Snapshot of St. Louis
Lisa Bouchelle (St. Louis, MO 2007 while on tour)
St. Louis took you from me for a while
But she gave back a memory, a song and a smile
Reminded me I don’t want this all to end
I waved goodbye to a silver structure
That reached for a sky it tried to puncture
But it came back down to touch St. Louis again
..... Just one more time
Gotta kool my engines for a while
And come back down...
Much less than perfect than you’d ever wanna know
You’ve got to save the girl from herself
Sometimes it’s worse than I would ever let it show
You’ve got to save the girl from herself
But I really wanna love you tonite
I really wanna love you tonite
With a hotel key as a paperweight
I lay back down to ponder my fate
And slip into the dreams that I can’t steer
Where you and me never say goodbye
And I hug the world with the songs I cry
Then we lay back down and you pull me very near
..... Just one more time
Gotta kool my engines for a while
And come back down...
Much less than perfect than you’d ever wanna know
You’ve got to save the girl from herself
Sometimes it’s worse than I would ever let it show
You’ve got to save the girl from herself
But I really wanna love you tonite
I really wanna love you tonite
Yeah, I really wanna love you tonite
I waved goodbye to a silver structure
That reached for a sky it tried to puncture
But it came back down to touch St. Louis again .....
Where You Are
(Bouchelle) 2008...for my mom...
Well I wish you could have seen me, when set that pan on fire
With the Asian food I tried to cook, with jet lag from the trip back from Japan
I did not inherit your culinary art, oh can ya see that from
Where You Are?
Today out of the blue, I smiled when I thought of you
And the day that you rode bikes with me, around our neighbor for seven hours
God, sometimes the past just seems so far, depending on
Where You Are
So are you flyin’ thru the great wide open
in the cold nite sky
Are you runnin’ with the wolves
With that wild look in your grey eyes
I am climbin’ up ladder,
I am climbin’ up the charts
I am climbing up to heaven
So I can be one of those starz
And feel a little closer to
Where You Are
You were in your own world at my graduation in our yard
Ya twisted with your girlfriends, to trip the light nostalgic one more time
Captive as a firefly in jar, I hope you’re freer
Where You Are
So are you flyin’ thru the great wide open
in the cold nite sky
Are you runnin’ with the wolves
With that wild look in your grey eyes
I am climbin’ up ladder,
I am climbin’ up the charts
I am climbing up to heaven
So I can be one of those starz
And feel a little closer to
Where You Are
Well we rolled back on your bed, our laughter dizzying my head,
Our common slighty twisted humour cultivated by two lives much less than charmed
I said they told us “rock bottom wasn’t far”, I’m startin’ to think that’s
Where We Are
The laughter left your eyes, like someone ripped off your disguise, And I knew right then and there rock bottom wasn’t something you could reach alive
Life’s graded on a curve, and loss can raise the bar - It all depends on
Where You Are
So are you flyin’ thru the great wide open
in the cold nite sky
Are you runnin’ with the wolves
With that wild look I know in your grey eyes
I am climbin’ up ladder, Mom
I’m climbin’ up the charts
I’ve been climbing over bodies
And up the neck of this guitar
I am climbing to avenge the finite
For a trophy time or pain can’t mar
I’m climbing up to heaven
So I can be one of those starz
I am climbing up to up to heaven
So I can be one of those starz
I am climbing up to up to heaven
I’m gonna be one of those starz
And maybe feel a little closer to
Where You Are
A little closer to
Where You Are
WHEN I AM FREE
(Bouchelle/Cowden)
When I am free
I’ll cut the ties that hold me
All the lies they sold me
And I’ll see
Never look back ‘cuz there’s no reason
Free like the birds
And the trees....
With the weight off my shoulders and I’ll run faster
So naturally me....
When I breathe a little easier
And life’s a little breezier
And I’ll feel as if I could fly
How light the air
How deep the sky
When I-I-ah-ah-ah-I.......
