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
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
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 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
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.

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
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

Exploring this, our enticing portal
Delivering us into new heights

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?
