1.Nothing Personal
Once upon a summer's dream
You and i were walking oh so sweetly
Love was stronger than your fear seemed to be
Ah ha
Hand in hand you walked me home
Spent the night
We kissed goodbye at morning
I waited by the phone
For you to call me
You said
Now don't take this personally
Some things just aren't meant to be
It's not you, but it's just not me
Nothing personal - ah ha
Nothing personal - ah ha
Nothing personal - ah ha
It happens
Just an ordinary day
Got the flowers
And the card you sent with i love you
I threw them both away
And then i won the lottery
But don't take this personally
Some things just aren't meant to be
It's not you, but it's just not me
Nothing personal - ah ha
Nothing personal - ah ha
Nothing personal - ah ha
Some you win and some you lose
Some you're given and some you choose
It's not if you're good or if you're bad
If jesus loves you
Or god got mad
Nothing personal
Don't take this personally
Some things just aren't meant to be
It's not you, but it's just not me
Nothing personal - ah ha
Nothing personal - ah ha
Nothing personal - ah ha
It happens
It happens
2.Where Were You
Maybe the sun will rise at midnight
And maybe the moon will fall in the sea
And maybe the stars will burn out like candles
And maybe you'll keep your promise to me
I wasn't looking for all your tomorrows
And i never dreamed of eternity
And i never asked for this ring around my finger
But that was the promise that you made to me
So where were you when i reached for you last night
Where were you a thousand nights before
I know you say you love me
I know you say you want me
But it's not true
Cause what you say
Is not what you do
Look me in the eyes and tell me
Let me see your heart and i will know the truth
Where were you when i fell down on my knees
Where were you when i needed someone there
I know you say you love me
I know you say you want me
But it's not true
Cause what you say
Is not what you do
Now i know the sun will rise tomorrow
And i know the moon will fill tonight's sky
And i know the stars will burn bright as candles
And i know you want to give us one more try
And i know i will
When i see pigs fly
3.Manifest Destiny
She wants you
She needs you
She will never let it show
And even though she'd die for you
She will never let you know
And the way that she wants
Is the way that she wants
And she can't give it away
The heart, the heart
Will take what it wants
The mind has nothing to say
He wants you
He needs you
He will never let you see
And even though he runs from you
He will never let you free
The way that he wants
Is the way that he wants
And he can't give it away
The heart, the heart
Will take what it wants
The mind has nothing to say
Oh i can want and you can want
And just try to throw it away
But it's all the manifest destiny
The hands the hands will never hold you
Unless you give your heart away
You take a step and then you're falling
Better take his hands and fly away
Oh so high away
Can you fly away
And the way that you want
Is the way that you want
And you can't give it away
The heart, the heart
Will take what it wants
The mind has nothing to say
Oh i can want and you can want
And just try to throw it away
But it's all the manifest destiny
You think you can walk away, but i know the truth
4.Hands
It is morning now
And he is there beside you
But it's different somehow
Was last night a big mistake
But his eyes were so
Kind of heaven like
And he was better than he could ever be
And his hands
16 years in the making
My broken heart
What was yours for the taking
Well you took it alright,
You wore it and then you just
You tore it all apart
With your eyes so
Kind of heaven like
When you were better than you could ever be
And your hands
You said you'd hold me, love me
Never let me go
And i believed
Everything i wanted
All i thought that i should know
You'd give to me
But now the dawn is breaking
I see it's light
And i wonder where you'll stay tonight
Will your eyes be so
Kind of heaven like
Will you be better than you could ever be
I guess the story's ending
Soon you'll awake
Sweet phoenix when you rise
What direction will you take
With your eyes are so
Kind of heaven like
Be better than you could ever be
With me - take my hand
Take my hand - take it - and hold me - love me
- don't ever let me go
5.Full Moon On An Empty Heart '99
It was a full moon on an empty heart
A spring fever out of season
He was the perfect rhyme
I had no reason to match
Too easy a hunter
Too eager a catch
And it was
A high tide when you're feeling low
I knew he would teach me
What i had to know i don't defend how it ended
I knew it would right from the start
But see a full moon - an empty heart
Call it temporary insanity
Primal lust in the first degree
It was who i was
And who i wanted to be
Little girl lost - no matter the cost
Full moon and an empty heart
The mystique of martinique
That tropical tension
What you moan in the darkness
Not mention in the light
Two wrongs for each other
Trying to make one right
A stop light that was flashing go, go
