Not Ready Yet
(E/Jon Brion)
Beautiful Freak

There's a world outside
And I know 'cause I've heard talk
In my sweetest dreams
I would go out for a walk

But I don't think I'm ready yet
Not feeling up to it now
Just not that steady yet
And I don't need you telling me how

There's some happiness
And my stone face cracks again
Maybe sometime sooner or later

But I don't think I'm ready yet
Not feeling up to it now
Just not that steady yet
And I don't need you telling me how

So if I leave my room
Don't you tell me to lighten up
Maybe sometime sooner or later

But I don't think I'm ready yet
Not feeling up to it now
Just not that steady yet
And I don't need you telling me how

Novocain For The Soul
(E/Mark Goldenberg)
Beautiful Freak

Life is hard
And so am I
You better give me something
So I don't die

Novocaine for the soul
Before I sputter out

Life is white
And I am black
Jesus and his lawyer
Are coming back

Oh my darling, will you be here
Before I sputter out

Guess who's living here
With the great undead
This paint-by-numbers life
Is fucking with my head
Once again

Life is good
And I feel great
'cause mother says I was
a great mistake

Novocaine for the soul
You'd better give me something
To fill a hole
Before I sputter out

Nowheresville
(E/Parthenon Huxley)
A Man Called E

I want to see Paris
Insane on the Seine
I want to do that bull run thing in Spain
I want to go to England
And walk down Penny Lane
Have to buy an island
To wash away my pain

I'm stuck in mud
Spinning my wheels
And I'm all alone on the
Road to Nowheresville

I want to meet a little girl
With French foriegn lips
And introduce her to my trip
I want to smile on the Nile
Hold her hand in Japan
Last things first for all my plans

I'm stuck in mud
Spinning my wheels
And I'm all alone on the
Road to Nowheresville

I'm on my way
I'm almost nowhere
I'm almost everything I swore I'd never be
When I get there
Then I go somewhere
I'm going to pay my last respects
And get the hell out of there
Out of nowhere

I'm stuck in mud
Spinning my wheels
And I'm all alone
on the Road to Nowheresville

Spinning my wheels
And I'm all alone on the
Road to Nowheresville
To Nowheresville
