DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN Words and Music by Carolyn AlRoy and Matt Keating As if you slept too late, made your greatest mistake All that drinking 'til eight. I've been thinking all day, there's another way Maybe you don't care to make a repair. All I'd do is complain And I'd drive you insane, if we ever tried Can you smell my fear, like the sun on my skin Or a fresh lemon peel. Do you know what I mean? It's a beautiful dream, but it's not even real. Are you listening to me? Do you know what I mean? Are you listening to me? Do you see what I see? Do you feel what I feel? Do you know what I mean? I open up like a clam, don't you know who I am? You're standing too close. The smell of onions and musk. I don't like to give up possibility of what could be. You are worse than a mule And you'd never move if we ever tried. I like you more than I should I won't begrudge you but good, it'll all be alright Do you know what I mean? It's a beautiful dream, but it's not even real. Are you listening to me? Do you know what I mean Are you listening to me? Do you see what I see Do you feel what I feel? Do you know what I mean? MY FIRST MISTAKE Words and Music by Carolyn AlRoy My first mistake was to make myself small So that you wouldn't be jealous at all Guess that I settled for much less than I thought And I don't owe you anymore You made me wait when you should've been there Embracing me and stroking my hair Why does it seem I can never relax. And I am under the axe. Woke up, way too old Can't shake this awful cold When the room is quiet and black I open the door just a crack. Regret is the illness that gets inside me I don't have the answers to set myself free There isn't one person, one place or one thing That can change the past It's the one thing that lasts Woke up, way too old Can't shake this awful cold When the room is quiet and black I open the door just a crack THE REALITY SONG Words and Music by Carolyn AlRoy If I walk out today It's a beautiful day And my thoughts go astray To an unusual phrase If I create reality Then it's always up to me The picture I have in mind Of your beautiful smile Could I make it come true What a wonderful coup If I create reality Then it's always up to me I've been off the job A slave to jokers and slobs They call it a crush It takes all my trust I keep bumping into you Yeah you crush me quite enough. If I escape reality Then there's only me Is there anybody there Left to blame for this affair? I can only see What I know to be real You're just an idea Just one possibility If I create reality Then there's only me Is there anybody there Left to blame for this affair? SOUND OF REVOLUTION Words and Music by Carolyn AlRoy This is the sound of revolution This is the sound of retribution This is the law and sense, each woman knows This is the cleansing of your soul This is the sound, the sound of pain The sound a tear makes in the rain A tear is clear, A tear won't stain What remains in my refrain? This is a misbehaving baby Everyone lets him have his way The rules don't apply, don't apply to him He'll never ever give in This is the sound, the sound of pain The sound a tear makes in the rain A tear is clear, A tear won't stain What remains in my refrain? I'm a law abiding dissident Adding the costs of what I've spent Hide in the tunnel for the danger to spark Til then I'm whispering in the dark Til then I'm whispering in the dark By the light of a paper lantern Queen Victoria threw up in this room Can't form my words, can't even try My father's map does not apply This is the sound, the sound of pain The sound a tear makes in the rain A tear is clear, A tear won't stain What remains in my refrain? WAITING FOR THE LIGHT Words and Music by Carolyn AlRoy Waiting for the light to go on and on and Waiting for the night and it feels so long I'm cool but I'm not strong I'm cool but I'm not strong Sometimes. Sometimes. But I know you are my love But I know when I've had enough Now you go, now you stay, now you won't go away When you leave, is when I find that the world's not all mine Now you think, now you say you want the world to go away Is that what you wanted to say? Have you lost your reasons to stray? Now you love...is that really enough? Waiting for the light to go on and on and Waiting for the night and it feels so long I'm cool but I'm not strong I'm cool but I'm not strong I'm cool but I'm not strong Sometimes, Sometimes |
