Description

It's a big pop song and kind of rocking now because we went back to the demo version of it. It's just guitar, bass and a Kronos Quartet string sample in the chorus. Brian West, one of my producers, had their Pieces Of Africa CD, and he wanted something distinct to happen in the chorus. So he chopped up "White Man Sleeps" by the Kronos Quartet. It's really good.

Lyrics

[SIZE=2]Hey man, don't look so scared[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]You know I'm only testing you out[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Hey man, don't look so angry[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]You're real close to figuring me out[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]We are a part of a circle[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]It's like a Möbius strip[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And it goes round and round [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Until it loses a link[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]And there's a shadow in the sky [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And it looks like rain[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And shit is gonna fly once again[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Hey man, we look at each other with ample eyes and[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Why not some time to discover what's behind your eyes? [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And I've got so many questions that I want to ask you[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I am so tired of mirrors - Pour me a glass of your wine![/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]And there's a shadow in the sky [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And it looks like rain[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And shit is gonna fly once again![/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I've got a bunch of government checques at my door.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Each morning I try to send them back but they only send me more[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I look at myself in the mirror; am I vital today? [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Hey, man, I let my conscience get in the way![/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]And there's a shadow in the sky[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]But it looks like rain[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And shit is gonna fly once again[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And I don't mean to rain on your parade[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]But pathos has got me once again...[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]And I don't want ambivalence[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]No I don't want ambivalence no more[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]No I don't want ambivalence[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]No I don't want ambivalence no more[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I said I don't want ambivalence[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]No I don't want ambivalence no more[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]No more[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I said I don't want ambivalence[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]No I don't want ambivalence no more[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]No more[/SIZE]

Description

I wrote that all in one go. It's about me feeling insecure about my popness and wanting to hide in some underground kind of circle just to fit in with my musical peers. I could try to be cool and whatever, but why do I have to try? Why can’' I just be myself? The moment you make that step and say "I want to make pop music" is a big thing. But no matter what happens to me there'll always be someone going "Oh, her music sucks now because everyone likes it". I feel that song a lot.

Lyrics

[SIZE=2]You liked me till you heard my shit on the radio[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Well I hate to say but pop ain't going solo[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]You liked me till you heard my shit on the radio[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]But now I'm just too mainstream for you, oh no[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]You liked me till you saw me on your TV[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Well if you’re so low below then why you watching?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]You say good things come to those who wait[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I’ve been waiting a long time for it[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I remember the days[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]When I was so eager to satisfy you[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And be less then I was [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Just to prove I could walk beside you[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Now that I’ve flown away [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I see you’ve chosen to stay behind me[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And still you curse the day [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I decided to stay true to myself[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]You say your quest is to bring it higher[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Well I've never seen change without a fire[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]But underneath I think there's a lot of yearning[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Your face, the colours change from green to yellow[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]To the point where you can’t even say hello[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]You tell me you'd kill me if I ever snobbed you out[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Like that’s what you expect from me, like that’s what I’m about[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I remember the days[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]When I was so eager to satisfy you[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And be less then I was [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Just to prove I could walk beside you[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Now that I’ve flown away [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I see you’ve chosen to stay behind me[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And still you curse the day [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I decided to stay true to myself[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Requesting so many tunes [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]We devote tonight[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]This is DJ Nelstar[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Comin’ at ya[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]It’s so much easier to stay down there [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Guaranteeing you’re cool[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Than to sit up here exposing myself [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Trying to break through[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Than to burn in the spotlight [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Open fire![/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Turn in the spitfire[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Open fire![/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Scream without making a sound[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Open fire![/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Be up here without looking down[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Open fire![/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Because we’re all afraid of heights[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I remember the days[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]When I was so eager to satisfy you[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And be less then I was [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Just to prove I could walk beside you[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Now that I’ve flown away [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I see you’ve chosen to stay behind me[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And now you curse the day [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I decided to stay true to myself[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Myself, myself, myself...[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Are you feeling me?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Are you feeling me now?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Are you feeling me?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Are you feeling me now?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Are you feeling me?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Are you feeling me now?[/SIZE]
Why you gotta be so mean?
Cause you hurt me, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me so
You bring me down down down down low
Bring me down down down down down down down down down down down low

[SIZE=2]I’m comin’ at ya on the radio tonight[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Cause I like my shit on my radio[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Shit on the radio [/SIZE]

Shit on the radio
[SIZE=2]Shit on the radio[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Shit on my radio[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Shit on your radio[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Shit on the radio[/SIZE]

Description

Baby Girl was written in Toronto. I had a rebirth of feeling good about writing R&B hooks and R&B songs – because it's a part of who I am. So that's all it is, an R&B song, with maybe a little bit deeper lyrics. I love the energy and the attitude. "Baby Girl" is going to be really fun to perform live.

