Kookie Jar

Enough of the queer debate
They're just lazy words like gay and straight
Have to live with the social constraints
Do ya? Can ya? Will ya?

Sometimes you don't and you wear the shame
And my hand's in the cookie jar
And your head said we went too far
So... stop!

Hey, gee, you're confusing me
What do you wanna be?
The things that you say, that you do don't equate
But it's getting late, thank God I live close by

Oh the journey into your head
Is like a trip to Mars
Oh you make me smile, hold me close for a while
Where do you keep your heart

This is a happy song
So everybody sing along
Or did I get it wrong
On the radio, on the radio, you'll never hear this song

Make you rich when you speak your mind
I was raised not to be unkind
Are you deaf? No, you're smart!
You've got a heart!

C'mon Cupid
I wanna live, I wanna give my heart
To someone well-constructed
We're the jilted

Men flutter to me
Like moths around a flame
And if they get seduced
You know I'm not to blame

Let me meet your mother
Bring me home for tea
What's the matter boy?
Are you ashamed of me?

Oh the journey into your head
In the back of a choking car
When you're thrown on the bullet train
Seems so slow, seems so far

But I'm not gonna change you now
And I'm sorry I moved too fast
I'm just passionate, I'm a natural
You know where I am but I don't know where you are

So I wait for your call
That bleep-bleep on my phone
Had a sign that says you cared
Your name on my telephone
That's your bell weep again
It just makes me love you more

Men flutter to me
Like bees around honey
Some have agendas
Some just want my money

You can have it all
You know that it grows on trees
And fear is the worst disease
See you soon

Panic

You feel like some crazy man and pull up my hat
I knew you were pretty but not as pretty as that
Big open smile, eyes full of hurt
You consume the room, you're such a flirt

Don't think me a shallow mind, my mind's quick
I can see your heart no matter how many tricks
You employ to destroy
All the hurt inside

I panic when I look at you
I fall apart inside, I really do
I say things I never meant to
I panic when I look at you

How can I compete with pretty girls and cocaine?
All those disapproving voices that seem to flood your brain
And your father's voice saying "you should be ashamed"
So why are you here with me tonight?

So I panic a little more as you start to undress
Then I feel your lips on my face and my neck
Is this really your first time, well you'd never guess
Still I feel I'm just a collision

I panic when I look at you
I fall apart inside, I really do
I say things I never meant to
I panic when I look at you

I panic when I look at you
I fall apart inside, I really do
I say things I never meant to
I panic when I look at you

Now I keep on thinking all the worst things
My mind keeps ticking away
So I call you up cause I'm really hurting
And you sound like a stranger that you never met

(I panic when I look at you
I fall apart
I panic when I look at you
I panic when I look at you
I panic when I look at you
I fall apart
I panic when I look at you
I panic when I look at you)

Only Child

He'd never say he loved you if he didn't mean it
He's my baby, I know him, that's what you said
Maybe you're too busy saving the world
To know what goes on inside his mixed up head

But anyway, who am I talking to
Didn't he tell me you were dead?
Don't worry, I know you're out there somewhere
Watching what you say, being careful where you tread

I remember that card on the table
It read "I hope all your dreams come true"
And the way your ivory tower
Said so little about you

No photographs, no memories
A blank canvas for you to paint
Oh, and how fear of confrontation
Always left you feeling faint

Only child, lonely child
How the world revolves around you
Only child, lonely child
How my honesty astounds you

Sometimes I scare myself
Sometimes I hate myself
Do you?

You told me you were rich, at least a million in the bank
Are you just a deficit? You're an empty tank
But you're still the sweetest boy that I ever caressed
And now you know beauty is a curse and with it you were blessed

You hurt the ones that love you
You dismiss them with a lie
Oh, don't say you wanna make things right
I never ever saw you try

So I'll put it in a song
Or I could just sit home and cry
How can you say hello
When you never said goodbye

Only child, lonely child
How the world revolves around you
Only child, lonely child
How my honesty astounds you

Only child, lonely child
How the world revolves around you
Lonely child, only child
How my honesty astounds you

Sometimes I scare myself
Sometimes I hate myself
You too

Song for a Boy

Bring out the Vaseline
Grease me up like the bitch I made me
And if I talk too much
Cut me dead, silently degrade me

Whatever made you come to a fool like me?
It hurts to hear you say I bring you misery
It was never my intention

This is a song for a boy in deep, deep water
This is a song for a boy in deep, deep water
It's me

I hope this picture brings you as much luck as it brought me
I'm complicated, we see things so differently
I make too much noise, you've got your shadow to keep you company
I'm like a ship in the night, drifting aimlessly
Your self-realisation and my self-pity

This is a song for a boy in deep, deep water
This is a song for a boy in deep, deep water
It's me

I feel the ocean, I'm afraid of the sea
Just like desire it might swallow me
Next time you dive, don't bring back any treasure
Leave the pearls down there, you're enough for me

Song for a boy
Song for a boy

This is a song for a boy in deep, deep water
This is a song for a boy in deep, deep water
This is a song for a boy in deep, deep water
A song for a boy in deep, deep water

This is a song for a boy in deep, deep water
This is a song for a boy in deep, deep water
Song for a boy
Song for a boy