I knew he would teach me
What i wanted so badly to know
I don't defend how it ended
I knew it would right from the start
But see - a full moon on an empty heart
A full full moon on and empty heart
A full full moon - on an empty heart
6.A Prayer For Madeleine '99
Madeleine shines in the darkness
Some think she's a beacon to the way
She wants for nothing
Her touch is golden
That's what people say
Madeleine's eyes are a brilliant blue
Some think it's a scandal the way she sees
No fear, no pain
Just fortune and fame
That's what they believe
But say a prayer for madeleine
Lonely heart at sea
Caught between the one she is
And who she wants to be
Say a prayer for madeleine
Perfection born
A need without a cause
A rose without a thorn
Madeleine once loved a sailor
A deceiver believer lady's man
Her heart was open but so quickly stolen
She couldn't understand
Madeline lost the sailor
On a peaceful evening opal tide
His charms were plenty
But she'd be just one of too many
So she took her heart to hide
But say a prayer for madeleine
Lonely heart at sea
Caught between the one she is
And who she wants to be
Say a prayer for madeleine
In perfection born
A need without a cause
A rose without a thorn
Her touch is velvet
The air is fragrant
Her voice is laughter
Happily ever after
But all alone there's
No kindred heart
She wants to belong
She stands apart
But say a prayer for madeleine etc
7.Mary's Song
Meet me in the dark
And touch me, touch me
Teach me all the things that i'm not to know
I will leave my childhood
The maiden's armor
Just give me the things that i'm not to know
Hold me in your arms and feel me, heal me
I am all desire wrapped up in need
I have just one chance
Then my future's frozen
Touch me with your heart
And make me bleed
There beneath the moonlight
Seered within his own sight
With this touch i just might
Be ready for my task
Guardian of all virtue
They would blush
But i do not
Choices are few
For all salvation bought
This i know
It was done
Before my birth
We were one
They would not understand
Lifting up the veil
There is no hope of winning
And no right to fail
Meet me in the dark
And reach me, teach me
Everything i need to understand
And if i cry
Well you have not hurt me
It's all that i must do
For the love of man
8.Made To Order
Doe-eyed, delicious
Sated and vicious
Classic and trendy
Versace'd and fendi'd
Petite , so tall
Lion -maned, bald
Matted, dewy
Hard tack and chewy
There's a girl on the corner
I saw in the mirror
She's a vision of someone else
That should have been clearer
Just a polaroid bambi
Caught in headlights of fashion
She is in today
But she is next season's has-been
A cultural canvas for critical fodder
A woman today
Made to order
She learned as a young girl
Everywhere all around her
She'd be lost and so alone
Til the in fashion found her
With a mind of her making
That's what somebody told her
And she'll make her way
Down the road that they've showed her
Perpetual mattress- she'll never gets older
A woman today
Made to order
Made to order
Simple is sexy
Outrageous is in
You take the razor the laser
To the child that's within
It's tits up, lips pout
Filled in, sucked out
Graded and shaded
Anorexic, inflated
Made to order
And it's oh so lyrical
Don't go changing, no don't go changing
To thine own self be critical
I'll love you just the way you aren't
If your look is your statement
Well it'll do all your talking
Perched high on stilettos
Will just keep you from walking
But get into the ranks and
Cross the wannabe border
If it's all you can be
Then be made to order
Where simple is sexy
Outrageous is in
Take the laser and razor
To the child that's within
It's tits up, lips pout
Filled in , sucked out
Graded, shaded
Anorexic, inflated
Made to order
Doe-eyed, delicious
Sated and vicious
Classic and trendy
Versace'd and fendi'd
Petite , so tall
Lion -maned, bald
Matted and dewy
Hard tack and chewy
9.Vincent
Vincent came to my window
He watched me as i undressed
I could tell he liked what he saw
Yeah, he was impressed
A little while later
There's a knock on my door
Found a bouquet of roses
Wrapped in silk upon the floor
And deep in the petals
A note by his hand
Asking what could he say to me
To make me understand
(i said) look, all it takes
Put the truth in the promise you make
Just don't tell me you love me
If it's not how you feel
I don't want your empty promises
Tell me what is real
Really
Vincent took me to dinner
A walk on the beach
Falling stars shimmered and burst
In waves upon upon our feet
He said he would love me
Yeah he'd never leave
He placed the heel of his hand on my heart
And said i must believe
I said - look all it takes
Put the truth in the promise you make
Just don 't tell me you love me
If it's not how you feel
I don't want your empty promises
Tell me what is real
You've got this misconception
I don't have needs
Our bodies work in the same direction
So ask me - please
And then it's up to me i guess
It could be no
But it might be - yeah, yeah, yeah
Yes
Don't tell me don't tell me
No don't tell me
