Nietzsche's Eyes lyrics - Paula Cole

How many times did I have to hear you say to me
Self obsessed artist,
Center of your universe?
Well, I believed your every word
And I believed you were my God

Nietzsche's eyes, Nietzsche's kite
Failed in flight to us, and oh my love...

Grandmother, mother, and now I see it in myself
I take on the water
until the dam threatens to break
I became a little doll
My voice became too small

Nietzsche's eyes, Nietzsche's kite
failed in flight to us, and oh my love...

I'm shakin', I'm shakin', I'm gettin' down this fantasy
And I'm shakin', I'm shakin', I'm gettin' down this, gettin' down this
You were not my Superman

I didn't know, just how I fell
Oh my love...

I'm shakin', I.... oh, I'm gettin' down this,
You were not my Superman...

I wasn't honest, I tried to philosophize
Only too late did I see that I wore Nietzsche's eyes
Now that I step back to see, I haven't been me...

And oh my love...
Nietzsche's eyes (oh my love), Nietzsche's kite (oh my love)
failed in flight to us (oh my love), and oh my love

I'm shakin', I'm shakin', I'm gettin' down this fantasy
And I'm shakin', I'm shakin',
I'm gettin' down this, gettin' down this
gettin' down this, gettin' down this, gettin' down this
gettin' down this, gettin' down this, gettin' down this
gettin' down this, gettin' down this, gettin' down this...

Road To Dead lyrics - Paula Cole

Dead dead dead dead walking down to the road to dead

Welcome to the church of me
Where they stand in a line in need
Of water from my eyes
And a song for comfort
You say Jesus Christ
Well, I feel like him
I feel one, two, three
Nails through me and
Four through the heart

[CHORUS:]
You walk the road to resurrection
And I walk the road to dead
And I never knew my devotion
But I walk the road to dead

I held you
And wrapped you in the heat of my hand
And prayed for my soul
Now I want you back
As you walk away from my love
You need to need
Strength is threatenous
I filled you will faith
And that filled me with pain
What the hell am I doing
Falling in love with pain again and again and again and again

[CHORUS:]

Dead dead dead dead walking on to the road to dead

Me lyrics - Paula Cole

I am not the person who is singing,
I am the silent one inside.
I am not the one who laughs at people's jokes,
I just pacify their egos.
I am not my house, my car or my songs,
They are only stops along my way.
I am like the winter, I'm a dark cold female,
With a golden ring of wisdom in my cave.

[CHORUS:]
And it's me who is my enemy
Me who beats me up
Me who makes the monsters
Me who strips my confidence

I am carrying my voice
I am carrying a heart.
I am carrying the rhythm
I am carrying my prayers,
but you can kill my spirit, it's old and it is strong,
And like a mountain I'll go on and on.
But when my wings are folded,
The brightly colored moth blends into the dirt into the ground

And it's me who is my enemy.
Me who beats me up.
Me who makes the monsters.
Me who strips my confidence.
And it's me who's too weak,
And it's me who's too shy to ask for the thing I love.
And it's me who's too weak,
And it's me who's too shy to ask for the thing I love.
But I love

I am walking on the bridge,
I am over the water,
And I'm scared as hell
But I know there's something better.
(Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know, yes I know)

[CHORUS x2]

Feelin' Love lyrics - Paula Cole

You make me feel like a sticky pistil
Leaning into her stamen.
You make me feel like Mr. Sunshine himself.
You make me feel like splendor in the grass where we're rolling
Damn skippy babe
You make me feel like the Amazon's running between my thighs.

You make me feel love. . .

You make me feel like a candy apple red and horny
You make me feel like I want to be a dumb blonde
In a centerfold, the girl next door.
And I would open the door and I'd be all wet
With my tits soaking through this tiny little t-shirt that I'd be wearing
And you would open the door and tie me up to the bed.

You make me feel love. . .

Lover, I don't know who I am.
Am I Barry White - am I Isis?
Lover I'm laced with your unconscious,
I will be your Desdemona
(take your time)

You make me feel, ohhh
You make me feel, ahhh
You make me feel, oh, oh, ah, ah, oh, oh...

