Never Be My Baby
03:32

I've got a feeling that I'll never be lonely
While you're in my head
And if I'll never be your one and only
A boy can dream instead
Knowing you know is good enough for me, baby
So I won't even try
And while you hold him I'll be kissing the shadows
And chase the stars in the sky
No, you'll never be my baby
Oh no, you'll never be my baby
Oh yeah
In his apartment over there by the window
I think of taking a chance
(I think I might take a chance)
I practice asking you to go to a disco
But I don't know how to dance
(I don't know how to dance)
If I could show you everything I've been dreaming
Then you would understand
My friends say if I had more self-esteem
Then you might take my hand
(Come on and take my hand)
No, you'll never be my baby
Oh no, you'll never be my baby
Oh yeah
I keep on hoping that you'll turn to me, babe
And I wait for the day
I close my eyes and it's a guarantee, so
I won't wish it away
No (no), you'll never be my baby
Ooh no, you'll never be my baby
Oh yeah
No (no), you'll never be my baby
Ooh no, you'll never be my baby
Oh yeah
You'll never be my baby
It's ok
You'll never be my baby
It's ok
You'll never be my baby

Clone You

Cloning you and making two
Would really be the thing to do
They give you one, but I say "boo"
And with your clone I'll start anew
I'll clone you
Let me clone you, please?
I'll clone you
Let me clone you, please?
I'll enter in a science fair
To show you just how much I care
I'll only need a piece of hair
I'll get it from that hat you wear
I'll clone you
Let me clone you, please?
I'll clone you
Let me clone you, please?
Give me another chance
A fresh start at romance
I'll even learn to dance
You'll see...
A second shot, another try
To leave our old mistakes behind
And with your clone I hope I'll find
A way to make some ties that bind
I'll clone you
Let me clone you, please?
I'll clone you
Let me clone you, please?
I'll clone you
Let me clone you, please?
I'll clone you
Let me clone you, please?
A carbon copy
Just the very same
A science-y sort of scene
Come on...
Don't be lame

Back To River City
05:41
|

|
Harold makes the gravel groan
In old Camelot Estates
He lights up a cigarette
In his pick-up truck while he waits
Marion hops in with their bags
She says "babe, I didn't think you'd show"
He just sighs: "now buckle up,"
And they go
They're headed nowhere
On interstate eighty tonight
And now he won't dare
To tell her it'll be alright
Cause she's hip to his bullshit
She knows the trouble that they're in
So this'll be the last time she rides with him
She got swept up in the sound
Of invisible trombones
And if you push she might admit
That she was sick of being alone
So when he flashed that silver smile
She could feel the buckle in her knees
Said "get me out of River City, please?"
So he drove her nowhere
Hustling from town to town
At first she was scared
But soon she learned her way around
That rusty stick-shift
And she'd take the wheel while he slept
And and think of little River City…
And wish she'd never left
Staring down the highway
While he's sleeping by her side
The star-speckled night sky
Expanding while she drives
She's gotta leave him
She's gotta get back home
Cause if love is being his accomplice
She'd rather be alone
She pulls in at a mobile station
Whispers, "babe you just wait right there"
He stirs a little in his sleep
When she gently kisses his hair
Gets her bag out from the back
She don't even close the door
She's not worried about him getting cold
Anymore
She's headed nowhere
But it sure beats where she's been
She's used her best prayers
To get her out of life with him
And if he's going down
She'll be damned if he takes her too
So she's thumbin' it back to River City
Say goodbye to Marion You-Know-Who
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye

My diorama
My diorama
Here in my diorama
I set a place for you
Tiny chairs, tiny table
Tiny plates of food
And you don't have to stay
If you don't want to
You know I get along fine
Just a' runnin' on my own
I made myself a house
And then I made it a home
And I can live, I can live, I can live
I can live, I can live, I can live
My diora...my diorama
My diora...my diorama
You know I
My diora...my diorama
Inside my
My diora...my diorama

