Girls at the Mall

She learned about love from girls at the mall,
Old scraps of magazine and top ten pop songs
Back in her bedroom watching kids in the hall
Cause reruns at midnight are better than being alone
The television rings in your ears
Play with the stitches on your new dress
Your eyes are throwing wishes at the window
But instead of going out you stay home
What’s wrong with the company she keeps?
Loneliness was never mean to me
He always shows up on time
He always treats her just right
So much better than the boys from magazines
The television rings in your ears
Play with the stitches on your new dress
Your eyes are throwing wishes at the window
But instead of going out you stay home

Alone Again

Meet me at the park
Greet me as a friend
Please me after dark
Need me more than him
Leave me alone again

Orpheus and Lot

Eyes glued on the T.V. screen
But I knew that you were looking at me
There’s nothing left to talk about
The night I left the sun still came up
There’s nothing left to talk about
Turn your head and I’ll be gone
Don’t look back at me
There’s nothing left to see
Don’t look back at me
There’s nothing left
Orpheus and Lot
Both their women lost
Turn the T.V. off
But don’t look away from me

I don’t know if this will work itself out?
I left a message but will she get it?
Oh what if she doesn’t want me around?
Is it pathetic I feel neglected
Before she even opens her mouth?
The temperature is rising in the room
Your heart beats fast but you cant move
Is it a trick of the eye? I need some proof
Why don’t you call me over?
Why don’t you call me over to you?
She says I want to but I just don’t know how
When I’m with you I feel like a child
And you should know this question is open ended
But when was the last time you saw me smile?
The temperature is rising in the room
Your heart beats fast but you cant move
Is it a trick of the eye? I need some proof
Why don’t you call me over?
Why don’t you call me over to you?

Answering Machine

Drove to Alaska in a Chevrolet
Jesus on the dashboard and Mary on the ashtray
You know I’m not alone when I say
It’s odd you swear to God but don’t pray
The sacred and profane are all mixed up
You want her but you can’t bear the love
Call her on the telephone
And pray to God that she’s not home
How do I say I love you to an answering machine?
Spent all night in the basement
Ripping off the Replacements
I know you love their basics
Even more than the punk kids
So lets leave the record on
Till all our friends have come and gone
Lets leave the dial tone
For all the boys that you don’t want
For better or worse it’s all mixed up
You want her but you can’t bear the love
Call her on the telephone
And pray to God that she’s not home
How do I say I love you to an answering machine?

Fire Around Your Heart

She says he’s the Devil
Running fire around her heart
She’s got his picture on her altar
On the dashboard of her car
She’s been driving
Up and down the coast
But there’s no arriving
When you’re searching for a ghost
She writes his name under the hem
Of her dress in blue pen
And she says to her friends
I’m the only one who knows him
I don’t want to be the Devil
Running fire around your heart
She’s got my picture on her altar
On the dashboard of her car
