Sheryl Crow Globe Sessions Lyrics
1.Am I Getting Through Part I & Ii

Part i:
I am strong
I am able
I spill milk on your table
Then i crawl like a baby
Just to see if you save me

I am sweet
I am ugly
I am mean if you love me
I try hard just to please you
When i say i don't need you

I dress up with a conscience
When i think you'll be watching
I say all the right things
I don't know what i mean

Am i
Am i
Getting through
Am i
Am i
Getting through

I am ignorant and rude
I am fashionably crude
And sometimes when it's quiet
I'm an angel in white

When i pose in the mirror
I want everyone near me
I am scared that i'm weird
I'm afraid i am queer

I am lovely and weak
I am foul when i speak
I am strange when i'm kind
I am frying my mind

Am i
Am i
Getting through
Am i
Am i
Getting through
(i don't care, i don't care)

Jesus loves me i know
For my mom told me so
I'm a loser at love
I'm a flower in the mud

Am i
Am i
Getting through
Am i
Am i
Getting through
Am i
Am i
Getting through

Part ii:
Don't you hate it
When the money starts to running out
Your esoteric rants
Were made to twist and shout
I heard you moved
Now you're hangin on the moulin rouge
Don't you know no matter where you go
Somebody's always watching you
That's what they say
That's what they say
When the pages fade the love you made
Will seem one hundred light years away

(sheryl crow)


2.Anything But Down

I light your cigarettes
I bring you apples from the vine
How quickly you forget
I run the bath and pour the wine
I bring you everything that floats into your mind

But you don't bring me anything but down
You don't bring me anything but down
You don't bring me anything but down
When you come 'round

You are a raging sea
I pull myself out everyday
I plea insanity
Cause i can't leave but i can't stay
You say, won't you come find me and yes is what i say

You don't bring me anything but down
You don't bring me anything but down
Everything is crashing to the ground
Maybe i'm not your perfect kind
Maybe i'm not what you had in mind
Maybe we're just killing time

You with your silky words
And your eyes of green and blue
You with your steel beliefs
That don't match anything you do
It was so much easier before you became you

You don't bring me anything but down
You don't bring me anything but down
Everything just crashes to the ground
When you come around
When you come around

No more playing seek and hide
No more long and wasted nights
Can't you make it easy on yourself

I know you wish you were strong
You wish you were never wrong
Well, i got some wishes of my own

(sheryl crow)


3.Crash And Burn

I watched the sun come up on portland
I waved goodbye to all my friends
I packed my car and headed to la
I gave away all my loose ends

Somebody said you gotta get away
To wanna go back home again
I left my universe standing there
Holding the hand of my best friend

And it's laughter that i feel when i think of you
It's one more dusty rose about to turn
I'll see you when i reach new mexico
If i'm in the mood to crash and burn

I wrote a letter that i never mailed
I rehearsed a dialogue in my head
In case you ever wanted to track me down
I'll take mycell phone to bed

And it's laughter that i hear when i close my eyes
And it's one more punchline i forgot to learn
I call you up when my bottle's dry
I'm on my way to crash and burn

Antigone laid across the road
And let a mack truck leave her there for dead
Just because her lover split the scene
Well love might be great but why lose your head

Well, it's laughter that comes up when i cry for you
And my heart may break again before it learns
And i might be stupid enough to want to fall again
Cause i've gotten use to the crash and burn
I say i've gotten use to the crash and burn

(sheryl crow/jeff trott)


4.It Don't Hurt

it don't hurt like it did.
I can sing my song again.
It don't hurt like it did.
I can sing my song again.

I scraped the paper off the wall.
I put down carpet in the hall.
I left no trace of you at all.
And i can sing my song again.

I don't dream 'cuz i don't sleep.
The moon is hanging like your hat.
The sun comes up, well i don't see
Curtains tied up like a bat.

The electric man looks good today.
Maybe not, well i'm trying hard.
Trying hard to feel that way,
The electric man's a good place to start.

Took your paintings off the wall.
That one of me that you called doll.
I added on 'cuz the house was feeling small.
Now i can sing my song again.

