juliana hatfield - a dame with a rod

Give me your hand,
Get in the van,
Do you understand?,
He's got a plan.
He's got a room for one night,
So don't try to fight.
He's got a knife,
No respect for your life.

Is it for real?,
How does it feel?
We made a deal.,
Even paid for your meal.
She's got a pain in her head.,
Her eyes are red.
Touch her again and you're dead.
You heard what she said.

And outta my town.

juliana hatfield - addicted

I think I'm addicted (addicted).
Gotta have it every day.
I think I'm addicted (addicted).
Diggin' up what I threw away.

My body is a shell.
A broke an empty shell.
A chemical well.
A little private hell.

I can't take this lying down.
I can't handle this waitin' around.
Karl Wallenda said it right.
Walkin' a wire is the only life.

I think I'm addicted (addicted).
I got an insatiable need.
I think I'm addicted (addicted).
Finally it happened to me.

The skeleton trees
Remind me of me.
They've got no leaves
To make the air we breathe.

I can't take this lying down.
I can't handle this waitin' around.
Hack another year off my life.
Take my money, take my knife.

I don't wanna die.
I don't wanna die.
Don't watch me cry.
I don't wanna die.

I can't take this lying down.
I can't handle this waitin' around.
Hack another year off my life.
Take my money, take my knife.

juliana hatfield - anemia

I want to wear you to bed
I'm hanging on by a thread
Your tattered shirt is all i have
I make love to your monogram
Needing you is killing me
I desire apathy
I need you to hold my head
Soak up this blood with bread
Feed me 'cause i'm underfed
The heart i didn't mean to spill
It suffers from a lack of will
I can't get out of bed until
This deathly pallor is erased
By your sweet hand upon my face
Anemia
I fill my veins with nicotine
To change the nature of the need
I fill my head all up with shame
To change the flavor of the pain
These cigarettes are smoking me
I had a dream that i could sleep
Anemia

juliana hatfield - backseat

The gauge is on "e"
I'm gripping the wheel
the map is so hard to read
I can't see the road
I can only see

From my hand to my mouth
From right here to the ground
But I'm too far gone to go back

Where will it end?
My weary eyes
On the space
Right in front of me.
My mind imagining
Love and empathy
Or just some company saying

Don't let go
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ...
Don't you know I know?
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ...
Oh don't let go.

An angel takes the wheel
I climb into the backseat
And get under the blanket where sleep can bathe me in dreams
With a warm humming engine and spacemen three
Sleeping with Jesus
I just need to rest.

And I cry like a baby
Who fell out of the cradle
A feeling of release
How hard can it be
To speak clearly?

Don't let go
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ...
Don't you know I know?
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ...
Oh don't let go.

Pull over and get out
You're down, clinging to the earth
You want the world to stop
Discover unknown reserves
Get up, brush off the dirt
Get back in

And don't let go.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ...
Don't you know I know?
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ...
Don't let go
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ...
Oh it's such a long road
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ...
Oh don't let go.

juliana hatfield - bad day

I ask myself why did I run away?
I guess maybe I was having a bad day
I ask myself why did I run away?
I guess maybe I was having a bad day.

I screwed it up again.
I made another friend
A desperado
Named "trouble"

He showed his gun to me
He took my money
I think I understand
What makes a boy become
A bad man.

I ask myself why did I run away?
I guess maybe I was having a bad day
I ask myself why did I run away?
I guess maybe I was having a bad day.

To suffer greatly
From the indignity
Of working for a living
Why would I want to breed?

And the monotony
Driving me crazy
I shouldn't rock the boat
I think my head's about to explode.

I ask myself why did I run away?
I guess maybe I was having a bad day.
I ask myself why did I run away?
I guess maybe I was having a bad day.

I lost my head.
I made my bed all by myself
Now I don't sleep in it so well.

I'm taking off my dress
But you won't touch me now
This room is such a mess
I really don't know how
To be the perfect girl
But in a perfect world
I'd give you what you need
And you'd be giving me
Another chance.

I ask myself why did I run away?
I guess maybe I was having a bad day.
I ask myself why did I run away?
I guess maybe I was having a bad day.

I lost my head.
I made my bed all by myself
Now I don't sleep in it so well.

juliana hatfield - bottles and flowers

Reach inside carefully.
Feel my psyche.
Make it last.
Put this moment under glass.

