I have to hope, I have to hope
We’ll have something to feel good about again
We’ve gone too far, it’s gone too far
Is there no one who can turn around the end?
We’re out of time
Are we out of time?
Is there nothing left to dream about ahead
I want to live, I want to live
But I’m living in a world that’s left for dead
We’ve killed our God
Or is God killing us?
I need to see those plans
God I really need to see those plans
I will believe
I’ll still believe
That there’s something to feel good about ahead
If I loved you
Could I love you?
Is that something to feel good about?
Is that something to feel good about?
I need something to feel good about
Again

Rich for a Rabbit

Rich for a rabbit
And poor for a prince
We choose our habits
As we choose our friends
Reach for a carrot
But you’re not convinced
And the one who holds it
Pokes you with a stick
And those who would hurt you
And those who desert you
Tripping you up as you walk toward the door
If you’re good for nothing
Then nothing’s good
Why bother living
You got what you could
But I’ve learned my lesson
I’ve changed my mind
I ask forgiveness
All the time
And everyone hurts you
And then they desert you
Winding the hands on the clock back to two
And those who could love you
And those up above you
Open the door as you walk toward the truth

There was a time I lived here
No place to stay
Standing in between the days
For every door that opens
One more remains
I’ll think about it some other day
I’ll think about it some other day
You had a mind to open
A heart of clay
It had to find a shape to take
You’ll never know the ocean
Inside the wave
So thing about it some other way
And in your mind
Two halves combine
One looking forward
While the other’s left behind
Is there a knock to answer
A call to hear
Is there no truth inside the tears
You’ll never know who loves you
While you hide away
And keep believing in another day
So think about it some other way

Miracle Mittens
02:07

Do you believe that you’ve got a will
In every choice you make?
Then I’m living under different laws
And fate I can’t escape
The miracle mittens won’t let go
They got a hand in me
I’m making things I’ve never made believe
My fears are living across the street
They look me in the eye
Coincidence I can’t believe
I turn away and hide
I can’t talk about about it
Don’t want to talk about it
I won’t talk about it
My heart has got me on a tight leash
Can’t even leave the block
I’d die before the sun hit twelve o’clock
And if you’re living across the street
Don’t look me in the eye
I’ll curse the name of lost beliefs
That never let you die
I can’t talk about about it
Don’t want to talk about it
I won’t talk about it

We were walking
We were talking
Down on Onion Street
We were moving
We were grooving
Down on Onion Street
We were singing
We were swinging
Down on Onion Street
I still remember how it was before
When every house would have an open door
I made a promise when I went away
That we’d be back here one day
And we’ll be walking
We’ll be talking
Down on Onion Street

I Don't Need Anyone
02:19

Looking through the classifieds
Don’t need a job, I need a place to hide
Where I’m going no one wants to know
I only need a few minutes away
Another hour and a couple more days
New Years I’ll celebrate alone
Because I don’t need anyone
I never was a popular kid
Wanted to go where no one did
Through the empty hospital I roamed
I had to find a few minutes away
Another hour and a couple more days
Till the local cops would drag me home
Because I didn’t like, I didn’t want
And I didn’t need
Anyone
If you think you’re gonna crack the shell
You build a wall you better build it well
Do I have to say that I’m not home?
It’s just that I don’t want, I don’t got
And I don’t need
Anyone

I was wrong, I know
When I tried to help you so
You could turn all my words back on me
Now I’ve made my bed
And I have to sleep in it
Through the pain, and the fog, and the heat
Are you really gonna twist the words that I say
I tried to give you my heart but you threw it away
Now I hear what I wrote
From some Joe I don’t even know
And I watch as my town turns on me
While they stand around you
None of them know the things I do
And they don’t give a damn if it’s true
Are you really gonna break my heart to my face
They got you living like a dumb dog eating their waste
Now you’ve made your bed
And you have to sleep in it
And I hope you don’t sleep through your days
Life goes on
I’ll be gone
That’s okay

Asterisk*

Oh, if I were an asterisk
A notation to remember this event
To remind you what it meant
Small blemish on a spotless sheet
Long footnote underneath a larger tent
Then we’ll burn it down again
So come on and miss me
I want you to miss me
Like I miss myself
Like I miss myself
Soul, living in another time
They told history made a note between the lines
That a part of me had died
So come on and miss me
I want you to miss me
Like I miss myself
Like I miss myself
Like I miss my one whole self

I wake up spinning while I roll downhill
There’s a headache in a bottle by the windowsill
The cat leaves the kitchen while I stay in bed
There’s a cold wind blowing through my head
I still like you
I want a chance
I’d still like to be your friend
We sit in conversation all our lives
With the devil and the angel on the left and right
You can’t let go even when it burns
So you watch your mouth in case the words return
I still like you
I want a chance
I’d still like to be your friend

Birdie is wonderful. I practically pray every night that 2021 (or 2022?) could have a series of shows in the UK and Europe where it's a Dolly Mixture reunion with Birdie as the delightful opening act. Also, it should be a publicly announced and well-promoted tour!! Please???
