a flower blooming in the desert sunshine

Just love this entire album....


Trying hard to swallow this pill
Maybe then I'll be able to feel
I can do it, I know I will
Trying hard to make it go down
Always manage to slip and slide
Always taking a carpet ride
Always wanted to look not hide
Cause I never want to be found
until I take a look around

Cause They think I'm a waste of time

They think I'm lost and that's fine
They call me crazy while they're holding me down
But I'm overflowing and I'm gonna get it out

Maybe I can walk on the sun

Maybe I'll be the only one
Man I just want to have some fun
Cause baby I'm born to roam

They can try to turn off the light

But they better expect a fight
They can try with all their might
But I'm never gonna go home,
So please leave me alone

They think I'm a waste of time
They think I'm lost and that's fine
They call me crazy while they're holding me down
But I'm overflowing and I'm gonna get it out


It's taken all my life, it's taken all this time

And only I know why
Gotta make a plan gotta take a stand,
tell them who I am
So I can breathe this morning

Cause They think I'm a waste of time
They think I'm lost and that's fine
They call me crazy while they're holding me down
But I'm overflowing and I'm gonna get it out
 
Cause They think I'm a waste of time
They think I'm lost and that's fine
They call me crazy while they're holding me down
But I'm overflowing and I'm gonna get it out

  1. She's one of my favorite artists. She has a great way of expressing my own idealistic romantic tendencies and my feelings of being an outsider in a world of people who can't keep up. That, and she's gorgeous, too.

    My favorites of her songs would have to be "Everyday" and "Good Find."
