American Thighs Era

Aurora Nina Gordon 4:05

How could you be everything
We were cracking you up to be?
We're cracking ourselves up too
We're cracking ourselves up to be you

Had you in my hand now,
Where'd you go, Aurora?
See you up ahead,
But I don't know if I can go
As far as you go

Everything keeps happening
And its happening to me
I'm losing sight of its meaning
You blew away the meaning

I had it in my hand now,
Where'd it go, Aurora?
I see you up ahead,
But I don't know if I can go
As far as you go

And everyone keeps telling me that this is good
I needed you to tell me it was good, too

Had you in my hand
Now, where'd you go, Aurora?
I see you up ahead
But I don't know if I can go
As far as you go

Halloween Day Nina Gordon

My life, just got grim
My life, on account of him
You had a chance

You could have made it again
Are you really gonna marry her on
Halloween Day
Halloween Day

Your wife is torn apart
Beware of her haunted heart
I thought you had a chance

I thought you'd make it again
I never really thought you'd marry her on
Halloween Day
Halloween Day

And something's spooky in the pit of my heart
And something's stirring in the trunk of my car
Under this itching on the roof of my mouth says
Don't go out
Don't go out
Don't go out after
go out after dark

After dark
After dark on
Halloween Day
Halloween Day

My life, just got grim
My life, on account of him
On account of him

Hey Little Ghost Nina Gordon

Hey little ghost
Are you haunting me right now?
Cause I feel a little chill
And the door's not open
Anyway
I love you when your gone
Oh, I love you when your gone

Origin: Played at various live shows before Seether


She's A Brain Nina Gordon 2:20

Take me I am yours
You don't have to beg and plead when I'm finished with your body

She's a brain

She is not quite what I wanted
She is not quite what I need
Someone said she was cerebral
But I don't know what that means,
Please explain

She's a brain

Take me I am yours
Take me I am yours
She said, take me I implore you
Don't you know that really
When she's finished with my body,
Does she say she's going to pour me down the drain?

She's a brain

Eight Arms To Hold You Era

Cock Of Nothing Nina Gordon 2:47

Hold me up, I cannot stand
I am nothing, I'm your man
If you burn, I know you can
I'm a man and I'm your man

Hold me up, I'll hold you down
And you'll be thankful you have found a man
Like me

If I'm bad, you'll smack my hand
Little baby, little man
Forty pounder in the sand
Cock of nothing, I'm your man

Hold me up, I'll hold you down
And you'll be thankful you have found a man
Like me

Oh no, here I go
See, I can't connect if I can't control
And I
See I can't release if i can't let go
And I can't let you go, whoa

Hold me up, I'll hold you down
And you'll be thankful you have found a man
Like me

Hey Lifesaver Nina Gordon

Inspiration,
Well it wasn't divine
And it wasn't mine
It was yours
Hey lifesaver
You know you're not my flavor anymore
Your life has come and gone
Sleeping later, dreaming longer
I know how it feels

Origin: Played in Baltimore 97' before Venus Man Trap


One More Page Of Insincerity Please Nina Gordon 3:10

Waste of paper and ink
Biding my time
Avoiding sleep
Preventing health
Trying to satisfy myself

The day is over
I can't get over it
I must move on
When it is gone
One more page of insincerity please

Sleeper Car Nina Gordon 4:05

Bright you are
Bigger than the both of us
Though I'm a star
I can't burn that bright

Tiger car
Swerving forward into us
Now here we are

Sleeper car
Now you're backing into me
Oh, where you are
Feels good for now
Although my arms
Ache harder than they ever have
You drive so far

Sleeper car
Now you're backing into me
Oh, where you are
Feels good for now
Sleeper car
Now you're backing into me

Sleeper car
Now you're backing into me
Oh, where you are
Feels good for now
Although my arms
Ache harder than they ever have
You drive so far, yeah
You drive so far
You drive so hard
You drive so hard

The Speed Of Candy Nina Gordon 3:04

Panic
Frenzy
My love is near
Panic
Frenzy
My love is here

But there's one thing
I know I need you to deliver me
With all the speed of candy
Whoa, I'm a sugar queen, so
Shoot me with the speed
That I need

Panic
Five a.m.
My love sleeps
Panic
Six a.m.
My mind creeps

But there's one thing
I know I need you to deliver me
With all the speed of candy
Whoa, I'm a sugar queen, so
Shoot me with the speed
That I need

And when it's over
My teeth will be like glue
Is it true that's all I need?
Come on and feed me candy
Candy

Whoa, we're all on the sugar team, so
Shoot me with the speed
That I need

It's the speed that I need
It's the speed that I need
It's the speed

Tonight and the Rest of My Life Era

Black and Blonde Nina Gordon 4:15

What's that sound?
You got me hanging on,
Listen to confessions on the telephone.

Hear me now.
You beat me black and blonde
Somebody tell me
What the hell is going on?

God save the middle child
She's never what she seems.
Can't blame the middle child
She's drowning in her dreams.

Dumb me down.
You got the wrong address
I'm the mortar and the pestal not a garlic press.

Beware the middle child
She'll bring you to your knees.
She's just a little child
That's fallen inbetween.
Save the middle child
She's never what she seems.
Can't blame the middle child
She's drowning in her dreams.

Sleep little child.
I forgive you
And for all the tears I've caused.
I'm sorry too.

Hear me now.
You beat me black and blonde
Somebody tell me
What hell is going on now.

Beware the middle child
She'll bring you to your knees.
She's just a little child
That's fallen inbetween.
Save the middle child
She's never what she seems.
Can't blame the middle child
She's drowning.

The ring in my ears from playing too loud.
I hear the ocean
I hear the crowd.
