Sudden Silence - Crush (1999)

Minneapolis
(By: That Dog)

I was at the Jabberjaw
The cutest boy I ever saw
He was standing behind me
He was such a dream
He kept looking right my way
I want to see him everyday
Randy told me where he lives

In Minneapolis

Hung around 'til holding time
I want to make him mine all mine
I told my friends I wanted to leave
And they embarrassed me
I took my keys out for my car
Walked down the street not very far
He came running after me
He saw me at the entry

Minneapolis

He said 'I heard you asked 'bout me"
And I responded "yes" quietly
He said "I'm leaving on Wednesday
Come see me when low plays
So went to see him again
He should be my new best friend
Running so romantically
Down the street for me

So we said we'd write or call
'Cause I'll be touring in the fall
He said he wanted me to move
But that just won't do

Minneapolis

LONG ISLAND
(By: That Dog)

you're pretty dreamy for a boy from long island
you should come to see me on my western horizon
seems as though our paths were never meant to meet
but i just look at you and know you're pretty sweet.

i want to set a place for you at my table
we can sit forever watching reruns on cable
take you driving in my brother's beat up car
sharing a cigarette we'll wish upon a star together.

so you say you like my shirt
(i like your shirt)
and you say you've got a lot just like them
(i've got a lot just like them)
and i hear you wrote a song about me
(la la la la)
by definition, a crush must hurt
and they do
and they do.
just like the one i have on you.

Never Say Never
(By: That Dog)

I was blind as a bat
And still knew where you were at
I was deaf and dumb
And still knew that you're the only one
I could show up at your door
And still know what you're looking for
I could wait in your line
And if you had no money I'd give you my last dime
I never took it out
No, I never took it out on you
No, I'd never take it out on you


Being With You
(By: That Dog)

I sit with emptiness waiting for your call
Will you still love me after the fall
An open phone line, but I still hit your walls
And it's just like being with you

The cold rejection that we conceived
Our whole reflection that I can't believe
We'll say it's over, but won't feel relieved
And it's just like being with you

It's just like being with you
You know what you need to do and I know what right for me
And you know that you need to do and I know what's right for me

A happy birthday I will wish you
A swollen memory so we must choose
A tearful goodbye, but we can't lose

I'm Gonna See You
(By: That Dog)

We'll have lots of bail
Tons of trail mix
'cause we're setting out to sail courageously
you and me

we'll have lots of love
the both of us
and none of the above-the-waist activity
you and me

I'm gonna see you in the morning
I'm gonna see you when you're uptight
I'm gonna see you when you're boring
I'm gonna see you every night
I'm gonna see you every night

We'll have wedding dreams
And baby seats
And family gatherings eternally
You and me

We'll have visits small
Long distance calls
And meetings in bathroom stalls in fantasy
You and me

Gagged and Tied
(By: That Dog)

I'd like to take you home
So that we can be alone
We'll go for a walk
Then we'll go home not to talk
And I don't care if you don't treat me like a lady
And I don't care just sit there and don't disobey me
Mistress never tells a lie
Would you love me gagged and tied
It's not your style, I can see you crack a smile
It's okay with me
I just want the company
Put on 'venus in furs'
And you can go home afterwards
And I don't care if you don't treat me like a lady
And I don't care just sit there and don't disobey me
Don't treat me like a lady

Hawthorne
(By: That Dog)

Driving looking for your parents' house
Striving, to find a piece of you
And I saw a punk rock show
In a car garage
And I saw you
And I saw you
Trying to be strong for you and myself
I was dying to get a piece of this
And I saw a punk rock show in a car garage
And I saw you as a child, isn't it wild
And I saw you
A dream come true

Not a virgin
(By Poe)

I'm not a virgin anymore

I just thought you should know
Darlin' I've been around
I took a walk up your block
In fact I have been all over town
Down by the lake
And underneath the table in my living room
But side with the blue blue moon

You can call me what you will
Call me a slut call me a jaded pill
But darlin I've got your number now

I'm not a virgin anymore
I've been taken
I've been hung up
I get down and start it over again
I've been open
And I've been closed like a book
And burned down like a written sin
I just thought you should know my darling
Before we begin
I'm not a virgin anymore

Just thought you should know
Before you let another lie
Slip through those crooked little teeth
I don't think you wanna start that shit with me

Much better yet
Tell me something dangerous and true
Oh yeah that looks much sexier on you

Careful what it is you say
'Cause I can see right through you
On a cloudy day and darlin' I think you wanna play
I'm not a virgin anymore
I've been taken
I've been hung up
I get down and start it over again
I've been open
And I've been closed like a book
And burned down like a written sin
I just thought you should know my darling
So if you wanna play dirty darling I'm gonna win
I'm not a virgin anymore

Been there done that
(Say what?)
Get the hang of it
Get screwed
I screw you I had a whole lot of fun with it
I've had enough now so you better take a bow
It's gonna be a new experience if you wanna play with me

Daisy chains and maryjanes
Happy ending fairy tales
Cannot fool me now

I've been taken
I've been hung up
I get down and start it over again
I've been open
And I've been closed like a book
And burned down like a written sin

Hell I've been divided
Out of my mind and reinvented again
I've been ignited and then uninvited
So honey
You break it up
I'm gonna put it back together again

I just thought you should know my darling
Before we begin

I'm not a virgin anymore
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Do you get the gist of the song now?
