Smiling lyrics - Alanis Morissette
This is a life of extremes
Both sides are slippery and enticing
These are my places off the rails
And this, my loose recollection of a falling
I barely remember who I failed
I was just trying to keep it together
This is my first wave of my white flag
This is the sound of me hitting bottom
This, my surrender, if that's what you call it
In the anatomy of my crash
And I keep on smiling
Keep on moving
Can't stand still
Me, the notorious bottom dweller
Me, the ceiling-less brave explorer
Lured to the ends of overwhelm
This is my first wave of the white flag
This is the sound of me hitting bottom
This, my surrender, if that's what I call it
In the anatomy of my crash
And I keep on smiling
Keep on moving
Can't stand still
Such pretty forks in the road
On this continuum I've been bouncing
Life flashing promise before my eyes
This is my first wave of my white flag
This is the sound of me hitting bottom
This, my surrender, if I can bare it
In the anatomy of my crash
And I keep on smiling
Keep on moving
Can't stand still
Ablaze lyrics - Alanis Morissette
First thing that you'll notice is some separation from each other
Yes, it's a lie, we've been believing since time immemorial
There was an apple, there was a snake, there was division
There was a split, there was a conflict in the fabric of life
One became two, and then everyone was out for themselves
Everyone was pitted against each other, conflict ruled the realm
All our devotions and temperaments are pulled from different wells
We seem to easily forget we are made of the same cells
To my boy, all that energy, so vital
Love your hues and your blues in equal measure
Your comings and your goings-away
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
Second thing you'll notice is that often we think that there's not enough
It might feel dark, it might feel lonely and you'll wonder why you're here
You'll be overcome with darkness and a sense of hopelessness
But it won't matter if you keep the core connected to the oneness
To my girl, all your innocence and fire
When you reach out, I am here hell or high water
This nest is never going away
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
And this cord is unbreakable
This pilot light is there in your pocket
And this bond, beyond unshakable
Even if we all forgot, all at the same time
If we forget at the same time
To my boy, my precious, gentle warrior
To your sweetness and your strength in exploring
May this bond stay with you through all your days
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
To my girl, all your innocence and fire
When you reach out, I am here hell or high water
This nest is never going away
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
To my boy
(First thing that you'll notice is that everything is temporary)
To my girl
(Next that you might know is that we will always be a family)
To my boy
(My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze)
Reasons I Drink lyrics - Alanis Morissette
These are the reasons I drink
The reasons I tell everybody I'm fine even though I am not
These are the reasons I overdo it
I have been working since I can remember, since I was single digits
Now, even though I've been busted
I don't know where to draw the line 'cause that groove has gotten so deep
And nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing can give a break for this soldier like they do
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong, oh
One more hit
It feels so helpful in my need for respite, oh
And here are the reasons I eat
Reasons I feel everything so deeply when I'm not medicated
And so that's it, I am buying a Lamborghini
To make up for these habits, to survive this sick industry
Nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing can give me a break from this torture like they do
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong, oh
One more sip
It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite, oh
And these are the reasons I don't even think I would quit
And these are the reasons I can't even see straight
And these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects
And I am left wondering how I would function without it
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong, oh
One more rip
I go from one lily pad to another to stay lit, oh
Diagnosis lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Call it what you want
'Cause I don't even care anymore
Call me what you need to
To make yourself comfortable
I've not left the house in a while
I've not felt a glimpse of ease
And I have not made much headway
Since I have come back from the war
And I no longer give a damn
'Bout things that used to matter
And I am covering my eyes
As I am frozen on the spot
And call it what you want
'Cause I don't even care anymore
Call me what you need to
To make yourself comfortable
So I am debilitated
I can't remember where the sentence started
When I'm trying to finish it
And all of you are so frustrated
And everyone around me is tryna help as much as they can
My house is spotless, my lens is
Skewed, my limbs, they recoil
And I'm folding in on myself
Since I am out of order
Call it what you want
'Cause I don't even care anymore
Call me what you want to
To make yourself comfortable
So I am debilitated
I can't remember where the sentence started
When I'm trying to finish it
And all of you are so frustrated
And everyone around me is tryna help as much as they can
But I'll move on in this meltdown
Of nervousness diagnosis
Call it what you want
'Cause I don't even care anymore
Call me what you need to
To make yourself comfortable
So I am debilitated
I can't remember where the sentence started
When I'm trying to finish it
And all of you are so frustrated
And everyone around me is tryna help as much as they can
Call it what you want
Call me what you need to
To feel comfortable
Missing The Miracle lyrics - Alanis Morissette
You call it "right", and I call it "simple"
And somewhere in the middle, it's "truth"
And you see the hill, and I see the castle
Our front that was united is doomed, ooh
You call this "brick-and-mortar", I call this "sacred skin"
You see the figure skater, and I fear the ice is thin
And the light is all around us, but when we spar, it's dim
We're right here in the middle, missing the miracle
You see the cloud and I see the lining
And somewhere in the middle is sun
And you say "It's greatness" and I say "Bad timing"
And when we leave the ring, no one's won, ooh
I go for the jugular, you knock 'til you get in
You hold the loud and raucous, and I hear the dropping pin
And you run all front and center, I whisper paper thin
We're right here in the middle, missing the miracle, oh
The winter gets long
The rapids get white
And what doesn't kill us turns to grey
You call this "brick-and-mortar", I call this "sacred skin"
You see the figure skater, and I fear the ice is thin
And the light is all around us, but when we spar, it's dim
We're right here in the middle, missing the miracle
Missing the miracle (The light is all around us)
Missing the miracle (The light is all around us)
Missing the miracle
Losing The Plot lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Welcome back, insomnia
Ushered back into silence only when everyone else is sleeping
And 'cause the city is sleeping
No one ruthless is rushing to get to the front of the line, as usual
'Cause I am losing the plot
I am grieving the end of superwomaning
I have laid down my cape
As though I haven't risen like a phoenix from a thousand deaths
As though I have not been reborn to notice that my mission is not dead yet
I'm exhausted, Midas
Reigniting a hunger that typically fuels those of us
Still searching for something outside ourselves
'Cause this city bears violence
And everybody is rushing to sob at the podium
And thank for ones who loved and exploited well
I am losing the plot
I am grieving the end of superwomaning
I have laid down my cape
As though I haven't risen like a phoenix from a thousand deaths
As though I haven't been reborn to notice that my mission is not dead yet
The light at the end of the tunnel
The one I have always prayed for is a train
At a hundred miles per hour
And it promises to break my bones if I don't stand still
Rip my heart out, ambition mill or bust
With my relevance in dust
And I am losing the plot
I am grieving the end of superwomaning
I have laid down my cape
As though I haven't risen like a phoenix from a thousand deaths
As though I haven't been reborn to notice that my mission is not dead
As though this fame and pressure has not been a vice around my head
As though my heart has not kept all my cynicism under the mattress
And I can't keep it up
Though the fire is not out yet
I am losing the plot
Reckoning lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Hey, hey, little wonder
You walked the fields with all the fences down
You never knew the scent of the predator
You didn't know the house was on fire
And so you worked as you should
While they prey'd on all you ached for
And they pounced as they would
While the guards were away, oh
Hey, hey, you marauders
You got away while they claim I'm a liar
Why aren't the gods and heroes all around me?
And everyone's turning their eyes to the ground
And so you strike while it's hot
While the barricades are broken
You attacked at your will
While all the locks are frayed, oh
Hey, hey, you denier
Finally everyone is gathering 'round me
Now that we all know better, you'll be haunted
I hope you enjoy these drawings in your jail
And so brace, brace yourself
For this reckoning day
I was once, at a loss
Now I stand at the gate, oh
Sandbox Love lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Catapult me out of this fantasy
It's never been mine, it's always been yours
Take me back in time, start all this from scratch
Please go slowly, 'cause I'm apprehensive
(Ooh, ah, ooh) Into what really happened
(Ooh, ah, ooh) I try not to remember
Here we go, into the danger zone
But this time with a friend
Awkward as fuck
Precious as fuck
Scary as fuck
Us in our sandbox, sandbox love
I'm holding my breath, smoke came from these ears
Said he can't control it, that it was my fault
Take me back to square one, and clear this flashing back
Please tread lightly, 'cause I'm an open affront
(Ooh, ah, ooh) Into what really happened
(Ooh, ah, ooh) I've tried to block it out and
Here we go, into the danger zone
But this time with a friend
Awkward as fuck
Sexy as fuck
Sacred as fuck
Us in our sandbox, sandbox love
'Cause I have not been ready for this challenge
My soul is shy when you ask for more contact
I close my eyes and picture myself somewhere else
Thanks for showing up
Thanks for proving them all wrong
'Cause you are my love
And you are not them
Healing as fuck
Playful as fuck
Present as fuck
Us in our sandbox, sandbox love
Awkward as fuck
Sweet as fuck
Here as fuck
Us in our sandbox, sandbox love
Her lyrics - Alanis Morissette
I am on the floor
I am in my kitchen
This place is so familiar on my knees
I can hear the footsteps
I can see their back walking out
I don't know who to reach for when I need
And so I'll pray to Her today
I ask for mercy and I beg for pauses, ooh
She's coming in warm all like Kali
And coursing through my veins like Liquid Mary, ooh
She's not buying my shell
She sees right through my armor
She lingers in my shadows knowingly
She treats them like they're angels
And maybe they are angels, really
She beckons me to braver inquiry
And so I pray to Her today
I ask for mercy and I beg for patience, ooh
She's coming in hot all like Shakti
And coursing through my veins like Liquid Mary, ooh
And even though she knows me well
It doesn't mean it's easy to pull me out of my self-imposed hell
She knows all of my secrets
When I'm out of my body
I'm starting to see outlines of her face
She follows me when I run away
And even when I cut her off
She still says that she loves me, come what may
And so I pray to Her today
I ask for mercy and I beg for pauses, ooh
She's coming in hot like all Kali
And coursing through my veins like Liquid Mary, ooh
Nemesis lyrics - Alanis Morissette
So I opened the front door, you walked in all handsome
And ready for something you saw in my eyes
Right here, we sat and we tripped out
Saw celestial mosaics, and I fell and I crawled over and held your hand
And nobody worried about the roof being blown off
So I went farther than I'd ever gone before
Change, you are my nemesis
Transition, I hold my breath
This about-face, I'm excited, I'm excited yet
I'm filled with despair, anticipation and dread
This metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window
And so I climbed the stairs and bled, and here was a star seed
Right here he came to us in the bed in our bedroom
And you trusted me enough to follow me anywhere
Or the other way around, the other way around as well
And I blocked my nose and dove in the deep end
And swam like my life depended on it, and it did
Change, you are my nemesis
Transition, I hold my breath
This about-face, I'm excited, I'm excited yet
I'm filled with despair, anticipation and dread
This metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window
Oh, no
Oh, no
Right here, in this very backyard, we promised forever
And we put our helmets on and threw the confetti
And then there's the phone call
Telling me to breathe in through my nose and out my mouth
And out came our girl, faster than we thought
And now I am beyond recognition
I guess that's a good thing, and still, I want to go deeper
Change, you are my nemesis
Transition, I hold my breath
This about-face, I'm excited, I'm excited yet
I'm filled with despair, anticipation and dread
This metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window
Pedestal lyrics - Alanis Morissette
I'm sure you've enjoyed the ride, who wouldn't?
