I read the crime lists online Now I know to avoid the bank and post office lines When I - when I walk out the door I’ve just got sure that I’m Not gonna die So I plan all my trips in the middle of day Sure that I’ll never be carjacked that way Some say I’m paranoid, some say I’m mad It’s better to be reclusive than dead I will not be pistol whipped No I will not be pistol whipped I’m running the red lights I’m rollin’ through stop signs I’m locking the doors ‘Cause that creepy guy walked by But I will not be pistol whipped A new epidemic they say Since they’ve banned DDT They can’t keep them away They are - they’re too tiny to see Once they get in your sheets They jump and they bite and they stay So I don’t stay in motels, in hotels, in beds I’ll sleep all alone in the bathtub instead Some say it’s not really that big a deal But I’d rather not have my blood be a meal I will not get bed bug bites No, I will not get bed bug bites I’m tearing the sheets off I’m checking for dark spots I’m slathered in bugspray My eyes are all bloodshot But I will not get bed bug bites At least I’m not irrational yet I have no fear of numbers or plants or Wednesdays And I will not be scared to death No, I will not be scared to death But I’m nauseous and sick And I can’t take a breath I suspect botulism I think this might be it…

There was a princess fierce and brave Big brown eyes and a pretty name Hair that shimmered like a pot of gold Every night when she closed her eyes Her drowsy self got a big surprise Sneaky little fox came scuttling into her dream She said I am so fierce and brave I am not scared of anything So why must I be afraid of you, you, you, you, you There was a fox so wild and sly Bushy tailed and shifty eyed Fur as rusty red as the little pig's house Every night in his cozy den The same old nightmare will begin A pretty princess chases him in his dream He says I am so wild and sly Tell me then why can't I hide She pulls my tail and makes me cry Oh why, why, why She leaves her castle He leaves his cozy den They stop in the middle And then they... Stare at each other, they Stare at each other, they Stare at each other, they Stare at each other Till it gets really awkward And then they both laugh and say I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid Anymore Sometimes friendship can look odd A picnic on the castle lawn The princess and the fox sitting the sun

When the winds blow strong and cold, and cold I will lift my soul, lift my soul I will set my sail to follow you When the winds blow strong and cold When the waves rise high over me, over me I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes I will see your feet on the stormy sea When the waves rise over me I won’t I won’t I won’t be afraid I won’t I won’t When the winds blow When the night is long and dark, and dark You will light the sky, light the sky With mercy, love and wisdom bright When the night is long and dark When my breath is done and gone, and gone I will rest my soul, rest my soul The tempest broken by your voice When my breath is done and gone I won’t I won’t I won’t be afraid I won’t I won’t When the winds blow
41.	White And Blue (2010) 03:09	lyrics	buy track
Watching, waiting, time is frozen As the snow begins to fall Hold me, wrap me up Surround me with your love Inside this calm And the world glows white and blue In the warmth of me and you Moonlit silence, on the outside All is still and bright Heart beats louder on the inside Of my chest, your hand in mine And the world glows white and blue In the warmth of me and you Hush now, hush now Quietly the winds blow over Us now, us now Wordlessly this love takes over And the world glows white and blue In the warmth of me and you
42.	You Don't Know Me (2009) 03:44	lyrics	buy track
Guilty American Signing your check and dropping it in With a stamp and a letter just send it on over but You don't know me Tuck them all in their beds at night Kiss each cheek turn out the life You think there's a better life Well you don't know me Oh, you don't know me Oh, you don't know me Sunday preacher man Saying it's easy to trade it all in He will forgive my sins But you don't me Oh people spreading my word Loving your neighbor with the end of a sword Your law is a flag and a song but you don't know me Oh, you don't know me Oh, you don't know me Standing in the picket lines You don't know me Holding my cardboard sign You don't know me 14 in Africa You don't know me Can't marry who I love You don't know me Single mom working 50 hours You don't know me Been married 50 years You don't know me Went to Iraq and bled You don't know me I've risen from the dead You don't know me Oh, you don't know me Oh, you don't know me
43.	Your Side Of The Bed (2009) 03:02	lyrics	buy track
Your side of the bed Perfect indentation Heavy from your frame From the dreams inside your head Lying next to me A different expectation A thousand miles away From me, on the other side I can’t close my eyes You can’t see my side You’ll sleep, keeping the peace And I’ll be right here, ready to fight You fall, you fall Farther away from me You’ll sleep keeping the peace And I will wait here, ready to fight You wait it out from your side You fall You fall You fall Farther and farther and You fall You fall Farther away from me You’ll sleep, keeping the peace And I’ll be right here, ready to fight You fall, you fall Farther away from me You’ll sleep keeping the peace And I will wait here, ready to fight You wait it out … Your side of the bed Different expectations A thousand miles away From me, on the other side
