Alex got her name because her father wished her born a son
A fancy name for a flighty girl
Now flight of fancy
runs amok on everyone
Daddy took advantage of the situation
He waited seven years with great expectations
And if they had a crown they'd hold a daily coronation<

All of my young life
Learning to crawl
All of my young life
Climbing your wall
All of my young life
A face in the mall
All of my young life
Nothing at all

I have some friends they treat me okay
They smoke cigarettes and they never get laid
They know that

he wakes up on a wednesday morning
he can't remember tuesday's mirth
he barely keeps himself from yawning
makes his bed for what that's worth
he likes to use vocabulary
his bank account a state of "dearth"
the neighbors they all say he's touched
dropped him on his hea

Under the water, under the water
It's clearer than you think
Under the water, make me an offer
Confessions I can drink
I don't need to talk to him
I forgive myself (he's forgiven me) for everything he's done
In the gentle tides of lovers
Like the inside of a mother

Here in hell's hammock just thinking up deviltry
Planet-wide panic's a hat that's so old
I'd rather write about her in my diary
Could she be mine without selling her soul
Dirty deeds from a demon seed
Don't excite me anymore
Is there one girl
Just one girl who says

Ask a little girl if she wants a piece of candy
And you'll find yourself in front of a lynch mob or a jury
And they'll read the riot act along with your Miranda warning
And no one's come to bail you out
And it's already morning

CHORUS
But you've got to chalk it up to pa

God
I'd love to hear your thoughts
On sinners you have caught
And what about the ones who got away
Where are they today
You see them everywhere
And they don't care
And if we all seem terrified
IT's just because we are
We're fragile
Don't let us down too ha

Take a seat beside me but don't looke me in the eye
That way you won't have to ask and I won't have to lie
And you're doing your best not to understand
There's nothing I have you can hold in your hand
And I'm thinking maybe you just shouldn't cry
So much waiting
I can't s

We spent the day just talking
Consumed by small town wanderlust
You know it got me thinking
THere's so few people I can trust
And you say I have been naive
That one day everybody leaves
Well now I've got some last request

CHORUS
I just want to pull your rickshaw

I don't remember much about you
I was barely seven when Mom came home without you
But I knew right then
Life was changing fast
I don't know why I remember these things
Your pipe tobacco and the pinch of a bee sting
Entwined together in a memory long passed

CHORUS

The girl downstairs has no last name
She calls herself Asia X
Is she pretentious
Or is she just cryptic
Or is she on the run from the I.R.S.
But at night I feel the surges
And my sinking ship submerges
There's a tidal wave of urges to get wet

CHORUS
So dive

People stay the same throughout the ages
Looking for a change is still courageous
>From dungeons to death camps to furnished cages
It makes me wonder if Darwinism is just another load of intellecutal jizz
And how!

CHORUS
Where are they now?
What would they say if