I am free
Time to move on, all the pressure’s gone
It’s time you see
Back where I started,
Check out light-hearted me
When I breathe a little easier
And life’s a little breezier
And I’ll feel as if I could fly
How light the air
How deep the sky
When I-I-ah-ah-ah-I.......am free
Tryin’, tryin’, tryin’
Draggin’ me down ‘til I lost track of ‘why’
Runnin’ behind, changin’ my mind
Tryin’ to please everyone, I forgot about myself
So if you’re all okay now, I’d like to slip away now
...slip away, slip away, slip away, slip away into the sky.........
I-I-ah-ah-ah-I.......am free
When I breathe a little easier
And life’s a little breezier
And I’ll feel as if I could fly
How light the air
How deep the sky
How light the air
How deep the sky
When I am free
Tequila Talkin’
(Bouchelle/Eddie)
He told me I was beautiful just when I needed to hear it
I let down my guard and the liquor was hard, the tequila lifted my spirts
That silver tongued devil said he was on the level, so I guess it really wasn’t my fault
But it was only the tequila talkin’, shoulda took it with a grain of salt
She told me I was adequate, she said the pickin’s were slim
I bit my tongue cause she was somewhat young, and I wanted to feel young again
That little sweet talker coulda been a street walker, she was hotter than Georgia asphault
It was only the tequila talkin’, shoulda took it with a grain of salt
God, You’re so beautiful Boy, you’re just my type
I could really fall for you Don’t Think I can drive home tonite
Will ya be a gentleman? Will ya care if I don’t call?
It’s just the tequila talkin’, letz take it with a grain of salt
Coyote Ugly on the Spectravision in the not so Super 8
He said the sex would be amazin’ but it really wasn’t that great
Blame it on the lies we told, blame it on the alcohol
It was only the tequila talkin’ shoulda took it with a grain of salt
God, You’re so beautiful Boy, you’re just my type
I could really fall for you Don’t Think I can drive home tonite
Will ya be a gentleman? Will ya care if I don’t call?
It’s just the tequila talkin’, letz take it with a grain of salt
It’s just the tequila talkin’, letz take it with a grain of salt
CONFUSED
(Bouchelle/Cowden)
You think I know what to say
You think I know what to do
But as I stand here today
I’m just feelin’ Confused
You’d think I’d think of a way
You’d think I’d think it all thru
The way I’m thinkin’ today
I’m just feelin’ Confused
Which direction to go?
I’ve considered a few
But I get all wound around
And wind up feelin’ Confused
Lately I’ve got nothin’
Nothin’ but my time
Lately I’ve got nothin’
Tanglin’ up my mind
Your eyes are so far way
And you just seem so removed
You’ve got me held down,
spun ‘round on shaky ground and
Confused
You’ve got me held down,
spun ‘round on shaky ground and
Confused
I’m feelin’ Confused!
Guitar Solo
I’m so Co-o-onfused
You’ve got me feelin’ so Co-o-onfused
Lately I’ve got nothin’
Nothin’ but my time
Lately I’ve got nothin’
Tanglin’ up my mind ... And I find...
I picked a part to portray___
Cause I had nothing to lose
But that’s just up to today
Til I stop feelin’ Confused
I can’t change who I am
You ask me but I refuse!!!!
You’ve got me held down,
spun ‘round on shaky ground and
Confused
You’ve got me held down,
spun ‘round on shaky ground and
Confused
La la la la la la la la

Jump In!
(Bouchelle)
(Jacksonville, FL 2007 on tour)
Here I go again down another road where you said I shouldn’t go
Ya didn’t believe I would really leave now I’m sayin’ “I told you so”
Now I understand you’ve been feelin’ depressed
I do agree it’s kinda dangerous
But, my soul was screamin’. I was in a mess
‘Started wonderin’ if I feared my life more than my...
...death is inevitable. You can’t avoid it.
And your tires can get tired of rollin’ down that same old road
When there’s nowhere left to go
You just gotta Jump In!
Yeah I gotta Jump In!
So whether I sink or swim
I’ve gotta Jump In!
And when that cold water hits me, if I stop to catch my breath
It’s better than standin’ on the edge, just feelin’ scared to death
So I gotta Jump In!
I understand, I understand,
I understand you’ve been feelin’ depressed
And I do agree it’s kinda dangerous
But, my soul was screamin’. I was in a mess
‘Started wonderin’ if I feared my life more than my...