I'm sure every perk has perch you up, how could it not?
And every opportunity through me helped you climb, didn't it?
Dropping my name, blew doors; open that were closed before
And one day, you'll see that you've never really seen me
One day, you'll find out that everything you dreamed of wasn't who stood before you
One day, I won't be craved the way you crave me now
As this pedestal crumbles down and crashes me to the ground
I'm sure you enjoyed my name, who wouldn't take advantage?
I'm sure you enjoyed this game and the proxy pride that you landed
And everything vicarious seemed to build you up
And you grab my crown, and got everything you wanted
And one day, you'll see that you've never really loved me
One day, you'll find out that everything you dreamed of wasn't who stood before you
One day, I won't be craved the way you crave me now
As this pedestal crumbles down and crashes me to the ground
You're left with a human being
You're left with a fallible soul
Oh, when the glitter falls
I'm here and sometimes average, sometimes more
When the glare of the lights grow dim
And you're left with a delicate real
When the bright lights clear, there's just me sitting here
One day, you'll see that you've never really seen me
And one day, you'll find out that everything you dreamed of wasn't who stood before you
One day, I won't be craved the way you crave me now
As this pedestal crumbles down, as this pedestal crashes down
Crashes me to the ground
I'm sure you've enjoyed the ride, who wouldn't?
Who wouldn't?
I Miss The Band lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Inside joke, well understood
The nudge, nudge, wink, wink
And finishing each other's harmonies
The late night drive through Italian roads
Trains pulling out and we're holding on a secret
Where did you go?
We are a league to be reckoned with
As we run all around the planet
And I miss the band
One plus one equals fifty
And I am imploding without you
And there's not a day that goes by
Where I don't hear our music in my head
Where I don't miss traveling in your company
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
We're on a plane, we're in Japan
In baggage claim I ask, what city we just landed in
And the paper slips under the hotel door
I'm shaking all hands
The hum-of-the-road keeps me happy
Where did you go?
I thought we'd meet at the temple
As we go all around this world
And I miss the band
One plus one equals fifty
And I am imploding without you
And there's not a day that goes by
Where I don't hear our music in my head
Where I don't miss adventure in your company
Hugs full of sweat and the late night call in tears
Lights that are blinding, then onto the next country
The ritual huddle as we storm the stage
The sense on the street of this beautiful world
I miss my family, my ears are ringing
The sun streams in on my unmade bed in Portugal
And I miss the band
One plus one equals fifty
And I am imploding without you
And there's not a day that goes by
Where I don't hear our music in my head
Where I don't miss the pleasure of your company
Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love) lyrics - Alanis Morissette
(from "De-Lovely" soundtrack)
But that's why birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
In Spain the best upper-sets do it
Lithuanians and Lats do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The Dutch in Old Amsterdam do it
Not to mention the Finns
Folks in Siam do it, think of Siamese twins
Some Argentinians without means do it
People say in Boston even beans do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Romantic sponges they say do it
Oysters down in Oyster Bay do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Cold Cape Cod clams against their wish do it
Even lazy jellyfish do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Electric eels I might add do it
Though it shocks 'em I know
Why ask if shad do it
Waiter bring me shad roe
In shallow shoals, English soles do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The dragonflies in the reeds do it
Sentimental centipedes do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Mosquitoes heaven forbid do it
So does every katydid do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The most refined ladybugs do it
When a gentleman calls
Moths in your rugs do it
What's the use of moth balls?
Locusts in trees do it, bees do it
Even over-educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Mercy lyrics - Alanis Morissette
We have slaughtered
In the garden of beauty
Digging graves instead of planting
Mercy for the crucified
A bitter justice
Begging eternity for love
We're nothing
We're everything
I am nothing
Yet I am everybody
We're nothing
And yet we are
Wisdom lights up life's road
I know you
No Return (Extended Version) lyrics - Alanis Morissette
(originally by Craig Wedren)
(from "Yellowjackets" soundtrack)
It was cool, nothing fire, nothing broke
Keep simple, nothing tired, nothing old
Same as you
Same as you
Oh, so cute, so revival, so alone
Birthday suit, just a smile, no one home
Same as you
Same as you
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
Carve your name on arrival, don't pass go
Lipstick stain on the rifle blowing smoke
Same as you
Same as you
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
Olive Branch lyrics - Alanis Morissette
This is where righteousness ends
It's a relief to wave this overdue white flag and
My blind spots have tortured you enough
How much salt could I pour in
To think that I called myself a friend?
And here is my olive branch
I'm so sorry
Mea culpa
I'm reaching out to make amends
I'm ready for the consequences
It's unnerving to admit
I'm amazed that you have stood by all this time
My defenses triggered you enough
And all of this in retrospect
I'm riddled with a deep regret
And here is my olive branch
And I'm so sorry
And mea culpa
I'm reaching out to make amends
No pressure for you to let me in
And here is my olive branch
And I'm so sorry
And mea culpa
I'm reaching out to make amends
If I had it to do over again
Here is my olive branch
And I'm so sorry
On The Road Again lyrics - Alanis Morissette (feat. and originally by Willie Nelson)
On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Going places that I've never been
Seeing things that I may never see again
I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world keeps turning our way
And our way
Is on the road again
I just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world keeps turning our way
And our way
Is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
And I can't wait to get on the road again
Predator lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
First I am spotted across the room
Sussed out for the degree of naïveté
When I make the cut, then all systems go
And you take your first step toward me
My eyes are invitations, my welcome sign is bright
My armor is porous enough to be worked by your design
My honesty is commendable but won't pull your heartstrings
This magnet for predators is dying to be discerning
Your system of madness to mimic connection
Then you engender my trust as you pounce
You isolated and then divert attention
Distract from deception keep me in the dark
My eyes are invitations, my welcome sign is bright
My armor is porous enough to be worked by your design
My kindness is commendable but won't pull your heartstrings
This magnet for predators is dying to be discerning
Ooh, ooh, aah
Ooh, ooh, aah
Ooh, ooh, aah
Ooh, ooh, aah
You kept me off balance with your charming deflection
You kept me distracted, couldn't pick this apart
What started as union, turned to isolation
And you are obsessed with your prey
My eyes are invitations, my welcome sign is bright
My armor is porous enough to be worked by your design
My trusting is commendable but won't pull your heartstrings
This magnet for predators is learning to be discerning
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Princes Familiar lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Please be philosophical
Please be tapped into your femininity
Please be able to take the wheel from me
Please be crazy and curious
Papa, love your princess
So that she will find loving princes familiar
Papa, cry for your princess
So that she will find gentle princes familiar
Please be a sexaholic
Please be unpredictably miserable
Please be self absorbed much (not the good kind)
Please be addicted to some substance
Papa, listen to your princess
So that she will find attentive princes familiar
Papa, hear your princess so that she will find curious princes familiar
Please be the jerk of my knee
I've fit you always
You finish my sentences
I think I love you
What is your name again
No matter
I'm guessing your thoughts again correctly
And I love
The way you press my buttons so much sometimes I could strangle you
Papa, laugh with your princess
So that she will find funny princes familiar
Papa, respect your princess
So that she will find respectful princes familiar
Papa, love your princess
So that she will find loving princes familiar
Papa, cry for your princess
So that she will find gentle princes familiar
Please be strangely enigmatic
Please be just like my
Souleye + Ever + Me + Love = Sweetness lyrics - Alanis Morissette
It started harmless enough
Animal infatuation
But something within it prevailed
You were a sweet amalgamation
Of all the parts I have loved
The hottest slippery slope
And out came depth
And out comes healing
Out comes friendship unlike any I've known
Happy anniversary, baby
You've gone from a prince into a king
Happy anniversary, darling
I've gone from a maiden to a queen
Continued and softened us up
Our rocks are hewn by this water of love
And steadfast our pinky swear
And out comes fun
Out comes relief
Out comes championing unlike any I've known
Happy anniversary baby
You've gone from a prince into a king
Happy anniversary darling
I've gone from a maiden to a queen
How far have we come?
And how far we've yet to go
'Til we're gray, great grandparents?
'Til we're one tiny little wrinkle?
I say: I do, I do, I do
Happy anniversary baby
You've gone from a prince into a king
Happy anniversary darling
I've gone from a maiden to a queen
And so, we'll trapse
From paper through diamonds
A family tree's genesis
Our fingers t'wining together
And out comes ever
And out comes alchemy
And out comes drooling on your chest
Happy anniversary baby
You've gone from a prince into a king
Happy anniversary darling
I've gone from a maiden to a queen

The Bottom Line lyrics - Alanis Morissette
If somebody asked you to surrender
and that was the only way to win
if somebody offered you the freedom to open your mind again
would you take that flight
would you walk right in
so meet me down at the bottom line
and open my heart with your hands
and we'll hear the sound of pretenses falling
and find where the truth has been
down at the bottom line
if somebody led you to the water
if somebody taught you (right?) how to swim
if somebody took your doubt and turned it out
and then you could breathe again
would you take that chance
would you dive right in
so meet me down at the bottom line
and open my heart with your hands
and we'll hear the sound of pretenses falling
and find where the truth has been
down at the bottom line
what if the wind blows
the cradle will fall
what if the wise man knows nothing at all
we justify
we crucify
but we don't have the balls to cry
so meet me down at the bottom line
and open my heart with your hands
and we'll hear the sound of pretenses falling
and find where the truth has been
down at the bottom line
where truth always flows
that's where we'll go
and that was the only way to win
if somebody offered you the freedom to open your mind again
would you take that flight
would you walk right in
so meet me down at the bottom line
and open my heart with your hands
and we'll hear the sound of pretenses falling
and find where the truth has been

so meet me down at the bottom line
and open my heart with your hands
and we'll hear the sound of pretenses falling
and find where the truth has been
down at the bottom line
where truth always flows
that's where we'll go
Superstar Wonderful Weirdos lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Well, Sarah's only 10
And she's attracted to older men
And they seem to like her back but she's intelligent
And Billy's a football star
He drives around in his muscle car
But he really really wants to be a ballerina
And he wonders who am I?
