LYRICS
1. ADAPTER
Every time I sit down to do this I feel a little like I’m operating
Put the plug into the adapter, adapting my world with a little sound
And I finally found your voice
It don’t mean a thing without an attitude
Dare me to get up and over, tie your shoes
Every time I sit down to do this I feel a little like I’m lying again
Stick my head into somebody else’s, adapting my world with a little smile
And I finally found a voice
It don’t mean a thing, no it don’t mean a thing without an attitude
Dare me to roll over, tell you why I’m blue
See I’ve got this, I know it (know it)
I should be obliged to grow it (grow it)
Walk it around, see how it feels
Make it my own, doo doo doo doo
No, no attitude
It don’t mean a thing without an attitude
No, no attitude
Dare me to come over there and try your shoes
2. BETTER THAN BEING
I was finally alone out on my own
You came in between to make me a queen
You broke down a shelf to build me a self
I measured the part in time to blow it apart
I was finally at home out on my own
But you bled me dry, now why would I lie?
Sometimes the things I think I need aren’t all they’re cracked up to be
Sometimes the things I find my mind adores just make me blind
I was finally at home out on my own
You came in between to make a queen
You bled me dry, now why would I lie
Sometimes the things I think I need aren’t all they’re cracked up to be
Sometimes the things I find my mind adores just make me blind
It’s better than being in love with truth
Better than being in love (better, better)
Better than being in love (better, better)
Better than being in love (better, better) with truth
3. PICKIN UP
I’m pickin up again, like a brutal friend, I act like this
I see the feeling’s bled right into plans
The fatalist (fatal list)
Cause I know how to peel it, know what to conceal
When I look up again
Mountain or girl?
You were right again, the way you held the pan and let it fry
But I could only spit like a little shit, I could only cry
Because momma never had hers, cursed by heaven’s thunder
Daddy held his silence, let go in his science
And I cannot reclaim it, but only try to say can we make up again
Check out the meaning of the word
Be it a mountain, girl
4. TAILPIPE
Don’t fix the tailpipe on the car, my love
It won’t get us very far
We’ll need more gas
And brand new brakes, my love
And we will still get where we want
So don’t fix the tailpipe on the car
It’s not about all this perfection (all this perfection)
It’s not about all that I want (although I want a lot)
You still can’t see
You rip apart all that I dream and still I fly
Don’t do the dishes in the sink, my love
Just let them pile up to the sky
We’ll dance around them
And let them fall and then we’ll eat our food off of the floor
Don’t really matter anymore
Sometimes I think you just can’t tell (you just can’t tell)
Probably because I put you through (enormous hell)
Can only say, I love you, hope you love me anyhow and way
Don’t fix that damn tailpipe, my love
Can only say so many times
It’s just a fake
We’ll new brakes, my love
And still the same, get where we want
So don’t fix the tailpipe on the car
5. WONDER WOMAN
You might think I'm game staring the way I do at your goods
I just can’t get over, perfection’s got you covered from your head to your hooves
I lean on charm and hope the ride will take me to such truth
Then I wake to scars and all the things that keep me writing my book
Still I want...
I, I want wonder woman each and every working day
I forget wonder woman is hiding in the quietest place
My mother’s a horse girl farming her days with the strength of the past
She eases my load whenever I need and never keeps track
She could be...
She could be wonder woman if she chose to feel that way
I wonder how wonder woman gets the nerve to dress every day
She could be, I could be a lovely wonder woman
Each and every working day
I forget wonder woman is hiding in the quietest place
