Vacation

It’s true that you let the dream die
While everything was still intact
And by the time I figured that out
My Jealousy was a heart attack
I had to deal with my problems in a whole new way
When one more drink just wasn’t the key
Before we could start a new war
We had to get the hell away
What we all need is a little Vacation
But how we gonna get it?
When we never ever take one
It remains to be seen
If it’s simply a break hon
Or a permanent sever of our current situation
The truth lies in our disguise
Time stands still when you can’t breathe
It’s best to get it off the chest
But sometimes that makes you feel naive
When you look through the lens in a sober way
It’s not what you thought it would be
Clarity is hard to find
When you’re stuck in a fantasy
What we all need is a little Vacation
But how we gonna get it?
When we never ever take one
It remains to be seen
If it’s simply a break hon
Or a permanent sever of our current situation
Raise a glass to us in the past

The problem with boys
Is they don’t know what to do
They make a lot of noise
And then they get all confused
Give me back the last laugh
The only thing I ask
If I could rearrange all your strange ways to change you for the better I might take you back
You could be like any other boyfriend
You could be like any of my boyfriends
You could be like any other thing stretched out on the floor, it’s like any any ahhhhh.

Whole Wide World

It’s been a long time a long time baby
And you didn’t come back to me
I needed to prove it’s me you’re losing but I couldn’t get you to see
The second I’m weak
Guard down thinking if you wanna come back, it’s cool
Your restless charm
My wounds are fresh
And still there’s one thing you never knew
You had the whole wide world and the best of me
What more could you want?
What more could you want?
(Repeat)
It’s been a long time a long time baby
And we never really could agree
On any one reason why I stayed with the way you treated me
Last time I checked
Some respect would’a given me a little reprieve
Give me back my innocence
I could not convince you
That I’m more than just a dream
You had the whole wide world and the best of me
What more could you want?
What more could you want?
(Repeat)

Good People
Fucked Over
Again
Bitter is a taste
I just can’t place
I think I know that look all over your face
We did connect
O.D.’d on respect
But then I turned my back and all my trust went smack
What you thought was fame, was just something
Elusive like a drug that you must maintain
What you’ve become
I don’t want some
I can do me like you never could'a done
Good People
Fucked Over
Again
My guard went bust
in flames it must, be you
The one who’s cracking like an eggshell huh
Self-inflicted
You’ve infected
Your mind with the dreams that you’re one of a kind
All is said to impress
Here comes success
You must think you’re special, but it’s just hopeless
If it’s not fun
Don’t do it son,
Reality is alright, that’s where I come from.
Good People
Fucked Over
Again

I was sitting pretty dialin' 411
I need information if I’m gonna have fun
Just to relax I need Last Splash or Black Jacks
Then we can work it out.
Jelly meets confetti ya we’re having a ball
Everyone’s invited there’s no guest list at all
Who rented the Cabana?
Let’s blame it all on Anna!
Cause we can work it out
If you’re insecure don’t put that shit on her
Get your ass up and get out on the floor
If time goes by and you’re still stuck on the line
Act like you can work it out
Life is a commotion some are blinded by luck
Sometimes it’s a kiss that feels like a mac truck
Not one to fall back, to old patterns that lack
Step it up and work it out
We don’t get together like we did in the past
Too much information clogging all of our paths
We need to reconnect
And love instead of neglect
That is what we’ll do now
Live to move up
You gotta live to move up
You gotta live to move it up now
Hey You! Can we get together?
We! Are one! Together we’ll have more fun!
To bring it all home
We can’t do it alone
We can work it out

No Secret ft. Isla Craig

The trouble is my life I didn’t know was my life
Imagine my surprise when I finally realized
All those sorry spots and kids you thought were friends, you never really knew
The trouble is my life I didn’t know was my life
No secret is a secret
Never don’t trust no one
We breed broken promises
Be careful what you wish for hon
No secret is a secret
No kiss or guarantee
A handshake is the weakness
I wonder what they’ll say about me?
You want in and I want to move on
The trouble is my life I didn’t know was my life
Imagine my surprise when I finally realized
Chorus
You want in and I want to move on

All My Rich Friends

So fresh faced
We were all one
Only 21 and we lived to have fun
You can choose to play it safe
Or pickup and run
Close to the sun is where we tried to run
And some people got burnt
I might have been one
People got burnt yah I might have been one
I couldn’t follow in the tracks
I relaxed and sat back
All my Rich friends
Got what they need
Got what they need yah they got what they need
But if they get chopped down tell me won’t they still bleed?
Won’t they still bleed tell me won’t they still bleed
We still meet up at the bar that’s where happiness breeds
Happiness breeds that’s where happiness breeds
We can drink for dumb fun cause success is fickle hon
It’s passed on more than just this one
I made a basement tape
but it never left the basement
I tried to be of consequence
but instead I stayed on the fence
Textbook Libra
I’ll see yah when I see yah
I cannot make decisions
That keeps me in mental prisons
But I do it to myself
I blame no one else
I’m not the only one tryina to live a life of fun
And some of us just got lucky
And some of us just didn’t
And All My Rich Friends
Would trade it in not for nothing