Lyrics

[SIZE=2]I’ve seen a man cry, I’ve seen a man die inside[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I’ve seen him say to me that he is only mine[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]That he gotta do what is best for him[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Never let me in, not even begin[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]To tell me I’m the one under his moon and sun[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]That I am the thing that revolves around him[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]But while on top of him, I know what’s best for him[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I’ll show him how to win and let me in cuz[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I don’t wanna be your baby girl[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I don’t wanna be your little pearl[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I just wanna be what’s best for me[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]To be one-da-dum with my own star under my own sun[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]We’re all sorry now, I didn’t mean to, wow,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Make you cry like that, it’s just a little spat[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Still I want you to know, though I love you so[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]It’s mostly me dreaming, forcing, believing[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]That you’re an ideal, hell I never steal[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]But I stole you from, from another one[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]So take yourself and wrap around my little finger[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Cuz that’s how I think it should swing[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I don’t wanna be your baby girl[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I don’t wanna be your little pearl[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I just wanna be what’s best for me[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]To be one-da-dum with my own star under my own sun[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Why can’t he see?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Why can’t he see?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]What’s inside of me?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Yeah[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Don’t you, don’t you call me coochie-coo, a little girl, now[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Don’t you gaga goo no coochie-coo girl now [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I’m so much more, can’t you see? [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Can’t you see?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Look who’s writing now a token of their love[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Can’t you see love that it’s just because[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I wanted a cheap way to get inside your head[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And not a cheap way to get inside of your bed[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Oh you’re running now, with that silly one[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]It’s all over now, this woman’s just begun[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Maybe we’ll see about the will and the way[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Butterflies return some day[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I don’t wanna be your baby girl[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I don’t wanna be your little pearl[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I just wanna be what’s best for me[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]To be one-da-dum with my own star under my own sun[/SIZE]

Description

I wanted to do an English bossa nova song. It just kind of starts and ends. What I'm discovering is, I'm more into the music; the lyrics to this mean something, but the music means a bit more. One of my favorite lyrics is “will you open the door for me/if you believe in chivalry?”, I like that line.

Lyrics

[SIZE=2]He wants to be, he wants to be[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]With everything under the sun[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]He wants to be, he wants to be[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]With everything under the sun[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]And like a legend who rises and then falls [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I cannot be his only one[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]He makes me feel, he makes me feel[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Like you used to, whoa[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Like you used to[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]He makes me feel, he makes me feel[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Like you used to, whoa[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Like you used to[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]And like a fickle flower when it first sees the light [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I cannot show just how I fight[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And like a fickle flower when it first sees the light [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I cannot show just how I fight[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Babe I saw you walking, it was after midnight[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Carrying nothing except for a flashlight[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]You wanted to be Romeo so low at my window[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]You wanted to be Romeo so low at my window[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Will you open the door for me if you believe in chivalry?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Will you open the door for me if you believe in chivalry?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]For I do not think you low though you bow to me so-so[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I do not think you low though you bow to me so-so[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I know you want to drink from the purest wine, from the purest wine[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]But the drink is far more sour than you would ever think, think, think, think, think, oh[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]He wants to be, he wants to be [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]With everything under the sun[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And she wants to burn, she wants to burn[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Hot like that sun, whoa[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Hot like that sun[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Just like a legend that rises and then falls [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I cannot be his only one[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And like a callous, cold, callous woman [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]She’ll never see what she did done[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]So like this legend that rises and then falls [/SIZE]
I’ll never be his only one

"I'm Like A Bird" is my newest song. There’s a simplicity about it that I love. It’s my freedom song: "I'm like a bird / I'll only fly away / I don't know where my soul is / I don't know where my home is".

