linda perry - a letter to god

linda perry - bang the drum

One day we'll run away
Build a house made of straw and clay
Worship every moonlit night
While we bang upon the drum
Plant seeds to grow the trees
That will supply the needs
To raise a wall of segregation
While we bang upon the drum
A social enemy has prayed upon thy faith
A loss of dignity
Is getting in thy way
Real soon the sand dunes
Will blow across every afternoon
Blinding us with a grain of salt
As we bang upon the drum
We'll plant our feet in land
Far surpassing machines of man
Thanking mother for this revelation
While we bang upon the drum
A common legacy
Has graced me with new faith
A needle and a thread
Has woven my new fate
One day in the afternoon
One day in the afternoon
One day we'll run away
Build a house made of straw and clay
Worship every moonlit night
As we bang upon the drum
A social enemy has prayed upon thy faith
A loss of dignity is getting in thy way
One day in the afternoon
One day in the afternoon

linda perry - carry on

What will we become
Fallen children of the sun
Growing much too fast
How much longer will we last?
Without a ray of love to shine on everyone
And the silence we all wish we woke upon
We once were innocent but now we're far too gone
Carry on, chasing the sun
Carry on, we'll carry on
We'll carry on til we become one
Carry on, carry on
Tales and fantasies
Are all we're left with to believe
Castles in the sand
No one really gives a damn
Without a stone to throw, how would ripples fade away
Would there be make-believe, if nothing had to change
Who are we fooling, holding on to so much rage
We'll carry on, chasing the sun
We'll carry on, carry on
Carry on til we become one
Carry on, carry on
Welcome, welcome to this humble house of age
We would like to help you in your humble state
Time has granted you so many open doors
Now it's up to you to choose which one is yours
Carry on, chasing the sun
We'll carry on, carry on
Carry on til we become one
Carry on, we'll carry on

linda perry - fill me up

Wake me up when
The party's over
It seems I've had too much wine

Please remember
to remind me
If I had a good time

Was I friendly?
Or was I bragging?
And did I start to bore you?

Was I charming?
Or was I absent?
Did I even say goodnight?

Fill me up lets take a ride
From your mouth into my mind
Cause I grow weary from this trip I'm on, Yeah
And the ride keeps getting longer

And in morning
I'll be hungover with my face into the phone
Please forgive here on after
By the way how'd I get home?

Was I laughing?
Was I choking?
And did I start to annoy you?

Was I sleazy?
Or was I dazzling?
Did I even say goodbye?

(Fill me up lets take a ride
From your mouth into my mind
Cause I grow weary from this trip I'm on, Yeah
And the ride keeps getting longer) x 3

So wake me up when the party's over
I seems I've had too much wine

linda perry - fly away

Woman, how do you feel?
It looks like your gonna cry,
Is everything alright?
Are your days
Dropping you in a hole
No signals no signs
No reasons or rhymes
And just when you thought you'd be down on your knees
I'll say baby come with me please
And we'll just
Fly away
Fly away
Don't you need to get higher
Baby Baby Baby
I wanna get close to you
But I'm so afraid
Honey, I'm so afraid
That one day you'll wake up and realize your wasting time, your sweet time
When I pick up the phone
You're not alone
And there I'll be standing wondering what's wrong
I'll say oh baby take me along
And we will
Fly away
Fly away
Don't you need to get higher
No no no no
I don't know how you feel
Talk to me baby
Come with me baby
Come with me baby
And we will
Fly away
Fly away
Yes we need to get higher

linda perry - freeway

Can you see me
In the garden
Watering flowers all night long

Taking care of what you neglected
And I do it with a happy song

Can you feel your guardian angel
Guiding you so patiently
And you wonder if you're in heaven
?cause you move so gracefully

Welcome tomorrow
Where we flow us gently

Didn't we know
Didn't we feel it
The time to seems to stop
Outside our window

And we ride, down the freeway
Hoping to express our religion
To be free
Of everything

With my friends, sitting around drinking
Talking about how life is much too long
How some days everything's just so right
And the next day everything just seems so wrong

Laughing while complaining
But having a good time
it didn't really matter

Welcome tomorrow
Where we flow us gently

At two O'Clock in the morning
The lights go on
It's time for us to go

And the last thing I can remember,
Was an angel guiding us right through the door
Yeah, Yeah