Hush, Hush, Hush lyrics - Paula Cole

Long white arms
losing their strength and form
sixty-year man on twenty year old skin

skeleton, your eyes have lost their warmth
look to your father for some support

hush, hush, hush
says your daddy's touch
sleep sleep sleep
says the hundredth sheep
peace peace peace
may you go in peace

cruel old joke
waited so long to show
the one that you wanted wasn't a girl

all your life
you kept it hidden inside
now when you step you stumble, you die

[Refrain]

oh maye next time
you'll be Henry VIII
wake up tomorrow
and dawn to the great

open your eyes
and a new life will begin
oh maybe next you'll begin with a chance

hush hush hush

hush hush hush

hush hush hush
oh hush hush hush
oh hush

I Don't Want To Wait lyrics - Paula Cole

So open up your morning light,
And say a little prayer for right
You know that if we are to stay alive
Then see the peace in every eye...

doo doo doo doo do doo do
do do doo doo doo doo dooo doo ooh

She had two babies, one was six months, one was three
In the war of '44...
Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging
When she thought it was God calling her
Oh, would her son grow to know his father?

[CHORUS:]
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over,
I want to know right now, what will it be?
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over,
Will it be yes or will it be...sorry?

doo doo oooh doo ooh do do ooh

He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
Wearing shrapnel in his skin
And the war he saw lives inside him still,
It's so hard to be gentle and warm
The years pass by and now he has granddaughters

[CHORUS]

You look at me from across the room
You're wearing your anguish again
Believe me I know the feeling
It sucks you into the jaws of anger(oooooooh)
So breathe a little more deeply my love
All we have is this very moment
And I don't want to do what his father,
And his father, and his father did,
I want to be here now
So open up your morning light,
And say a little prayer for right
You know that if we are to stay alive,
And see the peace in every eye...

[CHORUS x2]

doo doo doo dooo oooh do dooo doo
doo doo doo dooo do doooo oooh
doo doo doo do dooo do do

So open up your morning light,
And say a little prayer for right
You know that if we are to stay alive
Then see the love in every eye...

"Harbinger" (1994)

Happy Home lyrics - Paula Cole

I remember the pain in my mother's eyes,
I remember the pain of her compromise years ago.
I always wanted to help to make it go away,
I didn't know it was her freedom that she needed so.

And she said to me, she said to me:

He hitch-hiked to Maine,
We went cross-country.
I had to leave my home,
I had to raise a family
We did the best we could being so young,
We tried to hard to build a happy home.

I never knew what to say to anybody,
I didn't know what to do, I was far too young.
But everybody could feel the suffocation,
Underneath for facade of a happy home.

And she said to me, she said to me:

[Chorus]

Home sweet freedom, flowing in my eyes, Home sweet freedom,
flowing in my mind.

Sacrificed her dreams to motherhood,
Waiting and waiting to be understood fully.
Sacrificed her years to the family,
Waiting and waiting to be heard finally.

And she said to me, she said to me...

I Am So Ordinary lyrics - Paula Cole

I nearly died I suicided softly
I saw her shadow through the cafe window
I watched you lean across the table
I watched you whisper in her ear

And she is your holy Mary
And I am so ordinary
And you can use me if you want to
I know you need me just like an old soft shoe

She looks like me but a bit prettier
She's a skater and a ballet dancer
I saw her on your motorcycle
In the seat I thought was meant for me

[Chorus]

And when your mother came to Boston you disappeared
And then I saw you three together
I guess she makes the best impression
With her charming femininity...

[Chorus]

Oh but I am the one you will call when alone
And I am the one who will give when she's gone
And so I give
So I give

I tell myself that love is truly giving
Somehow I justify this
Hoping you will understand me
Hoping you will love me back

And she is your holy Mary
And I am so ordinary
And she is your Queen Cleopatra
And I'm just your morning after
And she is your Star Spangled Banner
And I am just Frere Jaque
And you can lose me if you want to

And I am so ordinary

Saturn Girl lyrics - Paula Cole

Lost in another world, oh Saturn, Saturn Girl.

Far away, ot an infinite world I escape
I'm clear and calm, I'm unafraid.
Sunless days, in my sheltered Milky Way
In Saturn's rings I feel no pain.

In my heart, in my head
Oh, Saturn Girl has always bled
No you're not, from this world
Saturn Girl.

I can't explain, why I don't belong to the same world
I don't fit in, and I will not stay.
I want to fly, oh I long for my violet skies
My astral nights, my peace of mind.

