Johnny Depp

(Erin O’Bryan)

I’VE GOT SAD BROWN EYES MY ROOTS ARE GETTING DARK
MY LIPS MIGHT NOT HAVE THAT SEXY LITTLE SPARK
BUT MY BANGS DO HANG DOWN OVER MY FACE
I’LL NEVER BE AS COOL AS CRY BABY

I WISH I WAS PRETTY AS JOHNNY DEPP
THEN EVEN YOU WOULD FOLLOW MY EVERY STEP

CAN’T BE A PIRATE TOO MUCH EYELINER MAKES ME SQUINT
BUT I DIG SECOND HAND CLOTHES THAT ARE WAY TOO BIG
TRIED TO DRIVE TO VEGAS ON A HUNTER S BINGE
BUT FEAR AND LOATHING NEVER LET ME IN

I WISH I WAS PRETTY AS JOHNNY DEPP
THEN EVEN YOU WOULD FOLLOW MY EVERY STEP
IF ONLY I WAS PRETTY AS JOHNNY DEPP
THE PICTURE I GAVE YOU YOU MIGHT HAVE KEPT

I DON’T MIND BEING ME IF I COULD LOOK LIKE YOU
I DON’T MIND BEING ME IF I NEVER HAVE TO FACE THE TRUTH

NEVER HAD A NIGHTMARE UP ON ELM STREET
CUT UP ALL MY HEDGES LIKE GIRAFFES AND MONKEYS
BUT I AM SORT OF SHY I LOOK AWAY FROM THEIR EYES
I’LL NEVER BE AS COOL AS HE CAN BE

I WISH I WAS PRETTY AS JOHNNY DEPP
THEN EVEN YOU WOULD FOLLOW MY EVERY STEP
IF ONLY I WAS PRETTY AS JOHNNY DEPP
THE PICTURE I GAVE YOU YOU MIGHT HAVE KEPT
IF I WAS PRETTY AS JOHNNY DEPP YEAH
IF I WAS PRETTY AS JOHNNY DEPP

What You Wanna See (The Elvis Song)

(Erin O’Bryan)

I SWEAR I JUST SAW ELVIS HE WAS LOOKING REALLY HOT
I OVER HEARD HIM SAY HE’D BEEN WORKING OUT JUST JOINED A SPA
SO I’M HEADING OUT TO VEGAS IN MY LUCKY BLUE SUEDE SHOES
STARTED HITCHIN FOR RIDES LOOKIN FOR THOSE BRIGHT LIGHTS
OR SOME KIND OF SIGN

YOU CAN SEE ANYTHING YOU WANNA SEE
HEY IT’S NOTHIN NEW TO ME
YOU CAN SEE ANYTHING YOU WANNA SEE
IT DON’T MEAN NOTHIN TO ME

SAW A MAGAZINE AT THE CHECK OUT LINE SAID JESUS HAD RETURNED FROM TIME
JUST LIKE THAT HEARD HE APPEARED
ON A SHEET HANGIN OUTSIDE THE SUDS & DRY
SO I’M FLYING OFF TO LUBBOCK TEXAS IN MY FORD FALCON ‘68
YEAH I DON’T REALLY KNOW IT SORT OF LOOKED LIKED JESUS
KIND OF LOOKED LIKED CURT KOBAIN

YOU CAN SEE ANYTHING YOU WANNA SEE
HEY IT’S NOTHIN NEW TO ME
YOU CAN SEE ANYTHING YOU WANNA SEE
IT DON’T MEAN NOTHIN TO ME

I SWEAR THAT I SAW IT I SWEAR THAT I SAW IT
I SWEAR THAT I SAW WHAT I SAW

NEVER SAW A WEREWOLF AT TRADER VIC’S
HEARD OF BIGFOOT ON SUNSET TURNING TRICKS
STARTED WALKIN ALL NIGHT LOOKIN FOR THOSE BRIGHT LIGHTS
OR ANY KIND OF SIGN