Who am I?
And he wants to be a man
But he doesn't understand
It's alright to be what he wants
I'm calling all superstar wonderful weirdos
Can you hear me call tonight?
I know you're alone in your world, full of fear though
But the more you run, the harder it is to hide
Oh, yeah, yeah
Well, Johnny studies rockets
With his plastic protected pockets
So his pens don't leak out upon the floor
Where Jenny's rolling
And she's scared of growing
Cause she is 5 feet taller than the girl next door
And she wonders who am I?
What the hell am I?
And she's got a lot to offer
But she doesn't look like Cindy Crawford
And it makes her cry
I'm calling all superstar wonderful weirdos
Can you hear me call tonight?
I know you're alone in your world, full of fear though
But the more you run, the harder it is to hide
It's a total rejection of the system
It's the honest opinion for the very first time
It's a different perception of living
And it's time that we opened our minds
I'm calling all superstar wonderful weirdos
You're not alone tonight
No you're not alone in your world, full of fear though
But the more you run, the harder it is to hide
Can you hear me?
And she's attracted to older men
And they seem to like her back but she's intelligent
And Billy's a football star
He drives around in his muscle car
But he really really wants to be a ballerina
And he wonders who am I?
Who am I?
And he wants to be a man
But he doesn't understand
It's alright to be what he wants
I'm calling all superstar wonderful weirdos
Can you hear me call tonight?
I know you're alone in your world, full of fear though
But the more you run, the harder it is to hide
Oh, yeah, yeah
Well, Johnny studies rockets
With his plastic protected pockets
So his pens don't leak out upon the floor
Where Jenny's rolling
And she's scared of growing
Cause she is 5 feet taller than the girl next door
And she wonders who am I?
What the hell am I?
And she's got a lot to offer
But she doesn't look like Cindy Crawford
And it makes her cry
I'm calling all superstar wonderful weirdos
Can you hear me call tonight?
I know you're alone in your world, full of fear though
But the more you run, the harder it is to hide
It's a total rejection of the system
It's the honest opinion for the very first time
It's a different perception of living
And it's time that we opened our minds
I'm calling all superstar wonderful weirdos
You're not alone tonight
No you're not alone in your world, full of fear though
But the more you run, the harder it is to hide
Can you hear me?
Closer Than You Might Believe lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Friday night's your poem
Saturday your wet dream
Sunday wakes you up slowly
To a face that you don't wanna see
I turned you on, but I left you hungry
And your heart didn't matter 'til the weekend is gone
Baby sure you're getting some
Really didn't matter if I can't
So if the love that you're chasing after
Is in the heart to be found in the out of reach
Well, if you break it all down
Take a good look around, you'd see
That it's closer than you might believe
Should I take a number?
Should I wait for a day to arrive?
I still hear you cry on my shoulder when
Its not nice on what I gave you tonight
But I let you in
But you leave me standing
And you wonder why I can't relate anymore
Don't you ever think of what it comes down to
No one has to figure out the way that I do
And you know I do
So if the love that you're chasing after
Is in the heart to be found in the out of reach
Well, if you break it all down
Take a good look around, you'd see
That it's closer than you might believe
Slow and easy
I'll tell you that's the way to go
It'll change the way you see me
And you'll will know it
And you will know
So if the love that you're chasing after
Is in the heart to be found in the out of reach
Well, if you break it all down
Take a good look around, you'd see
That it's closer than you might believe
Just turn around and get it
Saturday your wet dream
Sunday wakes you up slowly
To a face that you don't wanna see
I turned you on, but I left you hungry
And your heart didn't matter 'til the weekend is gone
Baby sure you're getting some
Really didn't matter if I can't
So if the love that you're chasing after
Is in the heart to be found in the out of reach
Well, if you break it all down
Take a good look around, you'd see
That it's closer than you might believe
Should I take a number?
Should I wait for a day to arrive?
I still hear you cry on my shoulder when
Its not nice on what I gave you tonight
But I let you in
But you leave me standing
And you wonder why I can't relate anymore
Don't you ever think of what it comes down to
No one has to figure out the way that I do
And you know I do
So if the love that you're chasing after
Is in the heart to be found in the out of reach
Well, if you break it all down
Take a good look around, you'd see
That it's closer than you might believe
Slow and easy
I'll tell you that's the way to go
It'll change the way you see me
And you'll will know it
And you will know
So if the love that you're chasing after
Is in the heart to be found in the out of reach
Well, if you break it all down
Take a good look around, you'd see
That it's closer than you might believe
Just turn around and get it
No Avalon lyrics - Alanis Morissette
I'm just a white girl
From a small, safe town
What could I possibly know about destruction?
My lawn sure looks green today
Underneath these suburban skies
But the little boy next door wants to be the Lord of the Flies
It's like Cain and Abel and the holy sacrifice
And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes
And if there is no Avalon and we only have one life
It's hard to conceive why we let our brothers die
My bed is so safe here
And my rose-colored glasses, they're broken
And how the truth leaks in
And I, I can't imagine
I saw it on the news tonight
That they'd announce his name
I saw the blood on his hands
And they told me to look away
I tell ya it's like Cain and Abel and the holy sacrifice
And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes
And if there is no Avalon and we only have one life
It's hard to conceive why we let our sisters die
Why, why?
Why?
It's a confuse civilization, darling
I tell ya it's like Cain and Abel and the holy sacrifice
And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes
And if there is no Avalon and we only have one life
It's hard to conceive why we let our people die
We let 'em die
And watch them die
From a small, safe town
What could I possibly know about destruction?
My lawn sure looks green today
Underneath these suburban skies
But the little boy next door wants to be the Lord of the Flies
It's like Cain and Abel and the holy sacrifice
And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes
And if there is no Avalon and we only have one life
It's hard to conceive why we let our brothers die
My bed is so safe here
And my rose-colored glasses, they're broken
And how the truth leaks in
And I, I can't imagine
I saw it on the news tonight
That they'd announce his name
I saw the blood on his hands
And they told me to look away
I tell ya it's like Cain and Abel and the holy sacrifice
And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes
And if there is no Avalon and we only have one life
It's hard to conceive why we let our sisters die
Why, why?
Why?
It's a confuse civilization, darling
I tell ya it's like Cain and Abel and the holy sacrifice
And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes
And if there is no Avalon and we only have one life
It's hard to conceive why we let our people die
We let 'em die
And watch them die
Comfort lyrics - Alanis Morissette
We spent our days in contemplation
Too much too soon
and though it hurts to let it linger on and on
You're all I need
What will my heart allow
When loneliness holds me down
So move closer and comfort me now
Move over if you care for me
But I guess you can't come out for a while
We spent our nights in conversation
Too much to prove
And I've been a fool to let it linger on and on
You're all I see
Shaping our love we found
impossible higher ground
So move closer and comfort me now
Move over if you care for me
Well I guess you can't come out for a while
Won't you move closer and comfort me now
Move over if you care for me
Well I've come to learn how love can cage you
tear you up then try to replace you
I guess I won't come out for a while
With no warning, no pause, no pity
Why-y -- why-why-y-y
Don't wake awake my soul anymore
Just stay away from me a little while
Where will you go when we walk away
oooo-oooh -- ooo-ohh
My only comfort is gone
With no warning, no pause, no pity
Too much too soon
and though it hurts to let it linger on and on
You're all I need
What will my heart allow
When loneliness holds me down
So move closer and comfort me now
Move over if you care for me
But I guess you can't come out for a while
We spent our nights in conversation
Too much to prove
And I've been a fool to let it linger on and on
You're all I see
Shaping our love we found
impossible higher ground
So move closer and comfort me now
Move over if you care for me
Well I guess you can't come out for a while
Won't you move closer and comfort me now
Move over if you care for me
Well I've come to learn how love can cage you
tear you up then try to replace you
I guess I won't come out for a while
With no warning, no pause, no pity
Why-y -- why-why-y-y
Don't wake awake my soul anymore
Just stay away from me a little while
Where will you go when we walk away
oooo-oooh -- ooo-ohh
My only comfort is gone
With no warning, no pause, no pity
Gorgeous lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Testosterone in large amounts
Your little sister just kick out of
God you can't shave your head
Come to the show the boys rock harder
Your mother lent you her slip
She lent you her bright red lipstick
And your shoes are hurting your back
But boy don't you look gorgeous
You look gorgeous
you look gorgeous
You look gorgeous
How you look gorgeous
This is but an observation
You put a bullet in your foot
You make it hard for us bitches inconsequential in your back bends
And your taste in men leaves something to be desired
You love them to be aloof and self obsessed
They love you in your mini dress
You are looking gorgeous
You're looking gorgeous
You're looking gorgeous
How you look gorgeous
When your voice is raised above a certain level
I'm afraid you must go to the ladies room
I left your competence in curlers
You look gorgeous
You look gorgeous
You're looking gorgeous
How you look gorgeous
Your little sister just kick out of
God you can't shave your head
Come to the show the boys rock harder
Your mother lent you her slip
She lent you her bright red lipstick
And your shoes are hurting your back
But boy don't you look gorgeous
You look gorgeous
you look gorgeous
You look gorgeous
How you look gorgeous
This is but an observation
You put a bullet in your foot
You make it hard for us bitches inconsequential in your back bends
And your taste in men leaves something to be desired
You love them to be aloof and self obsessed
They love you in your mini dress
You are looking gorgeous
You're looking gorgeous
You're looking gorgeous
How you look gorgeous
When your voice is raised above a certain level
I'm afraid you must go to the ladies room
I left your competence in curlers
You look gorgeous
You look gorgeous
You're looking gorgeous
How you look gorgeous
King Of Intimidation lyrics - King Of Intimidation
"The women of this family seem to feel that they owe it to the men of the family to look relaxed, rested, and attractive at dinner time"
For you they live in a quiet monastery.
For you they wear whatever you want them to as long as it is short
They count to ten when you tell them how to drive and
When they're afraid they let you speak for them
All hail the king of intimidation;
Model of good Christian behavior
For you we wax, nostalgic-ened our legs.
