Track Name: Rainbows and Unicorns
i want to suspend disbelief,
want to fail my reality check
I want my heart to beat so hard it breaks
i just find it hard to believe in the things that i used to
like rainbows and unicorns
and how love can make me shake


i want you to break my heart - to save me
i want you to crush my dreams
cuz it'll mean that i had some
and i want some


i want to laugh so hard i choke
and can't breathe
I want you to make me cry
so i can't see
i want to walk five miles
in the pouring rain - and get soaking wet
just to find that you aren't home
and then do it again

i want you to break my heart - to save me
i want you to crush my dreams
cuz it'll mean that i had some
and i want some

i want to suspend disbelief,
want to bounce my reality check
I want my heart to beat so hard it breaks
i just find it hard to believe in the things that i used to
like rainbows and unicorns
and sparkles and the color pink
and dishes not left in the sink
and how you used to look at me
before we started arguing
and how love can make me shake


i want you to break my heart - to save me
i want you to crush my dreams
cuz it'll mean that i had some
and i want some
Track Name: Gypsy
I'm in love with a gypsy,
Oh woe is me
And you would know my pain
If you'd ever loved a gypsy
I'm in love with a gypsy
Never know where she is
Never know if she wants to be touched
If she wants to be kissed

She never calls
She never writes
She always shows up in the middle of the night
Oh the irony... I've been captured by a gypsy

I'm in love with a gypsy
I tried to let her go
But the harder I try
the more I know
I'm in love with a gypsy
I just can't let her be
She wanted her freedom
So she took mine from me

She never calls
She never writes
She shows up with 23 friends in the middle of the night
Oh the irony... I've been captured by a gypsy

I tired to keep her
without tying her down
But the more love I gave her
The more she left town
I said no strings attached
But I didn't mean it
Because now when she leaves
Oh god do I feel it

She never calls
She never writes
She always shows up in the middle of the night
Oh the irony... I've been captured by a gypsy

Now I just can't leave
What if she came by
If I wasn't here
She might never try ...again
I'm stuck in a cage
I'm afraid to lose
It's made of her absence
Oh god I'm confused

She never calls
She never writes
Last night she showed up with 23 friends, they all had to be fed
Oh the irony... I've been captured by a gypsy
Track Name: Slip Away
Slip away, slip away
from my side
if you don't slip away
I might keep you for all time

others before have fallen
been left behind
but not you
you're here just in time
just in time

slip away, slip away
if I say it's you
if you don't slip away
it might become true

others before have tried
it's always been a lie
but not you
you're here just in time
just in time

slip away, slip away

slip away, slip away
Track Name: Impossible Girl #2
She's not sick but she's dying
She's not in love but it's forever
She doesn't like you but she doesn't mind
You can come over and steal her time
It grows in the garden
Track Name: Alligator Blues
She left you for a man
with alligator shoes
She says she wants you back
but she just can't choose

You can only wait
for her to change her mind
or you to change your heart
but I think you're just being blind

She'll leave you once again
this much I know
or maybe you'll leave her
as the summer turns to snow

She left you for a man
with alligator shoes
She'll leave you once again with those

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAlligator blues
Track Name: Big Easy
i went to new orleans
i fell in love
don't know how it happened
it's all i can think of

it may be the big easy
it's not easy to leave

met a pretty lady there
she said you'll never go
you have that look in your eye
new orleans has a hold

it may be the big easy
it's not easy to leave

my old home caught fire
burned to ash
new orleans itself
is almost a thing of the past

it may be the big easy
it's not easy to leave

as i step on my train i think
i don't wanna go
it may not always be here
and it feels like home

it may be the big easy
it's not easy to leave

i went to new orleans
i fell in love
don't know how it happened
it's all i can think of

it may be the big easy
it's not easy to leave

it may be the big easy
it's not easy to leave
Track Name: Love is an Organ Grinder's Monkey
Love is an organ grinder’s monkey
On a three day bender, behind the wheel of a truck
He’s drivin’ down the road no shirt on
He’s flippin’ you the finger
He’s got a bottle full of bloody guts and
a shotgun full of stardust.


And love will shoot you down


Love's no pretty thing, no starry eyes
Love won’t hold your hand or tuck you in for the night
Love will swallow you whole and pick his teeth with your bones
And when you’re done he’ll spit you out and leave you
to clean the mess he’s made of your home.


And love will shoot you down


and in the dark and in the night
and when the moment's feeling ripe
You’ll see the sounds and hear the signs
and you’ll be love’s monkey in no time


Oh you stupid little monkey
Love shot you down
