EX HEX Rips MRG525 All songs written by Mary Timony except where noted. Don’t Wanna Lose If you listen close you might hear the sound I would never let you down I thought you were a man of action Come on baby, come on give me a little reaction I don’t wanna lose your love It’s in my hand, it’s just a question of If you’re gonna stop messing around You better hurry up, don’t let me down You keep telling me it won’t be long Well, that’s not right and that’s not wrong Come on, talk to me baby and don’t be so cold Your kingdom comes from actions and not from being bold I don’t wanna lose your love It’s in my hand, it’s just a question of If you’re gonna stop messing around You better hurry up, don’t let me down My perception is growing dim There’s no way to lose and no way to win I’m not gonna stay down, goodbye to dark days that surround Beast Was it my imagination? Did you come out of the past? You had horses behind you But I didn’t want to ask You’re so independent You never needed nothing Never needed no one Never wanted to have fun That’s when I found out I was wrong
When you count on nothing, nothing comes along You were standing on the corner You were waiting for the beast You had stories of prophets But I didn’t want to tease Come down from your tower You got tall tree power Your eyes are on fire You got no desire I should have known right from the start When you count on nothing, nothing falls apart And then we stayed out all night And in the morning you had second sight That’s when I found out I was wrong When you count on nothing, nothing comes along Come down from your tower You got tall tree power Your eyes are on fire You got no desire Waste Your Time I don’t wanna waste your time You keep talking to me, I might change my mind There are colors that you can’t see I wanna say to you so naturally I don’t wanna hang out with anyone else So why you wanna hide behind yourself? If you’re really mother nature’s son Shining Perpetual Sound on everyone Well, I don’t wanna let you down I just wanna dance, wanna dance, wanna dance now You got all dressed up but there was nowhere to go When the cops shut down our rainbow I just wanna be your mirror There are colors that you can hear
You Fell Apart Last night you fell apart I always knew you were strange from the start Now you’re out creepin’ around Just looking for some action, trying to get down You’re at the after-‐party every night Wasted in the fog trying to see the light Can’t stop thinking, so what do I do Can’t stop feeling, so what do I do Last night tore you apart I always knew you were strange from the start Now you’re out creepin’ around Looking for girly action, trying to get down Can’t stop thinking, so what do I do Can’t stop feeling, so what do I do I tried so hard not to forget I got no regrets, I got no regrets Can’t stop thinking, so what do I do Can’t stop feeling, so what do I do I tried so hard not to forget I got no regrets, I got no regrets Can’t stop thinking, so what do I do Can’t stop feeling, so what do I do Tried so hard not to forget That you’re just a creep that I regret And I tried so hard not to forget I got no regrets, I got no regrets How You Got That Girl (written by Betsy Wright) Maybe I’ve changed but I don’t worry You’re not gonna bring me down I used to cry, cry, cry Now I don’t remember why I just never want to hear that sound You tell me this
You tell me that It’s what you give You’re gonna get it back I’ve been the object of your affection I’ve been the target of your cruel intention And I know just how you got that girl I see you on the street with someone new, you talk sweet You just walk, walk on by Staying out just about every night You just try, try, try You tell her this You tell her that Whatever you give You’re gonna get it back I’ve been the object of your affection I’ve been the target of your cruel intention And I know how you got that girl Waterfall Surely there was no one to guide us You know what I mean? So we’re gonna ride the river before we quit this scene You’re my little waterfall, whoa – ohh I love to watch you roll and roll, whoa – ohh You took me to a party and you hid behind a door Then you stole my wallet and passed out on the kitchen floor It’s a chemical reaction, whoa – ohh I want to show you fake affection, whoa – ohh Surely there was no one to guide us You know what I mean? So we’re gonna ride the river before we quit this scene You’re my little waterfall, whoa – ohh I love to watch you roll and roll, whoa – ohh It’s a chemical reaction and nothing more I want to show you my affection but you’re on the floor
Hot and Cold So hot so cold So young so old You look at me with snakelike eyes I cannot see through your disguise We’re parallel I can tell You’re acting like the foolish kind Keep trying to talk to me through your mind I want you more the more I know The lines that cross and the dots that go… So hot so cold, So young so old You’re acting like the foolish kind Keep trying to talk to me through your mind So hot so cold… Radio On (written by Betsy Wright) Just about the time, time I get off You’re gonna roll right past with the radio on I don’t mind One more time, yeah do it again But you keep on saying that you’re my friend I don’t mind Radio on Radio on Turn around and you’re gone You take my love and you waste my time How can I help it if it sure feels fine? I don’t mind Here you come again looking like you do I know you like it when I’m falling all over you
I don’t mind Radio on Radio on Turn around and you’re gone Radio on Oh I know that I gotta let you go Oh I can see that you’re just not the one for me Radio on With the radio on Turn around and you’re gone Radio on New Kid Here comes Johnny, he’s your answer man Says he can read you like the back of his hand Says he can make you understand Watch out, he’ll be your best friend Saw him in the woods skipping school Talking trash and being rude Smoking up, getting bent Watch out, here he comes again You’re the new kid in town Everybody tryin’ to knock you down They thought it hurt when they did it to me I just laughed and I turned the other cheek Just trying to get your kicks And no one understands You’re a warrior, a warrior, a warrior You’re a warrior, a warrior, a warrior That mean girl, she’s got nothing to do She tried to mess around with you Tell her that it won’t be long Play around and you’ll be conned Some say it’s out of hate, some say it’s out of love Some say it’s out of nothing, and some say that it’s just because – You’re the new kid in town
Everybody tryin’ to knock you down They were headed in the wrong direction When they were messing with your affection Just trying to get your kicks And no one understands You’re a warrior, a warrior, a warrior You’re a warrior You’re the new kid in town Everybody tryin’ to knock you down They thought it hurt when they did it to me I just laughed and I turned the other cheek Just trying to get your kicks And no one understands You’re a warrior, a warrior, a warrior You’re a warrior, a warrior, a warrior You’re the new kid, and you’re a warrior War Paint I can see that you’re different than me There are a lot of reasons to disagree I can tell things are changing every day But there’s still one thing that never goes away: You think you’re too cool You think you’re too cool So put your war paint on and dance alone in the crowd And soon you will discover the music was just too loud Your friends are cruel, street smart and rough You’d tell them everything, but you’re just too tough And no one’s good enough No one’s good enough Don’t lose your head about it, perception is a fool Or else your mind might turn inside out on you Good times are almost here, I can hear the sound I got no time for cool kids cause we gotta roll on and on Too too too too too cool
Everywhere I’ll find you everywhere If you don’t exist, I don’t care I’ll find you everywhere Waterfalls are in the air If you don’t see them, I don’t care There are waterfalls in the air I saw you looking into the mortal mirror I could see right through you Even though you were right here You’re a crystal chandelier Your prisms ring so clear, Crystal chandelier I’ll find you everywhere If you don’t exist, I don’t care I’ll find you everywhere And when I saw you You were hanging out with your friends I knew that it was over But I didn’t know it had come to an end Outro Take care, don’t beware Follow the sound I’ve been up, I’ve been down, I’ve been around I follow the silver stream of what I can’t forget I wait for worlds that haven’t happened yet Take care, don’t beware Follow the sound I’ve been up, I’ve been down, I’ve been around We lay beside our minds and watched the time grow There was nothing left to find, and nothing left to know
