If I said I don’t want what I don’t have  
And all the answers are enough  
If I said I believe in myself  
And that’s enough

I’d be lying

I believe in babies  
I believe in Mom and Dad  
And I believe in you

When I was young and full of grace, and spirited a rattlesnake  
When I was young and fever fell, my spirit I will not tell  
You’re on your honor not to tell

I believe in coyotes and time as an abstract  
Explain the change, the difference between  
What you want and what you need, there’s the key  
Your adventure for today, what do you do  
Between the horns of the day

I believe in the sounds of Sam and Dave  
That little children should occasionally misbehave  
That all that you get is all that you gave  
I believe in the power of love

Hold tight to your faith  
Don’t let nobody make you jaded  
Your love is precious,  
Give it to somebody who deserves it  
This is what I believe in

Precious and few are the moments we two can share  
Quiet and blue, like the sky, I’m hung over you  
And if I can’t find my way back home (can’t find my way)  
It just wouldn’t be fair (be fair)

I like the way you cross the street ‘cause your precious  
Moving through the cleveland heat how precious  
Taking rides and all the kicks was so precious  
But you know I was shittin’ bricks 'cause I’m precious

Made me wanna, made me wanna, you made me make it  
Oh, you’re so mean

So pale and precious is the light that will shine  
Out of the windows in her head  
So pale and precious like the sun as it climbs  
Up every morning on her bed

Again she fled, but swift he came.  
Tinúviel! Tinúviel!  
He called her by her elvish name,  
And there she halted listening.  
One moment stood she, and a spell  
His voice laid on her: Beren came,  
And doom fell on Tinúviel  
That in his arms lay glistening.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,  
In the lane, snow is glistening  
A beautiful sight,  
We’re happy tonight.  
Walking in a winter wonderland.

"Lacey things, the wife is missing.  
Didn’t ask, for her permission  
I’m wearing her clothes,  
her silk panty hose.  
Walking around in women’s underwear.

I need you today  
Give to me your leather  
Take from me my lace

And he was just like a great dark wing  
Within the wings of a storm  
I think I had met my match, he was singing  
And undoing  
And undoing  
Undoing the laces  
Undoing the laces

Said Sara, you’re the poet in my heart  
Never change, never stop  
But now it’s gone it doesn’t matter what for  
But when you build your house then call me home

Ahh, it’ll take a little time  
Might take a little crime to come undone  
Now we’ll try to stay blind to the hope and fear outside  
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind and blow me in to cry  
Who do you need?  
Who do you love?  
When you come undone  
Who do you need?  
Who do you love?  
When you come undone

\*Night was dark, but the sky was blue,  
Down the alley, the ice-wagon flew,  
Heard a bump, and somebody screamed,  
You should have heard just what I seen.

Who do you love?  
Who do you love?\*

We’re gonna make a master-piece a pizza.  
A work of art like the Mona Lisa.  
It’s gonna be high like the Tower of Pisa.  
But to get there…You don’t need a visa.

Pizza, P-I-Z-Z-A. Gimme pizza.  
Uh, did I happen to say, I want pizza.  
P-I-Z-Z-A. I want pizza.  
Hey, are you ready to play?
