Underworld 02:46
I’ve got so much to say And yet nothing comes close To the way we communicate When we don’t say a word I hear you clearly without sounds Oh I don’t need these ears When you’re around Communicate like trees Way down under the ground Where we’ve got so much going on Like a whole other hidden universe And I don’t think that I wanna leave just yet Can I just stay here stay here Here in our underworld Here in our underworld Here in our underworld Here in our underworld Make me happy Make me sweat Here’s my body and it’s dripping wet And I want you to show me the way back Oh I want you to give me what I lack Make me laugh and then Pull at my heartstrings ‘Till I cry like a baby on a full moon night And tonight I don’t wanna be anything But a girl in a cute dress A cute mess Here in our underworld Here in our underworld Here in our underworld Here in our underworld

Sweet 02:01
Is there nothing for me here Did I read it wrong Could you not make your mind up dear Did I just lead it on You stared at me All silly and sweet Then I turned away Turned back You had blown the candles out And I was left in the dark I tried to think light But what I wanted was sweet surrender Sweetest surrender You could have it right now And wouldn’t have to choose Take it up in your arms What do you have to lose And when you find me On my knees I am eager to please Everything that you are Anything that you need Your body makes me feel Shiny and gold like hidden treasure Oh what a pleasure
3.
Silly 01:50
You think that I’m kinda silly I know I know I know I know You think that I’m lookin pretty I see the way you look at me I’ve thought of so many ways to try to take you home Take you home take you home I’ve thought of a million ways to tell you I think you’re cool and I think I want you Did I wake up in the wrong world Or am I in some kind of paradise
4.
Well I’m walking just past midnight I’m alone all alone Ah just me and the moon And I’ve got quite an appetite Should I stay alone Or should I call you up call you up Maybe I’ll have a little drink and a little smoke Mull it over think it out ‘fore I just call you up after midnight On such an empty night Could I enjoy it for myself Or do I need some company Is it that easy to call someone up And tell them to wrap their arms around me It’s easy when the world’s asleep And it’s so easy when it’s all at my feet So I decide not to go home Not to go anywhere in particular I’ll just follow my feet Meet myself on an unfamiliar street Until I finally find nothing Maybe nothing’s what I need Ah just me and the moon Ah just me and the moon
5.
Let Me 02:44
I’m all that I’ve got Can’t be all you’ve got too There’s not enough room in here for all of you I’ll give you more whenever I’m ready I didn’t ask to give up my privacy I’m just one girl Don’t wanna rule the world I just wanna make make my own Won’t you let me Let me I’ve given my time and love to so many But I don’t have enough to give what you expect me I’m going out alone Alone feels just right Let me My shoulders are tired from holding such weight I’m putting it all down Taking it off Letting it drip down I will not be around I will be somewhere that I can only reach Not open to the public Not open to anyone Not open not open Let me
6.
If you were here We’d have a ball I’d take your hand and we’d fall But in the wake of what you left I will forever remain If you were here I’d touch your skin I’d bury everything I’d kiss your forehead And make a wish And we’d be all embracing I’d run a bath for us to sit in Light some candles your face would flicker in And I’d crumble at the thought of what we could be And I’d crumble at the beauty of what might be
7.
Care 03:24
You’ve got something I want always Never quite enough Never coming down I’ve got something I wanna give you for nothing I’ll be forever there Whether you care Whether you care Take me seriously and take me up in your arms Give me nothing and everything in between You make me scream You make me feel it all You make me wanna shine And you’ll be on your knees honey And it’ll never be the same We’ve got ourselves But maybe we could have each other too Treat me like you feel me I’ve got so much love Don’t know how to get it all out You’re blocking it from Finding its way to meet you halfway I wanna meet you halfway I’m there standing all still And then shaking moving levitating Love enough to fill a thousand hearts I’ll wait until it gets all dark We’ve got ourselves But maybe we could have each other too
8.
Shake 03:20
Now everybody do the shake Let’s shake it out let’s take a break Shake with me until there’s nothing left Just let it all hang out It’s not the end it’s the start Well I’ve got things I wanna scream and shout And I’ve got things that really freak me out But even when I’m on the edge of my cliff Well I can shout your name into the abyss Well I’ve got things I wanna say out loud And I don’t always get the words right out But I don’t wanna wait till we grow old I wanna kiss you like our lives depend on it Well I saw hearts all up in your eyes Don’t worry I won’t tell anyone Let’s just try to have a good old time You know we all deserve to feel that some time Well I’ve got stars coming out of my mouth I seem to throw them up on everyone It’s so good to have a little hope I watched the world go wild and so can I Now everybody do the shake Let’s shake it out let’s take a break Shake with me until there’s nothing left Just let it all hang out it’s not the end it’s the start

I put my hands on my body Take myself up in my arms I take out the stones from my pockets And balance them like my brother does And it feels like enough It feels like enough And even though I’ll never see the end of the road I know it’s there and that’s enough And even though I might see the end of your love I know it’s there and that’s enough Am I playing a role Is this all just a part Am I saying some lines That don’t come from the heart Am I saying yes When I really mean no Am I putting it on Is it all part of the show Am I selling a dream That doesn’t even exist Am I doing enough To rebel to resist And even though I’ll never see the end of the road I know it’s there and that’s enough And even though I might see the end of your love I know it’s there and that’s enough

Child's Play 07:43
Shake it off baby You’ve got it all figured out you’re doing just fine You never done nothing But try to feel alright Pick your fights and try to be kind Say how you feel even when it gets real oh We’re getting harder on the outside and softer on the inside Do it yourself that’s the only time it’s done right I’ve tried a million times but I never really got it just right But that’s the beauty of the game It’s a game and you don’t need to win It’s child’s play honey The way you shake it all up It’s child’s play honey The way you make me feel like I was just born Shake it off baby You’ve got it all figured out you’re doing just fine You never done nothing But try to feel alright We’re getting harder on the outside and softer on the inside
