Little Earthquakes Lyrics
Lyrics
Disc
Track
Title
- Every finger in the room
- is pointing at me
- I wanna spit in their faces
- Then I get afraid of what that could bring
- I got a bowling ball in my stomach
- I got a desert in my mouth
- Figures that my courage would choose to sell our now
- I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
- looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
- I've been raising up my hands
- Drive another nail in
- Just what God needs
- One more victim
- [Chorus:]
- Why do we
- Crucify ourselves
- Every day
- I crucify myself
- Nothing I do is good enough for you
- Crucify myself
- Every day
- And my heart is sick of being in chains
- Got a kick for a dog
- Beggin' for Love
- I gotta have my suffering
- So that I can have my cross
- I know a cat named Easter
- He says will you ever learn
- You're just an empty cage girl
- If you kill the bird
- I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
- looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
- I've been raising up my hands
- Drive another nail in
- Got enough guilt to start
- my own religion
- Please be
- Save me
- I cry
- [Chorus:]
- Why do we
- Crucify ourselves
- Every day
- I crucify myself
- Nothing I do is good enough for you
- Crucify myself
- Every day
- And my heart is sick of being in chains
- From in the shadow
- She calls
- And in the shadow
- She finds a way
- And in the shadow
- She crawls
- Clutching her faded photograph
- My image under her thumb
- Yes with a message for my heart
- She's been everybody else's girl
- Maybe one day she'll be her own
- Everybody else's girl
- Maybe one day she'll be her own
- And in the doorway
- They stay and laugh
- As violins fill with water
- Screams from the bluebells
- Can't make them go away
- We'll I'm not seventeen
- But I've cuts on my knees
- Falling down
- As the winter takes one more cherry tree
- Rushin' rivers thread so thin limitation
- Dreams with the flying pigs turbid blue
- And the drugstores too safe
- In their coats
- Anda in their do's
- Yeah smother in our hearts
- A pillow to my dots
- One day maybe
- One day
- One day she'll be her own
- And in the mist
- There she rides
- And castles are burning in my heart
- And as I twist I hold tight
- And I ride to work every morning
- Wondering why
- The white coats enter her room
- And I'm callin' my baby
- Callin' my baby
- Callin' my baby
- Callin' everybody else's girl
- Maybe one day she'll be her own
- Excuse me but can I be you for a while
- My dog won't bite if you sit real still
- I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again
- Yeah I can hear that
- Been saved again by the garbage truck
- I got something to say you know
- But nothing comes
- Yes I know what you think of me
- You never shut-up
- Yeah I can hear that
- But what if I'm a mermaid
- In these jeans of his
- With her name still on it
- Hey but I don't care
- Cause sometimes
- I said sometimes
- I hear my voice
- And it's been here
- Silent All These Years
- So you found a girl
- Who thinks really deep thougts
- What's so amazing about really deep thoughts
- Boy you best praya that I bleed real soon
- How's that thought for you
- My scream got lost in a paper cup
- You think there's a heaven
- Where some screams have gone
- I got 25 bucks and a cracker
- Do you think it's enough
- To get us there
- Cause what if I'm a mermaid
- In these jeans of his
- With her name still on it
- Hey but I don't care
- Cause sometimes
- I said sometimes
- I hear my voice
- And it's been here
- Silent All These...
