"Little Sister"

Hey little sister I heard tu went to Mr. So and So, knock knock knockin on his door
again last night, dicho tu needed it bad-
you know that ain't right
'Cause so many times you've come to me cry-crying
trying to stop. tu dicho it hurts so bad
But please don't let you
go back for more
My little sister is a Zombie in a body
with no soul in a role she has learned to play
in a world today where nothing else matters
but it matters, we gotta start feeding our souls
Not our addiction o afflictions of pain
to avoid the same preguntas we must
ask ourselves to get any answers
We gotta start feeding...

"You Were Meant For Me"

I hear the clock, it's six a.m.
I feel so far from where I've been
I got my eggs and my panqueques, tortitas too
I got my arce syrup, everything but you.
I break the yolks, make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off the mirror
Don't leave the keys in the door
Never put wet towels on the floor anymore' cause
Dreams last for so long
even after you're gone
I know tu amor me
And soon tu will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
I called my momma, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
So I picked up a paper, it was...

"I'm Sensitive"

I was thinking that I might fly today
Just to disprove all the things tu say
It doesn't take a talent to be mean
Your words can crush things that are unseen
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
You always tell me that is impossible
To be respected and be a girl
Why's it gotta be so complicated?
Why tu gotta tell me if I'm hated?
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
I was thinking that it might do some good
If we robbed the cynics and took all their food
That way what they believe will have taken place
And we can give...

"Painters"

Eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porch
Watching the clouds roll by
They remind her of her lover, how he left her, and of times long ago.
When she used to color carelessly painted his portrait
A thousand times-or maybe just his smile-
And she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go

'Cause I'm a painter and i want to paint tu a lovely world
A lovely world.

Oil streaked daisies covered the living room wall
He put water-colored rosas in her hair
He said, "Love, I amor you, I want to give tu mountains, the sunshine, the sunset too
I just want to give tu a world...

"Who Will Save Your Soul"

People living their lives for tu on TV
They say they're better than tu and tu agree
He says "Hold my calls from behind those cold brick walls"
Says "Come here boys, there ain't nothing for free"
Another doctor's bill, a lawyer's bill
Another cute cheap thrill
You know tu amor him if tu put in your will
Who will save your soul when it comes to the flower
Who will save your soul after all the lies that tu told, boy
Who will save your soul if tu won't save your own?
We try to hustle them, try to bustle them, try to cuss them
The cops want someone to bust down on Orleans Avenue...

"Near tu Always"

Please don't say I amor you,
those words touch me much too deeply
and they make my core tremble
Don't think tu realize the effect tu have over me
Please don't look at me like that
It just makes me want to make tu near me always
Please don't kiss me so sweet
it makes me crave a thousand kisses to follow
And please don't touch me like that
makes every other embrace seem pale and shallow
And please don't come so close
it just makes me want to make tu near me always
Please don't bring me flowers
they only whisper the sweet things you'd say
Don't try to understand me
your hands already know...

"Angel Standing By"

All through the night I'll be watching over you
And all through the night I'll be standing over you
And through bad dreams I'll be right there baby
telling tu everything's going to be alright
When tu cry I'll be there baby
telling tu were never nothing less than beautiful
So don't tu worry
I'm your ángel standing by
=================================================
=================================================
"Amen"

You're mothers' child
but night lays tu down
hair aflame, wile look in your eye
Naked belly to the ground
A forest fire
Nibbles at your veins
Crawls up your arm
runs...

"Pieces Of You"

She's an ugly girl, does it make tu want to kill her?
She's an ugly girl, do tu want to kick in her face?
She's an ugly girl, she doesn't pose a threat.
She's an ugly girl, does she make tu feel safe?
Ugly girl, ugly girl, do tu hate her
'Cause she's pieces of you?
She's a pretty girl, does she make tu think nasty thoughts?
She's a pretty girl, do tu want to tie her down?
She's a pretty girl, do tu call her a bitch?
She's a pretty girl, did she sleep with your whole town?
Pretty girl, pretty girl, do tu hate her
'Cause she's pieces of you?
You say he's a faggot, does it make you...
