Sit down and relax, Alisha has a song for us. She'll play it on her cello she'll play it in your hair, she'll play it your heartstrings because that is just the way she is. You can't stop her because she is Alisha and she rules the world. So get that stone out of your shoe and when she asks how you feel, tell her, "I am, I feel."

INTENSE
Intense - put your socks on and pull em up, we got a long ride and a velvet chair to sit on. Email junkies press your buttons now. The rocket fuel will last us till we push the boat out. And everybody wants to know, is what we're given what we get. I guess the answer is we don't know yet. Intense (I know you're feelin it, but what's it coming to when we wanna gea a rocket ship outta here.)

Gotcha!! Intense! Put your smile on and keep it sweet- you got your ammunition on your back but you can't use it. Are you a good soul or a bad egg? And is our future wounded by philosophies our daddy had? And everyone wants to see what the mirror cannot see - or is it something that we just can't see yet! Intense! (I know you're feelin it, but what's it coming to when we wanna gea a rocket ship outta here.) Intense (I know you're feelin it, but what's it comin to when we wanna get a rocket ship outta here.)

Sometimes we sit and watch the world cry. Sunny starts the day and rain it ends. But still they pass us by. Like stress has got its hold on you, you never sit back. Realize your so Intense ((I know you're feelin it, but what's it coming to when we wanna gea a rocket ship outta here.)

STONE IN MY SHOE
Lost in an adventure I be. Are you the man that I love or the man with a gun sitting next to me? The big bad world had me acting crazy so I called the lifeboat man. All you need are your fears and a few thousand tears. (It's a rescue plan!) I sneezed another brave idea. I wanna come look for you and it'll be wonderful if I ever get there. But if I fall will there be another stone in my shoe? making it harder to come back to you. Another stone in my shoe? And if I fly, lift your eyes as my paper boat sails away. Could it be 2 late? Or is your fate another stone in my shoe? Is that bomb your friend? Do you live in a 3 cornered house hoping that all the pain will end? One day you are irresistable then you tell that there is no lifeboat man. Tell me that I better be off now. "Babe, you need the rescue plan." I sneezed another bright idea. I wanna come look 4 you, and it'll be wonderful if I ever get there. But if I fall will there be another stone in my shoe? making it harder to come back to you. Another stone in my shoe? And if I fly, lift your eyes as my paper boat sails away. Could it be 2 late? Or is your fate another stone in my shoe? I see you peeping through the clouds. Your smile is beckoning me. "So far to go," voices say loud. But if I fall will there be another stone in my shoe? making it harder to come back to you. Another stone in my shoe? And if I fly, lift your eyes as my paper boat sails away. Could it be 2 late? Or is our fate another stone in my shoe? Another stone in my shoe. In my shoe. In my shoe. In my shoe. in my shoe.