YOU CAN SEE ANYTHING YOU WANNA SEE
HEY IT’S NOTHIN NEW TO ME
YOU CAN SEE ANYTHING YOU WANNA SEE
IT DON’T MEAN NOTHIN TO ME

Sympathy

(Erin O’Bryan & Chris Brumitt)

GOT A WHOLE LOT BIGGER THAN MY BRITCHES
LOOKING AT LIFE LIKE A POT OF WISHES
TOOK A DOSE OF REALITY TO BRING ME DOWN
NOW I’M GOOD AND TIRED BACK ON THE GROUND

CAME A POINT WHEN IT ALL TURNED ON A DIME
CHASING DEVILS KNOCKED ME DOWN THE LINE
IT’S EASY TO WONDER WHY I’M IN THIS STATE
NO ONE ELSE TO BLAME FOR MY OWN FATE

BUT I’D NEVER LOOK FOR YOUR SYMPATHY
CAUSE SYMPATHY’S FOR SUCKERS IN MISERY
A LESSON ALWAYS BEST LEARNED THE HARD WAY
DON’T SUGAR COAT IT JUST SHOW ME WHERE TO PAY

WELL HERE I AM IN YET ANOTHER FIX
BEGGING FOR SOMEONE TO PULL ME OUT OF THIS
DO I HAVE THE STRENGTH TO GET SOME PEACE OF MIND
OR CAN I STEP AWAY AND LEAVE THIS BEHIND

BUT I’D NEVER LOOK FOR YOUR SYMPATHY
CAUSE SYMPATHY’S FOR SUCKERS IN MISERY
A LESSON ALWAYS BEST LEARNED THE HARD WAY
DON’T SUGAR COAT IT JUST SHOW ME WHERE THE HELL TO PAY

A Beautiful Allure

(Erin O’Bryan & Chris Brumitt)

SHE CAN MOVE YOUR SOUL SMOOTH AND EASY
THEN BREAK YOU DOWN ON THE FREEWAY
ANY TIME OF NIGHT SHE’S THERE TO PLEASE
THEN CUT YOU CLEAN OFF AT THE KNEES

A BEAUTIFUL ALLURE THERE AIN’T NO CURE
IT’S LIKE A DRUG RUNS STRAIGHT THROUGH YOU

SHE CAN MAKE IT SEEM SIMPLE AND BORING
THEN KNOCK YOU OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING
SHE CAN WRAP YOU UP ALL SAFE AND WARM
THEN LEAVE YOU GUESSING WHY YOURE BLOODY AND TORN

A BEAUTIFUL ALLURE THERE AIN’T NO CURE
IT’S LIKE A DRUG RUNS STRAIGHT THROUGH YOU

DON’T LET ME DOWN
DON’T LET ME DOWN
YOU DON’T WANNA DISAPOINT
DON’T LET ME DOWN
DON’T LET ME DOWN
I KNOW IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR JOINT

SHE CAN DRAW YOU IN AND TAKE YOU HOME
LAY YOU OPEN YOU WISH YOU’D NEVER COME
HER BEAUTY WILL BRING YOU LIGHTNESS OF BEING
TAKE YOUR EYE OFF HER AND FEEL HER STING

A BEAUTIFUL ALLURE YEAH THERE AIN’T NO CURE
IT’S LIKE A DRUG RUNS STRAIGHT THROUGH YOU
A BEAUTIFUL ALLURE THERE AIN’T NO CURE NO
CUZ YOU DON’T WANT NO CURE

Love Wash Over Me

(Erin O’Bryan)

IT’S IN ONE OF THE STARS TONIGHT
I GUESS I WISHED MORE THAN ONE TIME YEAH
YOU KNOW LOVE CAN BE AN ELLUSIVE THING
SO NOW I’LL HEAR THE BLACKBIRD WHEN SHE SINGS

IF I COULD
LET LOVE WASH OVER ME
IF I COULD
LET LOVE SET ME FREE

MY SOLE IS ON FIRE TONIGHT
CAN’T BE IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IT RIGHT
ONLY LOVE CAN HELP ME SEE
THE ANGEL STANDING RIGHT BESIDE ME

