Katy Rose Album

Out of bed at the crack of noon
Blare the music and have a swoon
I can't stop thinking of your face
La la lee la lee loo lace
I'm six feet under the Bhodi tree
With my crap new-age philosophy
Diamonds where there once were stars
I'm sitting in Jayne Mansfield's car

Yeah yeah I'm independence
Yeah yeah I'm borderline
Yeah yeah I'm California
My minds all screwed and upside down
But my hearts on overdrive
Yeah my hearts on overdrive

I need to take a shower when I look at you
You sting and hurt like a bad tattoo
I wish you'd change my point of view
I cruise the canyon to get some breeze
With hidden treasures up my sleeve
I like the light and hate the heat
But I'll lick the blood right off your street

Yeah yeah I'm cherry cola
Yeah yeah I'm Candy-eyed
Yeah yeah I'm California
My minds all screwed and upside down
But my hearts on overdrive

They all come here to find a scene
But end up girls on Methedrine
Naked on a TV screen
The dreams that fall beneath my feet
Make my footsteps feel so sweet
But your kisses are my fate accompli

Yeah yeah I'm independance
Yeah yeah I'm borderline
Yeah yeah I'm California
My minds all screwed and upside down
But my hearts on overdrive

I wanna live before I die
so don't say I have to cry on
one more freezing floor
I ask you to open the door
and see how things could have gone
The reason that it took so long
before you could figure out
that for so long I was about to break
and there were no arms to keep me
from harming me and now I'm searchin back to see
how I never tried to ask for some sympathy
'cause no- nobody wants to ride with me too far
'cause I might trip away
but in your arms I'd rather stay

You might just turn into something I like
You might just turn into something I like
You might just turn into something I
li-li-li-li-li-li-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
You might just turn into something I

Want to dream about
Something I can't live withouit
My foot is in your hand
I want you to understand
how I could be confused
right after being used
but still your here in spite
when I close my eyes to dream at night
I've gotta keep my pants on
I gotta check my pulse before I've gone too far away
to hurt so i think I'll stay around to hear ya breath
saying all those words to me
unraveling my fantasy while I drink
my oleander tea

You might just turn into something I like
You might just turn into something I like
You might just turn into something I li-li-li-li-li-li-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

You might just turn into something I liii.... Yea-yea-ea-ea-ea-aa
You might just tur into something I like
You might just turn into something I like

I broke my crown while kissing little flowers
I floated up the stairs and fell through the tower

You drew the sparkle back into my eyes
with your colored pencil
Tracing the years of my hunger like a
plastic stencil

I'm still enchanted
You're still implanted in me
I'm still enchanted

The clouds caressed my sky and smoke
dried my tears up
My veins are sweetly singing while
blood drains from my cup

I blink my eyes and I am so
so enchanted
There's so much beauty that we take for
granted

I'm still enchanted
You're still implanted in me
I'm still enchanted

I wonder why it always feels like rain
My life is like some cheap champagne
The answers don't always seem to fit
My glass is full, but it tastes like shit

I need a quick decision
and a cheap reward
I'm in my last revision
hey- hey-hey-hey

So I'll cry just a little bit longer
and I'll stay two seconds more
and I'll try to be stronger
and I'll see if you catch my fall

I can't say if what I did was right
but you let me go like your sister's kite
I can't say if what I did was wronge
still you followed me like a sing-along

I need a quick decision
and a cheap reward
I'm in my last revision
hey-hey-hey-hey

So I'll cry just a little bit longer
and I'll stay two seconds more
and I'll try to be stronger
and I'll see if you catch my fall

Yea yea yeaaaaa
yea yea yeaaaaa
yea yea yeaaaaaaaaaaaa

I've made my last decision
and got some cheap reward
I need no man's permission

(instrumental)

So I'll cry just a little bit longer
and I'll stay two seconds more
and I'll try to be stronger
and I'll see if you catch my fall
if you catch my fall
catch my fall
ya catch my fall

I only wish for snow to fall
On the palm trees in the dirt
But here the sun will always shine (It'll always shine)
Even if with the clouds it flirts

For Shangri-LA is always dry
It doesn't cry like me
In Hell-LA the sun is always there ( it's always there)
Scalding the deep green sea

I'll never be a snowflake
and waltz to earth so gently
To form a perfect blanket
For someone else to walk on

I've lost my mind in wanderlust
my heart cannot be found
My body yearns for the warmth of snow
but the sun keep pouring down
These streets have signs that point somewhere
but there I don't belong
And there's no more use
To curl your hair
When your innocence is gone

