Holding Back
Another sunny day
everything's ok
you're like a river flowing baby
you always get your way hey yeah
Well here comes the rain
yeah here it comes again
where the hell are we going baby
are we already there? Well yeah yeah
Don't want to own it
or control it
just want to hold it
so promise me that you won't be holding back
oh yeah
Don't want to own you
or control you
just want to hold you
so promise me that you won't be holding back
oh yeah
Are you holding back?
Are you holding back?
Are you holding back?
Are you holding back?
Well don't hold back!

Stuff my face with love
she did a back-flip into my heart
and I don't know if I can carry her
weight on my shoulder
and I don't know if I can carry her
weight on my shoulder
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
she's swinging from pole to pole
I'm waiting for her to jump into my soul
And lying on me now
I've forgotten just how
and it hurts if you don't do it right
It keeps me up at night
It keep me up at night
It keeps me up...
get a grip on me
get a grip on me
get a grip on me
stuff my face with love
stuff my face with love
stuff my face with love

Otto's Town

After dark it's a touching and a feeling
soothing pains of a wheeling and dealing
broken scraps of skin a-peeling
broken scraps of yesterday's mealing
black is, black is
black is, black is
just what he wears
he's always there
scrounge, scrounge, scrounge
don't look around
it's Otto's town.
You hide away you don't show your face
You've got time to burn, you've got time to waste
You hide away you don't show your face
You've got time to burn, you've got time to waste
scrounge, scrounge, scrounge
don't look around
it's Otto's town.
Our pain, our despair
even our, futile affairs
well I say yes, yes, yes, yes
yes, yes, yes, yes
he's always there
(except on tuesdays!)
scrounge, scrounge, scrounge
don't look around
it's Otto's town.

Shifting Sands

I need to turn down the dial
and head north for a while
But it seems such a pity
to be leaving the city
I think i'll drive another mile
to acceptance from denial
and she seems to pretty
to be alone in the city
please don't say
I like it better this way
'cause I'll never understand
we draw our lines in shifting sands
we just do the best we can
on shifting sands
shifting sands
please don't say
I like it better this way
please don't say
I like it better this way
on shifting sands
shifting sands
I need to turn down the dial
and head north for a while