IF I COULD
LET LOVE WASH OVER ME
IF I COULD
LET LOVE SET ME FREE

ADRENALINE PULSES THROUGH MY BLOOD
I NEED TO SWIM IN THIS CURRENT OF LOVE AWHILE
UNTIL I CAN’T CATCH MY BREATH
UNTIL I HAVE NOTHING LEFT
UNTIL I REACH MY FINAL DEPTH
AND THEN I’LL FLY INTO THE GOLDEN LIGHT

IF I COULD
LET LOVE WASH OVER ME
IF I COULD
LET LOVE SET ME FREE

Vintage

(Erin O’Bryan)

I CAN STILL SEE YOU WALKING UP FAIRFAX YOUR CIGARETTE LIT
AND THE COOL TYPE OF VIBE YOU KNOW NO ONE ELSE COULD GET
I CAN STILL HEAR YOUR VOICE ECHO THROUGH LARGO SOME NIGHTS
YOU’RE IN THE ATMOSPHERE YEAH STILL BURNING BRIGHT

VINTAGE DAYS VINTAGE NIGHTS
I KEEP THAT TIME CAPSULE LOCKED AWAY INSIDE
VINTAGE DAYS VINTAGE NIGHTS
RESIDUAL BUZZ THE ONLY THING KEEPING ME ALIVE

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU DOWN ON MELROSE RIGHT NEAR ROCA HULA
GONNA FIND SOME BITCHEN POOKA SHELLS AND A BIG STAR CONCERT TEE
I’VE STARTED WEARING SOME DAISIES IN MY HAIR
BLUE EYESHADOW FROM THE 70’S NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE

VINTAGE DAYS VINTAGE NIGHTS
I KEEP THAT TIME CAPSULE LOCKED AWAY INSIDE
VINTAGE DAYS VINTAGE NIGHTS
RESIDUAL BUZZ THE ONLY THING KEEPING ME ALIVE

DID YOU EVER NEED TO GET BACK IN TIME
TRY TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF SOMETHING YOU LEFT BEHIND
REMIND ME OF THAT TIME

I CAN STILL SEE YOU WALKING UP FAIRFAX YOUR CIGARETTE LIT
AND THE COOL TYPE OF VIBE ONLY YOU COULD GET
I KEEP WEARING THOSE DAISIES IN MY HAIR
RUBBER SOUL ON THE TURN TABLE YEAH I KNOW YOU’RE THERE

VINTAGE DAYS VINTAGE NIGHTS
I KEEP THAT TIME CAPSULE LOCKED AWAY INSIDE
VINTAGE DAYS VINTAGE NIGHTS
RESIDUAL BUZZ THE ONLY THING KEEPING ME ALIVE ALIVE

All Around Me

(Erin O’Bryan)

SHE HAD TO GO COULDN’T SAY WHY SHE REALLY DIDN’T KNOW
THE DAFFADILS WERE OUT UNFOLDED IN THE SUN LIKE HER WARM GLOW
THEN THEY HAD TO GO EVEN THEY HAD TO GO

YOU ARE ALL AROUND ME
BETWEEN THE SOUNDS THAT STILL RING IN MY EARS
YOU SURROUND ME WITH THE LIGHT
THAT GRACES THROUGH THE FIELDS AND THE TREES
STILL TOUCHES ME

DEEP IN HER HEART SHE WANTED TO STAY COULDN’T FIND ANOTHER WAY
LIKE A SUNSET THAT RADIATES YOU KNOW BEAUTY NEVER REALLY FADES
IT FINDS ANOTHER PLACE

YOU ARE ALL AROUND ME
BETWEEN THE SOUNDS THAT STILL RING IN MY EARS
YOU SURROUND ME WITH THE AIR
THAT GRACES THROUGH THE FIELDS AND THE TREES
STILLTOUCHES ME