I don't think of you no more
Except for everyday or two.
I don't think of you no more
Except for in between the sun and moon.

Packed up and moved out after all.
Bulldozed the house and watched it fall.
That blessed sight i still recall
I can sing my song again
I can sing my song again

It don't hurt like it did, it hurts worse.
Who do i kid?

(sheryl crow/jeff trott)


5.Maybe That's Something

We lay around just like gurus
In borrowed robes
And talk about nothing
Well maybe that's something
Maybe that's something

You stretch out across a long long table
Without hesitation
You say, 'i'm willing and able.'

Maybe that's something
Maybe that's one thing more than i've seen
Maybe that's something more than nothing.

You say good, i say you should, will you be there?
Making miracles is hard work,
Most people give up before they happen.

Maybe that's something
Maybe that's one thing more than i've seen
Maybe that's something more than nothing,
More than nothing, more than nothing.

Maybe that's something
Maybe that's one thing more than i've seen
Maybe that's something more than nothing
More than nothing, more than nothing, more than nothing.

(sheryl crow/jeff trott)


6.Members Only

Uncle larry's hooked on ice again
He seems to be stuck in the 80's
He wears his members only jacket
Cause he thinks it turns on all the ladies

And all the white folks shake their asses
Looking for the two and four
I'll have mine in martini glasses
Cause i can't take it anymore

These are the days of empty kitchens
The rise and fall of mary ellen's hairdo
I think she's found a new religion
Studying the kabalah in her j.crew

And all the rich kids shake their asses
Looking for the two and four
Well i'll have mine with blackstrap molasses
Cause i can't taste it anymore
No i can't taste it anymore

My friend gregg says it's all good
As the eastern seaboard's blown away
Now everything is going half-price
So look at all the money we saved

And all the politicians shake their asses
Looking for the backdoor
I'll just be hanging out with the lasses
Cause they don't like the boys no more
No and i can't take it anymore

(sheryl crow)


7.Mississippi

Every step of the way
We walk the line
Your days are numbered
So are mine

Time is piling up
We struggle and we scrape
All boxed in
Nowhere to escape

The city's just a jungle
More games to play
I'm trapped in the heart of it
Trying to get away

I was raised in the country
Been working in the town
I been in trouble since i
Set my suitcase down

I ain't got nothing for you
I had nothing before
Don't even have anything
For myself anymore

Sky's full of fire
And the rain is pouring down
There's nothing you can sell me
So i'll see you around

All my powers of expression
And thoughts so sublime
Could never do you justice
Reason or rhyme
There's only one thing that i did wrong
I stayed in mississippi a day too long

The devil's in the alley, the mule kickin' in the stall
Say anything you wanna, i've heard it all
I was thinking about the things that she said
I was dreaming i was sleeping in you bed

Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees
Feel like a stranger nobody sees
So many things we never will undo
I know you're sorry, well i'm sorry too

Some people will offer you their hand and some won't
Last night i knew you, tonight i don't
I need something strong to distract my mind
I'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blind

Well i got here, following the southern star
I crossed that river just to be where you are
There's only one thing that i did wrong
I stayed in mississippi a day too long

Well my ship's been split to splinters; it's sinking fast
I'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past
But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free
I've got nothing but affection for those who've sailed with me

Everybody's moving if they ain't already there
Everybody's got to move somewhere
Well stick with me baby anyhow
Things should start to get interesting right about now

My clothes are wet, tight on my skin
Not as tight as the corner that i painted myself in
I know that fortune is waiting to be kind
So give me your hand and say you'll be mine

The emptiness is endless, cold as clay
You can always come back, but you can't come back all the way
Well there's only one thing that i did wrong
I stayed in mississippi a day too long
Yeah the only thing that i did wrong
Was stayed in mississippi a day too long
The only thing that i did wrong
Was stayed in mississippi a day too long

(bob dylan)


8.My Favorite Mistake

I woke up and called this morning
The tone of your voice was a warning
That you don't care for me anymore

I made up the bed we sleep in
I looked at the clock when you creep in
It's 6 a.m. and i'm alone

Did you know when you go
It's the perfect ending
To the bad day i was just beginning
When you go all i know is
You're my favorite mistake

Well, your friends are sorry for me
They watch you pretend to adore me
But i'm no fool to this game

Now here comes your secret lover
She'd be unlike any other
Until your guilt goes up in flames

Did you know when you go
It's the perfect ending
To the bad day i've gotten used to spending
When you go all i know is
You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake

Well maybe nothin' lasts forever
Even when you stay together
I don't need forever after
It's your laughter won't let me go
So i'm holding on this way

Did you know, could you tell
You were the only one
That i ever loved
Now everything's so wrong

Did you see me walking by?
Did it ever make you cry?

You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake

(sheryl crow/jeff trott)


9.Riverwide

I spent a year in the mouth of a whale
With a flame and a book of signs.
You'll never know how hard i've failed
Trying to make up for lost time.

Once i believed in things unseen
I was blinded by the dark.
Out of the multitude to me
He came and broke my heart.

When the dust in the field has flown,
And the youngest of hearts has grown,
And you doubt you will ever be free,
Don't bail on me.

River is wide and oh so deep
And it winds and winds around.
I dream we're happy in my sleep
Floating down and down and down.

And the tide rushes by where we stand,
And the earth underneath turns to sand,
And we're waiting for someone to see,
Don't bail on me.

Tell ma i loved the man
Even though i turned and ran.
Lovely and fine i could have been
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
Staying down in the palm of his hand.

In the morning you wait for the sun,
And secretly hope it won't come,
But time washes everyone clean,
Honey now, don't bail on me.
Don't bail on me.
Don't bail on me.

(sheryl crow)


10.There Goes The Neighborhood

Hey let's party, let's get down, let's turn the radio on,
This is the meltdown.
Get out the camera, take a picture,
The drag queens and the freaks
Are all out on the town.
And cowboy jane's in bed
Nursing a swollen head.

Sunshine sally and peter ustanov
Don't like the scene anyhow.
I dropped acid on a saturday night
Just to see what the fuss was about.
Now there goes the neighborhood.

The photo chick made to look sickly
Is standing in her panties in the shower.
She plays the guitar in the bathroom
While the police dust her mother's plastic flowers.
And schooboy john's in jail
Making a killing through the u.s. mail.

Sunshine sally and peter ustanov
Don't like the scene anyhow.
I dropped acid on a saturday night
Just to see what the fuss was about.
There goes the neighborhood.
There goes the neighborhood.

This is the movie of the screenplay of the book about a girl who
meets a junkie.
The messenger gets shot down just for carrying the message to a
flunky.
We can't be certain who the villains are 'cuz everyone's so
pretty
But the afterparty's sure to be a wing-ding as it moves into
your city.

Sunshine sally and peter ustanov
Don't like the scene anyhow.
I dropped acid on a saturday night
Just to see what the stink was about.
Sunshine sally and peter ustanov
Don't like the scene anyhow.
I dropped acid on a saturday night
Just to see what the fuss was about.
There goes the neighborhood.
There goes the neighborhood.

(sheryl crow/jeff trott)


11.The Difficult Kind

I think i was wrong
I think you were right
All my angry words
Will keep me up at night
Through the old screen door
I still hear you say
Honey won't you stop
Treating me that way

If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then i'd no longer be in your mind
The difficult kind
Cause babe i've changed

Tell it to me slow
Tell me with your eyes
If anyone should know
How to let it slide
I swear i can see you
Coming up the drive
There ain't nothing like regret
To remind you you're alive

If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then i'd no longer be in your mind
The difficult kind
Cause babe i've changed

I crossed the canyon a thousand times
But never noticed what was mine
What you'll remember of me tonight
Well, it almost makes me cry
Yeah, it almost makes me cry

Oh ballbreaking moon and ridiculing stars
The older i get, the closer you are
Don't you have somewhere that you need to be
Instead of hanging here making a fool of me

If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then i'd no longer be in your mind
The difficult kind
But you won't see the change in me
If you could only see
What love has made of me
But i'll forever be in your mind
The difficult kind
But you won't see, no you won't see
The good in me
But babe i've changed
Cause babe i've changed