No no no no no no no
Don't tell me you love me
If it's not how you feel
I don't want your empty promises
Tell me what is real
There's no price you could offer
That would buy you my bed
I don't want your empty promises
Say what's in your heart
And in your head
I went to vincent's window
I watched him undress
I could tell he liked that alot
And i was impresse
10.Amazing
With just one look at you my whole life changed
I didn't know that i could feel
After all the years of loneliness and pain
Love is real
My heart escaped me - you caught it midair
And you didn't let me fall
I slept beside you through the good and despair
Mistakes and all
Do you remember the night that i awoke
To find you watching silently
You told me you didn't want to sleep
For in sleep you would be too far from me
That's amazing
With just a look from you,
A touch, i come undone
There's no protection for my soul
I barely recognize the woman i've become
You made me see the best in me
Amazing - amazing
I guess i'll love you until the day i die
But there are worse things i could feel
After all the years loneliness and pain
Love is real
I may not understand just how we fell apart
I've wished a galaxy away
But if this were the last moment of my life
I'd still have to say
In every way
Amazing
Amazing
Amazing
11.Two Feet Firmly Off The Ground
Written：karen lehner
Produced：joel bell
I have scars would break your heart
Seen others so much worse
Been the bottom of the list
When i needed to be first
But still i keep believing
In the goodness to be found
That's why you find me standing
Two feet firmly off the ground
I have heard the rage and anger
The ridicule and blame
The judging of another
That's made in holy name
But what's the use of knowledge
If no hope can be found
You will hear a new voice
Two feet firmly off the ground
Reach higher - dream
It is only as dark as the shadow makes it seem
And darkest shadow's cast by a light
Love is the truth of the heart
Love is the one place to start
I claim no understanding
No wisdom to explain
The evil that seems random
And hides in holy game
Wise despair will get you no where
Hopeful wisdom will astound
Come and take your stand here
Two feet firmly off the ground
Reach higher - dream
It is only as dark as shadow makes it seem
And darkest shadow's cast by a light
If you can see it then you can believe it
Just know in your heart
That you're meant to receive it
Love is the truth of the heart
12.Circus Man
Ladies i require your attention
Before you step into his parlor like a fly
Your sweet innocence has filled me with
A cold apprehension
I don't want to hear your heart break and cry
If you can learn from the lessons of another
Then i pray, i pray that you will learn from mine
I was once like you - content
That is until i met
The muscle man that caught me with this line
He said,'hey baby, i'm a circus man,
If you know what i mean.
Yeah, baby i'm a circus man.
I'll take you higher than your wildest dreams.'
Well i guess i should have run away right then
But then he smiled at me and gently took my hand
And he was wearin' those tights
Ya know, that fit him just right
And i could measure how this evenin' might end
And then he took me to his place
Beneath the moonlight
And he wrapped his arms around me just so
Then i was wearin' this thing
Ya know with a couple of rings
And he was sayin' 'baby, now i'll never let you go.
Oh no, cause i'm a circus man....'
So he took me to his loft, his little play ground
And he pulled me close beside him, just us two
I thought, 'how kinky can you get,
I mean he's even got a net.'
And i was wond'rin' what he wanted me to do
I'm ashamed i guess to tell you all what happened
I was a victim of desire then and there
He had me hangin' from my knees
I was beggin' 'baby, baby please!'
Next thing i know i'm makin' circles in the air
Right there for my circus man
If you know what i mean
Oh yeah he's a circus man
He'll take you higher than your wildest dreams
Look, my mama never told me it could be like this
Yeah, i never ever heard her say
That all the muscles men develop
They can keep so stiff
That you just can't pull away
Hey, it's literally impossible
I'd like to tell you that i kept
Some sort of distance
That i was never just a play things for his charms
But then he said that word
Hep was all i heard
And i let go and i flew into his arms
The arms of a circus man...
Now, i admit that i was happy there beneath him
In fact, i never felt so satisfied so fine
But when he started to let go
I wasn't ready and i said,'no!'
But he said, 'sorry, there's another girl in line.'
And as he pulled away i tumbled, tumbled downward
I felt so cheated but i really could not blame
For i know deep in my mind
Hey, a hard man's good to find
But it's something that they never can sustain
Not even a circus man, if you know what i mean
Oh yeah, he's a circus man
Who'll take you higher than your wildest dreams
And i've met some circus men
And made them my circus men
And all of those circus men
Took me higher than my wildest dreams
