You Are 02:39
Even though You're not a fan of your reflection Reminds you of every rejection I just want you to see How very lovely you are to me (Chorus) And you are Loved by me (oh-oh-oh-oh) (x2) And you feel Like it's you and you only Always so very lonely But I just want you to know I'll be with you wherever you go (Repeat chorus) And you think There's no real reason to live That you've got nothing good to give But this is so very far from true My heart sings and it sings for you (Repeat chorus) I will always love you...

In one life I was Daniel Another life I was John But this world's where I want to be Cuz it's the one you're on I wrote this song for your birthday I should've done it long ago Your smile makes me smile And I want the world to know (Chorus) About a D and an A with an O N N between Laughing together's the happiest I've been A D and an A with an O N N between I can't wait 'til we're doing it again Your tree is better than the White House You stole that lady's T's You have been to the beach before And recovered from butt disease You're generous and you're beautiful You have a quiet heart of gold You'd argue there's nothing quiet about you But I think it should be told (Repeat chorus)

I found myself walking down the sunny side of the street, yeah (Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah) I had a smile for everyone I’d meet, yeah (Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah) I was on my way to my girlfriend’s home I knew I’d be happy even if I was alone, yeah (Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah) She greeted me with a smile And I knew all the while That I was happy; I was happy, oh yeah I got together with the guys in the band, yeah (Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah) I had a smile when got my bass in hand, yeah (Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah) We played real long and we played real hard All the neighborhood kids were dancing in the yard, yeah (Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah) We were drinking all damn day Pretty drunk, but we were playing OK And I was happy; I was happy, oh yeah Got to the club later that night, yeah (Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah) Still pretty buzzed and feeling all right, yeah (Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah) All my friends were waiting inside Didn’t want to run and I didn’t want to hide, yeah (Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah) The beer was all for free It was lined up, just for me And I was happy; I was happy, oh yeah

I know I’m not your ideal And I know you know exactly how I feel And we know this probably will not last Cuz you know all about my past And maybe we don’t love each other But sometimes we kind of like each other Maybe we don’t love each other But sometimes I kind of like you (Chorus) Sheltered, sheltered, sheltered, sheltered Sheltered, sheltered with you Sheltered, sheltered, sheltered, sheltered Sheltered, sheltered with you I know sometimes you’ll be there for me And I know sometimes I’ll be there for you And we know that’s all you can ask for Cuz you know I can’t give you anymore And when we drink together We keep this shitty life at bay When we drink together Everything is okay And I appreciate the love you gave to me And I appreciate the time you saved me And someday I want to leave this life behind But right now it’s the furthest thing from my mind (Repeat chorus)

Mercy Fuck 02:10
Is it because in daylight I’m as ugly as sin? Or is it because my head’s the size of a pin? She thinks I’m nice but I just cannot win I want her to love me but she’ll just say it again (Chorus) A mercy fuck is all I can give to you We’ve been through this before – it’s nothing new I pity you so we can screw But a mercy fuck is all I can give to you A mercy fuck is all I can give to you I got drunk and I called her late one night I told her that I loved her, that she was my Miss Right She suppressed a laugh and told me not to be blue She said she’d fuck me once but it was all she could do (Repeat chorus) Rejection makes me feel so mean It’s a side of myself I’ve never seen I’m coming up to a babe from behind But when I see her face I change my mind So why don’t I take her up on her generous offer? At least I’d have that one great memory I’ll tell you the truth and the truth is I am scared I’d come too fast and she’d think even less of me (Repeat chorus)
6.
Billy Milligan Billy Milligan is my name Billy Milligan That’s not my only name Ah ah Ah ah Why oh why Ah ah I can fight like a son of a bitch And my paintings will make me rich I can fix any engine And no straitjacket can hold me in My crime I raped someone It was when I was a lesbian Ah ah Ah ah Why oh why Ah ah Multiple personality So many people make up me Can I win in the end? Or will they drive me around the bend?

I want to get hooked on something that’s clean With vitamins, nutrients and caffeine 5-hour Energy fits the bill Oh my glorious liquid pill (Chorus) 5-hour Energy (Energy!) 5-hour Energy (Energy!) 5-hour Energy (Energy!) 5-hour Energy (Energy!) Uh-uh-oh-uh-uh-oh-uh-uh-uh-ow Uh-uh-oh-uh-uh-oh-uh-uh-uh-ow Maximum strength is the way to go The regular kind is just so-so One per day is what your dose should be Any more than that will make you jittery (Repeat chorus)

In Pieces 01:51
You can leave in peace Or you can leave in pieces You can leave in peace Or you can leave in pieces You can leave in peace Or you can leave in pieces The choice is yours (2, 3, 4)… You’re a gluttonous, prideful, greedy sloth You’re a wrathful, envious, dirty cloth You can leave in peace Or you can leave in pieces You can leave in peace Or you can leave in pieces The choice is yours (2, 3, 4)… Go away Go awayyyyyyyy You can leave in peace Or you can leave in pieces You can leave in peace Or you can leave in pieces And it looks it’s gonna be… in pieces!
9.
Nothing will ever be the same after today And I know that’s a histrionic thing for me to say But the way you just dropped me cold is messing with my head And all I can do to forget is to pretend that you are dead (Chorus) (So this is) My requiem for you Ooo-ooo Ooo-ooo-ooo My requiem for you Ooo-ooo Ooo-ooo-ooo Now it’s been a month or two -- I don’t know which But it might surprise you to know I don’t think you’re a bitch I still don’t understand what I did wrong The only thing left for me to do is say goodbye with this song (Repeat chorus)
