Aimee Mann - "All Over Now" - http://resurrectionafterrape.org/mp3/allovernow.mp3
Though I let you steer
You were cavalier
Inch became a light year
It was pathetic
Oh you can write the play
And every word I say
But I don't have to stay
To see the credits
'Cause it's all over now
Yes it's all over now
And I'm free
I was one of few
Who'd stick up for you
And so you never knew
You were a punch line
I could not convince or trust you
To pick up on my hints, must you
Leave your fingerprints
On everything I called mine
Well that's all over now
Yes it's all over now
And I'm free
Yes I'm free
From your interference
Which had the appearance
Of making it clear that
It's got nothing to do with me
And I warn you now
Of the velocity I'm gathering...
Though I let you steer
You were cavalier
Inch became a light year
It was pathetic
Oh you can write the play
And every word I say

Yes it's all over now
And I'm free
I was one of few
Who'd stick up for you
And so you never knew

I could not convince or trust you
To pick up on my hints, must you

Yes I'm free

When the devil comes blowing through your door
You'll know there's trouble
And he's coming back for more
You better keep what is precious
Hidden under the floor
Or you better treat it so good
It will never want for more
But looking back in retrospect
Did you ever really get what you'd expect?
Trying to rectify
Got lost a little further
Well, you've been trying to justify
Find out how and from where it came
Devil was your angel
But it's not no more
The devil was your angel
When you weren't sure
Do I tempt trouble to break through all these doors
Just to put a face to the voice which always haunts?
To fight for what is precious, to know what's under the floor
If I could treat it so good I swear I'd never want for more
When I found my peace
There were still mistakes
However painfully your wearing every step I take
Trying to rectify
Got lost a little further
Well, I've been trying to justify
Find out how and from where it came
The devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure.
To travel as my angel there's always more
Gonna take it back down
And I won't feel no shame
Till my dreams are my own again
Gonna take it right down
And I'll take the blame
Till my dreams are my own again
Here I am again
The devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure
To travel as my angel there's always my more
Maybe you're an angel
Try to remember you're an angel
Remember you're an angel
If you're not sure.

Pass In Time

So much stays unknown till the time has come.
Did you imagine you could ever be so strong,
Then watch your fear just turn into relief?
Your sea of doubt become your own belief?
Though tears don't come to cry some grief away,
The tears will help to keep your need at bay.
So come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
Come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
A mother told me just before she died
My mother told me just before she died,
"Oh darling, darling, don't you be like me.
You will fall in love with the very first man you meet."
But mother, mother, some will never know;
The love that you have is still holding my soul.
So come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a little while.
Come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while
You're here just a while...
Here just a while....
So much stays unknown till the time you are strong.
Did you imagine you could ever feel so strong,
And all your pain just turns into relief?
All your doubt becomes your own belief?
Though tears don't come to cry some grief away,
The years will help to keep your need at bay.
So come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
Come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
So come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
Come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
You're here just a while....
Here just a while....
You're here just a while
You might as well smile,
You might as well smile,
'Cause tomorrow, you just don't know.
It will pass. It's gonna pass.
It will pass in time.
It will pass in time.
It will pass.
It will pass in time.
It will pass in time.
It will pass.
It's gonna pass
It's gonna pass
It's gonna pass in time.
It will pass in time
It will pass.
It's gonna pass...
It will pass in time.
It's gonna pass
It's gonna pass
Still To Believe
You lose it
Just to find it
And as you walk right by it
You forget how you got there
And why you never meant to stay
And I won't watch you waste away
And I won't fake another day
And if one truth leads you to five
I still don't believe in your reasons why
I just don't believe in why
You love her
You need her
To feel is to believe her
You know it
You want it
You just can't believe you've got it
And I can't watch you waste away
And I won't beg you still to stay
And if one truth leads you to five
I still don't believe in your reasons why
I just don't believe in why
Just don't believe in why
I couldn't watch you walk away
And not forget it
I couldn't watch you turn to stone
And just regret a single day
Not a single day
Not a single day
Not a single day
If I lose you
Could you find me?
Or would you walk right by me?
The soul and the spirit
Each have got their own limit
And I can't waste another second
Living in hell like it's some kind of heaven
And if one truth leads to another
Then isn't there one I can uncover?
But there isn't one that I will not discover
It's the right time
It's my time
It's the right time
It's my time
It's my turn to discover
And I won't waste a single second
Living in hell as an nadir of heaven
And if one truth leads you to five
I still don't believe in your reasons why
And if one truth leads to another
Isn't there one we can uncover?
But there isn't one that we cannot discover
It's the right time
It's our time
It's our turn to discover

Beware of strength in numbers
They play better than one
A group of those who follow
Can never reach the sun
Be careful who you're thinking will save you in the end
Maybe we're all just waiting for one beautiful friend
The rising of all of this
Will not become the fall
A group of those who follow
Will never learn to walk
We see what we want to see
Maybe breathe lighter now
The group of those who follow
You'll never see us now