For you we chew our nails if we had any left buy fake ones to do it
We counted to ten temporarily and it was
Something about how you talk down to me
All hail the king of intimidation;
Model of good Christian behavior
The room of compromise is full and apparently you don't want some
Theres only so much we can do to make your rest assured
I am single
I am weary
You're just jealous
You're just confused
Your just hungry
You're missing out
You're not healthy
You I pity
All hail the king of intimidation;
Model of Christian behavior
And he knows not of what he has wrongly done
So forgive his ignorant behavior
You are tortured
You are captured
You were busted
We were silent
You were tested
You knew better
You are lonely
Was it worth it?
For you they live in a quiet monastery.
For you they wear whatever you want them to as long as it is short
They count to ten when you tell them how to drive and
When they're afraid they let you speak for them
All hail the king of intimidation;
Model of good Christian behavior
For you we wax, nostalgic-ened our legs.
For you we chew our nails if we had any left buy fake ones to do it
We counted to ten temporarily and it was
Something about how you talk down to me
All hail the king of intimidation;
Model of good Christian behavior
The room of compromise is full and apparently you don't want some
Theres only so much we can do to make your rest assured
I am single
I am weary
You're just jealous
You're just confused
Your just hungry
You're missing out
You're not healthy
You I pity
All hail the king of intimidation;
Model of Christian behavior
And he knows not of what he has wrongly done
So forgive his ignorant behavior
You are tortured
You are captured
You were busted
We were silent
You were tested
You knew better
You are lonely
Was it worth it?
Death Of Cinderella lyrics - Alanis Morissette
I'm wise and ambitious,
And angry and free,
And smart and available,
And sexy...
I'm soft and appealing,
And wearing pajamas,
And twisted and willing,
And crazy...
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella
She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella
Who can use her
And it's all you could do not to throw her on the floor.
And thought-provoking,
And opinionated
Cultured and funny,
And experienced...
Fearless and tender,
And sweetly innocent,
Uninhibited,
Likes a good debate.
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella
She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella
Who can use her
And it's all you could do not to tie her to the bed.
I could fall in love a million times before I die
You could draw me a bubble bath,
We could walk into the sunset...
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella
She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella
Who can use her
And it's all you could do not to shake her sober.
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella
I'm gonna grow to be a maid cause I'll never find a fella
Who can use me
And it's all you can do not to kick me in the ass.
And angry and free,
And smart and available,
And sexy...
I'm soft and appealing,
And wearing pajamas,
And twisted and willing,
And crazy...
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella
She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella
Who can use her
And it's all you could do not to throw her on the floor.
And thought-provoking,
And opinionated
Cultured and funny,
And experienced...
Fearless and tender,
And sweetly innocent,
Uninhibited,
Likes a good debate.
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella
She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella
Who can use her
And it's all you could do not to tie her to the bed.
I could fall in love a million times before I die
You could draw me a bubble bath,
We could walk into the sunset...
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella
She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella
Who can use her
And it's all you could do not to shake her sober.
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella
I'm gonna grow to be a maid cause I'll never find a fella
Who can use me
And it's all you can do not to kick me in the ass.
London lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Bougainvilleas fall into the pool
The hard shelled bugs bite my forearm
My right index fingernail chewed to the quick
My cervix is alarmed, scared even.
My sprinklers go off at 6 pm each day
And sometimes they spray unsuspecting visitors
My pimples are gooses all over my legs
My brow is furrowed and my vision is blurred
And how I do love London
And how I do love London
The birds make guttural sounds and protect me
My friends come to visit and love me a lot
I don't have the energy to fill them in
I am lagged by the jet and the 12 hour flight
And how I do love London
And how I do love London
I am intrigued by the boy with the androgynous songs
Sometimes they rhyme sometimes they rhyme not
The steam will smell of eucalyptus in the shower
The hug will feel forced upon you inconsolable thing
And how I do love London
And how I do love London
Deep breaths will not make my brain stand still
To be loved and swallowed or single and depraved
I love speaking French to the taxi drivers
We slept and were cold on the train out of France
And how I do love London
And how I do love London
These Are The Thoughts lyrics - Alanis Morissette
These are the thoughts that go through my head
in my backyard on a sunday afternoon
when I have the house to myself and I am not
spending all that energy on fighting
with my
boy
friend
Is he the one that I will marry
and why is it so hard to be eager to myself
and why do I feel cellularly alone
am I supposed to live in this crazy city
you mean
I'm not
acorn
Where does the money go that I send
to charities if we have so much why do some people have
nothing still I do, I feel frantic when I
first wake up in the morning
why do you say you are spiritual
yet you treat people like shit
How can you say you're close to God
and yet you talk behind
my back as though I'm not
a part of you, why do
you say "you're fine" when it's
obvious you are not
why's it so hard to tell you what I want
why can't you just read my mind?
Why do I fear that the quieter I am
the less people will listen
why do I care whether you like me or not
why's it so hard for me to be angry
why is it so hard to become
push on and then so easy to get stuck
and not the other way around
Will I ever move back to Canada again
I'd be with a lover with whom I am a student
and don't ask why am I encouraged to shut my mouth
when it gets too close to home, why cannot I
live
in the
moment
in my backyard on a sunday afternoon
when I have the house to myself and I am not
spending all that energy on fighting
with my
boy
friend
Is he the one that I will marry
and why is it so hard to be eager to myself
and why do I feel cellularly alone
am I supposed to live in this crazy city
you mean
I'm not
acorn
Where does the money go that I send
to charities if we have so much why do some people have
nothing still I do, I feel frantic when I
first wake up in the morning
why do you say you are spiritual
yet you treat people like shit
How can you say you're close to God
and yet you talk behind
my back as though I'm not
a part of you, why do
you say "you're fine" when it's
obvious you are not
why's it so hard to tell you what I want
why can't you just read my mind?
Why do I fear that the quieter I am
the less people will listen
why do I care whether you like me or not
why's it so hard for me to be angry
why is it so hard to become
push on and then so easy to get stuck
and not the other way around
Will I ever move back to Canada again
I'd be with a lover with whom I am a student
and don't ask why am I encouraged to shut my mouth
when it gets too close to home, why cannot I
live
in the
moment

Guardian lyrics - Alanis Morissette
You, you who has smiled when you're in pain
You who has soldiered through the profane
They were distracted and shut down
So why, why would you talk to me at all
Such words were dishonorable and in vain
Their promise as solid as the fog
And where was your watchman then
I'll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I'll be your warrior of care your first warden
I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian
You, you in the chaos feigning sane
You who was pushed beyond what's humane
Them as a ghostly tumbleweed
And where was your watchman then
I'll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I'll be your warrior of care your first warden
I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian
Now no more smiling mid crestfall
No more managing unmanageables
No more holding still in the hailstorm
Now enter your watchwoman
I'll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I'll be your warrior of care your first warden
I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian
You who has soldiered through the profane
They were distracted and shut down
So why, why would you talk to me at all
Such words were dishonorable and in vain
Their promise as solid as the fog
And where was your watchman then
I'll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I'll be your warrior of care your first warden
I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian
You, you in the chaos feigning sane
You who was pushed beyond what's humane
Them as a ghostly tumbleweed
And where was your watchman then
I'll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I'll be your warrior of care your first warden
I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian
Now no more smiling mid crestfall
No more managing unmanageables
No more holding still in the hailstorm
Now enter your watchwoman
I'll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I'll be your warrior of care your first warden
I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian
Woman Down lyrics - Alanis Morissette
First woman down was your mother
She did condone how you behave
All you could see was your father
His disrespect was in her face
Next woman down was your sister
Her silence did corroborate
She took her cues from the climate
And never knew another way
Who do you take me for?
Calling all woman haters
We’ve lowered the bar on the
Behavior that we will take – come on now
Calling all lady haters
Why must you vilify us?
Are you willing to clean the slate? – woman down
Woman down
Next woman down was your lover
She takes your spite at value face
Even her hair length and color
Gives you the impulse to repeat
Who do you take me for?
Calling all woman haters
We’ve lowered the bar on the
Behavior that we will take — come on now
Calling all lady haters
Why must you vilify us?
Are you willing to clean the slate? — woman down
Woman down
Woman down
Next woman down is your daughter
A stranger to being debased
She has a new lease and limit
On the abuse she’ll tolerate
Who do you take me for?
Calling all woman haters
We’ve lowered the bar on the behavior that we will take — come on now
Calling all lady haters
Why must you vilify us
Are you willing to clean the slate? — woman down
Woman down

Til You lyrics - Alanis Morissette
I’ve been wasting time
Clawing my way to you
Taking no prisoners with my romantic crimes
I’ve been holding on imagining glimpses of you
Holding my breath while you come down the pike
Spinning my wheels around
I’m here, dodging bullets til you
Ear to the ground
While I'm dodging bullets til you
I’ve been taking notes
Nursing the thought of you
Research and deliver 'cause I’m biding my time
I’ve been holding on this magnet that calls to you
Entertaining myself with these consolation prizes
Spinning my wheels around
I’m here, dodging bullets til you
Ear to the ground
While I'm dodging bullets til you
They’ve been plenty fond
But mere placeholders for you
They fill this dance card
As you form in my mind
Spinning my wheels around
I’m here, dodging bullets til you
Ear to the ground
I’m here, dodging bullets til you
Til you
Clawing my way to you
Taking no prisoners with my romantic crimes
I’ve been holding on imagining glimpses of you
Holding my breath while you come down the pike
Spinning my wheels around
I’m here, dodging bullets til you
Ear to the ground
While I'm dodging bullets til you
I’ve been taking notes
Nursing the thought of you
Research and deliver 'cause I’m biding my time
I’ve been holding on this magnet that calls to you
Entertaining myself with these consolation prizes
Spinning my wheels around
I’m here, dodging bullets til you
Ear to the ground
While I'm dodging bullets til you
They’ve been plenty fond
But mere placeholders for you
They fill this dance card
As you form in my mind
Spinning my wheels around
I’m here, dodging bullets til you
Ear to the ground
I’m here, dodging bullets til you
Til you
Celebrity lyrics - Alanis Morissette
I have tasted stardom since before I breathed
My well-known hungry daddy modeled for me
And I have never left this ambitious city
And I've only known a lust for VIP
I have studied long and hard how to proceed
Nothing but my name in bright lights call to me
And I display the perfect amount of ennui
I'll carve my face up if you'll indulge me
Give me celebrity
My kingdom to be famous
Tell me who I have to be
Starving to be famous
Never wondered who's pulling strings above me
Cause I'm aware of wheels, heels and vintage Gucci
I'm on my twentieth round of Vitamin V
And I'll cut my weight in two if you'll have me
Give me celebrity
My kingdom to be famous
Tell me who I have to be
Starving to be famous
Let me into this exclusive club
Ignore my not-so-hidden agenda
I am a tattooed sexy dancing monkey
Just aloof enough to get you to want me
Hoping my persona ingratiates me
Give my life for an opportunity
Give me celebrity
My kingdom to be famous
Tell me who I have to be
Starving to be famous
My well-known hungry daddy modeled for me
And I have never left this ambitious city
And I've only known a lust for VIP
I have studied long and hard how to proceed
Nothing but my name in bright lights call to me
And I display the perfect amount of ennui
I'll carve my face up if you'll indulge me
Give me celebrity
My kingdom to be famous
Tell me who I have to be
Starving to be famous
Never wondered who's pulling strings above me
Cause I'm aware of wheels, heels and vintage Gucci
I'm on my twentieth round of Vitamin V
And I'll cut my weight in two if you'll have me
Give me celebrity
My kingdom to be famous
Tell me who I have to be
Starving to be famous
Let me into this exclusive club
Ignore my not-so-hidden agenda
I am a tattooed sexy dancing monkey
Just aloof enough to get you to want me
Hoping my persona ingratiates me
Give my life for an opportunity
Give me celebrity
My kingdom to be famous
Tell me who I have to be
Starving to be famous
Empathy lyrics - Alanis Morissette
There are so many parts that I have hidden and denied and lost
There are so many ways that I have cut off my nose to spite my face
There are so many colors that I still try to hide while I paint
And there are so many tunes that I secretly sing as I wait
You come along and invite these parts out of hiding
This invitation is the one that I've stopped fighting....
Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by your empathy
Oh this intimacy
There were so many times, I thought I'd die not being truly known
There've been so many moments: forever lonely in my vocation
You come along and celebrate each feeling
And there you are all honor and inquiring.......
Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by your empathy
Oh this intimacy
There was a day where the trust that was being asked of me
Required too much you see
To accept your generosity
And to know myself enough to let you help me
Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by your empathy
Oh this intimacy
There are so many ways that I have cut off my nose to spite my face
There are so many colors that I still try to hide while I paint
And there are so many tunes that I secretly sing as I wait
You come along and invite these parts out of hiding
This invitation is the one that I've stopped fighting....
Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by your empathy
Oh this intimacy
There were so many times, I thought I'd die not being truly known
There've been so many moments: forever lonely in my vocation
You come along and celebrate each feeling
And there you are all honor and inquiring.......
Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by your empathy
Oh this intimacy
There was a day where the trust that was being asked of me
Required too much you see
To accept your generosity
And to know myself enough to let you help me
Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by your empathy
Oh this intimacy
Lens lyrics - Alanis Morissette
You and I are in the same room
We both think we're fair
We both live for truths
But then how are we to define something so subjective
Living under the same roof
So here, these battles of wills
They beg for some proof
Of right versus wrong
Your approach seen as better than mine
Though it's working for you all I feel is disconnection
So now it's your (your) religion 'gainst my (my) religion
My humble opinion 'gainst yours
This does not feel like love
It's your (your) conviction 'gainst my (my) conviction
And I'd like to know what we'd see
Through the lens of love… love… love… love
And so now your grand assessment
Is that I'm not in your group that I'm not your kind
And so we're locked in a stalemate with you
In your corner and me dismayed in mine
So now it's your (your) religion 'gainst my (my) religion
My humble opinion 'gainst yours
This does not feel like love
It's your (your) conviction 'gainst my (my) conviction
And I'd like to know what we'd see
Through the lens of love… love… love… love
And this stance keeps us locked in boxing gloves
And this lie remains about us being separate
So now it's your (your) religion 'gainst my (my) religion
My humble opinion 'gainst yours
This does not feel like love
It's your (your) conviction 'gainst my (my) conviction
And I'd like to know what we'd see
Through the lens of love… love… love… love
We both think we're fair
We both live for truths
But then how are we to define something so subjective
Living under the same roof
So here, these battles of wills
They beg for some proof
Of right versus wrong
Your approach seen as better than mine
Though it's working for you all I feel is disconnection
So now it's your (your) religion 'gainst my (my) religion
My humble opinion 'gainst yours
This does not feel like love
It's your (your) conviction 'gainst my (my) conviction
And I'd like to know what we'd see
Through the lens of love… love… love… love
And so now your grand assessment

And so we're locked in a stalemate with you

Spiral lyrics - Alanis Morissette
I could be daydreaming but for a moment
And somehow they're creeping back in
I could be sleeping awakened the torrent
Somehow I get caught in their grips again
And here I am in my shame spiral
I'm sucked in to it again
And I reach out for your benevolent opinion
And you bring the light back in
Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
Cause they do their best to bring me down
When I'm alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down
I could be listening to a conversation
The story I'm not even in
These voices have their way when I am unguarded
Suddenly I step in quicksand again
Once again in my shame spiral
I am glad that you've weighed in
Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
Cause they do their best to bring me down
When I'm alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down
All these judgements, so incisive
Voices left to their devices
This moments narratee is a desperate plea
For slack to be cut to me
Cut to me
Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
Cause they do their best to bring me down
When I'm alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down
And somehow they're creeping back in
I could be sleeping awakened the torrent
Somehow I get caught in their grips again
And here I am in my shame spiral
I'm sucked in to it again
And I reach out for your benevolent opinion
And you bring the light back in
Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
Cause they do their best to bring me down
When I'm alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down
I could be listening to a conversation
The story I'm not even in
These voices have their way when I am unguarded
Suddenly I step in quicksand again
Once again in my shame spiral
I am glad that you've weighed in
Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
Cause they do their best to bring me down
When I'm alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down
All these judgements, so incisive
Voices left to their devices
This moments narratee is a desperate plea
For slack to be cut to me
Cut to me
Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
Cause they do their best to bring me down
When I'm alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down
Numb lyrics - Alanis Morissette
I feel smothered and encumbered and defeated and drawn
Disappointed, over-extended and frustrated and shaken
This over-giving , over-loving, this care taking goes on
With no chance of intermission.
I'll be checked out, I'll be gone
Have to remove myself from sensation
Here comes the feeling
I run from the feeling and reach for the drug
Can't sit with this feeling
I'd rather be flying and comfortably numb
I feel anxious, I am nervous, I am bored
I'm overwhelmed, rather be out of my gourd
Have to remove myself from sensation
Here comes the feeling
I run from the feeling and reach for the drug
Can't sit with this feeling
I'd rather be flying and comfortably numb
I am lonely, I feel hungry and unloved
I feel angry, I am livid, need a hug
Here comes the feeling
I run from the feeling and reach for the drug
Can't sit with this feeling
I'd rather be flying and comfortably numb
Disappointed, over-extended and frustrated and shaken
This over-giving , over-loving, this care taking goes on
With no chance of intermission.
I'll be checked out, I'll be gone
Have to remove myself from sensation
Here comes the feeling
I run from the feeling and reach for the drug
Can't sit with this feeling
I'd rather be flying and comfortably numb
I feel anxious, I am nervous, I am bored
I'm overwhelmed, rather be out of my gourd
Have to remove myself from sensation
Here comes the feeling
I run from the feeling and reach for the drug
Can't sit with this feeling
I'd rather be flying and comfortably numb
I am lonely, I feel hungry and unloved
I feel angry, I am livid, need a hug
Here comes the feeling
I run from the feeling and reach for the drug
Can't sit with this feeling
I'd rather be flying and comfortably numb
Havoc lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Just when I thought
I had handles on this
I can soften my guard behind false confidence
Just when I felt
Humble pie insipid
Exempt from this blind-side and firmly in its grip
Cause I am seduced by reaction and under the influence
I'm slipping again
I'm up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense I'm
Wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence
I get reduced by my own willfulness as
I reach for my usual God replacements
Cause I am rich with sanction and lax in my steps
I'm slipping again
I'm up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense I'm
Wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence
If forgiveness is understanding
Then I offer mea culpa for the millionth time
From this tumbling house of cards of mine
I am beaten by my impulsiveness
By this uncanny foreshadowing of regret
Cause I'm repulsed by restriction at least that's my excuse
I'm slipping again
I'm up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense I'm
Wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence
I'm slipping again
I'm up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense
I'm wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence
I had handles on this
I can soften my guard behind false confidence
Just when I felt
Humble pie insipid
Exempt from this blind-side and firmly in its grip
Cause I am seduced by reaction and under the influence
I'm slipping again
I'm up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense I'm
Wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence
I get reduced by my own willfulness as
I reach for my usual God replacements
Cause I am rich with sanction and lax in my steps
I'm slipping again
I'm up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense I'm
Wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence
If forgiveness is understanding
Then I offer mea culpa for the millionth time
From this tumbling house of cards of mine
I am beaten by my impulsiveness
By this uncanny foreshadowing of regret
Cause I'm repulsed by restriction at least that's my excuse
I'm slipping again
I'm up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense I'm
Wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence
I'm slipping again
I'm up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense
I'm wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence
Win And Win lyrics - Alanis Morissette
In my old days someone won
Those were days of win-lose
In those bleak times I was better
I sat high: looking down by a nose
Changed direction: looking up
I am not worthy to be with you
We are separate, I’m inferior
I have yearnings to sit across from you
‘Cause we’re eye to eye
We are win and win
We are equal to each other
We are flames of twin
We are offspring of truth
We are partners sister brother
Both directions speak a lie
Up or down, I can feel you
As we battle with our power
We are separate, not looking across
‘Cause we’re eye to eye
We are win and win
We are equal to each other
We are flames of twin
We are offspring of truth
We are partners sister brother
These delusions of our grandeur
We are locked in the struggle
These lies of status lower
These conclusions, we’re in trouble
‘Cause we’re eye to eye
We are win and win
We are equal to each other
We are flames of twin
We are offspring of truth
We are partners sister brother
Same value.... same value....
Those were days of win-lose
In those bleak times I was better
I sat high: looking down by a nose
Changed direction: looking up
I am not worthy to be with you
We are separate, I’m inferior
I have yearnings to sit across from you
‘Cause we’re eye to eye
We are win and win
We are equal to each other
We are flames of twin
We are offspring of truth
We are partners sister brother
Both directions speak a lie
Up or down, I can feel you
As we battle with our power
We are separate, not looking across
‘Cause we’re eye to eye
We are win and win
We are equal to each other
We are flames of twin
We are offspring of truth
We are partners sister brother
These delusions of our grandeur
We are locked in the struggle
These lies of status lower
These conclusions, we’re in trouble
‘Cause we’re eye to eye
We are win and win
We are equal to each other
We are flames of twin
We are offspring of truth
We are partners sister brother
Same value.... same value....
