shapeshifter
. . . . . . . . . . . .
it's been a while and you're not the same
though you have the same face - have the same name
. . . CHORUS . . .
you’re a like a snake shedding your skin
when it gets too small - when it gets too thin
you're a shapeshifter - I am one too
and over time you have changed too
dyed your hair pink then dyed it blue
i’m like a snake shedding my skin
when it gets too small - when it gets too thin
I'm a shapeshifter - I thought you knew
. . . BRIDGE . . .
sometimes we are mice and cats
other times we are gloves and hats
sometimes we couldn't be less alike
other times we'll ride a tandem bike
sometimes I am plaid and you are paisley
sometimes I like the way we clash
sometimes it drives me crazy
what shape is life?
what shape are you?
what shape are we?
what shape is true?
we are opposites
we are the same
we come and go
and we always change
we are like snakes shedding our skins
when they get too small - when they get too thin
we are shapeshifters - you know it's true

junk in love
. . . . . . . . . . . .
found you in a junk shop
in a heap of old tin pots
you’re my treasure, are you not?
i love your tarnished spots (ooooooo)
i don’t know what you used to be
but now you’re everything to me
i took you home and cleaned you up
just took off a little dust
made sure not to take too much
left your history in rust
i don’t know what you used to be
but now you’re everything to me
how did i get along before
i carried you through my door?
i took you up into my room
you chased the shadows from the gloom (oooooooo)
i don’t know what you used to be
but now you’re everything to me
looking around here you’d think
she’s got everything
i’d give it all up
cuz i love you so much
i don’t know what you used to be
but now you’re everything to me

bayou mermaid
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
viens . . . viens . . .
they will call you
to the bayou
by your name
they will call you
you won't wonder
how they know you
in the bayou
You will see them
in the bayou
you will know them
as they call you
shadows on the water
of the bayou
in the bayou
they have hair of spanish moss
to tangle you
you won't fear them
you will feel their love is true
they will hold you there
and like them you will grow roots
in the bayou

je m’en fous
. . . . . . . . . . .
je m’en fous
c’est rien de tout
walkin’ down the street
plaid socks pulled up to my knees
yes, i may be looking fine
but you don’t want to tell me
je m’en fous
c’est rien de tout
i have walked a lot of miles
don’t you dare tell me to smile
oooo he didn’t
uh huh
je m’en fous
c’est rien de tout
you say it’s compliment
i say you should GET A GRIP
you’re not trying to be nice
it’s just a POWER TRIP
cause if i don’t play along you’ll call me a . . .
JE M’EN FOUS
c’est rien de tout
if you wanna talk to us
while we’re waiting for the bus
you can ask but be polite
and don’t expect us to be nice
i was taught a should be kind
so i was the first a THOUSAND times
don’t make the proposition
if you can’t take rejection
I DON’T OWE YOU
CAUSE I DON’T KNOW YOU
we are sisters boekbinder
you can dance but don’t grind her
unless you ask permission first
and if you don’t we’ll make you hurt
JE M’EN FOUS
c’est rien de tout