Lyrics

[SIZE=2]You're beautiful[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]That's for sure[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]You'll never ever fade[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]You're lovely [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]But it's not for sure[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]That I won't ever change[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And though my love is rare[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Though my love is true[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I'm like a bird [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I'll only fly away[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I don't know where my soul is[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I don't know where my home is [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And baby all I need for you to know is[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Your faith in me brings me to tears[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Even after all these years[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And it pains me so much to tell[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]That you don't know me that well[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And though my love is rare[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And though my love is true[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I'm like a bird [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I'll only fly away[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I don't know where my soul is[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I don't know where my home is [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And baby all I need for you to know is[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]It's not that I wanna say goodbye[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]It's just that every time you try to tell me, me [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]That you love me[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Each and every single day [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I know I'm gonna have to eventually [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Give you away[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And though my love is rare[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And though my love is true[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Hey I'm just scared[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]That we may fall through[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I'm like a bird [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I'll only fly away[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I don't know where my soul is[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I don't know where my home is [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And baby all I need for you to know is[/SIZE]

Description

That's a real song. That was inspired by a Big Sugar song. Big Sugar’s a Canadian band. Though I may seem so independent and stuff, blah, blah, blah, when I turn out the light at night I can get lonely just like everybody else. Maybe that's why it's such a good song and everyone is responding to it – because it's real. Just a song with a fun, hooky chorus.

Lyrics

[SIZE=2]It's getting so lonely inside this bed[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Don't know if I should lick my wounds or say woe is me instead[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]There's an aching inside my head[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]It's telling me I'm better off alone[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]But after midnight, morning will come[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And the day will see if you will get some[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]They say that girl ya know she acts too tough tough tough[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Well it's ‘til I turn off the light, turn off the light[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]They say that girl you know she acts so rough rough rough[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Well it's ‘til I turn off the light, turn off the light[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And I say follow me follow me follow me down down down down [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]‘Til you see all my dreams[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Not everything in this magical world is quite what it seems[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I looked above the other day[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Cuz I think I'm good and ready for a change[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I live my life by the moon (By the moon)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]If it's high play it low[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]If it's harvest go slow[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And if it's full, then go[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]But after midnight, morning will come[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And the day will see if you're gonna get some[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]They say that girl ya know she acts too tough tough tough[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Well it's ‘til I turn off the light, turn off the light[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]They say that girl you know she acts so rough rough rough[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Well it's ‘til I turn off the light, turn off the light[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And I say follow me follow me follow me down down down down [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]‘Til you see all my dreams[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Not everything in this magical world is quite what it seems[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]And I'm searching for things that I just cannot see[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Why don't you don't you don't you come and be here with me?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I pretend to be cool with me, wanna believe[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]That I can do it on my own without my heart on my sleeve[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I'm running, I'm running, catch up with me life[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Where is the love that I'm looking to find?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]It's all in me, can't you see? Why can't you, why can't you see it's all in me?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]All in me[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Where is your logic?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Who do you need?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Where can you turn?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]When you just walked out on me[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Follow me, follow me, down down down down[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I do not need, I do not need nobody[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Follow me down, follow me down down down[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I do not need, I do not need nobody[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Follow me, follow me, down down down down[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]‘Til you see all my dreams, see all my dreams[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Not everything in this magical world is quite what it seems[/SIZE]

Where is your logic?
Who do you need?
Where can you turn?

Yeah

And where is your logic?
Who do you need?

Description

This song is my Beat poet song; it is inspired by the Jack Kerouac novel "On The Road" and has a stream-of-consciousness, Allen Ginsberg vibe, thus the lyric "I left my heart in San Francisco" (which I probably did do in another lifetime, although I had never actually been to San Francisco when I wrote this song). I used a part of the first verse in an older song of mine called "Post No Bills".