Don't look no more, coz it'll only make your eyes sore. Hey! Count your R.E.M.s, it's comforting the sanctuary there we have.We argue sometimes and we fear we put the knife in too deep. But even when madness heads, it's only gladness I keep inside - (inside) coz we are indestructable. Yes, we are! And you are my lifeline, coz we are indestructable. Yes we are! mmm. Hey! Hey! Hey! You can be wicked! And you know I can be fickle sometimes too, y'know, maybe you're my better side, and maybe you annoy me to the point where I am holding this. Against your head but I never said, "We have the same free spirit - Tell me will you cry." Don't cry...Coz we are indestructable. Yes we are! And you are my lifeline, and we are indestructable, yes we are! mmm. You take me as I am, mister. There's a little red devil on my shoe, and you always stay real strong, you can take the rough with the smooth. And I know that we forget what we mean say. Too proud sometimes but I guess we're only human! Inside, inside. Coz we are, indestructable. Yes we are! And you are my lifeline, coz we are indestructable, yes we are! So give me a sign. We are indestructable. Yes we are! And you are my lifeline, and we are indestructable, yes we are! So give me a sign, coz we are indestructable! And you are my lifeline...
I WON'T MISS You
No no no no! After 6 months of living with him she thinks, I got to get myself an interest. Yeah yeah yeah yeah! Trying to get over what's gone before - but no one ever told her that you never get over, you just learn to live with it. Yeah yeah yeah yeah! She got no bow and arrow army pants and pig tails, she ain't got to be no one's dolly and at no body's whim. She got her shoes, her blues, her big red heart she walks to the door and she says, "I'm going now, goodbye, Babe, I won't miss you. It's a long road, but it's a fine time to get a little respect - na na no - I'm going now, goodbye, babe, I won't miss you." He always said that if she lost the plot she couldn't back up and find a new way. (new way! yeah yeah) Ha! What a hypocrit he turned out to be, and now he's watching 24 hours shopping teevee! yeah yeah yeah yeah! Coz she refused to lose, to bruise, boohoo you fool you misconstrued her. She walks to the door and she knows she'll never look back, never look back. She says, "mmmmm, I'm going now, goodbye, Babe, I won't miss you. It's a long road, but it's a fine time to get a little respect - na na na - I'm going now, goodbye, babe, I won't miss you." She didn't crumble and now he's feeling kinda sore. He was a fool to think he was her backbone. "mmmmm, I'm going now, goodbye, Babe, I won't miss you. It's a long road, but it's a fine time to get a little respect. I won't miss you! mmmm, I'm going now, goodbye, babe, I won't miss you! It was a long road but it's a fine time to get a little respect, no no no no no, I said I'm going now, goodbye, babe, I won't miss you! no no no no!"
THE GOLDEN RULE
Well someone told me if you live in a glasshouse - you might die in a big earthquake and end up with a stone in your mouth. I felt like kicking out when my boyfriend made me cry. But the lovliest fairy in the world and her name is Do As You Would Be Done By! It's the Golden Rule. Kittenish behavior or is it she don't care at all. Hit em like a tank girl, its their attitudes against the wall. Crush em with a crack sound and then hang em out to dry. And sprinkle a little good strong fairy dust right into their eyes. It's the Golden Rule. Or so I read in some poem somewhere! It's the Golden Rule....
JUST THE WAY YOU LIKE IT
Oh, it's just as much as I can bear. You're all around me, you are in the air. It makes me tremble at the thought of getting close to you. So save me from these thoughts that cross my mind. Coz Heaven knows I'm a lady but I guess I'm inclined to feel this way. When I think of you, and you know I'm gonna do it. Just the way you like it! Just the way you like it! It's cool to touch coz I want you so much, and I'm doin it, just the way you like it! We'll sit at home and comparing minds. I'll read you poetry the rarest you'll find. These crazy thoughts turn to rhyme when I'm here with you - the light starts to flicker when we move and the music's playing our favorite groove. Under the moon I'm gonna make sweet love to you. And you know I'm gonna do it.. Just the way you like it! Just the way you like it! It's cool to touch coz I want you so much and I'm doin it just the way you like it! just the way you like it! Just the way you like it! It's cool to touch coz I want you so much. Just the way you like it! And in this dream of endless space, our bodies moving set the pace - experimenting with infinity. I'll tell you the secrets tonight, because you know I'll see you right. Just the way you like it! Just the way you like it! Hey! just the way you like it!And I'm doing doing it the way yeah! Just the way you like it! Just the way you like it! Just the way you like it, baby! It's cool to touch coz I want you so much, and I'm doing it, just the way you like it!
AIR WE BREATHE
The galaxy's open, so paint me on your right hand, and let's fly off Superman style. It'll be so great, I'll never look back. With every bit of breathe I take - my thoughts say I want you, and there's nothing I can do to control their natural instincts. If you're ready we can take it to the heights and the air we breathe will take us - the air we breathe. - And no the lonliness won't break us coz all we need is - The air we breathe! The air we breathe! Apollo's turned and twisted. Oh my God! As you take me in your arms tonight. O, it feels so quiet, in turbelent times. So I think I'll build a stairway and like a Roman in your heart I will climb and we can start to journey on past all these satin sheets, and lift it past all our control! And the air we breathe will take us - the air we breathe. - And no the lonliness won't break us coz I know all we need is - The air we breathe! The air we breathe! Look up to the sky and ask yourself why. Coz this enchanted evening wouldn't get you any higher, will the colors fade on all these crimson hearts we made, and broken them before. So it's time to take a flyer. Breathe it in, breathe it out! Breathe it in, breathe it out! Breathe it in, breathe it out! And the air we breathe will take us - the air we breathe. - And no the lonliness won't break us coz I know all we need is - The air we breathe! The air we breathe! Breathe it in, Breathe it out! Breathe it in, Breathe it out! Breathe it in, Breathe it out! (The air we breathe) Breathe it in, breathe it out! (The air we breathe will take us! The air we breathe!) Breathe it in, breathe it out! (And the lonliness won't break us, coz I know all we need, is the air we breathe!) Breathe it in, breathe it out!
ADORE U
Adore U - I do, I do, I do. And everything I am I would give to you. My love, my love, my love. And everything I pretend to be, I will own up to. I will crown you, and drown in this your blue glistening waterfalls. (nothing quite like it.) The wind on my paperboat you are, and the trigger on my gun. Adore U, I said I do, I do, I do. And everything I am I would give to you. My love, my love, my love. Don't ever walk away. Don't ever walk away. I said don't ever walk away! Oh you take me high, so high hat I cannot come down, I feel like I can fly. I have my wings and I have no secrets. And even if I'm pretending (which I have a tendency to do.) I'll admit it to you, and drown in this your blue glistening waterfall. (nothing quite like it.) The wind on my paperboat sail you are, and the trigger on my gun. Adore U, I said, I do, I do, I do. And everything I am I would give to you. My love, my love, my love. I adore U, (don't ever walk away!) I said I do, I do, I do. And and everything I am, )don't ever walk away!) I would give to you, my love, my love, my love. Don't ever walk away! I said don't ever walk away! I adore you! I said I do , I do, I do and everything I am I would give to you, my love, my love, my love....