Inside my
Ah!
Here in my diorama
Inside my tiny bed
I get inside this shoebox
To get outside my head
Because the other stuff I do
It might leave me dead
You know I get along fine
Just a' livin' on my own
I made myself a house
And then I made it a home
And I can live, I can live, I can live
Oh baby baby I can live, I can live, I can live
My diora...my diorama
My diora...my diorama
My diora...my diorama

Eternity

I can save you
I can set you free
I can make you whole
If you stay with me
You think I'm crazy
I can see it in your eyes
But I know what happens to us
When we die
I've felt his love
You'll feel it too
I've seen the light
I can show it to you
I won't leave you hanging
Up there on the cross
All you have to do is accept that you're lost
My days are solitary
My nighttime too
I'm never lonely long as
He is working through me
And I just can't bear to watch you
Suffering in sin
So leave this all behind
And then we can begin
God bless you now
Oh, let's join hands
I weep for all of my
Fellow man
We won't leave you hanging
Up there on the cross
All you have to do is admit that you're lost
Our love was nothing more than
Sins of the flesh
But as fallen angels go
I'd rate you with the best of them
So now I want to love you
In a new way
Fall to your knees with me
And baby, let's pray
I have been saved
I'll save you too
I've seen the light
I can show it to you
I repeat my prayer
Again and again
Forever, and ever
Amen
Amen

Lifeguard

You don't really care 'bout me
Ignore me constantly
Your tan, your car, the sea
Well never get married
Something's wrong
It's your new job
I'm only out here
Making waves
Since you became a lifeguard
Pinning you down's been awfully hard
I know you've got lives to save so
Rescue me, come back and be my baby
When Susie almost drowned
I was nowhere to be found
I thought we could make a start
But then you learned C.P.R.
Something's wrong
It won't be long
Before you get your
Scuba license
Since you became a lifeguard
Pinning you down's been awfully hard
I know you've got lives to save so
Rescue me, come back and be my baby
When summer's at an end
You won't have any friends
I'll be here on land
To wean you off the sand
When seasons change
We'll rearrange
And in a year
I will share
You with the ocean
Since you became a lifeguard
Pinning you down's been awfully hard
I know you've got lives to save so
Rescue me, come back and be my baby

Famous

Oh my goodness
There are just so many people I want to thank
So many people that have helped me along the way
I just don't know where to start
If you don't let me break your heart
Then, babe, I'll never be a star
If I stay right here where you are
I'll only make it just as far
I'll never be famous
I'll never be famous
I'll never be famous
If I'm in love with you
When you kissed me in the rain
You said: "we'll never be the same
If we have love, then who needs fame?"
I said: "that's just fucking insane"
I wanna be famous
I wanna be famous
I wanna be famous
I'm not in love with you
When I'm with you
The whole world melts away
That may be true
But how could I ever stay...
When you're not famous?
It's been 3 years since I left you
I had some shots but then I blew them
I still don't live in Malibu
Everything you said was true
I'll never be famous
I'll never be famous
I'll never be famous
I'm still in love with you
I'll never be famous
I'll never be famous
I'll never be famous
I'm still in love with you
I'll never be famous
I'll never be famous
I'll never be famous
I'm still in love with you

Ghosts Without Saying
03:22

Sitting around, nothing to do
You stare at the screen while I stare at you
I say "hey, let's go for a walk?"
You say "sure"
But you don't wanna talk
Ghosts without saying
It's so nice to stay inside
Let's hold our breath to stay alive
I say "hey, let's go for a walk?"
You say "sure"
But you don't wanna talk
Ghosts without saying
Is it today or yesterday?
I checked when I woke up
Tomorrow's here before it's dark
Now I'm all mixed up
Sitting around, nothing to do
You stare at the screen while I stare at you
I say "hey, let's go for a walk?"
You say "sure"
But you don't wanna talk
It ghosts without saying
Ghosts without saying
It ghosts without saying

Brian Michael Henry New York, New York
Brian Michael Henry's music examines the humanity of monsters atop pulsing layers of cold electronic production that call to mind both John Carpenter’s signature synth scores and modern darkwave artists like Cold Cave in equal measure. Henry’s vocals, however, are a baritone croon and lend a notable warmth to each song, creating a more three-dimensional portrait of his characters.. ... more
