The Devil Is an Angel
02:22

Well you look just like an angel
You sound so bright and true
You seem so sweet coming down my street, but the devil is an angel, too
Yeah the devil is an angel, too
Somehow you seem familiar
Haven’t I seen you before
Got a different name, but is it the same old heartache comin’ round my door
You got one hand on my shoulder
You keep one behind your back
I’m gonna need some identification, baby, before I let you unpack
You look at me so tender
But I wonder if there lies
Something dark and sinister behind those innocent eyes
Well you coo just like a baby
Make me wanna let you in
You seem sincere, but if I trust you, dear, will I ever see my soul again
You sound just like a preacher
You stand upright and tall
But I wanna know, honey, after the show, do you have any love at all
I don’t mean to doubt
Your sincere intent
But underneath there’s a look about something mean and malevolent
You look just like an angel
You sound so bright and true
You seem so sweet coming down my street, but the devil is an angel, too
Yeah the devil is an angel, too
The devil is an angel too, that’s right
The devil is an angel too

Breaking Point
02:50
|
|||
Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s the way I take it
I’ll admit I can be a little much sometimes
But there’s something in the things you say and the way you say it
Makes me wonder if you want me to lose my mind
I’m at the breaking point
You’re breaking me, baby
Everything you say to me, it’s driving me crazy
I know what you’re doing, but you need a new toy
‘Cause you’re breaking me
I’m at the breaking point
You’ve been playing little games ‘til I can’t get my brain untangled
It’s like I’m looking at the rain and you’re telling me the sky is blue
I’m all about looking at things from a different angle,
But you’re telling me things that I know just can’t be true
I can bend, bend, bend, bend some more
So tell me what you wanna break me for

As You Run
03:38
|
|||
You’ll grow up
And fly away
All my love
Can’t make you stay
I can’t hold back the river
I can’t stop the sun
Or keep the wind from blowin’
Against your back as you run
Why so scared
Of looking back
Following footsteps
And covering up your tracks
Won’t you stay one more night
Let me make it alright
You’ll grow up
And fly away

The World Is Black
03:01
|
|||
City lights bright as day
Even when the world is black
Shining from a mile away
I wish your love was like that
Waitin’ on a subway train
Doesn’t matter where it goes
Beats standing in the rain
And getting soaked right down to your toes
Eleven cars hauling strangers
Everybody on their phones
Staring down at their papers
Everybody all alone
Looking at an endless sidewalk
Like a river made of stone
You can go where you want
When nobody’s waiting at home
They got buildings that reach the sky
Men up on the moon
So there ain’t no reason why
Honey, I can’t have you

Waste Your Time
03:36
|
|||
Think I left my mind
With you in the dark
Your hand on mine
Did I waste your time
Did I waste your time
Did I waste your time
Like you wasted mine
Gem on my necklace hit me like a heartbeat
As we ran in the street
Gold chain wrapped around your fingers when you kissed me
The love that I wanted I knew I wouldn’t get
But I still tried
I still tried

Hush
02:35
|
|||
Her soul’s slippin’, her mind’s driftin’
Like a ship lettin’ go of her ropes
Sand’s shiftin’, her hand’s grippin’
She just can’t let go
Hush little darlin’ don’t you cry
Ain’t it time you learned to fly
Wind’s wild, sparrow beguiled
By a rose of fragrance so sweet
She swooped down low like wind to an arrow
And crashed in its soil and seed
Hush little darlin’ don’t you cry
Ain’t it time you said goodbye
Her wings thorned, her feathers torn
Unable to fly
So she stayed in the nest and watched all the rest
Pump their breasts up toward the sky
Hush little darlin’ don’t say a word
He’s the thorn and you’re the bird

Fair Weather
03:54
|
|||
The way you hold my hand
The way you keep me warm
I could almost pretend
You’re not afraid of a storm
But I know better
I know better
I know better than that
Fair weather, we’ll be together
Always, forever
You’ll never leave me alone
Long as the sun is shining
We don’t need a silver lining
But fast as a cold wind blows,
Fair weather comes and it goes
The touch of a breeze
As soft as your kiss
I could make myself believe
That it could always be like this
Long as the sun is shining
We don’t need a silver lining
But fast as the cold wind blows,
Fair weather comes and it goes
The touch of a breeze
As soft as your kiss
I could make myself believe
That it could always be like this

Wound Up
02:12
|
|||
My mind’s whispering
Wanna breathe you in
Wound up, wound up
Can you live up to
My mirage of you
Wound up, wound up
The day’s way too long
And the night’s not long enough
I’m weak-kneed, so kiss me
Come on and light me up
Wound up, wound up
Look me in the eye
Bring me back to life
Wound up, wound up
I can’t take it slow
Never let me go
Wound up, wound up

The Wild One
03:34
|
|||
I’m a red-hot fox, I can take the knocks
I’m a hammer from hell, honey, can’t you tell
I’m the wild one
Yes, I’m the wild one
I’m a touched-up freak on a winning streak
Gonna own this town, you can’t hold me down
I’m the wild one
Yes, I’m the wild one
Well it ain’t no use, turn me loose
More, more, I can’t keep score
I’ve got my head screwed on, and the days are gone
When you kept me down and you pushed me ‘round
I’m the wild one
Yes, I’m the wild one
I’m a green-eyed bitch and I wanna get rich
Get out of my way, ‘cause I’m here to stay
I’m the wild one
Yes, I’m the wild one
It ain’t no use, turn me loose
More, more, I can’t keep score

Has Been
04:36
|
|||
You ain’t nothin’ but a has been
So old news, so last year
You ain’t nothin’ but a has been
Go ask anyone
No, you ain’t nothin’ but a used to be
A memory that’s fadin’
You ain’t nothin’ but a used to be
Go ask anyone
And they’ll say, “has been,” past tense
They’ll run away from you
Oh, you ain’t nothin’ but an old hat
It’s so sad, it’s too bad
You ain’t nothin’ but an old hat
Go ask anyone
They’ll say, “passé, out of date”
They’ll run away from you
Oh, you ain’t nothin’ but a has been
So old news, so last year
You ain’t nothin’ but a has been
Go ask anyone
Yeah, you ain’t nothin’ but a has been
Go ask anyone