Nobody really can do that.
What a low fantasy.
She don't know how to live.

So alone.
Somebody take me home.
Alone too long it drags on.
It's so wrong. So alone. So alone.

Catatonic insomniac lying in the grass.
What is she thinking of, overlooked by everybody?
A long embrace, though you won't see it on her face.

She's so alone.
Somebody take me home.
Alone too long it drags on.
It's so wrong, so alone, so alone.

Feels like an end, so much unsaid.
Feels like an end, so much unsaid.

So alone, somebody take me home.
Alone too long it drags on.
It's so wrong, so alone, so alone.
So alone, so alone, so alone.

juliana hatfield - breeders

Scary breeders
They have come
With their sons and daughters

One by one
Mean and dumb
Have another

They got cable
And AC
And cellular technology

Scary breeders
They run me out of town
Creepy breeders

When the baby feeds
And the implant leaks
It's a screaming monster

Shut it up
Put some Pepsi
In the baby's bottle

Or hit it harder
Scary breeders
They run me out of town
Creepy breeders

Those breeders
Strange breeders
Dog breeders
Those breeders

juliana hatfield - choose drugs

I withhold your medicine
But you've still got a connection
They remember everything
In the sky, oblivion

I never knew your innocence
Your white skin glistens
You pried my eyes open
I've lost my ambition

I say it's me or drugs
You choose drugs
I say it's me or drugs
You choose drugs

I say it's me or drugs
You choose drugs
I say it's me or drugs
You choose drugs

Drugs, drugs.

juliana hatfield - close your eyes

I can't get you out of my mind
Lately you've been so low
You were a friend of mine
And baby you already know
If you'd ask I would try to stop all the rain
And lightning and heat waves
Your world's not over yet

Don't believe in bad dreams
Don't let the dark side bring you down
It's only a dream
Don't be afraid to fall asleep

Close your eyes
Close your eyes

I can see it on your face
Somebody let you down
You're all alone again
You're stuck in this small town
Scary monsters
They may haunt you in your times of sadness
If you could just let her go

Don't believe in bad dreams
Don't let the darkness make you cry
It's only a dream
Don't be afraid to fall asleep

Close your eyes
Close your eyes

Don't believe in bad dreams
Don't let the darkness make you cry
It's only a dream
Don't be afraid to fall asleep

Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes

juliana hatfield - congratulations

I have a sweet creamy warm little jelly roll.
I have a mind to just let my whole body go.
Thought I was hungry but now I don't really know.
If you don't want it you simply just say no.

I ain't an animal, lovable, huggable.
You look so human but hey one can never tell.
I got no secrets and I think that you should know
Life ain't a party, it's not like a video.

"I am" he said to me "equally wary."

I don't know what I like only know what I don't.
I don't like what I know only love what I don't.
I know the fire but none of the afterglow.
Killing the irony that's ruining rock+roll.

"I am" he said to me "equally wary."

Thinking of you as I lick the crumbs off the floor.
Congratulations are due as you shut the door.
Never began and so nor will it ever end.
Only desire, desire not anything more.

I am He. He is me.
I am He. He is me.
Doo doo doo...

juliana hatfield - cool rock boy

Please erase me
If you don't like what you see
My aching body
I give and you receive

I touch you when you sleep
Are you still alive?
Fetishize your beauty
The scars that you don't hide

Am I bad enough?
Am I dark enough?
Didn't know I wanted to
Turn into you

Hey cool rock boy
What will you take from me?
Cool rock boy
What will you leave me?
Cool rock boy
What will you take from me?
Nothing and everything

Is this heaven or hell?
Losing myself in you
A clean perfect line
Is it what I want to do?

The world gives you everything
My poor baby
Can I feed your pain?
Resolve goes up in flames

Do I sin enough?
Did I say too much?
Do my skin and bones
Get in the way?

Hey cool rock boy
What will you take from me?
Cool rock boy
What will you leave me?
Cool rock boy
What will you take from me?
Nothing and everything

You're gonna hate me
You're gonna hate me
Why do you hate me?
Why do you hate me?