Hold back, heart attack, give me all the things I lack
Clarity, dance free, you’re free to be you and me
Marlo Thomas, make a promise, 70’s are long gone
There’s no hope, but there’s a new Pope, there’s no need, gimme that weed
Looking down, so robotic, we don’t see what’s going down
Everyone is over it, who gives a shit, might as well quit
There’s no eyes to pull the wool over so don’t bother
We stopped asking questions cause we never get the answer
That we want, in the wrong font, male models are always so gaunt
Pay me cause I’m beautiful, not because I do nothing
If you wanna dance more
You can be the dancefloor (repeat)
If you wanna dance more
You can be the dancefloor (repeat)
If you wanna dance more
You can be the dancefloor (repeat) Cause I’ve been waiting a longtime
The world doesn’t owe me, but I think I owe myself
Let’s buy another round, select from the top shelf
It’s so easy to be shady, everybody hug an old lady I’m like butter, soft like leather, with my age I seem to get better
Bubble gum, want some? I can chew just like you
Make a mil or take a pill, like Kate Bush running up that hill
I saw La Roux before you. That makes me so fuckin’ cool
I’ve got 5 jobs and I’m spent, diversify that’s what they said
The desire it expired, now we change another tire
Try and light a little fire, under my ass with some class
Insecure is supposed to be fleeting not forever more
Why when every time a door shuts there’s not another door?
No one I know is content, with the life that they’ve created
When does comparing your life to others peoples lives end?
If you wanna dance more
You can be the dancefloor (repeat)
If you wanna dance more
You can be the dancefloor (repeat)
If you wanna dance more
You can be the dancefloor (repeat)
Cause I’ve been waiting a longtime

For You

The eye betrays you
It looks right past what it should hold onto
Cry out your name
What’s the use?
Can you guess all my regrets? Can you?
It’s a smile
It’s a taste
It’s a look on your face
It’s for you.
It’s the lines and the space
On your palm, what they say about you
It’s a smile
It’s a taste
It’s a look on your face
It’s for you.
To destruct or begin
I vote us for the win
Yeah I do
It’s for you.
White walls and truce
Does where we live relate to what we do?
The less I confessed
Closer we grew
The present is for us
Still the past cuts through
It’s the lines and the space
On your palm, what they say about you
To destruct or begin
I vote us for the win
Yeah I do

If only you could just get it together
But we weren’t built to last
Dressed for success, who’s the biggest mess, we’ll see about that
We forgot the plot
And tough love’s rough
It hits me in the gut and I just can’t get up
Sex all the time
You bring it around
Then leave me hung up when I really need it
If only you could just get it together
Welcome in the blame
Make up my face, disguise and erase, you’ll never change
I need little more
And I won’t compete
With all the others, the lost lovers, you left a trail leading back to me
Sex all the time
You bring it around
Then leave me hung up when I really need it
All of the time, all of the time.
Sex all the time
You bring it around
Then leave me hung up when I really need it

Your busted, your busted, your look is so busted.
A girl like me can’t be trusted. Trust me.
This blondes an intellectual, If you’re lucky I’m bisexual
And if I hang around you, that’s how you know you’re special.
You think you know Regina but you never even seen her
I just put that to an end, shit did just begin.
Now tell me, are you paparazzi or are we friends?
I am professional.
Confessional.
Might obsess a lil
If I feel a lull
Might take a pill
If I take a pill
I’ll feel it all
Told you before
I’m ‘10 feet tall’
I’m bigger than you
Better watch your back
You’ll never see
Regina attack.
One punch knockout.
Fade to black
I. AM. The intelligent drag woman
Can you tell me somethin? Interesting. Impressing?
Confessing, to me everything?
Try to impress me.
If you’re lucky you can undress me.
If you’re really lucky
We can fuck
But don’t get stuck
And wish for luck
And try to duck
Reality’s tongue
It overbites
I end the fights
I’m in it to win it
Began it begin it
You’re broken, I break
You’re joking, i make,
Money off of my jokes.
And I learned from the best babe.
Do i have to do everything my fucking self?
I’ll be the last bitch standing.
Or maybe i’m the first?
All I know is I got this insatiable thirst.
A chick who can kick it is just so damn sick.
You want the full monty, or maybe just a lick?
In a league of my own.
I bring the bacon home.
Don’t own a dog
But I will feed you my bone.
Fry it in the pan cause damn that’s who I am.
I’m the kinda bitch that put the WO in front of the MAN
I am the Bionic woman
I am Wonder woman
I am Frida Khalo
I’m Susan Sontag
Jane Fonda
Sylvia Plath
Naomi Klein
hell I’m even
Bell Hooks
All wrapped up into one unforgetable look.
Do i have to do everything my fucking self?
I wrote the book, and then I wrote it again.
But you can’t even get past the preface man!
I can be demanding, commanding, understanding,
assertive, compelling, arresting
Give you, the perfect landing
I can’t call in sick, there’s no one that could stand in!
I make beats in the basement
There is no replacement
I will give you face
Never do a faceplant
Regina gets meaner. tell me have you seen her?
Gonna make you sweat like you in a porn theatre
If I wanted your opinion I would give it to you.
And once I do what the fuck you gonna do?
Regina is single, like the last Pringle.
Ketchup, BBQ, what you wanna mingle?
All I need is helloooo, then I’m good to go.
You better hope your man bought you a ticket to my show
Oh shit it’s sold out. I’m sorry you can’t get in.
And besides that, you’re ugly, where do i begin?
Bag your face. Such a disgrace.
I’m the pretty pony and the one with good taste.
Do i have to do everything my fucking self?
There’s only one of me, so maybe you should love me
