Up, down, baby let me be your yo-yo
Up, down, baby let me be your yo-yo
I'll be the devil to your man in charge
I'll be your overdrawn credit card
I'll be your darling
I'll be your darling
So up, down, baby let me be your yo-yo
Up, down, baby let me be your yo-yo
You need a secretary
I need a boss
I need a total restoration of my faith in it all
I'll be your darling
I'll be your darling
Up, down, baby where do good dogs go?
Up, down, baby where do good dogs go?
Up to heaven that's what I would hope
So tell me up, down, baby where do good dogs go?
I'll be your darling
I'll be your darling
Up, down, baby tell me which way to go
Up, down, baby tell me which way to go
This is my very first day and I'm just lost is all
So up, down, baby tell me which way to go
And I'll be your darling
I'll be your darling

Grow

If you are the soil
I'm an invasive species and
I mean you no harm
Oh I'd just love to grow here
And I swear by my word
I'd never hurt anything
Growing here under these skies
I'd just grow
Oh to see you spread your wings
Gilded in silver
Oh to see you spread your wings
And gild them in gold
You've grown
Though I'm still young
I feel worn down at the edges
And I wish I had something better to do
Than trim rich folks hedges
For almost nothing
All the rich folks hedges
For almost nothing
They just grow

Like Oxygen

Presented as a unique perspective
I say "I wish the world were a better place"
I put all my eggs in one basket
I'm a machine that runs on luck and faith
So I hope I keep being lucky
For all the rest of all my days
And I hope to live inside your love
Like a ghost in a haunted place
Every night
I'll breathe you in like oxygen
To a man caught out in space
I'll breathe you in like oxygen
And I'll hope that's the way it stays
Nobody higher in my estimation
Nobody that can do what you do like you do
Like something beautiful born out of frustration
You'll always be the light that I'm drawn to
So I hope to burn out slowly
And be purely mesmerised
By the halo I keep pushing on toward
In the shape of your heavenly eyes
And every night I'll breathe you in like oxygen
To a man caught out in space
Every night
I'll breathe you in like oxygen
And I'll hope that's the way it stays
When I set out and off to make my fortune
I hope to have you by my side
Your eggs are safe when you have faith in the basket
As is your heart when your love is kind
So I hope to be some kind of guiding light
On the road to making it
I hope if I can't that I'm the kind of man
Who can learn how to live with that
So every night
I'd breathe you in like oxygen
To a man caught out in space
I'd breathe you in like oxygen
And I'd hope that's the way it stays

Thats Heavy

Whats that ya want?
You miss what you had
Back there and then
All that ya lost
Pissed up the wall
Damaged
Starved of oxygen
She says "Damn, that's heavy, come give me your love"
"Damn, that's heavy, oh well damn that's heavy, come lay in my arms"
You'll always have me around
Pissed off already
I climb the walls
Make another collect call
It would be funny
If it weren't so damn tragic
So damn dull
She says "Damn, that's heavy, come give me your love"
"Damn, that's heavy, oh well damn that's heavy, come lay in my arms"
You'll always have me around

Caretaker

In the courtyard here in paradise
The fountain doesn't freeze in the winter
There's never any ice in the pipes
So I am one lucky caretaker
I collect my pay in the managers office
I head home for the season
Gonna see my wife and my boy
Feels like six months since I seen 'em
Now I'm stepping out
To where the platform awaits
There's no creakin' as I'm leavin'
I'm the man that oils the gate
I'll be back here sooner
Than I'd have hoped
Or I'd have liked
Thats the job of a caretaker
Here in paradise
But I know just where I'm headed
When I'm headed home to you
Caretaker
I know just where I'm headed
When I'm headed home to you
Caretaker
Theres a thousand yard stare
Comes with being a paradise keeper
Its the light that leaves your eyes
There on the platform
First week of winter
I service all my concerns minus my doubts and my reason
I leave these last for spring
When the ice thaws
And I'm back to feeling like
I'm stepping out
To where the platform awaits
The banisters all polished
With all the care that I could take
I'll be back here sooner than I'd have hoped
Or I'd have liked
But that's the job of a caretaker
Here in paradise
But I know just where I'm headed
When I'm headed home to you
Caretaker
I know just where I'm headed
When I'm headed home to you
Caretaker
