Call the Doctor I have had enough Call the Doctor I have had enough Of trying, trying, trying, trying, trying. Trying to be the one. Electrify your bones and do plug in. Electrify your bones and do plug in. Instead of trying, trying, trying, trying, trying. Trying to be the one. What'd you think? You had to be. What'd you think? You had to be. Other than a hand a heart A hand a heart heart A hand a heart A hand a heart to me. What did you have to be? Call the doctor I have had enough Call the doctor I have had enough Instead of trying, trying, trying, trying, trying Trying to be the one. What'd you think? You had to be. What'd you think? You had to be. Other than a hand a heart. Hand a heart heart. Hand a heart A hand a heart to me What did you have to be? Easy as it goes We all fall down and think about the sounds that we make.

You will hear a weak beat and sing. You will hear a weak beat and sing. You will hear a lullaby And open up your mouth and eyes. But you will never be in love. And I will go and cry myself to sleep I will go and cry myself to sleep I will cry in solitude and pray that someone rescues you But you will never be in love. And nothings gonna happen Even though its raining. Nothings gonna happen Even in the dark Nothings gonna happen Even though its raining Nothings gonna happen Even in the dark. (Ha Ha Ha Ha) And Robots only hear what they can feel And Robots only feel what they can see And yeah it might be zeroes and ones I'm sure but zeroes and ones are just not me. And nothings gonna happen Even though its raining. Nothings gonna happen Even in the dark Nothings gonna happen Even though its raining Nothings gonna happen Cause we are worlds apart And don't tell me to wait Another time for another time. Because I don't think I could take Living a lie, living a lie. But I do appreciate you. Yeah I do appreciate you. Being kind. Cubicles they drown out all the sound. Cubicles they drown out all the sound. Of a heart thats beating wildly For a girl thats nothing like me And I'm jealous of the love she's found. But over and over I'm trying to sway from the games that we play But over and over You're getting your way. And I do have to say That I'm trying to make it O.K. To walk away. And don't tell me to wait Another time for another time. Because I don't think I could take Living a lie, living a lie. But I do appreciate you. Yeah I do appreciate you. Yeah I do appreciate you. Being kind. And nothings gonna happen.

Bluebird 03:37
I am sorry my little man. I kissed him on the mouth I did. I kissed him on the mouth I did. While you were looking down. I am sorry my baby boy. I played you like a little toy. I played you like a tinkering toy. And you finally threw me out. But I'll come running two two sheets to the wind. Don't, Don't, Don't, Don't you let me back in. Cause I'll only break your heart again. Saw a bluebird in the streets. He sang me a song so sweet. He sang me a song so sweet. Almost felt like crying. He lost a lover. He lost a friend He did exactly just what I did. He did exactly just what I did. And God I feel like dying. But I'll come running two two sheets to the wind. Don't, Don't, Don't, Don't you let me back in. Cause I'll only break your heart again. Call me baby Call me love Call me baby Call me love Cause without you This life ain't much. But I've got to be going My wicked ways have won. So, when I come running two two sheets to the wind. Don't, Don't, Don't, Don't you let me back in. Cause I'll only break your heart again.

So Vain 03:15
Put your cigarette On your baby's lip Hope and pray it don't burn. Like your mother's did. Lay your castanets On my pillow In the morning And I'll play your hair Like a grand piano. Ooh, Ooh, Ooh so vain. And my words don't feel words When they come out More like stars and birds Muddled into sound Cause you're the ruling king Of open hearts I'm the caution queen Never knowing where to start. When I've found the words to say Not around, you're not around. But I'll say them anyway. In muddled sound, in muddled sound. Je t'adore. La vie. Je t'adore. La vie. L'amour. Oh, so vain.