Laughing while complaining
But having a good time
it didn't really matter
it really doesn't matter

Welcome tomorrow
Where we flow us gently

Didn't we know
Didn't we feel it
The time to seems to stop
Outside our window

And we ride, down the freeway
Hoping to express our religion

Didn't we know
Didn't we feel it
The time to seems to stop
Outside our window

And we run down the freeway
Didn't we know
Didn't we feel it
How time it seems to stop
Outside our window

And we run, down the freeway
Hoping to express our religion
To be free, Of everything
Of everything, Yeah

linda perry - fruitloop daydream

This ain't no walk in park
But I call it my home
And you're all invited

Waking up in the dark
Knowing I'm not alone
It's all so familiar

Got the trees in the sky
Got the grass in my toes
I got no tomorrows

Got the dilated eyes
And a couple No Doze

It's a happy feeling
For drag queens
The speed freaks
All the homo boys they touch me
Tainted love

The park on a Sunday afternoon

Fruitloop Daydream

Bring your life in a sack
You can come with us too
It's a happy family

Trade your crack for some crack
Change your groove for some groove
It's a poor man's party

No Dozers
The posers
All the rich kids with their candy noses

Hey mister
Spare a sister some change

Fruitloop Daydream

This ain't no walk in park
But I call it my home
And you're all invited

Waking up in the dark
Knowing I'm not alone
It's all so familiar
For drag queens
For speed freaks
All the homo boys they touch me
Tainted love

The park on a Sunday afternoon

linda perry - get it while you can

In early morning I'm still gettin high
Counting my penny's like a desperate barfly
See me and Jack Daniels stay up wide awake
Counting the circles babe that compliment the lines on my face
Baby, get it while you can
Chasing ole smokey to pacify the shakes
When your a loser babe
You have to cure the pains and the aches
Baby, get it while you can
Hell is my heaven the devil stands right by my side
There ain't no halo to hang above my life
Baby, get it while you can
In early morning as I'm sipping wine
Will you still love me, baby through rain or shine
Baby, get it while you can

linda perry - in flight

Learning what I am
Feeling like a bluebird
Flying away

I love the drops of rain
Smiling on my feathers
Guiding my way

Do, do do do do (x4)

I trip across the air
It's treating me so kindly
So far to go
So I flew unto a tree
Gather inspiration

Happy to meet
(All the other birds) x4

We talk about our flight
In this queer dimension
And how we're afraid
To carry on our own
And finish our direction
Flying home

(All the other birds) x4
Like me

linda perry - in my dreams

In my daydreams everything's worthwhile
In my daydreams I ran a thousand miles
And everybody worshiped me

In my daydreams
Hate meant just to smile
And the pain never bothered me

I want everything
Everything I want
There's no room to turn me upside down

In my daydreams
I built my own empire
With no color and no creed

In my day dreams
I'm like a bird in Flight
I'm I getting much too deep?

I want everything
Everything I want
There's no room to turn me
Upside down

I want everything, everything I want
Yeah, yeah
There's no time to turn me upside down.

I want everything, Everything I want
There's no room to turn me upside down

I want everything
Everything I want
Yeah, yeah
There's no room to turn me upside
Yeah yeah yeah, ohh...

In my daydreams
I ran a thousand miles
And everybody worshiped me

linda perry - jackie

Jackie lives in a trailer park just outside of New York
You can catch her there anytime of the day
All the boys seem to know her well
She's got big brown eyes and ponytails
With a smile that will knock you out of the state
Sometimes when she's alone at night she likes to open all the blinds
Turn the music on and start to dance
One by one she takes off her clothes
And prances all around the floor
While all the boys are peeking over the fence, saying
Sweet jackie please, won't you come and dance with me, oh so
Sweet jackie please, won't you come and stay the night with me
When she's walking down the street
It's such a sight oh what a treat
As you watch her make 'n her way through the candy store
She'll come out sucking on a lollipop
Her juicy lips will make you drop
As you fall to your knees 'n beg for more, so
Sweet jackie please, won't you come and dance with me so
Sweet jackie please, won't you come and stay the night with me
All the other girls in town don't like it when she comes around
'Cause they know that jackie will steal the show
When she walks into a room
The place lights up from her sweet perfume
Then she'll slowly take your breath right out the door

linda perry - knock me out

You knocked me out
You bit my lip
You held me down
And kept me sober

Through all this time
With no regret
I guess that's just the way I liked it

Maybe
When I'm free
I'll realize all I really wanted
To share all the peace
Something that I never wanted

