Gimme God

We are not free
No more gold in your dollar bill
too many hands in the public till
gimme God
Don't answer the phone, it's the creditor man
whatcha gonna do with all your debt
gimme God
I'm tired of the hip I'm tired of the hype
too tired to play, too tired to fight
gimme God
What is right for me, is
not gonna be, not gonna be
right for you and you and you
What will always be
will always set you free
Coke head stole me car radio, but in the
lack of song I found my joy
gimme God
I can't tell if you want me to sing
or would rather watch the tv screen
gimme God
What is right for me, is
not gonna be, not gonna be
right for you and you and you
What will always be
will always set you free
Freedom is laughing in the
middle of your fall, and
laughing is falling in the
middle of your love
I can't wait to see the other side
“Die before you die,” Sufi cried
gimme God
So here's my heart and
here's my soul
Hunt me down I
wanna come home
gimme God
What is right for me, is
not gonna be, not gonna be
right for you and you and you
What will always be
will always set you free

Free My Feet

Free my feet
take off my shoes
wash my toes
I've been good to you
Be like water, and
I will be your stone
in time you will wear me down
I'll resist you no more
I'm okay
I enjoy myself
and you're okay
'cause you out-burned hell, well
Be like water, and
I will be your stone
in time you will wear me down
I'll resist you no more
Burn that bridge over
troubled love
Be my dream
resist yourself
give a damn
'cause I can tell, well
Be like water, and
I will be your stone
in time you will wear me down
I'll resist you no more
Free my feet
oh free my feet

Money Hungry

Money hungry every Monday is what they want from me, but
honey hungry is the one way queen bee came to be, she
knew about the power of the sweet one, how it drew only good to herself so she
sat herself down in the middle of the comb and waited, waited
long for the good to come home
Hard-on's soft turn off your neon, rip up your parking lot
This just in it's breaking news, the oil's finally gone
What do we do in the meantime, till we figure out how to stay cool, take a
walk in the woods or have a talk in the park, oh that's right I for-
got that they're gone too
Look at me in my Nike sneaks, got my
Carhart hat and my jeans from the Gap
Don't you think I'm sexy, Calvin Klein says you should
Michael, Liz and Tiger well they say that you could
Let's go down to the food court for a coke, I
know you'll grow to love me and contribute to the GD
P
Money hungry every Monday is what they want from you, so
pay your bills and take a chill, all the happy people do, and
don't doubt the power of the sweet one, hunger for the honey everyday, and
sit yourself down anywhere you dare and tell that man his
goods are as good, as good as
gone

Fences

I’ve been working on myself
and I’ve been digging the yard
justifying fences
For my privacy
I’ve been talking to myself
making up words as I go
improvising loving you
in my clothes
So many songs I sung are gone for good
I wonder where they went and if those fools are waiting to be heard
I’ve been looking for a stone
to kick along a country road
timing perfectly my step
so it meets my toe
So many songs I sung are gone for good
I wonder where they went and if those fools are waiting to be heard
Yet everything is here
It’s only fear that jerks my knee
and little did I know the songs were for me
You’ve been wishing on a Star
and you’ve been pushing at my door
hesitating just enough
to miss me wholly full of love
So many songs I sung are gone for good
I wonder where they went and if those fools are waiting to be heard
Yet everything is here
It’s only fear that jerks my knee
and little did I know all along the fool was me
Please, wait a little longer
Baby, this song’s for me

Hollywood
03:49

I’ve been to Paris, not France, I mean Texas
I’m quite sure love is made the same
And I’ve been to Cleveland, it’s not at all like Muskegon
girls on the street, boys in the band
My love’s not lacy, or silky, or wealthy
My love’s not Hollywood
You oughtta know that the best part of romance
lies on the cutting-room floor
I know that lovers look best in the moonlight
and rollin’ around on the sand
Now I drink martinis and I appreciate Gershwin
but I still don’t think Sam should play it again
My love’s not puppy or Las Vegas lucky
My love’s not Hollywood
You oughtta know that the best part of romance
is everything live and unrehearsed
so fly me to Venice, take me down to your Peru
‘cause my love’s not Hollywood
My love’s not Hollywood
I’ve slept in Seattle, took pills from Zhivago
and I’m still in pain from this thing they call love
If it weren’t for the promise of Prague in the springtime
I’d pack my bags and be gone with the wind
My love has no cleavage or leg under the table
My love’s not Hollywood
My love’s not Hollywood
You oughtta know that the best part of romance
is everything live and unrehearsed
so fly me to Venice, take me down to your Peru
‘cause my love is not Hollywood
My love’s not Hollywood
My love, my love, my love, my love
My love, oh my love’s not Hollywood
not Hollywood, not Hollywood