[Chorus]

Lost in another world, oh Saturn, Saturn Girl.
Saturn Girl, I'd rather be lost in my empyrean world
Than be down on earth.

[Chorus]

Everybody tries to break my dreams to break through,
They don't believe in my words, they don't believe in my world.
"Oh you're lost in another world,
Oh you're lost you Saturn Girl, oh you crazy girl,
Oh you Saturn Girl..."

[Chorus]

Watch The Woman's Hands lyrics - Paula Cole

Watch the woman's hands as she cultivates the land
as she plants the seed
as she's on her knees
Watch her fingers smile as she holds the little child
as she holds him
as she hold him
Whoah, Whoah
Watch the woman's hands as she holds the children back
from the danger, from the danger
Watch how they fight to keep the family tight
together, together

[Chorus:]
Whoah, Whoah,
Oh we need her, oh we need her, oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her, oh we need her, oh oh we need her
Whoah

Watch the woman's hand as she talks to the man
as he talks down to her
as he tells her
he doesn't understand he doesn't the fisted hands
clenching tightly, angrily

[Chorus:]
Whoah, Whoah
Oh we need her, oh we need her, oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her, oh we need her, oh we need,
oh oh we need her
Whoah Whoah

Bethlehem lyrics - Paula Cole

Pulling on the apron strings looking up
Standing on the chair to be grown up
I feel so little, I need my pillow
I hate time I hate the clock
I wanna be a dog or I wanna be a rock

Sunday's pancakes, Miss mary mack
Color polaroids show my heart attack
In my second hand pants and dusty shoes
The day that the playground laughed at my shoes

Its my birthday next week and what I want please
Is to turn on the heat so the fish wont freeze
The fish in the tank froze and died last week
Oh I wanna be a dog or I wanna be a leaf

[Chorus:]
Quarry miners fisherman in my town of bethlehem
picket fences church at ten no star above my bethlehem

Now I'm only 16 and I think I have an ulcer
I'm hiding my sex behind a dirty sweatshirt
I've lost 5 pounds these past few days
Trying to be class president and get straight a's
Well who gives a shit about that anyway
I just wanna be a dog or a lump of clay

[Chorus:]
Quarry miners fisherman in my town of bethlehem
picket fences church at ten no star above my bethlehem

Still, I'm tired of standing still
I'm tired of living still
Everyday I dream of leaving

Everyone's talking about Becky's bust
The boys on the basketball just fuck
The same ten girls who don't know who they are
They're looking for some comfort in the back of a car
The six pack of beer, the locker room jeers
I don't wanna be me I don't wanna be here

[Chorus:]
Quarry miners fisherman in my town of bethlehem
picket fences church at ten no star above my bethlehem

Red brick school house
Dead end dirt road, daffodils
No star above my bethlehem
I wanna be a dog or I wanna be a rock
I don't wanna be me, I don't wanna here in bethlehem

Chiaroscuro lyrics - Paula Cole

Goya and El Greco
Gogan and Vango
Painted light and darkness
Chiaroscuro

Imagine we were a painting
A woman and a man
Two lovers on the canvas
One is white and one is black

[Chorus:]
Oh darkness and light will be married tonight in Chiaroscuro
Your body on mine two colors combine in Chiaroscuro

Velmir and Valasqez
Rembrant and Ruso
Painted perfect union
Chiaroscuro
The man and the woman
The knife and the spoon
The zylem and the phloum
The sun and the moon

[Chorus:]
Oh darkness and light will be married tonight in Chiaroscuro
Your body on mine two colors combine in Chiaroscuro

How we lived a secret life from racist eyes
You said I wouldn't understand you any way i tried

In this moment together
In our secret unity
Our skins become a still life
Our souls epiphany

[Chorus (2x):]

Black Boots lyrics - Paula Cole

Why do you think she wears those black boots?
Why do you think she dyes her hair black?
She's awfully insecure
She's trying to be cool
She's hoping to be more in those black boots

Why do I think I wear these black boots?
Why do I wear three pairs of black boots?
I feel a little stronger
I feel a little taller
I identify with the color
I like myself in these black boots

Oh John lyrics - Paula Cole

Oh John, oh John, oh John

Never lose the memory of April twenty-six
Your hands designed my body
You autographed my hip
I lost all my worry
I lost all sense of time
My fears evaporated
When you held me in your oh my god and