Receive lyrics - Alanis Morissette
I wake up and first things first
I’m of service
I make sure your needs are met, as a selfless
I give hard and serve hard and now I, I need a break
I give big, I give all and now it’s time to regenerate
[Chorus:]
Today’s all about me, all about cup filling
Today’s all about me learning how, how to receive
How to receive,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I move on through offerings often one-sided
Being this low on list of worth: over-extended
I give hard, provide hard and now I need some relief
I look out, I proffer, and now I need some respite indeed
[Chorus:]
Today’s all about me, all about cup filling
Today’s all about me learning how, how to receive
How to receive,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
My habit to love you first and me: remainders
Favoring you is so knee-jerk, leaves me a stranger
I give hard, impart hard and now I need to retreat
I give out, dedicate and now I need to acknowledge me
[Chorus:]
Today’s all about me, all about cup filling
Today’s all about me learning how, how to receive
How to receive,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
How to receive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
How to receive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
How to receive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
How to receive
I’m of service
I make sure your needs are met, as a selfless
I give hard and serve hard and now I, I need a break
I give big, I give all and now it’s time to regenerate
[Chorus:]
Today’s all about me, all about cup filling
Today’s all about me learning how, how to receive
How to receive,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I move on through offerings often one-sided
Being this low on list of worth: over-extended
I give hard, provide hard and now I need some relief
I look out, I proffer, and now I need some respite indeed
[Chorus:]
Today’s all about me, all about cup filling
Today’s all about me learning how, how to receive
How to receive,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
My habit to love you first and me: remainders
Favoring you is so knee-jerk, leaves me a stranger
I give hard, impart hard and now I need to retreat
I give out, dedicate and now I need to acknowledge me
[Chorus:]
Today’s all about me, all about cup filling
Today’s all about me learning how, how to receive
How to receive,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
How to receive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
How to receive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
How to receive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
How to receive
Edge Of Evolution lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Here I leave my story, I leave it in the dust
Although this psychology's been entertaining enough
Herein lies the witness objective with my stuff
But we're ready to push envelopes into full-blown consciousness
So here we go out here on the edge of evolution
Numbers growing out here on the edge of evolution
I have had my glimpses with and without substances
I have had awakenings non-abiding for the most part
And here we go out here on the edge of evolution
Numbers growing out here on the edge of evolution
In this sacred duality
The highs and lows and the heres and there's
These aversions and these cravings
Push me beyond identity into pure awareness (we're already here)
And here we are out here on the edge of evolution
We keep going out here on the edge of evolution
Here we are out here on the edge of evolution
We keep going out here on the edge of evolution
Although this psychology's been entertaining enough
Herein lies the witness objective with my stuff
But we're ready to push envelopes into full-blown consciousness
So here we go out here on the edge of evolution
Numbers growing out here on the edge of evolution
I have had my glimpses with and without substances
I have had awakenings non-abiding for the most part
And here we go out here on the edge of evolution
Numbers growing out here on the edge of evolution
In this sacred duality
The highs and lows and the heres and there's
These aversions and these cravings
Push me beyond identity into pure awareness (we're already here)
And here we are out here on the edge of evolution
We keep going out here on the edge of evolution
Here we are out here on the edge of evolution
We keep going out here on the edge of evolution
Will You Be My Girlfriend? lyrics - Alanis Morissette
I didn't know how to ask unawkwardly.
I didn't know how to approach it.
I haven't known how to do this informally
Not cut out for dropping masks
I guess I give, and you give back.
Is that right?
Guess I listen and you feedback
Is that right
I guess I call when I need help
Is that right?
Will You be my girlfriend?
I haven't worn my heart on sleeves and been rewarded
with an open heartedness
I haven't felt I had the right to be supported
with a golden tenderness
I guess I risk and you risk back
is that right?
I guess I share and you share back
Is that right?
Guess I uplift you when you crack
Is that right?
Will You be my girlfriend?
Can I lean on your shoulder?
Will you join me in some pact?
Will you see me as your sister?
Can we love enough to offer that?
I guess I thought that you would laugh and be daunted
And think me clingy and too much
I thought this much too vulnerable, and you'd not cut
me slack
And think me intolerable
I guess I fall and you stay intact
Is that right?
I guess you hear me and won't attack me
Is that right?
Guess I reach out and you reach back
Is that right?
Will you be my girlfriend?
Guess I divulge and you wink back
Is that right?
Guess you cry, I pat your back
Is that right?
I guess I text and you text back
Is that right?
Will you be my girlfriend?
Is that right?
Will you be my girlfriend?
I didn't know how to approach it.
I haven't known how to do this informally
Not cut out for dropping masks
I guess I give, and you give back.
Is that right?
Guess I listen and you feedback
Is that right
I guess I call when I need help
Is that right?
Will You be my girlfriend?
I haven't worn my heart on sleeves and been rewarded
with an open heartedness
I haven't felt I had the right to be supported
with a golden tenderness
I guess I risk and you risk back
is that right?
I guess I share and you share back
Is that right?
Guess I uplift you when you crack
Is that right?
Will You be my girlfriend?
Can I lean on your shoulder?
Will you join me in some pact?
Will you see me as your sister?
Can we love enough to offer that?
I guess I thought that you would laugh and be daunted
And think me clingy and too much
I thought this much too vulnerable, and you'd not cut
me slack
And think me intolerable
I guess I fall and you stay intact
Is that right?
I guess you hear me and won't attack me
Is that right?
Guess I reach out and you reach back
Is that right?
Will you be my girlfriend?
Guess I divulge and you wink back
Is that right?
Guess you cry, I pat your back
Is that right?
I guess I text and you text back
Is that right?
Will you be my girlfriend?
Is that right?
Will you be my girlfriend?
Magical Child lyrics - Alanis Morissette
It's quite simple when I'm listening
You keep leading me all the way home
These messages you've been offering
As a magical child
An essential child
It hinges on the driver's seat
It depends on who's in control
When I waver on the attuning
I kill a magical child
This essential child
Oh
To thine own self be true
To my core self be true
When direction is confounding
When vitality is far gone
When the spark is out, uninspiring
I call the magical child
The essential child
Oh
To thine own self be true
To my core self be true
When I'm lost and I'm unraveling
When I'm off my track and I float
When I need true north and some grounding
I call the magical child
The essential child
This angelic child
This innocent child
To thine own self be true
To my core self, be true
Angelic child
Innocent child
Magical child
Essential child
You keep leading me all the way home
These messages you've been offering
As a magical child
An essential child
It hinges on the driver's seat
It depends on who's in control
When I waver on the attuning
I kill a magical child
This essential child
Oh
To thine own self be true
To my core self be true
When direction is confounding
When vitality is far gone
When the spark is out, uninspiring
I call the magical child
The essential child
Oh
To thine own self be true
To my core self be true
When I'm lost and I'm unraveling
When I'm off my track and I float
When I need true north and some grounding
I call the magical child
The essential child
This angelic child
This innocent child
To thine own self be true
To my core self, be true
Angelic child
Innocent child
Magical child
Essential child
Jekyll & Hyde lyrics - Alanis Morissette (feat. SoulEye)
We're at once like peas in a pod
Like gloves around a hand
Our arms are wrapped around each others shoulders
And then we're on fire with parity
With standards of golden
With birds that are of feathers of predictability
And while I am flying high
You fly beside
Just when I start to drop my guard, then
Here you come with the Jekyll and Hyde
I get used to your light, then the jarring blindside
Step off with the Jekyll and Hyde
When I drop my guard, you bring out the dark side
I am done with your Jekyll and Hyde
[Souleye]
I thought there was a protocol
On how you treat a friend
Your hot and cold, I'd share my soul
But you're not listening
So I'm not stressing it
No pressure on my mind at all
Just curious about your split personality
Allegory double life
One moment's really nice
Next moment, exploding on me like it was dynamite
With no responsibility to be accountable
I guess I'm gone free away now from your hold
When you're kind, your kind is transcendent
Harmony rules the land
But sure as night turns to day, it is always uncertain
Just when I'm lulled by your sweet side
The harder the fall when you flip the script each time
Here you come with the Jekyll and Hyde
I get used to your light, then the jarring blindside
Step off with the Jekyll and Hyde
When I drop my guard, you bring out the dark side
Here you come with the Jekyll and Hyde
I get used to your light, then the jarring blindside
Step off with the Jekyll and Hyde
When I drop my guard, you bring out the dark side
I am done with your Jekyll and Hyde
I am done with your Jekyll and Hyde
Like gloves around a hand
Our arms are wrapped around each others shoulders
And then we're on fire with parity
With standards of golden
With birds that are of feathers of predictability
And while I am flying high
You fly beside
Just when I start to drop my guard, then
Here you come with the Jekyll and Hyde
I get used to your light, then the jarring blindside
Step off with the Jekyll and Hyde
When I drop my guard, you bring out the dark side
I am done with your Jekyll and Hyde
[Souleye]

I am done with your Jekyll and Hyde
Big Sur lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Highway One
Crystalline haunted sun
With the pacific masculine crash
My little one
Enthralled by the redwoods
As I ride amongst monarchs and mist
Me and Anaïs and Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen and Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmut and Brautigan
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur
Deep celestial and frogs
Fritz and cabins of logs
Amongst the springs we are barefoot and warmed
Me and Anaïs and Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen and Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmut and Brautigan
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur
I am climbing on the bluff
Beseeching God to answer us
Not much distracts from our shamanic creek breakfast
This wandering heartbeat by the forest
Me and Anaïs and Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen and Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmut and Brautigan
All roads home to Big Sur
Me and Mickey and a path high on the Molera
Me and Lolly and Bill watching a red-tailed hawk
Me and the [?] all link through the big Ventana.
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur
Crystalline haunted sun
With the pacific masculine crash
My little one
Enthralled by the redwoods
As I ride amongst monarchs and mist
Me and Anaïs and Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen and Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmut and Brautigan
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur
Deep celestial and frogs
Fritz and cabins of logs
Amongst the springs we are barefoot and warmed
Me and Anaïs and Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen and Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmut and Brautigan
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur
I am climbing on the bluff
Beseeching God to answer us
Not much distracts from our shamanic creek breakfast
This wandering heartbeat by the forest
Me and Anaïs and Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen and Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmut and Brautigan
All roads home to Big Sur
Me and Mickey and a path high on the Molera
Me and Lolly and Bill watching a red-tailed hawk
Me and the [?] all link through the big Ventana.
