Vanessa's A Star

She is always on my mind
Her eyes look just like lemon rinds
Left in the sun
And I know that she's the one for me
She's in all the magazines
I cut the pictures out
Remembered all her scenes
It's like she's staring through the screen
I wrote a letter I'm gonna send
To let her know that she's
Got a friend in me
If she ever needs some sympathy
My Vanessa's a star
She's my favorite star
She does her scenes in just one take
She makes the other girls look fake
When she's up there
But the actors don't seem to care
Vanessa's all alone tonight
I wanna be there for her
Tell her it's alright
But she's always one step out of sight

Runnin' 'round in circles
Never seemed to do me much good
I can't fly like an aeroplane
But I thought I could
Now I'll shake hands with the enemy
Wear the noose around my neck
Anything to keep the demons
Inside me in check
I only want a warm familiar place
Somewhere where I can melt in your embrace
Only you can save me from disgrace
And that's why
Next time - I'll learn my lesson
Next time - That's my confession
Thought you were gonna take care of me
So why am I in such bad shape?
It's hard to leave the ground when someone's
Tugging at your cape
Now I feel just like a drag queen
Who fell asleep upon her throne
Snoring while the castle's burning
Left without a home
If I give my soul to you
Promise not to tell
'Cause I don't wanna face the devil
With nothing left to sell

Hey, is that a time bomb ticking in your head?
'Cause if it blows everybody knows that I'll be dead
I looked around inside your mind and found a mess
I don't wanna hang around to see what happens next
I guess I've finally figured out what makes you tick
It just so happens that's the thing that makes me sick
Remember the first time that I laid eyes on you?
Wasn't the right thing but what else could I do?
Another problem - I guess it's all on me
All of these bad times ain't where I wanna be
Hey, is that a landmine buried in your heart?
I should have known that I was screwed right from the start
I'm sure you thought that you were being cute and clever
Now I hope I see you on the other side of never
I had no secrets - I had nothing up my sleeve
Now when I think about it - I was so naive
Remember the first time that I laid eyes on you?
Wasn't the right thing but what else could I do?
Remember the last thing that you said to me?
Don't dive in - the water's yellow
I'm not so sure that you were straight with me

The Last One

You were the last thing on my mind
Then you walked into the room
And my heart sank six feet deep
Everything's changing can't you see
Sometimes I can smell your hair
I can't begin to tell you how many times I fell in love
But you were the last one
I'm the epitome of me
But please don't pity me
All this booze can't fill your shoes
You're like a breeze blowing through the trees
'Cause everyone can feel you
But I can't ever see you
You're the girl worth waiting for
Forever and ever
That velvet summer on my end
The very thing that could not bind
Unraveled my all thoughts and dreams
And sent me tumbling
You're everything to me now
The sun, the sky, the earth and sea
And everything that's in-between
Sometimes I still smell your hair
I can't begin to tell you where
Or how many times I fell in love
But you were the last one

Irene my dear
Won't you come down
I'm begging you please
Although I'm done caring
The neighbors are staring
Please come down my dear
Irene my friend
Please don't tell me that this is the end
I feel no sorrow
I'm leaving tomorrow
Don't tell me this is the end
We have had dark days before
Don't throw it away
Even if I don't love you
What will your family say
Irene my dear
Please keep your voice down
The neighbors will hear
Please don't be careless
Although I couldn't care less
Please come down my dear
Won't you come down my dear

Sometimes I feel like the world's coming down on me
Coming down for the last time
But I don't need an old friend to comfort me
There ain't gonna be a next time
Gonna drive down to the sea
Drown in all the sorrow burning deep inside of me
Wish it all away
Mistress of the sea - I hear her calling my name
Like a sonic wave - I will obey
Spend the rest of my days slowly drifting
Put my feet in the sand - wait for my wave
And ride it into the sunset
So alive with the sounds of the ocean breeze
I think the mermaids can hear me
I can barely see the shore
I'll live with crustaceans crawling on the ocean floor
I can be Neptune for a day
And the current's getting strong
Watching sirens capture lovesick sailors with their songs
This is my final place
