St. Vincent - Live In The Dream

Hello do you know where you are?
You’ve been out cold we almost called the cops
Don’t get up can you count to 10?
Oh boy you’re so lucky we found you when we did
Cause there’s a lot of people here who wanna do you harm
But stay with me you fallen lamb and I’ll keep you in my arms

But I can’t live in the dream
The dream lives in me

Welcome child you’re free of the cage
Trying to seem sane makes you seem so strange

You look tired go on rest your head
Oh girl you’re so lucky we found you when we did
Cause there’s a lot of people here who wanna do you harm
But stay with me you fallen lamb and I’ll keep you in my arms
But I can’t live in the dream
The dream lives in me

But I can’t live in the dream
The dream lives in me

St. Vincent - Down

You hit me one time
Imagine my surprise
You hit me two times
You got yourself a fight
I was a patsy
You were a creep from the cheap seats
Thinking that my little scratch was like your big victory
See but I'll take you down, uh-huh

Tell me who hurt you – no, wait, I don't care to
Hear an excuse why you think you can be cruel
(Cruel, cruel, cruel)
Mama always told me
(My mama told me)
You got to turn the other cheek
But even she would agree
You're an exception to that rule
(Rule, rule, rule)

I'll take you
Yeah I'll take you
I'll take you
I'll take you down
(I'll take you down, down, down, down)
I'll take you down
(I'll take you down, down, down, down)

Go get your own shit
Get off of my tit
Go face your demons
Check into treatment
Go flee the country
Go blame your daddy
Just get far away from me

Cause I'll take you down
(I'll take you down, down, down, down)
'Cause I'll take you down
(I'll take you down, down, down, down)
(I'll take you down)

Go tell your friends

St. Vincent - Down And Out Downtown

Last night's heels
On the mornin' train
It's a long way back downtown

Ten missed calls, they don't
Know where you are
It's a long way back downtown

Hey, I was flying (Flying, flying, flying)
Over the Empire State (Over, away)
Then you kissed me (Kissed me, kissed me)
And I crashed again

When did it start?
This feeling so wrong
When you're down and out downtown

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Bowery John
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Forgotten but not gone

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Praying at St. Ann's
Bodega roses in my hands
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Down and out downtown
And the
Joker with that funny laugh
Is digging through the basement of my past
It's a long way back down
Down and out downtown

Hey, I was flying (Flying, flying, flying)
Over the Empire State (Over, away)
When you kissed me (Kissed me, kissed me, kissed me)
And I crashed again
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

St. Vincent - My Baby Wants A Baby

My baby loves me like a saint
My baby hates when I'm away
My baby wants a baby
How can I go on?
What in the world (What in the world) would my baby say?
I got your eyes and your mistakes
You make a home (You make a home) I run away
And the story starts again
Then I couldn't stay in bed all day
I couldn't leave like my daddy
And I wouldn't be your only baby anymore

My baby's closer than a shave
My baby's blue when I dye grey
My baby wants a baby
How can it be wrong?
But I wanna play guitar all day
Make all my meals in microwaves
Only dress up if I get paid
How can it be wrong?

What in the world, what in the world, would my baby say?
I got your eyes and your mistakes
I wanna run, I wanna run, I wanna chase
The ending I can't see
Then I won't have no legacy
'Cause I won't write no symphony
Won't have no streets named after me
Won't even have your sympathy
No one will scream that song I made
Won't throw no roses on my grave
They'll just look at me and say
Where's your baby