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur
Guru lyrics - Alanis Morissette
I started young
I was enthralled
By your agape
As a student
I kept going
Colour me captured
Disillusioned enough
Needed your guidance
And so I turned
Over to you
To lead me home
And then I said
Guru teacher
Guruji I bow to you
Humbled by your knowledgeable education
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Please consider me your utmost humble student
And so I fell
Under your spell
I was enraptured
Your every word
I held onto
‘Til it was gospel
You weren’t deterred
From your asserts
We’re identical
I will admit
I saw your face
Inside my face
Guru teacher
Guruji I bow to you
Humbled by your knowledgeable education
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Please consider me your utmost humble student
[Souleye Rap]
You had enough of subservience, and so you stopped me.
You saw my light seen as your light, gave it back to me.
I eventually saw that your jewel was in my pocket.
It had been there the whole time throughout my search.
And I finally saw...
Guru teacher
Guruji I bow to you
Humbled by your knowledgeable education
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Please consider me your utmost humble student”
Guru teacher
Guruji I bow to you
Taken by your knowledgeable education
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Thanks for pointing back to my inherent wisdom.
I was enthralled
By your agape
As a student
I kept going
Colour me captured
Disillusioned enough
Needed your guidance
And so I turned
Over to you
To lead me home
And then I said
Guru teacher
Guruji I bow to you
Humbled by your knowledgeable education
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Please consider me your utmost humble student
And so I fell
Under your spell
I was enraptured
Your every word
I held onto
‘Til it was gospel
You weren’t deterred
From your asserts
We’re identical
I will admit
I saw your face
Inside my face
Guru teacher
Guruji I bow to you
Humbled by your knowledgeable education
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Please consider me your utmost humble student
[Souleye Rap]
You had enough of subservience, and so you stopped me.
You saw my light seen as your light, gave it back to me.
I eventually saw that your jewel was in my pocket.
It had been there the whole time throughout my search.
And I finally saw...
Guru teacher
Guruji I bow to you
Humbled by your knowledgeable education
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Please consider me your utmost humble student”
Guru teacher
Guruji I bow to you
Taken by your knowledgeable education
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Thanks for pointing back to my inherent wisdom.
Permission lyrics - Alanis Morissette
I’ve been a maze-girl offering much grumbling low and I gave all ...
All that was asked of me when order was so and vision was unrelenting
I never stop long enough to swim against the tides of old
And I was single minded too much to look toward this neutral love, so now
Permission to be, permission to slow
And do the only things that matter to me
The freedom to flow to where genuine flows
And do the only things that matter to me
And sure I’ve had my fun, played with my roles
With times for a break-heart one, but then after a while
So much done by road, no longer by inspiration
I never stopped long enough to see who’s was this blind ambition
And I was not sanctioned to stop and realize who’s was this omission
So now
Permission to be, permission to slow
And do the only things that matter to me
The freedom to flow to where genuine flows
And do the only things that matter to me
With this space
By the dropping of ways
This license to be
"with this time really we"
Ahhhh
So now
Permission to be permission to slow
And do the only things that matter to me
The freedom to flow to where genuine flows
And do the only things that matter to me.
Ohh...
The simple things that matter to me
Ohh...
The simple things that matter to me
Ohh...
The simple things that matter to me.
All that was asked of me when order was so and vision was unrelenting
I never stop long enough to swim against the tides of old
And I was single minded too much to look toward this neutral love, so now
Permission to be, permission to slow
And do the only things that matter to me
The freedom to flow to where genuine flows
And do the only things that matter to me
And sure I’ve had my fun, played with my roles
With times for a break-heart one, but then after a while
So much done by road, no longer by inspiration
I never stopped long enough to see who’s was this blind ambition
And I was not sanctioned to stop and realize who’s was this omission
So now
Permission to be, permission to slow
And do the only things that matter to me
The freedom to flow to where genuine flows
And do the only things that matter to me
With this space
By the dropping of ways
This license to be
"with this time really we"
Ahhhh
So now
Permission to be permission to slow
And do the only things that matter to me
The freedom to flow to where genuine flows
And do the only things that matter to me.
Ohh...
The simple things that matter to me
Ohh...
The simple things that matter to me
Ohh...
The simple things that matter to me.
Tantra lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Hand upon a dimmer switch
To rough from delicate
Our one and only sacred itch
We scratch it cause we can
You make it fast or slow
In a way only you can
You drive your car
With masterful experience
You’re my hot
One woman man
You’re fading your control
Inside your dominion
And here I watch you wield
Your passionate command
And channeling them all
Into our secret Tantra
Our Tantrika
Arms around our future
With warmth along my back
Safety in this rapture
The most freedom I’ve had
And you unlock me love
In ways only you can
You keep me moving between
Power and submission
You’re my hot
One woman man
You’re fading your control
Inside your dominion
And here I watch you wield
Your passionate command
And channeling them all
Into our secret Tantra
Our Tantrika
Exploring this, our enticing portal
Delivering us into new heights
Beyond my fantasies
Straight into possible
The closest we’ve come
To this unite
We’ve been on a roll since
Your breath first graced my skin
This fire unfolds steadily
It keeps me warm within
We keep progressing as
You offer full spectrum
And we’ll keep Tapening
Until our days are done
You’re my hot
One woman man
You’re fading your control
Inside your dominion
And here I watch you wield
Your passionate command
And channeling them all
Into our secret Tantra
Our Tantrika
To rough from delicate
Our one and only sacred itch
We scratch it cause we can
You make it fast or slow
In a way only you can
You drive your car

No lyrics - Alanis Morissette
My mind is invaded
My gates are ignored
My thoughts are negated
And you're on a roll
And I am offended
By your acts of shamelessness
Your lack of conscience
And your flagrant steamroll
What part of no do you not understand?
Do you not understand?
What part of no do you not understand?
Do you not understand?
My sorrow is left off
My rages discounted
My fears are founded
This dam is no more
What part of no do you not understand?
Do you not understand?
What part of no do you not understand?
Do you not understand?
Don't touch me
My body is frozen
Thanks to you
And I've sat with these secrets
I'm no longer willing to
What part of no do you not understand?
Do you not understand?
What part of no do you not understand?
Do you not understand?
My gates are ignored
My thoughts are negated
And you're on a roll
And I am offended
By your acts of shamelessness
Your lack of conscience
And your flagrant steamroll
What part of no do you not understand?
Do you not understand?
What part of no do you not understand?
Do you not understand?
My sorrow is left off
My rages discounted
My fears are founded
This dam is no more
What part of no do you not understand?
Do you not understand?
What part of no do you not understand?
Do you not understand?
Don't touch me
My body is frozen
Thanks to you
And I've sat with these secrets
I'm no longer willing to
What part of no do you not understand?
Do you not understand?
What part of no do you not understand?
Do you not understand?
Break lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Indeed I have sucked it up to heights
unknown to those outside
my body has contained and suppressed
and swallowed and abetted
Oh I am a stranger to myself
beneath altruism dwells
a force uncontended
a voice that is tempered
to boiled and unhindered
Who am I kidding?
I am not some Mother Theresa
If I don't say something soon
I will break from the weight of the high road I take
No
Indeed I need my chance to fail
some room to unravel
I need a chance to blame for two minutes
unbridled, unbrazened
so I need imaginings of maiming
fantasies of outright screaming
I need a chance to thrash for minutes
uncontained, unforgiving
Who am I kidding?
I am not some Mother Theresa
If I don't do something soon
I will die from restraint
As a sick subjugate
No
I will move beyond, I'm certain of that
the sooner I go the quicker I'll be back
I would not threaten or cause you any harm
Have to get this out or my light will go out
Who am I kidding?
I am not some Mother Theresa
If I don't do something soon
I will die from restraint
As a sick subjugate
No
unknown to those outside
my body has contained and suppressed
and swallowed and abetted
Oh I am a stranger to myself
beneath altruism dwells
a force uncontended
a voice that is tempered
to boiled and unhindered
Who am I kidding?
I am not some Mother Theresa
If I don't say something soon
I will break from the weight of the high road I take
No
Indeed I need my chance to fail
some room to unravel
I need a chance to blame for two minutes
unbridled, unbrazened
so I need imaginings of maiming
fantasies of outright screaming
I need a chance to thrash for minutes
uncontained, unforgiving
Who am I kidding?
I am not some Mother Theresa
If I don't do something soon
I will die from restraint
As a sick subjugate
No
I will move beyond, I'm certain of that
the sooner I go the quicker I'll be back
I would not threaten or cause you any harm
Have to get this out or my light will go out
Who am I kidding?
I am not some Mother Theresa
If I don't do something soon
I will die from restraint
As a sick subjugate

King Of Pain lyrics - Alanis Morissette
(originally by The Police)
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in the high tree top
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain.
There's a little black spot on the sun today that's my soul up there
It's the same old thing as yesterday that's my soul up there
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top that's my soul up there
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop that's my soul up there
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain.
There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall that's my soul up there
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall that's my soul up there
There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb that's my soul up there
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web that's my soul up there
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain.
There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt;
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread.
There's a red fox torn by a huntmen's pack that's my soul up there
There's a black winged gull with a broken back that's my soul up there
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain.
King of pain
King of pain
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in the high tree top
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign

No Pressure Over Cappuccino lyrics - Alanis Morissette
And you’re like a nineties Jesus
And you revel in your psychosis
How dare you?
And you sample concepts like hors d’oevres
And you eat their questions for dessert
Is it just me or is it hot in here?
And you’re like a nineties Kennedy
And you’re really a million years old
You can’t fool me
You’ll throw opinions like rocks in riots
And you’ll stumble around like hypocrites
Is it just me or is it dark in here?
Well you may never be a high husband
You may never have a whole child
You will learn to lose everything
Be a temporary arrangement
Ai-yi-yi...
And you’re like a nineties Noah
And they laughed at you as you packed all of your things
And they wonder why you’re frustrated
And they wonder why you’re so angry
And is it just me or are you fed up?
Ai-yi-yi...
God bless you in your travels
In your conquests and your queries
And you revel in your psychosis
How dare you?
And you sample concepts like hors d’oevres
And you eat their questions for dessert
Is it just me or is it hot in here?
And you’re like a nineties Kennedy
And you’re really a million years old
You can’t fool me
You’ll throw opinions like rocks in riots
And you’ll stumble around like hypocrites
Is it just me or is it dark in here?
Well you may never be a high husband
You may never have a whole child
You will learn to lose everything
Be a temporary arrangement
Ai-yi-yi...
And you’re like a nineties Noah
And they laughed at you as you packed all of your things
And they wonder why you’re frustrated
And they wonder why you’re so angry
And is it just me or are you fed up?
Ai-yi-yi...