...Death is inevitable. You can’t avoid it.
And your tires can get tired of rollin’ down that same old road
So, if there’s nowhere left to go
You just gotta Jump In!
Yeah I gotta Jump In!
So whether I lose or win
I’ve gotta Jump In!
And when that cold water hits me, if I stop to catch my breath
I’ll just focus on Joan Of Arc, or Queen Elizabeth
But I gotta Jump In!
Yeah I gotta Jump In!
Oh I gotta Jump In!
I gotta Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Yeah I gotta Jump In!

Heaven On Credit
(Bouchelle/Burger)
So much for the 'safe side' of your life
Never thought you'd really cross that line
But now you're playing it over and over in your mind
I could be your angel of sweetness
The feeling you can't fight
I could be what you only dream of
Even if it's just for tonight
Kiss me! Kiss me!
No one else will see us
With the exception of the moon and Jesus
I'm not worried that they're gonna tell....
C'mon and
Touch me! Touch me!
No one else will know it
It'll be our secret, I promise not to show it
Take me to Heaven On Credit
Even if we owe a little debt to Hell
Take me to Heaven On Credit
Even if we owe a little debt
I can see your hidden emotions
Unsure about where to go
Pressed close up against your body, too close to take it slow
I should think of the consequences
I should think about the cost
But in a moment rare and priceless, consequences can get lost
Kiss me! Kiss me!
No one else will see us
With the exception of the moon and Jesus
I'm not worried that they're gonna tell....
C'mon and
Touch me! Touch me!
No one else will know it
It'll be our secret, I promise not to show it
Take me to Heaven On Credit
Even if we owe a little debt to Hell
Take me to Heaven On Credit
Even if we owe a little debt to Hell
Do you know, do you know how I need you
Do you know, do you know how I need your love? There's no denying
Do you feel, do you feel what I'm feeling?
Do you feel how much, how far, how high we could be flying?
Kiss me! Kiss me!
No one else will see us
With the exception of the moon and Jesus
I'm not worried that they're gonna tell....
C'mon and
Touch me! Touch me!
No one else will know it
It'll be our secret, I promise not to show it
Take me Take me
Kiss me! Kiss me!
No one else will see us
With the exception of the moon and Jesus
I'm not worried that they're gonna tell....
C'mon and
Touch me! Touch me!
No one else will know it
It'll be our secret, I promise not to show it
Take me to Heaven On Credit
Even if we owe a little debt to Hell
Take me to Heaven On Credit
Even if we owe a little debt to Hell
We’re goin’ to Heaven On Credit
Love Happenz
(Bouchelle/Brody/Warden)
Love Happenz
it doesn’t care if you’re ready
Love Happenz
just when your standin’ too steady
Love Happenz
turn u upside down
Love Happenz
Love Happenz
You got places to see
You got people to be and a long list of plans
U got a sound mind, and all the time in the world is in your hands
Your kool and so convinced u are the one drivin’ this train
But that’s a fool’s assumption with a power so strong
You’ll never be so happy to be so wrong when
Love Happenz
knocks your life of course
Love Happenz
with such a beautiful force
Love Happenz
changes everything
Love Happenz
Love Happenz
It’s a game that has no rules
Except you can play by yourself
Just lie and say that you don’t need no one else
Logic tells you where you stand
But logic doesn’t have the last say
Cause life ain’t simple and life ain’t neat
Your heart’ll pull rug right out from under your feet when
Love Happenz
It’ll never ask
Love Happenz
If just a little too fast
Love Happenz
Like nothin’ else
Love Happenz
Love Happenz
It’s out of your hands, it’s something you can’t control
Cause if the sun wanna shine it will
If the rain wanna fall it will
Follow your dreams, but still...
Leave room between
The plans in the life you build
The spaces that love will fill
Hold On Tight Until....
Love Happenz
It doesn’t care if your ready
Love Happenz
Just when you’re standin too steady
Love Happenz
Turns you upside down
Love Happenz
Don’t worry
Love Happens
Love Happenz
Kitchen
(Bouchelle/Brody/Warden)
Hungry for so long, in an interesting position
I approached the witness stand with a weak sense of conviction
NYC out to West Coast, I said “I think I got sensory overload”
I heard “Hey there Girl just stop your bitchin’”
If ya can’t take the heat, Get Outta The Kitchen!
