Fiona Apple - Across The Universe Lyrics

Fiona Apple - Across The Universe Video

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,

They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe

Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,

Possessing and caressing me.

Jai guru de va om

 

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world.

 

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,

That call me on and on across the universe,

Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they

Tumble blindly as they make their way

Across the universe

Jai guru de va om

 

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world.

 

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing

Through my open ears inciting and inviting me

Limitless undying love which shines around me like a

Million suns, it calls me on and on

Across the universe

Jai guru de va om

 

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world.

 

Jai guru de va, jai guru de va

Jai guru de va, jai guru de va

Jai guru de va, Jai guru de va,

Jai guru de va

Fiona Apple - Fast As You Can Lyrics

Fiona Apple - Fast As You Can Video

I let the beast in too soon

I don't know how to live without my hand on his throat

I fight him always and still

Oh darling it's so sweet

You think you know how crazy

How crazy I am

You say you don't spook easy

You won't go, but I know

And I pray that you will

 

Fast as you can

Baby run, free yourself of me

Fast as you can

 

I may be soft in your palm

But I'll soon grow hungry for a fight

And I will not let you win

My pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will

Disprove your faith in man

So if you catch me trying to find my way into your

Heart from under your skin

 

Fast as you can

Baby scratch me out, free yourself

Fast as you can

Fast as you can

Baby scratch me out, free yourself

Fast as you can

 

Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift

But most of the time, it does

And I get to the place where I'm begging for a lift

Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was

And I'll be your girl if you say it's a gift

And you give me some more of your drugs

Yeah, I'll be your pet if you just tell me it's a gift

Cause I'm tired of whys choking on whys,

Just need a little because because

 

I let the beast in and then

I even tried forgiving him but it's too soon

So I'll fight again, again, again, again, again

And for a little while more

I'll soar the uneven wind

Complain and blame the sterile land

But if you're getting any bright ideas, quiet dear

I'm blooming within

 

Fast as you can

Baby wait watch me, I'll be out

Fast as I can

Maybe late but at least about

Fast as you can

Leave me, let this thing run its route

 

Fast as you can... (4x)

Fiona Apple - Limp Lyrics

Fiona Apple - Limp Video

You wanna make me sick;

You wanna lick my wounds,

Don't you, baby?

You want the badge of honor when you save my hide

But you're the one in the way

Of the day of doom, baby

If you need my shame to reclaim your pride

 

And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists

I never did anything to you, man

But no matter what I try

You'll beat me with your bitter lies

So call me crazy, hold me down

Make me cry; get off now, baby--

It wont be long till you'll be

Lying limp in your own hands

 

You feed the beast I have within me

You wave the red flag, baby you make it run run run

Standing on the sidelines, waving and grinning

You fondle my trigger, then you blame my gun

 

And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists

I never did anything to you, man

But no matter what I try

You'll beat me with your bitter lies

So call me crazy, hold me down

Make me cry; get off now, baby--

It wont be long till you'll be

Lying limp in your own hands

Fiona Apple - Paper Bag Lyrics

Fiona Apple - Paper Bag Video

I was staring at the sky

Just looking for a star

To pray on or wish on

Or something like that

I was having a sweet fix

Of a daydream of a boy

Whose reality, I knew,

Was a hopeless to be had

But then the dove of hope

Began its downward slope

And I believed for a moment that

My chances were

Approaching to be grabbed

But as it came down near,

So did a weary tear

I thought it was a bird,

But it was just a paper bag

 

Hunger hurts,

And I want him so bad, oh it kills

'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up

I got to fold 'Cause these hands are too shaky to hold

Hunger hurts but starvin' works

When it costs too much to love

 

And I went crazy again today

Looking for a strand to climb

Looking for a little hope

Baby said he couldn't stay

Wouldn't put his lips to mine

A fail to kiss is a fail to cope

I said, Honey, I don't feel so good,

Don't feel justified.

Come on put a little love here in my void

He said It's all in your head

And I said So's everything

But he didn't get it

I thought he was a man

But he was just a little boy

 

Hunger hurts, and I want him

So bad, oh it kills

'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up

I got to fold 'Cause these hands are too shaky to hold

Hunger hurts, but starving works

When it costs... too much to love

 

Hunger hurts, but I want him so bad, oh it kills

'Cause I know I am a mess that he don't wanna clean up

I got to fold because these hands are just too shaky to hold

Hunger hurts, but starving works me

When it costs... too much to love

 

Hunger hurts, but I want him so bad, oh it kills me

Because I know that I'm a mess that he don't wanna clean up

I got to fold because these hands are just too shaky to hold

Hunger hurts, but starving, it works

When it costs too much to love

Fiona Apple - Criminal Lyrics

Fiona Apple - Criminal Video

I've been a bad, bad girl

I've been careless with a delicate man

And it's a sad, sad world

When a girl will break a boy

Just because she can

 

Don't you tell me to deny it

I've done wrong and I wanna suffer for my sins

I've come to you cause I need guidance to be true

And I just don't know where I can begin

 

What I need is a good defense

Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal

And I need to be redeemed

To the one I've sinned against

Because he's all I ever knew of love

 

Heaven help me for the way I am

Save me from these evil deeds before I get them done

I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand

But I keep livin' this day

Like the next will never come

 

Oh help me, but don't tell me to deny it

I've got to cleanse myself

Of all these lies til I'm good enough for him

I've got a lot to lose

And I'm bettin' high so I'm beggin' you

Before it ends

Just tell me where to begin

 

What I need is a good defense

Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal

And I need to be redeemed

To the one I've sinned against

Because he's all I ever knew of love

 

Let me know the way

Before there's hell to pay

Give me room to lay the law and let me go

I've got to make a play

To make my lover stay

So what would an angel say

The devil wants to know

 

What I need is a good defense

Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal

And I need to be redeemed

To the one I've sinned against

Because he's all I ever knew of love
