THANKS 03:45
people ask me "is there some body watching over us? do we all go home when we die and is there love?" well there are many theories out there, believe one of them if you must i don't know for sure but i am not scared to cause a fuss so i tell em i thank god i tell em i thank god you know that i thank god for my reason you know that i thank god and when i thank god well i thank god for The Beatles. now everyone who's born will die who is excluded? surely not i! so i cannot tell you who is right, buddha or jesus, but they both seem like real cool guys and i'll bet they would not think twice if i chose to make up my own mind and use my freedom so i'm free to thank god i'm free to thank god you know that i thank god for my reason and you know that i thank god cause when i thank god you know that i thank god for The Beatles. well i thank god for The Beatles well i thank god for The thank god for The i thank god for The Beatles.

one night i found god in my room all alone. i said "oh my god!" and i shook in my bones. since then i've been calm, waiting for to go home to my "oh my god" when this life it is done. i've been in love two of three times at the most. suspicious of love, could it all be a hoax? am i a dumb girl in my room in the light concocting a love so i can't feel the night? i like to crack smiles and i like to have fun, but two of my friends died at the edge of a gun. have i forgotten how it felt to be stunned? may it remain in my heart at the bottom. i've wanted to die as long as i can recall. good thing that i never let the knife fall. i wouldn't have known all the joy i do now, joy to be alive, joy that cannot be bound. i want to sing out to the sky, to the clouds. i want to sing loud, make a thundering sound. but one day my sweet voice will be deep underground. no one of god's gifts may we keep once we've found. if i could give advice so that people could hear, i would say "think twice before allowing fear to creep into your mind and to color your life. an action done in fear, it can never be right." one night i found god in my room all alone. i said "oh my god!" and i shook in my bones. since then i've been calm, waiting for to go home to my "oh my god" when this life it is done.

Dead Girl 04:48
what can i say when i'm rotting? got no face, aint got no body. i'm the dead girl at the party saying "hey". may my voice live longer than me, may my songs reach people plenty. now i'm only three and twenty years of age. may this find you in the ocean of your dreams where you are floatin. when the tide comes, row your boat in, watch the waves don't be sad that i've gone missing, me and jesus are french kissing! life is blessing, death is blissing, it's okay it's okay it's okay it's okay: it's always been this way. think not of the end of days, remember the beginning, hey, we made it here as small bebes, now aint that strange? you've lived more than once or twice, it's been forever, it's been nice. you try to tell yourself through christ and burning sage. you're in prison, here's the secret: there's a key and guess who keeps it, there's a wall and you can leap out of the cage. there's no time, it's all one moment. go outside and ask the stone and ask the air to ask the water in the lake. she will say she will say she will say "it's always been this way" it's always been this way. what can i say when i'm rotting? got no face, ain't got no body, i'm the dead girl at the party saying "hey"

as i roved out on a bright may morning to view the meadows and flowers gay whom should i spy but my own true lover as she sat under yon willow tree i took off my hat and i did salute her i did salute her most courageously when she turned around well the tears fell from her saying "false young man you have deluded me" a diamond ring i owned i gave you a diamond ring to wear on your right hand but the vows you made love, you went and broke them and married the lassie that had the land if i married the lassie that had the land, my love it's that i'll rue till the day i die when misfortune falls sure no man can shun it i was blindfolded i'll ne'er deny now at nights when i go to my bed of slumber the thoughts of my true love run in my mind when i turn around to embrace my darling instead of gold sure tis brass i find and i wish the queen would call home her army from the west indies, amerikay, and spain and every man to his wedded woman in hopes that you and i will meet again
