I proposed to my best friend But she lied when she said no. I loved my best friend, but she died So I got married to her ghost. Are you up? Are you up? I am saying this to you. It's you I'm dying to see. We have the same hands! Now clap them! We have the same heart! It's started pounding! Drums and fire all night. Nothing but drums and fire all night. This is a new beginning. I slept through my whole life. Tonight it will be different. Are you up? Let's build a house inside a star. Are you up? Are you up? Tonight I'll let the trees climb me. Are you up? It's you I'm dying to see. Are you up? Are you?

Sunflowers 04:13
We are dried up sunflowers sitting on the porch I'll have one more smoke She's doing laundry, having one more martini And the air conditioner's broken. I am being watched By the deer across the parking lot They know I am pretending to be Something I am not. They own my soul, they own it all! They own my soul. They are angels getting plowed by our cars Because we don't pay attention. She doesn't know me, how I fall in love too easy. How I fall before I have spoken. Cat's watching the dogs. Playing with my ex-girlfriend's clogs. Everyone wants to be Bob Dylan But everyone's too busy playing God While He's sending soldiers into her yard They're watching me, they're standing guard. They say, "You fall in love too easy." But there are sunflowers in her eyes! "You fall in love too easy." She told me to write a song about it! "You fall in love too easy." But the song was already half done! "You fall in love too easy." Don't worry, baby, I'm only having fun... "You fall in love too easy."

Loudmouth 03:24
Sitting all alone at my girlfriend's house Then again, are you even my girlfriend? I really don't know and I mostly don't think so. It was only a matter of time Until I sat at your piano. It was only a matter of time Before these things would find their way out Of my big, loud mouth. She suggests that I must be bisexual Because all her other boyfriends are. But all I get off on is stealing my girlfriends' Other boyfriends' cars. Oh, yeah! I drive real fast and I never use the brakes. I'm wanted in 48 states from here to Californ-i-a. I'd make it 50 but I hate the cold And I don't play the ukulele. Not to say that I won't someday. I'm ambitious, and you know it, baby. I've got a big, loud mouth. I always know what to say when to say where to say What I may It's kind of a curse so I rarely say it It's kind of a shame that 'I love you' is the three dirtiest words in our language today. Oops! I said it! Yet you always complain that I don't curse. I'd better shut up before I say something even worse Like: "You are my only one. You make me feel naked out of context. But you will never break my heart Because it's already been done! So utterly, thoroughly totally done, done, done! I've got a big loud mouth! To shout across the country to you! I'm waiting for you! Stealing all your boyfriends' cars and waiting for you! I'm waiting for you!"

Blue Dog 00:54
Some people say you look like Annabelle Lee. Some people say you look like Dora the Explorer But I would know, you really look like Tiger Lily. I seen her when I was off hunting buffalo. She told me, "Blue Dog, it's a full moon And in your eyes, I'm only seeing shadows."

My deepest, darkest secret: No, I am not a werewolf. But I have been known to meet amongst the trees To hear the thunder of the streams And the queens of the bees. Do you know what they do at night? Do you know the things they do? There's a thunder underneath my knees. Close your eyes and I will tell you. There is a scent of sunflower in the breeze. Close your eyes and I will tell you. Do you know what things they do? Close your eyes and I will tell you. Do you know the things they do? Close your eyes and I will tell you... They rock out all night. Drums and fire all night.

California 01:30
California's on fire! California's on fire! Didn't you know? ...My God! Didn't you know?!? It's horrible! My God! I will come and rescue you! But only if you want me to.

The Gardener 02:12
Watering the flowers Counting the hours 'til you get home I have decided I am your gardener. I was the keeper of the keys at the library. I couldn't take my eyes from off the books And all the flowers died. I will do better this time! I will not go hunting until I know what to find. Now they are the deer and I'm the dog Singing you the same stupid song On your balcony where I apparently belong Saint Anthony, we've done nothing wrong! I'm just her gardener. Just me and the sun and a pitcher of water! The deer and I, we are guarding her. I'm just her gardener, that's all! I'm just her gardener.
