Vacation 04:32
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.

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 05:01
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
6.
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

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 04:15
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