SHE HAD TO GO COULDN’T SAY WHY I KNOW SHE DIDN’T KNOW
RUN BABY RUN DON’T YOU LET ANYONE EVER SLOW YOU DOWN

YOU ARE ALL AROUND ME
BETWEEN THE SOUNDS THAT STILL RING IN MY EARS
YOU SURROUND ME WITH THE LIGHT
THAT GRACES THROUGH THE FIELDS AND THE TREES
BRINGS ME TO MY KNEES

SHE HAD TO GO COULDN’T SAY WHY SHE REALLY DIDN’T KNOW

For Sadie Lynn

Static

(Erin O’Bryan)

I CAN’T HEAR ANYTHING THROUGH THE STATIC
I AM DEFINITELY CLOSE TO BEING NUMB
YOU CAN LOOK AT ME WHEN I PANIC
I’M A GIRL WHO HAS NO WHERE LEFT TO RUN

I CAN’T SEE ANYTHING THROUGH THE THUNDER
THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS
IF YOU TAKE A PICTURE IT LASTS MUCH LONGER
THEN YOU CAN DOCUMENT MY PAIN

SLOW DOWN TO SEE THE TRAIN WRECK
YOU CAN’T TAKE BACK WHATS ALREADY BEEN SPENT
HOLD ON TO HEAR YOUR OWN BREATH
HOLD ON

I CAN’T FEEL ANYTHING UNDER WATER
FREE FALLING THROUGH LIQUID AIR
I AM SUSPENDED IN SLOW MOTION AGAIN
OF THE PRECARIOUS SIDE OF LIFE I AM AWARE

SLOW DOWN TO SEE THE TRAIN WRECK
YOU CAN’T TAKE BACK WHATS ALREADY BEEN SPENT
HOLD ON TO HEAR YOUR OWN BREATH
YOU CAN’T STAY QUIET IN THE STATIC YOU’VE KEPT
SLOW DOWN TO SEE THE TRAIN WRECK
YOU CAN’T TAKE BACK WHATS ALREADY BEEN SPENT
HOLD ON TO HEAR YOUR OWN BREATH
HOLD ON HOLD ON

There’s A Girl

(Erin O’Bryan & Chris Brumitt)

THERES A GIRL WHO CAN’T HEAR A THING
BUT SHE ALWAYS KNOWS BEFORE YOU OR ME

SHE’S GOT A SPECIAL SPIRIT MAKES HER FLY
DON’T LOOK TOO HIGH AND MISS HER SMILE

ONCE A LIFETIME COMES A SPECIAL GIFT
TAKES NO TIME AT ALL FOR IT TO GET UNDER YOUR SKIN
SO GET SMART OPEN UP YOUR HEART
AND LET HER IN LET HER IN

YEAH THIS GIRL HAS SOME TROUBLE WITH WORDS
ONE LOOK IN HER EYES IS A LIFETIMES WORTH

SHE NEVER WASTES TIME WITH CONDITIONS
HER LOVE ROLLS OVER YOU ON A MISSION

ONCE A LIFETIME COMES A SPECIAL GIFT
TAKES NO TIME AT ALL FOR IT TO GET UNDER YOUR SKIN
SO GET SMART OPEN UP YOUR HEART AND LET HER IN LET HER IN

THERES A GIRL WHO CAN’T SEE MUCH AT ALL
BUT HER VISION OF YOU NEVER EBBS OR FALLS

SHE’S GOT A WAY OF WEARING HER SOLE ON THE OUTSIDE
HER LOVES LIKE A GULF RUNS DEEP AND WIDE

ONCE A LIFETIME COMES A SPECIAL GIFT
TAKES NO TIME AT ALL FOR IT TO GET UNDER YOUR SKIN
SO GET SMART OPEN UP YOUR HEART AND LET HER IN LET HER IN

For Bella

Yard Cow

(Erin O’Bryan & Chris Brumitt)

AIN’T NO WAY TO SEE THROUGH THE INK OF NIGHT
THE COW IN THE YARD WAITS TO TAKE FLIGHT
BIG SISTERS BEEN SEARCHIN FOR JUST THE RIGHT PILLS
OF PLEASURE AND PAIN CAN’T SEEM TO GET MY FILL

