain
An umbrella in a hurricane
Won’t keep away the rain
Your body and your soul
Are in a nasty civil war
You just keep on doing
Crazy things you did before
There’s gonna come a time
When you can’t take it anymore
You choked to death on love
That you were too afraid to give
On your tombstone it will say
That you had too much pride to live
Some folks choose to die
When it’s too frightful to forgive

Wally walks my poodle
Such a silly little dunce
I totally deserve it
Cuz I smiled at him once
Albert does my homework
I always get an “A”
I’ll let him buy me dinner
Or shine my shoes someday
Brenda gives me clothing
That she only wore one time
I’m telling all my girlfriends
To stop treating her like swine
Dennis does the dishes
Parks the car and cooks my meals
I can just imagine
How wonderful this feels
Chloé cleans my bathroom
And she doesn’t mind the smell
If she ever disobeys me
I’ll make her life a living hell
I’m popular and pretty
And my family’s really rich
If I didn’t know me better
I’d probably think that I’m a bitch

Trouble comes up on you
In a million different ways
The man who isn’t ready
Is the man who’s gonna pay
I took a step back
And I took a look around
I damped down the fire
And I gathered up the hounds
You never know what’s coming
So you gotta be wise
Gotta keep your balance
And open your eyes
I took a step back
And I took a look around
I kept myself frosty
While making the rounds
Knew a lot of good men
Who made a mistake
Didn’t see what was coming
Till it was too late
I took a step back
And I took a look around
You can’t ignore trouble
When it’s gaining ground

Used to make it complicated
Like a hamster spinning round
She taught me how to pause
And to slow it all down
She taught me how to live
With the stillness of a flower
She created a world
Where a minute was an hour
She taught me how to feel
She intensified my view
Until nothing else mattered
We were a nation of two
She taught me how to live
Without giving a care
She taught me how to breathe
When there wasn’t any air
She taught me how float
At the top of the sky
Then she disappeared
And I learned how to cry

He says his marriage
Is really a jail
I could rip her to shreds
With my fingernails
Someday he’s gonna be all mine
Says he loves me all the time
She doesn’t even know
Who he really is
Would’ve left her long ago
If it wasn’t for the kids
Someday he’s gonna be all mine
Says he loves me all the time
She’s a bitch and a hag
And a vampire shrew
She’s never gonna love him
The way I do
Someday he’s gonna be all mine
Says he loves me all the time
My life would be perfect
If it wasn’t for her
That spoiled little bitch
With her diamonds and pearls
Someday he’s gonna be all mine
Says he loves me all the time
Waiting just see him
Anytime I can
I’m never gonna stop
Fighting for my man
Someday he’s gonna be all mine
Says he loves me all the time
