It was late one night, just a tick before two You wouldn’t be surprised I was thinking of you You see you can’t sleep one in a bed made for two And the mind won't think what it don’t want to do But babe, there ain’t nothing more true, than some sugar from you It takes two lumps of sugar for a tea for two It takes two legs to tango and two hearts to swoon It takes two clever minds to come up with a tune It takes two hands to hold onto one afternoon The interesting cats are in the back of the room The best conversations happen under the moon There ain't a worse time for love than the month of June There ain't worse words to hear then “I'll see you soon” But babe, there ain’t nothing more true than some sugar from you I’m sick of this war, I’m sick of this town Sick of small people dragging me down Sick of the news and what it has to say Sick of politicians that add to the fray Sick of love condensed into texted words Sick of leaving messages that never get heard Sick of the pleasantries that aren’t that pleasant Sick of the promises that never get kept Sick of cozying up to power and greed Sick of being the only thing that people don’t need But babe, there ain’t nothing more true Babe there ain’t nothing more true Than some sugar from you

You're so good looking It hurts my eyes You get things cooking Right here in my thighs It's so wrong, it's so wrong, it's so wrong What you do to me I can't stop looking Into your brown eyes The more that I'm looking The less that I find Is it so wrong, so wrong, so wrong What you do to me? Seen girls like you, with my blinders on, Thought I could move her lips when she don't even know the song When we get together and the lights ain't on We can rock it in rhythm til the night turns dawn But I need a girl that's in the same key At least in a key that can harmonize me I don't mean to sound mean but it's a sad reality You ain't ever been the woman that can satisfy me but You're so good looking It tricks my mind And right now you're working Up my appetite It's all wrong, it's all wrong, all wrong What you do to me

You 04:51
You are so boring But you make me so horny I can’t fall asleep at night I see your lips but I think your thighs You are so frustrating You don’t give but you take it We’re not going to talk tonight If you think, I’ll shrink so shut up, spread wide You keep me so inflated With your coy flirtations This ain’t gonna turn out alright My juice just hurts, I’ll blow my spine Don’t know right I don’t know wrong I want your lips where they belong You are so jaded But your hips make this complicated Don’t know what part of me owns me now Just know what’s inside me must get out Feels so right Don’t know if it’s wrong But I’m just gonna **** you all night long

Ourselves 04:33
Where do I turn for inspiration? To the ghosts in the halls of the subway stations They're telling me I'm a nameless face in history The song sounds good inside my head Til the music stops and then you're dead So sing it now cuz they'll be a day you don't know how Now why cant we Breathe and release For ourselves For ourselves There's a little girl in a subway car With her face up against a graffitied wall She's dreaming, too, hoping the train goes somewhere new Nobody tells us when to get off The ride keeps going until it stops It's through and through, three to ten to sixty-two So why dont we Pull the brake and release From ourselves From ourselves From ourselves Hundreds of girls walk through this city Can't figure out how they got so pretty But then one comes through, and the others meld into the blue Hundreds of dreams pass through these walls It's a wonder we can't count them all But then one comes true, and it's supposed to count for me and you So why that face It's not you, it's the place That makes ourselves Ourselves We’re not well Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na Na na na na Na na na na na na na na

Hurricane 06:32
Young, I knew the answers Knew my part in the war Knew the way to the altar Knew the shoals from the shore Young, I had a heartbeat Beating just for you Young, I felt a heartbreak Bled the whole night through But oh, oh, oh, oh We grow old, oh, oh, oh You shake my heart around like a tree in a hurricane And I don’t know how much more it can take It bends and it bends each time and again Soon I’m afraid it will break I’m as strong as a man on the outside But on the inside I’m weak like a boy You shake my heart like a hurricane Yeah you throw it around like a toy Now I don’t seek answers Just put on my blue jeans Walk alone un-lonely Sifting through the debris Don’t know where this road takes me Don’t know the strange from the norm But I never felt such comfort Than in the calm after storms And oh, oh, oh, oh We don’t know, oh, oh, oh