I only wish for snow to fall
On the palm trees in the dirt
But here the sun will always shine ( always shine)
Even if with clouds it flirts

You can close you're eyes and tell me
that you are a visionary
and maybe you're a little scary
but you take my breath away
When you say you'll always be there
it paints such a lovely picture
but no matter how you frame it
it's still pornography

Nobody seems to hear
till I scream and shout
Evan if you tie me down
and you blow my candle out

I'll still glow
I'll still glow
I'll be the perfect someone that you'll never know
I'll still glow

I see this girl with so much anger
pacified by holding strangers
making peace with all her danger
by looking in the mirror
The pureness in my name is gone now
You've taken it too far but somehow
I'll lick my wounds and take the last bow
and hold my cold left hand

There's so many things
That you rant about
The only thing I know for sure
If you blow my candle out

I'll still glow
I'll still glow
I'll be the perfect someone
that you'll never know
I'll still glow

( guitar solo)

I'll still glow
I'll still glow
I'll be the perfect someone
that you'll- that you'll never know

I'll still glow
I'll still glow
I'll be the perfect someone that you'll never know

I throw myself into the rain
as we run down these old train
tracks again
The moon is naked in the sky
so maybe you and I could fly
or pretend

As the stars fall from grace
and light your glowing face

I'm teachin' myself to dream
I'm holding' my breath to scream
I;m teachin' myself to believe in the world
and it goes around in the sky so blue
That's what dreamers do

Can't say what day it is or year
but thou shalt have no fear
for I know your name
You can't believe what I did
and maybe I'm just a kid
but then we're both the same

I watch the hours through the glass
and now the time will finally pass

I'm teachin' myself to dream
I'm learnin' what love can be
I'm teachin' myself to
believe in the things I don't understand
I don't even know if they're true
That's what dreamers do

Stapled eyes can't open until waking
and all your lies will be your undertaking

I let my mind dance and flow
we'll magic and I'll know
as the lilacs slowly grow
all my dreams are true

You hold me like a puppet in your clammy hands
Breathing your soft innuendoes
I can feel the music through your eyes
So much pain it hurts my soul

Take me where oleander grow
Show me all the things that I don't know

I'm outside
Let me in
I'm still shedding my original skin
Show me where I've never been
I'm still shedding my original skin

I am not afraid all I have to fear is myself
me or I
My curls have twisted themselves into knots

Twist and turn me inside out
Show me what bliss is about

I'm outside
let me in
I'm still shedding my original skin
Show me where I've never been
I'm still shedding my original skin

If I wait to run away
I'll be trapped another day

I'm still shedding my original skin
Show me where I've never been
I'm still shedding my original skin

lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalallalalalalalalalalalala

They've clipped my wings again
tore them apart and then
left me
No use to fly away to
my yesterday
of freedom
My eyes died back that day
seeing the hurt I may have done
Beat my instead of them
pain is my only zen
of fun

I'll go where secrets are sold
where roses unfold
I'll sleep as time goes by

So hurting here is where I belong singing a song
blood on my hands to stay strong
The flowers in the graveyard are all gone I don't belong
there is no right to heal the wrong
soup's on hot feelin' like a do or die
I can't throw up don't think i even want to try

You still can't make me cry
you've pinned this butterfly
down
My fire's burning out
kill my flame without
a frown
And starving hurts the soul
when you're hungry for
some love
So if I close my eyes
I can really fly
above

I'll go where secrets are sold
where roses unfold
I'll sleep as time goes by

So hurting here is where I belong dreaming a song
blood on my hands to stay strong
the flowers in the graveyard are all gone I don't belong
there is no right to heal the wrong
soup's on hot feelin' like a do or die
I can't throw up don't think I even want to
tryyy- tryyyy- tryyyyyy

I keep on looking through the looking glass
And I want to fall on through
Out of the real world to a happy day
Out of the wreckage that I do

I keep on dreamin because I can even though my eyes don't close
I keep on trippin because its free to a place I only know
I keep on dreamin because I can even though my eyes don't close
I keep on slippin out of this life

Still my hand won't go to the other side
My boney fingers stay locked here
The glass is cold when I touch my face
But I can taste my salty tears

I keep on dreamin because I can even though my eyes don't close
I keep on trippin because its free to a place I only know
I keep on dreamin because I can even though my eyes don't close
I keep on slippin out of this life waiting for the drapes to close

Mirror mirror won't you kiss my cheek
And tell me I'll be OK
And warm my spirit with your sugar lips