You Got The Rock That Rock The Rock, Girl
You Got The Rock That Rock The Rock World
You Got The Rock That Rock The Rock–Rock–Rock!
You Got The Rock That Rock The Rock, Girl
Sorry that I’m late, I couldn’t get away, please excuse my detention
You know me, there’s so many things that require my intervention
Red eye out to Cali, Yeah, they’ll be turnin’ the pressure up
I heard “Hey there Girl just stop your bitchin’”
If ya can’t take the heat, Get Outta The Kitchen!
You Got The Rock That Rock The Rock, Girl
You Got The Rock That Rock The Rock World
You Got The Rock That Rock The Rock–Rock–Rock!
You Got The Rock That Rock The Rock, Girl
I gotta keep on keep on keep on keep on keepin’ on
What moves your soul, defies definition
If ya can’t take the heat, Get Outta The Kitchen, Kitchen, Kitchen
You Got The Rock That Rock The Rock, Girl
You Got The Rock That Rock The Rock World
You Got The Rock That Rock The Rock–Rock–Rock!
You Got The Rock That Rock The Rock, Girl
What move’s your soul defies definition
If ya can’t take the heat, Get Outta The Kitchen!
There’s no stopping pure ambition
If ya can’t take the heat, Get Outta The Kitchen!
Life’s a play with no audition
If ya can’t take the heat, Get Outta The Kitchen!
“Hey there Girl just stop your bitchin’”
If ya can’t take the heat, Get Outta The Kitchen!
Reinvent
(Bouchelle/Brody/Warden)
Feel like I’m goin’ nowhere
Feel like I need a change
Feel like I let you hold me down
Today things will be different
They don’t have to be the same
When I can turn it all around
Though you say that you know that I won’t make it
That’s ok, I know my heart and you can’t break it
I could sit around and cry
I could try to wonder why
I could let all my dreams die
Or I could reinvent myself
This time the wheel is turning my way
Today’s an open highway
I’m gonna reinvent myself
I’m gonna make some changes
I should’ve made before
And now I know the time is right
I feel a transformation
I see an open door
I found my runway, I’ll take flight
Though you say that you know that I won’t make it
That’s ok, I know my heart and you can’t break it
I could sit around and cry
I could try to wonder why
I could let all my dreams die
Or I could reinvent myself
This time the wheel is turning my way
Today’s an open highway
I’m gonna reinvent myself
My dreams are no delusion
Not subject to your intrusion
I won’t let you in
Change my hair and change my style
Find my groove and find my smile
Uncover who I am
I could sit around and cry
I could try to wonder why
I could let all my dreams die
Or I could reinvent myself
This time the wheel is turning my way
Today’s an open highway
I’m gonna reinvent myself
Rediscover Redefine Reassess Redesign
Reintroduce Realize Revive Repair Reenergize
Reemerge Reignite Renew Redeem Reorganize
Reinspire Recreate Repair Restore Rejunvenate
My Own Holiday
(Bouchelle/Brody/Warden)
I've got a tendency to trip and fall
When I get a tendency to wanna have it all
I've got inside of me a foolish pride
I've gotta let it go this time on
My Own Holiday
Let my soul get away
Hear my song and let it play
My way!
When I was a little girl, my dreams were big
I wonder what became of that little kid
I need to find a way somewhere, somehow
That takes me to a place
Between there and now on
My Own Holiday
Let my soul get away
Hear my song and let it play
My way!
This time I mean it
And I won't let it rest
I won't get caught between it
And I won't be second guessed
I want my
My Own Holiday
Let my soul get away
Hear my song and let it play
My way!
My Own Holiday
Let my soul get away
Hear my song and let it play
Cause it's time to fly away
On
My Own Holiday
Gotta get away
Now
Look Inside Myself
I gotta
Live or I'll Just Die
Yeah I
I---Need My
Own Holiday, Well My-
Very Very Own Holiday
My Very Own Holiday
My Very Own Holiday
My Way
My Way
ooooo
doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