She is so damn pretty. She is a mess that you want to clean up. She has a brilliant career. Of being the woman you hold dear. And everybody's got to hold their rank. And everybody's got to hold. Cause I want a heart that is not occupied. I want a man who is too dumb to hide And you've sealed your fate. Now I'm laughing on your grave. I tried to give you space Create a longing that no one could ever replace. But I was fooling myself While I was laying in bed You were holding your ear To her mouth. Everybody's got to hold their rank. Everybody's got to hold. Hold. Cause I want a heart that is not occupied. I want a man who is too dumb to hide And you've sealed your fate. Now I'm laughing on your grave. Everybody's gotta hold, Everybody's gotta hold. Their rank.

Oh everyone says that you are in love. But I don't think you are and here is why. Oh everyone says that you are in love. But I don't think you are and here is why Cause you talk about her her her too much. When you should be painting portraits of my face. Cause you talk about her her her too much. And that is why our love can not take place. Oh everyone says that I am just crazy But crazy never looked so good did it baby? Oh everyone says that I am just crazy, oh. But crazy's the only way to be. When you talk about her her her too much. When you should be writing poems on my skin. Oh you talk about her her her too much And that is why your love cannot get in. Oh everyone says that I am in love. But I can tell you surely that I'm not. Oh everyone says that I am in love. Oh, but like a gun you're chances are now shot. Cause you talk about her her her too much. When she shouldn't hold a candle to me. Oh you talk about her her her too much And that is why our love will never be. That is why our love will never be.

Summertime 03:32
Oh, Oh, Oh, It's summertime. Everyone is drinking and they've got a little moonbeam On their mind. Oh, Oh, Oh, let the cold wind go. Everyone is kissing and they're sipping out the garden house. Whiskey now in rows. It's gonna melt your heart gonna melt your heart. I don't want to love you I don't even wanna start. But it's gonna melt your heart, gonna melt your heart. Oh, Oh, Oh let the cotton grow. Momma's in the kitchen And she's scraping fingers cross the rows. Of bread along the stove. Papa's in the barnyard with the whiskey and the wine. Papa's getting older and his tiny little heart is hard to find. Mama searches all the time. But he don't wanna love her He don't wanna even start. I pray it's gonna melt his heart. Gonna melt his heart. And when the hot hot heat. Is coming on. And the sweat drips from your darlin's arm. And he just wants to be love. But with the summer sun, with the summer sun, with the summer sun. The demons gonna come. Oh, oh, oh, it's summertime. Baby's in the kitchen And his tiny little mouth it starts to cry. It's crying all the time.

It seems to me you've quarantined your little hands From ever interlocking with mine. It seems to me you've quarantined your little heart From ever setting foot up from the south. And no medicine no therapy Could ever fix this hole in me. So I'm singing Bye bye bye And good for me my childhood house has fixed its glass And covered all its cracks with styrofoam But whoa is me my family will not grow back What good is a pretty house with a broken home. And no medicine no therapy Could ever fix this hole in me. So I'm singing Bye bye bye I I I I I finally understand that I I I I I have a red right hand.

I'm a steal driving woman With my heart in the grass And a total radio face. I've got blisters on my feet. And a little heart that bleeds And I'm running from the law today. But I don't want to die I don't want to die And a bullet for to blame For all our hurt and sorrow But lets talk upon the morrow Cause tonight there is only one thing. That I don't want to die No I don't want to die Without your limbs to hold me No, I don't want to die Without your lips to scold me No, I don't want to die And all the whiskey sinners Who are hunting down our innards and trying to put em on display Are coupled with miss misery She's always been a friend to me And she's gonna lead us to the grave But I don't want to die No, I don't want to die Slow it down or I'll throw up And I'll spill my coffee cup Come on darling let's make love. Before, they find us. So let's ignore the fire All their bullets will expire Oh they're gonna run right out of darts And yeah I see your bleeding But get up darling we're leaving Cause that bullet didn't make it through your heart And I don't want to die No I don't want to die Without your limbs to hold me. No I don't want to die. Without your lips to scold me. No I, don't want to die.
