The Big Picture Words and Music By: Tori And Kim Bullard

Someone smashed my window
Broke into my brand new car last night
Caught my boyfriend lookin at another slender
Pair of thighs
Gotta make more money
Gotta get gotta get there faster than
The rest
Knock 'em off the ladder
If they even seem to
Stand a chance

The big picture
Gotta big white cloud
The big picture
Is starin' at me
Starin' at me

Why do I feel so threatened that somebody else will
Take what's mine
Babe it's only rented
No one really owns the merchandise
What about what i want
Somehow it got lost somewhere inside
My mother's on my case
I told her it's my life
Well, she just died

The big picture
Gotta big white cloud
The big picture
Is starin' at me starin' at me
The big picture
On a big blank wall
The big picture
Is starin' at me starin' at me
When I can see I'll try again
I've got my paints
The big picture
Gotta big white cloud
The big picture
Is starin' at me starin' at me
The big picture
On a big blank wall
The big picture
Is starin' at me starin' at me


Cool on Your Island Words By: Tori Music By: Tori and Kim Bullard

If you don't
Treat me better
Baby I'll just run away
Baby I dn't know what drives you
To play these silly games
C'mon baby
I'm much stronger than you know
Sometimes
I'm not afraid to let it show

When will you wake up
I want you more than the stars and the sun
And i can take only so much cool on your island
Is it cool on your island

I gotta brand new dress babe
Could it make you wanna try
I guess I didn't want to notice
The stars gone from your eyes
C'mon baby
I'm much stronger than you know
Sometimes
I'm not afraid to let it show

When will you wake up
I want you more than the stars and the sun
And I can take only so much cool on your island
Is it cool on your island

We could buy an airplane
Build a home in the sand
You could tell your secrets
I could understand
But then by the morning
Comes crumblin' down
And as your leavin'
Wait

When will you wake up
I want you more than the stars and the sun
And I can take only so much cool on your island
You're so cool on your island
Is it cool on your island
Is it cool baby

If you don't treat me better
Baby I'll just run away
If you don't treat me
One day you'll wake up cold
Then you'll know
You'll know
You'll know
You love me


Fayth Words By: Tori Music By: Tori and Brad Cobb

Make it in the city do what you can
Wave to the boy with a gun in his hand
Lollipop girls pave the street
Stand in line to be your limousine
You took my love you took my money
You too my sex
Took my love took my money
Give me

CHORUS:
Fayth
Help me keep myself together
With a little more fayth
With a little more fayth yeah fayth
I could keep our love together
With a little more fayth yeah
Fayth I could keep our love together
With a little more fayth
I could wake up and face the day

How do you keep the romance there When a little french maid lives downstairs
Radio blasts as the baby cries
Run to the dragon that runs my life
You took my love took my money
You took my sex
Took my love took my money
Give me

REPEAT CHORUS

I could wake up and face the day
Maybe I could start again
Why am I afraid of change
Maybe fayth could understand
Darlin' remember when I held the violets in my hand
Love can crush held too tight we could bring it back alive
With a litte more fayth

REPEAT CHORUS


Fire on the Side Words And Music By: Tori

Purple sunset
Orange moon
I'm alone again
Without you
I knew someone had to lose
Kiss goodbye
Go back to your separate life
That you have with her
Ashes blow
In the windy skye
Take my heart
As you go

CHORUS:
Baby it burns
Baby it burns
Baby it burns to be your fire on the side
Taste my fears
See how they burn
Baby it burns to be your fire on the side

Purple sunset
Orange moon
How can the music play
When the only band is made of gold
Wrapped around your hand
That I used to hold
Against my chest every night
But I still
Can hope you will see
I'm your home

REPEAT CHORUS

I knew someone had to lose
Kiss goodbye
Go back to your separate life
That you have with her
Take my heart as you go

REPEAT CHORUS


Pirates Words and Music By: Tori And Kim Bullard

Traveled far
From my home
Foreign streets
Paved with stone
Deep in my dreams
Moroccan sand
Now i sail my ship
On dry land

CHORUS:
There is a light that
Shines on the frontier
Pirates yeah
Pirates
And on a dark night
When you feel lonely
And when the world just
Can't understand you
Pirates yeah
Pirates