- Years go by
- Will I still be waiting
- For somebody else to understand
- Years go by
- If I'm stripped of my beauty
- And the orange clouds
- Raining in head
- Years go by
- Will I choke on my tears
- Till finally there is nothing left
- One more casualty
- You know we're too easy Easy Easy
- Well I love the way we communicate
- Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
- Let's hear what you think of me now
- But baby don't look up
- The sky is falling
- Your mother shows up in a nasty dress
- It's your turn now to stand where I stand
- Everybody lookin' at you here
- Take hold of my hand
- Yeah I can hear them
- But what if I'm a mermaid
- In these jeans of his
- With her name still on it
- Hey but I don't care
- Cause sometimes
- I said sometimes
- I hear my voice[x3]
- And it's been here
- Silent All These Years
- I've been here
- Silent All These Years

- So I ran faster
- But it caught me here
- Yes my loyalties turned
- Like my ankle
- In the seventh grade
- Running after Billy
- Running after the rain
- These precious things
- Let them bleed
- Let them wash away
- These precious things let them break
- Their hold over me
- He said you're really an ugly girl
- But I like the way you play
- And I died
- But I thanked him
- Can you believe that
- Sick holding on to his picture
- Dressing up every day
- I wanna smash the faces of those beautiful boys
- Those christian boys
- So you can made me cum
- That doesn't make you Jesus
- I remember
- Yes in my peach party dress
- No one dared
- No one cared
- To tell me where the pretty girls are
- Those demigods
- With their nine-inch nails
- And little fascist panties
- Tucked inside the heart
- Of ever nice girl
- These precious things
- Let them bleed
- Let them wash away
- These precious things
- Let them break
- Let them wash away

- Snow can wait
- I forgot my mittens
- Wipe my nose
- Get my new boots on
- I get a little warm in my heart
- When I think of winter
- I put my hand in my father's glove
- I run off
- Where the drifts get deeper
- Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
- I hear a voice
- Cause I can't always be around"
- He says
- When you gonna make up your mind
- When you gonna love you as much as I do
- When you gonna make up your mind
- Cause things are gonna change so fast
- All the white horses are still in bed
- I tell you that I'll always want you near
- You say that things change my dear
- Boys get discovered as winter melts
- Flowers competing for the sun
- Years go by and I'm here still waiting Withering where some snowman was
- Mirror mirror where's the crystal palace
- But I only can see the myself
- Skating around the truth who I am
- But I know dad the ice is getting thin
- When you gonna make up your mind
- When you gonna love you as much as I do
- When you gonna make up your mind
- Cause things are gonna change so fast
- All the white horses are still in bed
- I tell you that I'll always want you near
- You say that things change my dear
- Hair is grey
- And the fires are burning
- So many dreams
- On the shelf
- You say I wanted you to be proud of me
- I always wanted that myself
- He says
- When you gonna make up your mind
- When you gonna love you as much as I do
- When you gonna make up your mind
- Cause things are gonna change so fast
- All the white horses have gone ahead
- I tell you that I'll always want you near
- You say that things change
- My dear
- And if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
- And I'll go chassin' the nuns out in the yard
- And I'll run naked through the streets without my mask on
- And I will never need umbrellas in the rain
- I'll wake up in strawberry fields every day
- And the atrocities of school I can forgive
- The happy phantom has no right to bitch
- oo who
- The time is getting closer
- oo who
- Time to be a ghost
- oo who
- Every day we're getting closer
- The sun is geting dim
- Will we pay for who we been
- So if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
- And I'll go wearin' my naughties like a jewel
- They'll be my ticket to the universal opera
- There's Judy Garland taking Budda by the hand
- And then these seven little men get up to dance
- They say Confucius does his crossword with a pen
- I'm still the angel to a girl who hates to sin
- oo who
- The time is getting closer
- oo who
- Time to be a ghost
- oo who
- Every day we're getting closer
- The sun is geting dim
- Will we pay for who we been
- Or will I see you dear and wish I could come back
- You found a firl that you could truly love again
- WIll you still call for me when she falls asleep
- Or do we soond forget the things we cannot see
- oo who
- The time is getting closer
- oo who
- Time to be a ghost
- oo who
- Every day we're getting closer
- The sun is geting dim
- Will we pay for who we been
- All the way to New York
- I can feel the distance getting close
- You're right next to me
- But I need an airplane
- I can feel the distance as you breathe
- Sometimes I think you want me to touch you
- How can I when you build the great wall around you
- In your eyes I saw the future
- Together you just look away in the distance
- China decorates our table
- Funny how the cracks don't seem to show
- Pour the wine dear
- You say we'll take a holiday
- But we never can agree on where to go
- Sometimes I think you want me to touch you
- How can I when you build the great wall around you
- In your eyes I saw the future
- Together you just look away in the distance
- China all the way to New York
- Maybe you got lost in Mexico
- You're right next to me
- I think that you can hear me
- Funny how the distance
- Learns to grow
- Sometimes I think you want me to touch you
- How can I when you build the great wall around you
- In your eyes I saw the future
- Together you just look away in the distance
- I can feel the distance
- I can feel the distance
- I can feel the distance getting close
- Look I'm standing naked before you
- Don't you want more then my sex
- I can scream as loud as your last one