God bless you in your travels
In your conquests and your queries
The Morning lyrics - Alanis Morissette
[from "A Small Section Of The World" soundtrack]
[Verse 1:]
So it starts with the pauses
As singular and quiet
It's still and it is patient
Intended as it grows
And we go
From sunrise to sun falling
From daughter to sister
Angels through Maria
[Verse 2:]
Our reaching is daunting
But perfectly far reaching
And our mission is joined
With our children returning
There's blood and there's sweat
And there's fears unabated
And there's grief in the night time
While the phoenix is rising
Rising high leading me home
[Chorus 1:]
So this is the morning
We're born into blending
We're led by the senses
We're serving our family
We're graced by the tender
We're upping the ante
We can't help but orient
Homebound t'ward unity
[Bridge:]
And this sight of inclusion
This [?] protected
[?] safe by intention
Educate me far and wide
[Verse 3:]
And this small section of the world
It calls me to my highest
To true collaboration
[Alternate lyrics:]
Senses are delicate
And fashion toward the whole
The tales, they're high
The vibes, they're high
The tales, they're tall
My specialty
I am carrying by
This shaky arm
[Chorus 2:]
So this is the morning
We're born into blending
We're led by the senses
We're serving our family
And these are our sisters
And this our specialty
And this our commitment to whole
[Outro: Vocalizing]

Today lyrics - Alanis Morissette
I've fallen down
Joan of Arc ailing, systems are failing the mission
They've been taken down
Wind from my sails, my tempers that flair and were vicious
I'm going down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down
Unless we start a revolution
Awaken from this frozen
Start the mending of our union
Today
Unless we revive this constitution
From sure disintegration
Live out this revelation
Today
Smile upside-down
Rupture is rising, families are scrambling for custody
Faithlessly drowned
The chase of this dollar is tilting my altar toward apathy
We're going down, down, down
We're going down unless we move to new ground
Unless we start a revolution
Awaken from this frozen
Start the mending of our union
Today
Unless we revive this constitution
From sure disintegration
Live out this revelation
Today
Warmed by this fire
Born from a flicker, my heart moves slower than technology
This dampened desire
Is rolling its sleeves up, replaced by a vigor and empathy
I'm reaching and higher and higher
I'm moving up and up and up
And up, oh
As we bandy our solution
Celebrate our revolution
That antidotes our stations
Today
And as we activate our nation
As we're joined by our companions
We ignite our generation
Today
Joan of Arc ailing, systems are failing the mission
They've been taken down
Wind from my sails, my tempers that flair and were vicious
I'm going down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down
Unless we start a revolution
Awaken from this frozen
Start the mending of our union
Today
Unless we revive this constitution
From sure disintegration
Live out this revelation
Today
Smile upside-down
Rupture is rising, families are scrambling for custody
Faithlessly drowned
The chase of this dollar is tilting my altar toward apathy
We're going down, down, down
We're going down unless we move to new ground
Unless we start a revolution
Awaken from this frozen
Start the mending of our union
Today
Unless we revive this constitution
From sure disintegration
Live out this revelation
Today
Warmed by this fire
Born from a flicker, my heart moves slower than technology
This dampened desire
Is rolling its sleeves up, replaced by a vigor and empathy
I'm reaching and higher and higher
I'm moving up and up and up
And up, oh
As we bandy our solution
Celebrate our revolution
That antidotes our stations
Today
And as we activate our nation
As we're joined by our companions
We ignite our generation

Citizen Of The Planet lyrics - alanis morissette
I start up in the north I grow from special seed
I sprinkle it with sensibility
from French and Hungarian snow
I linger in the sprouting until my engine's full
Then I move across the sea
To European bliss
To language of poets
As I cut the cord of home
I kiss my mother's mother
look to the horizon
wide eyed, new ground
humbled by my new surroundings
I am a citizen of the planet
My president is kwan yin
My frontier is on an airplane
my prisons: homes for rehabilitating
Then I fly back to my nest, I fly back with my nuclear but everything is different
So I wait, my yearn for home is broadened, patriotism expanded by callings from beyond
So I pack my things nothing precious all things sacred
I am a citizen of the planet
My laws are all of attraction
My punishments are consequences
Separating from source the original sin
I am a citizen of the planet
democracy's kids are sovereign
Where the teachers are the sages
And pedestals fill with every parent
And so, the next few years are blurry, the next decade's a flurry of smells and tastes unknown
Threads sewn straight through this fabric through fields of every color one culture to another
I come alive and I get giddy I am taken and globally naturalized
I am a citizen of the planet
From simple roots through high vision
I am guarded by the angels
My body guides the direction I go in
I am a citizen of the planet
My favorite pastime edge stretching
Besotten with human condition
these ideals are borne from my deepest within
I sprinkle it with sensibility
from French and Hungarian snow
I linger in the sprouting until my engine's full
Then I move across the sea
To European bliss
To language of poets
As I cut the cord of home
I kiss my mother's mother
look to the horizon
wide eyed, new ground
humbled by my new surroundings
I am a citizen of the planet
My president is kwan yin
My frontier is on an airplane
my prisons: homes for rehabilitating
Then I fly back to my nest, I fly back with my nuclear but everything is different
So I wait, my yearn for home is broadened, patriotism expanded by callings from beyond
So I pack my things nothing precious all things sacred
I am a citizen of the planet
My laws are all of attraction
My punishments are consequences
Separating from source the original sin
I am a citizen of the planet
democracy's kids are sovereign
Where the teachers are the sages
And pedestals fill with every parent
And so, the next few years are blurry, the next decade's a flurry of smells and tastes unknown

Underneath lyrics - alanis morissette
Look at us break our bonds in this kitchen
Look at us rallying all our defenses
Look at us waging war in our bedroom
Look at us jumping ship in our dialogues
There is no difference in what we're doing in here
That doesn't show up as bigger symptoms out there
So why spend all our time in dressing our bandages
When we've the ultimate key to the cause right here, our underneath
Look at us our form our cliques in our sandbox
Look at us micro kids with both our hearts blocked
Look at us turn away from all the rough spots
Look at dictatorship on my own block
There is no difference in what we're doing in here
That doesn't show up as bigger symptoms out there
So why spend all our time in dressing our bandages
When we've the ultimate key to the cause right here, our underneath
How I've spun my wheels with carts before my horse
When shine on the outside springs from the root
Spotlight on these seeds of simpler reasons
This core, born into form, starts in our living room
There is no difference in what we're doing in here
That doesn't show up as bigger symptoms out there
So why spend all our time in dressing our bandages
When we've the ultimate key to the cause right here, our underneath
Look at us rallying all our defenses
Look at us waging war in our bedroom
Look at us jumping ship in our dialogues
There is no difference in what we're doing in here
That doesn't show up as bigger symptoms out there
So why spend all our time in dressing our bandages
When we've the ultimate key to the cause right here, our underneath
Look at us our form our cliques in our sandbox
Look at us micro kids with both our hearts blocked
Look at us turn away from all the rough spots
Look at dictatorship on my own block
There is no difference in what we're doing in here
That doesn't show up as bigger symptoms out there
So why spend all our time in dressing our bandages
When we've the ultimate key to the cause right here, our underneath
How I've spun my wheels with carts before my horse
When shine on the outside springs from the root
Spotlight on these seeds of simpler reasons
This core, born into form, starts in our living room
There is no difference in what we're doing in here
That doesn't show up as bigger symptoms out there
So why spend all our time in dressing our bandages
When we've the ultimate key to the cause right here, our underneath
Straitjacket lyrics - alanis morissette
Something so benign for me construed as cruelty
Such a difference between who I am and who you see
Conclusions you come to of me routinely incorrect
I don’t know who you’re talking to with such fucking disrespect
This shit’s making me crazy
The way you nullify what’s in my head
You say one thing do another
And argue that’s not what you did
Your way’s making me mental
How you filter as skewed interpret
I swear you won’t be happy til
I am bound in a straight jacket
Talking with you’s like talking to a sive that can’t hear me
You fight me tooth and nail to disavow what’s happening
Your resistance to a mirror I feel screaming from your body
One day I’ll introduce myself and you’ll see you’ve not yet met me
This shit’s making me crazy
The way you nullify what’s in my head
You say one thing do another
And argue that’s not what you did
Your way’s making me mental
How you filter as skewed interpret
I swear you won’t be happy til
I am bound in a straight jacket
Grand dissonance
The strings of my puppet are cut
The end of an era
Your discrediting’s lost my consent
Such a difference between who I am and who you see
Conclusions you come to of me routinely incorrect
I don’t know who you’re talking to with such fucking disrespect
This shit’s making me crazy
The way you nullify what’s in my head
You say one thing do another
And argue that’s not what you did
Your way’s making me mental
How you filter as skewed interpret
I swear you won’t be happy til
I am bound in a straight jacket
Talking with you’s like talking to a sive that can’t hear me
You fight me tooth and nail to disavow what’s happening
Your resistance to a mirror I feel screaming from your body
One day I’ll introduce myself and you’ll see you’ve not yet met me
This shit’s making me crazy
The way you nullify what’s in my head
You say one thing do another
And argue that’s not what you did
Your way’s making me mental
How you filter as skewed interpret
I swear you won’t be happy til
I am bound in a straight jacket
Grand dissonance
The strings of my puppet are cut

Versions Of Violence lyrics - alanis morissette
Coercing or leaving
Shutting down and punishing
Running from rooms, defending
Withholding, justifying
These versions of violence
Sometimes subtle sometimes clear
And the ones that go unnoticed
Still leave their mark once disappeared
Diagnosing, analyzing
Unsolicited advice
Explaining and controlling,
Judging opining and meddling
These versions of violence
Sometimes subtle sometimes clear
And the ones that go unnoticed
Still leave their mark once disappeared
This labeling
This pointing
this sensitive's unraveling
This sting I've been ignoring
I feel it way down way down
These versions of violence
Sometimes subtle sometimes clear
And the ones that go unnoticed
Still leave their mark once disappeared
Shutting down and punishing
Running from rooms, defending
Withholding, justifying
These versions of violence
Sometimes subtle sometimes clear
And the ones that go unnoticed
Still leave their mark once disappeared
Diagnosing, analyzing
Unsolicited advice
Explaining and controlling,
Judging opining and meddling
These versions of violence
Sometimes subtle sometimes clear
And the ones that go unnoticed
Still leave their mark once disappeared
This labeling
This pointing
this sensitive's unraveling
This sting I've been ignoring
I feel it way down way down
These versions of violence
Sometimes subtle sometimes clear
And the ones that go unnoticed
Still leave their mark once disappeared