So wait
Don't go
Seems as though
It's getting scary
So please
Don't you go
Wait
Don't you go

You knocked me out
I can never be the same
I pushed you over
And here we will remain

Confusion new
Do you, and nothing's right
Nobody but you has to
Hold on to the fight
Just before you cry

It won't change you
It won't change me
And I don't even wonder why

Don't touch
Feel so much

And life
Yeah we cry
I know
Baby I know

But fate
I'm waking
I feel
I touch
I breathe
I cry
I know this

So wait
Wait
I said please
Smile just before you cry

Don't you go

You knocked me out
I can never be the same
I pushed you over
But here we still remain
You knocked me out
I can never be the same

I can take the fight
But don't
Don't take it away

You knocked me out
You bit my lip
You held me down and kept me sober

linda perry - let me ride

Thank you for your sweetness
A hundred miles of pure delight
When we get together baby
My temperature's a hundred and five
I want to be your lover
Wanna do you in the back of my car
Can't you see my body aches
Let me take it just a little too far
Why don't you
Come up to my room
Let me show you how to have a good time
I won't care if you rip out my hair
'Cause baby that means that I'm doing you right
Take me up to the sky
Let me feel your body tonight
I wanna lay in your bed
Let me ride
I'll fix you all up sugar
Shift your body into overdrive
I wanna coke you up my love
Lick your lips until we're both feelin' high
Let me be your pusher
Feel you up when your gettin' too dry
I wanna taste your sweet sweet love
So shut up and turn off the lights
Why don't you come up to my room
Let me show how to have a good time
I don't care if you rip out my hair
'Cause baby i know that means I'm doing you right
Take me up to the sky
Let me feel your body tonight
I wanna lay in your bed
So let me ride
Now that the party's over
I'm sure you had a really good time
I don't need your number baby
And I don't need you to bother to write
You and me are all that we'll be
Yes I'm better if we both say goodbye
I don't care if you rip out my hair
'Cause baby I know I was doing you right

linda perry - life in a bottle

Life in a bottle
It feels so comforting
Seems like that's my destiny
Fake what you want
Selective memory
Wrap me up, and set me free

Meet my friend
Held tightly in my hand
Forgetting what I meant to say

Love but to hate
That's just the way it goes
Inch by Inch I sink below

And I love, I love, I love
All my bad company
And I know, I know, I know
that's what's meant to be
So there's nothing let for me to say.

Stoned and demented
Walking through the walls
When I banged my head I slowly fell

Sad but delighted
Swimming in my well
I guess I'm going straight to Hell

And I love, I love, I love
All my bad company
And I know, I know, I know
That's what's meant to be
And I love, I love, I love
All my bad company

So there's nothing let for me to say
No there's nothing let for me to say

And I love, I love, I love
All my bad company
And I know, I know, I know
That's what's meant to be
And I love, I love, I love
All my bad company

So there's nothing let for me to say
No there's nothing let for me to say

linda perry - lost command

Lord I feel I've lost command
The ship I've built is crashing from my hands
Everything seems so unclear
My tattered sails have all but disappeared
There was a lightning crash right over me
It struck so hard my ship began to sink
And just as the sea began to take me down
Someone reached right in and rescued me
La la la la la la la
Stranded so very very long
Lately lord I just don't feel too strong
See hopeless is carrying me away
I'm on my knees begging for today
There was a lightning crash right over me
It struck so hard my ship began to sink
And just as the sea began to take me down
Someone reached right in and rescued me
Lord hear my prayer, hear my prayer love will rescue me
Lord hear my prayer yes I know, I know, I know you'll rescue me
When your fear turns to faith, you'll find that you won't feel so alone
When your weakness turns to strength, you'll find that your suddenly back home
Lord hear my prayer, hear my prayer love will rescue me
Lord hear my prayer yes I know, I know, I know you'll rescue me
Lord I feel I've lost command
The ship I built is crashing from my hands