- But I can't claim innocence
- Oh God
- Could it be the weather
- Oh God
- Why am I here
- If love Isn't forever
- And it's not the weather
- Hand me my leather
- I could just pretend that you love me
- The night would lose all sense of fear
- But why do I need you to love me
- When you can't Hold what I hold dear
- Oh God
- Could it be the weather
- Oh God
- Why am I here
- If love Isn't forever
- And it's not the weather
- Hand me my leather
- I almost ran over an angel
- He had a nice big fat cigar
- So if you jump you best jump far"
- Oh God
- Could it be the weather
- Oh God
- Why am I here
- If love Isn't forever
- And it's not the weather
- Hand me my leather
- Go go go go now
- Out of the nest
- It's time
- Go go go now
- Circus girl without a safety net
- Here here now
- Don't cry
- You raised your hand for the assignment
- Tuck those ribbons under your helmet
- Be a good soldier
- First my left foot
- Then my right behind the other
- Pantyhose
- Running in the cold
- Mother the car is here
- Somebody leave the light on
- Black Chariot for the redhead
- Dancing dancing girl And when I dance for him
- Somebody leave the light on just in case
- I like the dancing
- I can remember where I come from
- I walked into your dream
- And now I've forgotten how to dream my own dream
- You are the clever one aren't you
- Brides in veils for you
- We told you all of our secrets
- All but one
- So don't you even try
- The phone has been disconnected
- Dripping with blood
- And with time
- And with your advice
- Poison me against the moon
- Mother the car is here
- Somebody leave the light on
- Black Chariot for the redhead
- Dancing dancing girl And when I dance for him
- Somebody leave the light on just in case
- I like the dancing
- I can remember where I come from
- I escape into your escape
- Into our very favorite fearscape
- It's across the the sky
- And across my heart
- And I cross my legs
- Oh my God
- First my left foot
- Then my right behind the other
- Breadcrumbs lost under the snow
- Mother
- Mother the car is here
- Somebody leave the light on
- Somebody leave the light on just in case
- I like the dancing
- Mother

- All the world just stopped now
- So you say you don't wanna stay together anymore
- Let me take a deep breath babe
- If you need me
- Me and Neil'll be hangin' out with the dream king
- Neil says hi
- By the way I don't believe you're leaving
- Cause me and Charles Manson like the same ice cream
- I think it's that girl
- And I think they're pieces of me you've never seen
- Maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen well
- All the world is all I am
- The black of the blackest ocean
- And the tear in your hand
- All the world is danging...
- Dangling'...Danglin' for me darlin'
- You don't know the power that you have
- With that tear in your hand
- Tear in you hand
- Maybe I ain't used to maybes
- Smashing in a cold room
- Cutting my hands up every time I touch you
- Maybe maybe it's time to wave goodbye now
- Time to wave goodbye now
- Caught a ride with the moon
- I know I know you well
- Better than I
- Used to haze all clouded up
- My mind in the daze of why it could've never been
- So you say and I say
- You know you're full of wish
- And your "baby baby baby babies"
- I tell you they're pieces of me you've never seen
- Maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen
- All the world is all I am
- The black of the blackest ocean
- And the tear in your hand
- All the world is dangin'...
- Dangling'...Danglin' for me darlin'
- You don't know the power that you have
- With that tear in your hand
- Tear in you hand
- With that tear in you hand
- 5am
- Friday morning
- Thursday night
- Far from sleep
- I'm still up and driving
- Can't go home
- obviously
- So I'll just change direction
- Cause they'll soon konw where I live
- And I wanna live
- Got a full tank and some chips
- It was me and a gun
- And a man on my back
- And I sang "holy holy" as he buttoned down his pants
- You can laugh
- It's kind of funny things you think
- at times like these
- Like I haven't seen Barbados
- So I must get out of this
- Yes I wore a slinky red thing
- Does that mean I should spread
- For you, your friends your father, Mr. Ed
- Me and a gun
- and a man
- On my back
- But I haven't seen Barbados
- So I must get out of this
- Yes I wore a slinky red thing
- Does that mean I should spread
- For you, your friends your father, Mr. Ed
- And I know what this means
- Me and Jesus a few years back
- Used to hang and he said
- I don't think you'll be back in 3 days time
- So you choose well"
- Tell me what's right
- Is it my right to be on my stomach
- of Fred's Seville
- Me and a gun
- and a man
- On my back
- But I haven't seen Barbados
- So I must get out of this
- And do you know Carolina
- Where the biscuits are soft and sweet
- These things go through you head
- When there's a man on your back
- And you're pushed flat on your stomach
- It's not a classic cadillac
- Me and a gun
- and a man
- On my back
- But I haven't seen Barbados
- So I must get out of this

- Yello birk flying
- Get shot in the wing
- good year for hunter
- And Christmas parties
- And I hate and I hate
- And I hate and I hate
- Elevator music
- The way we fight
- The way I'm left here silent
- Oh these little earthquakes
- Here we go again
- These little earthquakes
- Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
- We danced in graveyards
- With vampire till dawn
- We laughed in the faces of kings Never afraid to burn
- And I hate and I hate
- And I hate and i hate
- Disintegration
- Watching us wither
- Black winged roses that safely changed their color
- Oh these little earthquakes
- Here we go again
- These little earthquakes
- Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
- I can't reach you
- I can't reach you
- Give me life Give me pain
- Give me myself again
- Oh these little earthquakes
- Here we go again
- These little earthquakes
- Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
