1. Call the doctor

they want to socialize you
they want to purify you
they want to dignify, analyze and terrify you

this is love and you can't make it
in a formula or shake me
i'm your monster i'm not like you
all your life is written for you

(look out they want what you know
steal a kid break a heart steal the show
peel back the skin see what's there
i'll never show you what's in here)

you're life is good for one thing
you're messing with what's sacred
they want to simplify your needs and likes
to sterilize you

this is love and you can't make it
in a formula or break me
i'm your monster i'm just like you
all my life is right before you

(don't need you to explain the pain
i can prove to you it's all fake
she's dead but she can stand she can walk
call the doctor miracle she can talk)

call the doctor

this is love and you can't break it
in a formula or make me
i'm no monster i'm just like you
all my life is right before me

(this is not really me at all
stunt girl daring twirls watch me fall
carbon copy same body different hearts
can't tell anymore the real parts)

2. Hubcap

write in passing when there's time
hide the paper hide my mind
keep you quiet keep you blind
don't rock the boat don't read the sign

you take everything
you take what I

want from you is so defined
your suit and tie your shiny smile
your calm belief your piece of mind
i'll trade you for it then run then fly

you take everything
you take what i want
(talk late words advice
this late time flies
watch wait words lies)

you're my co-pilot
not my god pilot

3. Little mouth

damn you
damn you
smile pretty take take the money
you know me well don't you?
smile pretty take take the money
you know how to sell?
i do.

i'm your little mouth

damaged goods

you wanna try her
i think i wanna

damn you

4. Anonymous

she's worried she said too much
and talking i'm talking she's talking like books i read
it's easy it's easy it's easy to shut yourself off
never on the record it'll never show up

feel safe, inside, inside those well drawn line
boyfriend, a car, a job, my white girl life
she swallowed a spider to catch, to catch that fly
but i don't know why, why she swallowed that lie

she wants to be anonymous
i sign anonymous
she wants to be like everybody else
i sign anonymous

not enough for you to know
not enough for you to own

these words are all i have
these word are who i am

5. Stay where you are

i can't find you
stay where you are
i'm in the dark
stay where you are

(i'm alright
i feel fine
you're my life
i'm alright)

she's dead if you want and that's me if you want
stuffed in the corner "little girl lost"
it's me if you want but it's not what i want
i want to burn up the place
set it on fire
i claw and i scratch i beg and i scream
i just need you to save me this last time

she's back because she wants to not be contained
i can't tell the truth i can't speak this way

you can't find me
you're in the dark
i'm right here
stay where you are

6. Good things

got this feeling when i heard your name the other day
couldn't say it couldn't make it go away
it's a hard place can't be friends we can't be enemies
it's just too much feel the weight crushing down on my face

the hardest part is things already said
getting better worse i cannot tell
why do good things never wanna stay
some things you lose some things you give away

broken pieces try and make it good again
is it worth it will it make me sick today
it's a dumb song but i'll write it anyway
it's an old mistake but we always make it why do we

this time it'll be alright
this time it'll be okay

7. I wanna be your joey ramone

it's fine
when it's all mine
it's on my wall
it's in my head
memorize it till i'm dead
it's yours
now i'm so bored

i wanna be your joey ramone
pictures of me on your bedroom door
invite you back after the show
i'm the queen of rock and roll

i just don't care
are you that scared?
i swear they're looking right at me
push to the front so i can see
it's what i thought
it's rock'n'roll

i wanna be your thurston moore
wrestle on the bedroom floor
always leave me wanting more
throw away those old records

we go downtown
put on our best frowns
give me a chance
i know i can dance

it's fine
cus it's all mine

8. Taking me home

you come here to my work
you come here every day
to make sure i'm still here
you look at me that way

rings on my fingers and
bows in my hair
you think i'm your present
you'll unwrap me here

is this a bad dream
is this really my life
well you wanna know
you'll show me tonight

NOT FOR SALE
NOT YOUR GIRL
NOT YOUR THING

i'm here on the counter
with no money down
for nine ninety nine
you're taking me home

a dozen red roses
a cute little house
a cheap little ring
the deal is cut, now

something is messed up here
something isn't right
we're s'posed to be free
i'm s'posed to be mine

this part of my body
that you're pricing now
i'm cutting it off
i'm throwing it out

NOT FOR SALE
NOT YOUR GIRL
NOT YOUR THING

i got me mixed up with somebody else
i got me mixed up with somebody else

9. Taste test

bad thoughts bad car bad drive
a mess a lot a lie
i can't be alone tonight
i'm tired i'm hurt i'm fine
you've always got me guessing why
nothing the same after tonight
nothing is gonna make it right
keep the house quiet dark tonight

one sour one sweet one lime
taste both taste yours taste mine
too late too long no light
you've always got me guessing why
nothing the same after tonight
nothing is gonna make it right
tell me what's going on inside

(where are you now
where did you go)

that's how things happen to find you
and how am i gonna tell you
don't start i'm not gonna fight you
could be i'm not gonna find you

10. My stuff

say no way
we won't let them grow up that way
things have changed
but some things have stayed the same
hold on what you want to
but some things are passed down anyway
hold on to what i want to
i don't think i know what i just

leave me without a god without belief with out a cause
without a path that i should take
without a choice that a should make
such an easy thought and now i had it out i lost it
i guess i need your help and now i
guess i need your help and now i

say no way
don't let things go on this way
a clean slate
but it don't work that way
hold on to what you want to
but some things are passed down anyway
hold on to what i want to
i will have to own what i have

it's not my stuff it's just too much
it's just my stuff it's just my

11. I'm not waiting

i'm not waiting
till i grow up
i'm not waiting
till i grow up
to be a woman

honeybabysweetnessdarlingi'myourlittlegirl
yourwordsarestickystupidrunningdownmylegs

i'm not waiting
till i throw up
i'm not waiting
till i grow up

12. Heart attack

i wait for
hit and run
could happen any day

i'm walking into your house
i really want to figure you out
it's always somewhere/someone new each day
as long as i'm not looking for me

insomnia
popping pills
it's still too tight
it's never right

threw out anything i own again today
something's bound to give me a disease
i still feel like nothing next to you
because you want everything
new

stress case undone preplanned no fun
i'm scared i've scared them all away
high strung let go loss of control
i'm scared i've scared them all away

heart attack
hit and run
