Doll Revolution lyrics

If I told you I don't mind
Would you believe me?
If I say to you, you're not my kind
Do I deceive you with this fragile disguise?
Ask me no questions
I will tell you no lies
If you could read my heart I would not deny
So I pretend

All these tears on my face don't imply
That I'm not happy just to see you with her
One small voice that will never be heard
I'm in love with you

Oh my love you say this is the end
I'll tell you it's the hardest thing
I've ever had to do my friend

But I'll go
I'll do what you say
But when I walk
I will walk away from you

And the dark place you come from
The hurt you share between the two
Run now, hide what you know to be the truth

But you know
I will walk away
I'll pretend
I don't feel something breaking
Look at yourself

I carry you up in my arms
Hear you sing yourself to sleep
The sky opens up over your room
You sail into your moonlight dreams
There's so much more than we can see
There's so much more than we can see
All we are and all we need is
All we are and all we need is
All we are is all we need to be
Grateful, oh grateful
Grateful, oh grateful
I play this guitar, sing these songs

When the daylight disappears
When you're haunted, I'll be near
When the shadows come to call
When you're too scared to stand tall
I can stand tall
Dream and let your dreams go
It's your turn to fly
Long as I'm standing by
You can close your eyes
I will take care of you
Long as you want me to
Whatever else I do
I will take care of you
Don't you worry, while you sleep

You're sending me mixed messages
Mixed messages that I can hardly work through
Where the heart lies
Which message is coming truly from you
When I get too close to you
I feel the fear, can almost hear it
Then you call me late at night saying can I be with you
I wanna be with you
You're sending me mixed messages
Mixed messages that I can hardly work through
Where the heart lies

Hey Sugar I had that dream again
I saw you in your red crushed velvet suit
Rolling on my feather bed
A Cheshire cat in yellow Beatle boots
(but) who's that stranger lying in your arms
Her fingers running down your tattooed chest
Valentino's cranking up the charm
And it's coming like a freight train
These pictures in my head
Hey Mister Nickel Romeo
Everybody knows your name

Take all of the money
Take all of the sweet plum of the pie
Don't say that you love me
Don't say it's for me it's a lie
Now you got yourself so wrapped up in it
All you gotta do is wait a minute
All you gotta do is ride the ride
Ride the ride, ride the ride

Blowing a smokescreen
Never looking at me in the eye
You make it look easy
For someone afraid of falling to fly

Single by choice
Never marry, never ever divorce
Listen to the solitary voice
Tell you I'm single by choice
Single by choice
Never marry, never ever divorce
Listen to the solitary voice
Tell you I'm single by choice
I know what you're thinking
She can't be complete
'Til the right kind of man
Come sweep her off her feet
Well I've been there before
Times four or times five

Everything in the moment starting rear
Something you said is hanging in the air
Now i know my life is sweeten it
Changing everything

Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Running threw my head
Something i have dreamed about
And i feel so real, and it feels so right
[Something you said]

Showing you every weakness and feeling strong for it
I used to run from real life

A summer's day so long ago
A thousand boats dancing on the bay
I came to you inside a dream
We both held hands and fell into the water
You never claimed to know me well
The dark-eyed son, the privileged man
You fond me bitter, you thought me cold
Well now I'm gonna make you understand
My mother died, my father cried
He left me lonely by the waterside
Waterside so deep and wide

If you need me
I'll be here
On my knees
On my knees
In the neighbor's garden
Where the light is growing long
Stealing Rosemary for you, my love
It's the tiny lies I tell
For you to please
You to please
Early in the morning
When the light is growing strong
Stealing Rosemary for you, my love
I'm Stealing Rosemary

Flowers crushing on my skin
Tuscan Blue
All for you

I don't think about us much anymore
Frankly, the topic has become a bore
And you don't come up much in my conversation
I don't think about you on vacation
But when it rains
When it rains
When it rains
That's when I remember
That's when I remember
I remember you
I remember you
I don't think about you when I'm sleeping
It doesn't even cross my dreamlike mind

Head in the clouds you never touch the ground
You're in such a hurry
You might lose what you've found
Uptown spinning 'round
Never stop to hear a sound
Stand back and take a look around you
Running from the pressures of a restless world
Hush for a moment, baby, just be still
Here now
Spend a minute next to me
Slow down
Take the time to let it be
I wanna show you

Can we try to salvage what we can
From the weight of water and sand
And lifts us up again
Well this world is spinning out of control
I'm bracing just to keep hold
As the clouds move in
With a driving wind so strong
Could it be that we're lost at sea
And we're drowning under the stars
Up to me I would ride this wave
Before we drift too far

What a lonely way to be
Lost at sea

Who dries your eyes when you cry real tears?
Who knows or cares what an imitation is?
(Only you do)
You can paint his nails
Make him wear high heels
Why waste time altering the hemline
(Only you do)
Tear Off Your Own Head
Tear Off Your Own Head
It's a doll revolution
You can bat your lashes
You can cut your strings
Pull out his hair with your moveable fingers
(It looks so real)

A friend told me yesterday
You've been looking for me
If I've been staying out of your way
I've done it intentionally

Saw you walking with her (walking with her)
Always kept that few steps behind, yeah
Wonder if she knows for sure (she knows for sure)
Her man's going on walking the line

Then I say to myself: beware!
It's getting out of hand (out of hand)

(S. Hoffs/V. Peterson/D. Roback)
Susanna

Well, if you're feeling down
You know I'll be round
And you know that you can call on me

You'll wish you were dead
Take a breath instead
Yeah, take a piece of everything you see

And you know that the world was made for you
Life's in shape, so what're you gonna do
Your eyes are painted blue
Look again, you see it's true, yeah

Waiting For You

I get so restless here alone
That's why I call you on the phone
I get nervous, over-anxious, lose control
Waiting for you, baby

Lately I dream that I'm in your arms
When you're here I feel I'm safe from harm
I'd do anything that you want, babe
Anything at all
And I'm waiting for you to see

Who dries your eyes when you cry real tears?
Who knows or cares what imitation is?
Only you do

You can paint his nails
Make him wear high heels
Why waste time altering the hemline?
Or do you?

Tear of your own head
Tear of your own head
It's a doll revolution

You can bat your lashes
You can cut your strings
Pull out his hair with your moveable fingers
It looks so real