Lyrics

[SIZE=2]Walk forward and backward with me now[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I left my heart in San Francisco[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]With some club kids [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]On a crowded street somewhere[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]The sky was red and he said:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]"Would you like to come be a part of my North American Dream?"[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I could try to chase life down[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Down the street and I'd find [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]The separation of fact and fiction[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I'm trynna finda way[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Trynna finda way[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I'm trynna finda right[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Trynna finda right[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And if I budge I just might[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I'm trynna finda way[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Trynna finda way[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I'm trynna finda right[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Trynna finda right[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And if I budge I just might[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I left my conscience somewhere with my rhythm[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]With my rhythm[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I heard about it from the mouth of a man[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Man man man man man[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]He was hopping some trains and combing the land[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Man, would you like to come and comb some land?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Looking for a lover [kiss] planted in the East[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I love you, I love you[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Trying to run from that dreaded fist beast (beast, well yeah)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]So I gotta punch you[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]And it lies, and it lies[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]In the picket fence call[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]It was my own paradise [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]With my own private corridor[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I'm trynna finda way[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Trynna finda way[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I'm trynna finda right[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Trynna finda right[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And if I budge I just might[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I'm trynna finda way[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Trynna finda way[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I'm trynna finda right[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Trynna finda right[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And if I budge I just might[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]So I'm dancing to a new beat and it came to me in bed[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]My veins became a strain of light that I let to flow instead[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And a wish came to me like Peter Pan at my window and said:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]“Evolve your destiny child and you'll never walk alone”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]No, you'll never walk alone, but[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Travel to the land of surrender [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Till you can't cry no more[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Till you can't, ‘til you can't[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And you'll never walk alone[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]All this inspiration is passing me by[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]All I can do is chill when I really wanna fly[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And this pollution do nothing but dirty up my mind[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Faster than forever in the blink of an eye[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]To see past my lethargy is hard I feign[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]The beauty of my youth is gone but the chemicals remain[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2](You'll nev - you'll never walk alone)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2](You'll nev - you'll nev - you'll never walk alone)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2](Never alone, never alone, alone, alone, alone... yeah yeah)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I'm trynna finda way[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Trynna finda way[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I'm trynna finda right[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Trynna finda right[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And if I budge I just might[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I'm trynna finda way[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Trynna finda way[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I'm trynna finda right[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Trynna finda right[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And if I budge I just might[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I travel to this land of surrender [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]But I see it's all over me[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Over and over again[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And I try and I try and I try[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]An angel on my left side and a devil on my right[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And they fight and they fight and they fight[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]They're fighting, they're fighting, they're fighting for my attention[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Hello? You have my attention[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Do I have your attention?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Can I have your attention please?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Please, you've made such such such an impression on me[/SIZE]

Description

The chorus came when I was in my room with my guitar. Most of the lyrics, verse-wise, were written in this stream-of-consciousness thing I had while cleaning a hotel room. I was chambermaiding, and thus the lyrics: "I'm talking to the mirror again / but it's not listening". You know what I would use to write on? There were these little guest survey sheets: "How was your stay? Any suggestions?", and I'd have them in my cart, so I'd grab them and, like, write on them when I needed to write. I still have some.

Lyrics

[SIZE=2]I’m talking to the mirror again but it’s not listening[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I’m cleaning my dirty mind like a toilet but it won’t give in[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I’m drinking spirits in the hopes that I will find myself one[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]But all that I can rectify is that the party’s just begun[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Party’s just begun[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Party’s just begun[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Party’s just begun[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Party’s just begun[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I feel like falling asleep and never waking up[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]It’s not that my glass is empty but I need another cup[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]When all of the doors around me just shut one by one[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I feel like falling asleep but the party’s just begun[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Party’s just begun[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Party’s just begun[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Party’s just begun[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Party’s just begun[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Shaky, shaky steps in the middle of the day[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]A fire in my path and a cool decay[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Of limbs and tooth under my skin[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Oh, freedom, where do I begin?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I’m changing my inflection and how I say the words[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And maybe it will sound like something they’ve never heard[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Oh, death of the party![/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I picked up the chalice of malice[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And drank ‘til I was full[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I drank ‘til I was full[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I was thirsty but I drank ‘til I was full[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I drank ‘til I, ‘til I, ‘til I was full[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]There’s a fever in my bones that I know so well[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I keep my head low low low to avoid the swell[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]But it’ll be cold in hell, it’ll be cold in hell[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Before they put me in that chamber[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]So I’m cleaning up as fast as I can[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I’m cleaning up as fast as I can[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Cuz you can’t unbreak what you break[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]You can’t unfake the very fake[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]You cannot fuel without a tank[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]No you can’t unbreak what you break, what you break[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Party’s just begun[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Party’s just begun[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Party’s just begun[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Party’s just begun[/SIZE]

Description

This song came to me one evening just as my head was hitting the pillow, so I quickly got up, turned on the light and wrote it out. It captures a feeling of… Nellyness! It's a typical Nelly song, the ubiquitous Nelly song. It's short… like me!

[SIZE=2]Well, well, what do I say? [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I've never seen a bad day look quite this way [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And well, well, what do I do [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]When all of my thoughts run right back to you [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Looks like I meant to speak with logic [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]But hon', the carnal always gets in the way [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Well well, this fire was more funner than proper grammar anyway [/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Well, well, it's fine out today [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I say what I mean but I don't mean what I say [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Well, well, it's fine out [/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Then you get to the part where your heart just wants to die [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Then you get to the part where your heart screams, it just sighs [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Then you get to the part where your heart knows it's a crime [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]So it flies like a bird, it's heard, it's heard, it's heard[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]The word [/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I say what I mean but I don't mean what I say [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Well, well, it's fine out today [/SIZE]

Well, well, it's fine out