IT’S THE ULTIMATE DELUSION
NEVER WAITS FOR CONCLUSION
IS THERE ANY SOLUTION

THE BALL KEEPS SPINNING THE BALL KEEPS SPINNING AROUND AROUND

SOCK MONKEY DANCERS GIVE PREACHER QUITE A RUSH
AND BIG HAIR BETTY LIKES HER GRITS WAY TOO MUCH
QUIET LITTLE MEETING AT THE FIVE AND DIME
NEVER GONNA FIND THE PERFECT PLACE AND TIME

IT’S THE ULTIMATE DELUSION
NEVER WAITS FOR CONCLUSION
IS THERE ANY SOLUTION

THE BALL KEEPS SPINNING THE BALL KEEPS SPINNING AROUND AROUND

SO YARD COW FINALLY FOUND HER SET OF WINGS
NO NEED TO KEEP WAITING TO TAKE OFF IN SPRING
SO TAKE THE CAKE AND EAT THE WHOLE DAMN THING
NEVER GONNA SETTLE FOR THE SMALLEST PIECE

IT’S THE ULTIMATE DELUSION
CAN’T SIT BY FOR INTRUSION
I MIGHT HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION

THE BALL KEEPS SPINNING THE BALL KEEPS SPINNING
AROUND AROUND AROUND
THE BALL KEEPS SPINNING THE BALL KEEPS SPINNING
AROUND AROUND AROUND AROUND

Trip To Horizon

(Erin O’Bryan & Chris Brumitt)

SAT ON A BUS WITH A MAN OF INCOMPLETE DIGNITY
HE’S HAPPY WITH HIS SIX OF BUD AND A TICKET TO THE CITY
SAYS HE’S GOT A DAUGHTER SOMEWHERE RIGHT NEAR HERE
HE’D LIKE TO FIND HER AND GIVE HER THE BENEFIT OF ALL HIS YEARS

WHY READ A BOOK
THE COVERS ENOUGH TO DECIDE
SEEMS EVERYBODYS GOT A DESTINATION ON THIS RIDE

WE’RE ON A TRIP TO HORIZON
LET YOURSELF GO FOR A RIDE
WE’RE ON A TRIP TO HORIZON
NO PLACE LEFT TO HIDE

HIS DAUGHTER SPENDS HER DAYS AT THE LOCAL DINER FROM 8 TO 3
HOPING HER NEXT LOTTO TICKET WILL RESCUE HER AND SET HER FREE
DREAMING OF THE OPEN ROAD AND BREATHING THE OPEN AIR
MAYBE CATCH THE NEXT BUS TO ANYWHERE BUT HERE

WHY READ A BOOK
THE COVERS ENOUGH TO DECIDE
SEEMS EVERYBODYS GOT A DESTINATION ON THIS RIDE

WE’RE ON A TRIP TO HORIZON
LET YOURSELF GO FOR A RIDE
WE’RE ON A TRIP TO HORIZON
NO PLACE LEFT TO HIDE

NOW SHE’S ON A BUS FINALLY HEADING IN A NEW DIRECTION
SITTING NEXT TO SOMEONE SHE NEVER EXPECTED TO HAVE A CONNECTION WITH
IT’S A LONG STRAIGHT HIGHWAY UNTIL WE GO UP AROUND THE BEND
IF YOUR EYES ARE CLOSED YOU NEVER KNOW THE CHANCES YOU MIGHT MISS

WHY READ A BOOK
THE COVERS ENOUGH TO DECIDE
SEEMS EVERYBODYS GOT A DESTINATION ON THIS CRAZY RIDE

WE’RE ON A TRIP TO HORIZON
LET YOURSELF GO FOR A RIDE
WE’RE ON A TRIP TO HORIZON
YOU DON’T NEED TO HIDE
WE’RE ON A TRIP TO HORIZON
GET OFF YOUR ASS AND RIDE
WE’RE ON A TRIP TO HORIZON
I’LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE
