I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone.
I'd rather laugh in bed than do it. If I went to a lady of the night, I'd probably pay her to tell me jokes. Would that be perverted?
No end to sorrow, caused by the same endless fears.
I hate making videos. Songs are not visual. You get it out of the air. You don't watch it on MTV.
I don't think what has happened to me is that different from what happens to most people. The only difference is the scale. People seem to think my problems are larger than life, but they're not larger than my life.
Ah, you look so good to meWith my eyes open wide, I can seeAh, you feel so good to meAnd it's so good when you're here cause I'm free
Some folks like to get awayTake a holiday from the neighborhoodHop a flight to Miami BeachOr to HollywoodBut I'm talking a GreyhoundOn the Hudson River LineI'm in a New York state of mind.
If you want to know what life is like in the Soviet Union, go to your local department of motor vehicles
I was homeless when I was younger and I was suicidal when I was 21. Anything that has happened after that is like water off a duck's back.
In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along.
You've got yoga honeyI've got beerYou got overpricedAnd I got weird.
Part of me is afraid to let go of this other thing, which was so hugely successful. But on the other hand, I have to move ahead, or else my feet are stuck in the cement. I feel like I'm capable of writing other kinds of music, and I'm at a transitional time in my life.
Go on and cry in your coffee, but don't come bitching to me.
Call me a joker, call me a foolRight at this moment I'm totally cool.