Am I in heaven? Am I in hell? X4
Is this heaven? Is it hell? X4
Hey, cool rock boy ..

juliana hatfield - cry in the dark

Do you cry in the dark because it's easier to be alone than to talk?
When the words aren't working and you don't know how to explain these thoughts
Every look and every (e)motion has a deeper meaning
Everybody hurts nobody only when they're dreaming

Do you cry in the dark?
The light hurts when it hits your face
You don't want anyone to see you this way
You only want to be loved and taken away by someone
So you cry in the dark

And the picture of you holding hands by the fire is fading fast
And your heart is closing and you don't know how to get off this track
Every day you mime a prayer though your faith is shaken
Your godmother has got nobody because everybody's taken

Do you cry in the dark?
The light hurts when it hits your face
You don't want anyone to see you this way
You only want to be loved and taken away by someone
So you cry in the dark

This emotion is an ocean
The waves are getting high
I'll find an island, call it mine
I'm swimming for my life

Do you cry in the dark?
The light hurts when it hits your face
You don't want anyone to see you this way
You only want to be loved and taken away by someone
So you cry in the dark

juliana hatfield - daniel

At the water's edge
That's where I make my bed
No TV radiation
To fill up my head

My eyes are blue like you
Our babies will be born blue
I wait all day it's torture
He's got something to say that's for sure

He looks alright outside
But he feels so bad inside
He looks so good on the outside
But he feels so bad inside

At the water's edge
That's where I lay my head
With rocks in your pockets
You float on your back
You're drowning in your bed

I watch the birds and bunnies
You look so small and lonely
I live on sugar and honey
This is the sound of no money

He looks alright outside
But he feels so bad inside
He looks so good on the outside
But he feels so bad inside

He looks alright outside
But he feels so bad inside

He looks alright outside
But he feels so bad inside
He looks so good on the outside
But he feels so bad inside

Daniel

He looks alright outside
But he feels so bad inside

Daniel

He looks so good on the outside
But he feels so bad inside

juliana hatfield - don t rush me

You called me from your kitchen
You talked at me but you wouldn't listen
You once had me on that floor
Oh yeah

Sweet memory
Sweet lay
Your weight on me
Don't want to pine my days away
But I miss your body

Don't rush me
I'm leaving
This cut is
Still bleeding
From the promise
Of your lies
I'll let go
In good time

My heart is in the wrong place
I still want to kiss your mean face
Maybe in a month
I'll forgive you for the things you said

Believe me
I hear you
It's so clear
You hurt me
You know where
Standing with a package in the rain full of very heavy air, air

Don't rush me
I'm leaving
This wound is
Still bleeding
From the promise
Of more lies
I'll let go
In good time

Don't write me when you need me
Don't call me when you want me
Compassion, it's not your problem
I won't go out down that way
I'm getting over it

The sun just won't stop shining
I can't remember why I'm crying
It's in my eyes when I'm driving away
Blinding me to you

Don't rush me
I'm leaving
This wound is
Still bleeding
From the promise
Of more lies
I'll let go
In good time

Don't write me when you need me
Don't call me when you want me
Compassion, it's not your problem
I won't go out down that way
I'm getting over it

Don't rush me
I'm leaving
This wound is
Still bleeding
From the promise
Of more lies
I'll let go
In good time
Don't rush me / I'm getting over it
Don't rush me / I'm getting over it
Don't rush me
I'm getting over it
I'm getting over it
I'm getting over it ...

juliana hatfield - down on me

You won't meet me in the middle
Push me off the dividing line
You won't give a little
What good graces?
No explanation for your change of heart
You left the inside out
You get a little or a lot
You're either cold or you're hot
A ceiling of clouds
The tall buildings are walls
I'm walking around and I can't get out
The general fatigue of a private person trying to talk to you
You saw the movie, you don't need to read the book
A masterpiece or a piece of shit.
You're either stealing or you're taken.

You're so down on me
I think it is a fad so I don't feel so bad anymore.
You're so down on me
I think it is a fad so I don't feel so bad anymore.

You buy the pound just to burn it down
And watch the sleeping dogs die
Walk away unscathed
I'm going to take you off my thank-you list
"Will you ever get your shit together?"

Hookers and virgins, sluts and nuns
What if I am neither one?

You're so down on me
I think it is a fad so I don't feel so bad anymore
You're so down on me
I think it is a fad so I don't feel so bad anymore.

You're so down on me
I think it is a fad so I don't feel so bad anymore
You're so down on me
I think it is a fad so I don't feel so bad anymore.