Oh John, in a New York hotel room
In a truck off the back road
Southwest of Chicago
Oh John, in a New England fairground
on a lawn in the backyard
in a town in Colorado, oh
Oh John, oh John, oh John

Saturate my consciousness with sweet elixir wine
Your body is the chalice your spirit is the vine
I lose all my worry
I lose all sense of time
My fears evaporate
When you hold me in your oh my god and

[Chorus]

And everytime I see the ocean you're there
And everytime I see the forest you're on my mind
In my life, flooding me with memories like

[Chorus]

Our Revenge lyrics - Paula Cole

Walking the mountain is easy for the medicine
Man who follows make sure the indian never returns

His revenge
His revenge
Rising
His revenge
His revenge
Rising

Fighting the front line is honor for the pharaoh
In egypt erases the queen the truth the history of her

Her revenge
Her revenge
Rising
Her revenge
Her revenge
Rising

Reading the pages of history its not black and
White is the man with the pen who's writing the story of life

Our revenge
Our revenge
Rising
Our revenge
Our revenge
Rising
Rising
Rising

Hitler's Brothers lyrics - Paula Cole

Little boy, tries to hide,
From the fire in his backyard.
Burning cross, white cloth,
It's the second time this year.

Hitler's brothers are still alive,
They're wearing everyday disguises.

A woman runs, for asylum,
She's the only one of her kind in this neighborhood.
She knows who they were,
They don't believe a word,
The cops just turn their heads to protect their friends.

Hitler's brothers are still alive,
Their army seems to grow in size,
Hitler's brothers are on the rise,
They're wearing everyday disguises.
...In camouflage or business suits.

Another man, bound and gagged,
Tied upon the railroad tracks.
At nine p.m. the B&M (Boston & Maine)
Rolled across his yellow skin

Hitler's brothers are still alive,
Their army seems to grow in size,
Hitler's brothers are on the rise,
They're wearing everyday disguises.
In camouflage or business suits,
Checkered aprons, combat boots,
Time to let those feelings go,
Hatred only kills your souls.

She Can't Feel Anything Anymore lyrics - Paula Cole

She was on the floor, her face was in her mother's arms.
She had said that she'd been out late with the boys.
Just another evening, like every other evening
Everything is all the same it seems.

Danny always called her on the phone for no special reason,
apparently,
He could never tell her what it was, he suffered silently,
quitely.

Just another evening, but his hands just couldn't be still,
He can't control it and he cannot tell her why,
Feel the beaded knuckles, feel the snap inside,
See the rush of terror in her eye,
She can't feel it
She can't feel it
She can't feel anything anymore

He tried painfully, he begged for her forgiveness on his knees,
She gave gracefully, but inside,
but inside,
She still bleeds.

Garden Of Eden lyrics - Paula Cole

Here I am, a black-eyed bird, remaining silent.
I simply watch, your little life from high above.
Wanting to call you, wanting to sing,
Inside your ears and lips and eyes and soul,
I dig my grave, behind the gates of Babylon.

There's a Garden of Eden
In your distant heart,
Garden of Eden
In your earthly arms.

Here I stand, a serpent queen of the garden.
I'm beckoning, but you ignore my siren song.
Oh I long, to touch you, to step inside your sacred gate.
I'll dig my grave in the middle of golden bible snake.

There's a Garden of Eden
In your distant heart,
Garden of Eden
In your earthly arms.

The black-eyed bird is dying,
The queen is dead,
She'll never step foot in Eden.

There's a Garden of Eden
In your distant heart,
Garden of Eden
In your earthly arms.

The Ladder lyrics - Paula Cole

Climbing
Climbing
Climbing
Climbing

Look at how futile this is
I'm so weak
So fragile
So torn
Going around and around
Going inside
To the circle
To the ladder
To the sky

I am climbing the ladder of urgency
Climbing a ladder of hope
Climbing a ladder of my emotions
Climbing a ladder of unraveling hope

You see what you want to see
But i'm not
What you wanted
No I'm not
I am only one thing
One thing I see
One thing I feel

I am climbing the ladder of urgency
Climbing a ladder of hope
Climbing a ladder of my emotions
Climbing a ladder of unraveling hope

Climbing
Climbing
Climbing
Climb

Climbing
Climbing
Climbing
Climb

Climbing

I'm only one thing
One thing I feel
I am the ladder