Steal the jewel
Watch it break
It cuts with an eye
I can't escape
The ruby heals
Alone I stand
When I said my ship
On dry land

REPEAT CHORUS

There is a light that
Shines on the frontier
Pirates yeah
Pirates
There is a light that
Shines on the frontier


Floating City Words And Music By: Tori

You went away
Why did you leave me
You know I believed you
Nothing explained
Where are the answers
I know I need you

Tell me is your city paved with gold
Is there hunger
Do your people grow old
Do your governments
Have secrets that they've sold

CHORUS:
Every night I wait
Take me away
To your floating city
By my window at night
I see the lights
To your floating city
Come and take me away
I want to play
In your floating city yeah
Floating city yeah

T.V turns off
Any of us that say what we've see you
Tell me are we
The only planet that can't concieve you
Will we be like Atlantis
Long ago
So assured that we're advanced
With what we know
That our spirit never had time to grow

REPEAT CHORUS

Is it weak
To look for saviors out in space
Little Earth
She tries so hard
To change our ways
Sometimes she must get sick of this place

REPEAT CHORUS


Heart Attack at 23 Words And Music By: Tori

Sirens wake me up
Wake me up with a cry
Things we do for attention...
Just a little reminder Dear
I am still alive
So confused
I almost threw it all away
For you
You took my higher
And you dropped me lower
Than I've ever been before

CHORUS:
If I have a heart attack at 23
I'm loving you too much
If I have a heart attack at 23
Wave bye-bye
You'll miss me
You'll miss me baby
If I have a heart attack at 23
All my friends
We waste so much love on our men
Why can't I be forgiving
While he's out
A-messin' with his Argentine baby

REPEAT CHORUS

I must be dreaming
We were together
In a land of scarlet ribbon
That you tied me to you darlin'
Roll roll roll roll on
But you know I'm never satisfied
With all the good things in my life
I thought I needed you
To be strong
I'll still miss you
When I'm gone

REPEAT CHORUS


On the Boundary Words And Music By: Tori

You said you wanted safer ground
But you got caught up in the river
I was there to save you boy
But you'd rather drown
You said you were unhappy
But that was alright
Better than not knowin' what's on the other side
I was always there
For you
And you know I always believed in you
I guess that wasn't enough

CHORUS:
On the boundary
On the boundary baby
On the boundary
Don't you need my love
You won't even let me keep you from fallin'
From the boundary
That divides our love

I gave you a kingdom that you could be lord in
And we both know you loved the taste of my world
But you ran back to your corner
Where you trip over your lines
Look left, look right, no room to hide

REPEAT CHORUS

I guess that wasn't enough
I guess I wasn't enough

REPEAT CHORUS


You go to My Head Words And Music By: Tori

Sweet love
Hello
Make a slave of me
I should have more control
Little dove
Hello
You take full advantage of my open window
When the cold of the night
Has washed away
All I want is to wake in your arms
And I know that I shouldn't let you stay
But I'm a lush for your love

CHORUS:
You go to my head
You go to my head
You go to my head
And you know I can never say no
To you and you friend

You call
Oh no (you know you want him)
Boy your heart swings
In the wind
From rose to rose
Honey bee
Go home (please stay
To that warm nest
You left minutes ago
Yes I understand
You give your time
Can't you see I've given my heart
All that light
Is from the wine
I'm such a lush for your love

REPEAT CHORUS


Etienne Trilogy: THE HIGHLANDS-Music By: Tori And Kim Bullard ETIENNE-Words And Music By: Tori SKYEBOAT SONG-(Traditional)

Maybe I'm a witch
Lost in time
Running though the fields
Of Scotland by your side
Kicked out of France
But I still believe
Taken to a land
Far across the sea

CHORUS:
Etienne
Etienne
Hear the West wind whisper my name
Etienne
Etienne
By the morning maybe I'll remember who I am

Maybe you're the knight
Who saved my life
Maybe we faced the fire side by side
Here we are again
Under the same sky
As the gypsy crystal slowly dies

REPEAT CHORUS

I close my eyes
See you again
I know I've held you but I can't remember where or when

REPEAT CHORUS
