I know my ways are unorthodox, but honey I got too much love to be settling down or waiting for the one I’m twenty-one and I like to rush in cause darling that’s the fun of it so four times a year, let’s fall in love We’ll have a Timeshare Romance when we’re in the same town a Timeshare Romance cuz I can’t settle down a Timeshare Romance and it’s all understood- we’ll leave out all the fighting and get down to the goods Now I could love a philosopher, comedian, photographer, an artist or musician, or a man good in the kitchen, but it seems to me it ends the same- every time we’re afraid to change but if we know it’s coming, it might ease the pain We’ll have a Timeshare Romance when we’re in the same town a Timeshare Romance cuz I can’t settle down a Timeshare Romance and it’s all understood- we’ll leave out all the fighting and get down to the goods But the truth is I always seem to find myself alone with only the comfort of numbers filling up my phone Well there must be a man who is all of these things, but once I find him I’ll have to give up all my flings…… (Forget it!) We’ll have a Timeshare Romance when we’re in the same town a Timeshare Romance cuz I can’t settle down a Timeshare Romance and it’s all understood- we’ll leave out all the fighting and get down to the goods

Tickle Train 02:19
Here comes the tickle train next stop is where you lay cuz I love to see your smiling face even if it’s only for the next four days Well, baby-baby, I can’t call you baby cuz you believe in Jesus and I believe in may be’s like- may be you’ll see that you might like to be out of the harbor and sailing the sea so here comes the tickle train now (chug-uh’s)… It could take you to a destination far beyond expectation if you’d like to see just pull back the curtain and take a moment to breathe, because I loved it when you picked me up, ran across the highway and dropped me in the mud I wiped my shoes on your jeans so when you finally washed them you had to think of me… Well here comes the tickle train now (chug-uh’s)… I hope when this song reaches your ears you won’t be offended or think I’m weird it’s just a simple homage to the short time we had even if it’s corny, I know it made you laugh here comes the tickle train now (chug-uh’s)…

Well I have been a lonely girl for so long I can’t see why anyone would want a girl as lonely as me See, I’ve been staying out and drinking booze until memory’s obsolete and I can’t even bare witness to my own menagerie until I wake up cold and sick praying that I could undo what I did even if I don’t know what that was at all but please don’t judge me for in due time I won’t bury my heart in hindsight and may be he could love a lonely girl Then I won’t wake up cold and sick Instead I’ll remember the touch of his lips and have him think I’ve really got it together Because when I do I’m quite the joy and he’d be such the lucky boy to have found a girl as lonely as me because I would love him deeply, madly, truly.

I swear I’ve cried a thousand tears behind closed doors alone this year Be smart now, girl, you must stay strong this sorrow will not last for long Everyone dreams without sleeping but waking nightmares can creep in breaking the clay you’ve made from dust adhering fear to your new cuts Don’t be afraid of being cut down this forest is full of a lack of sound Branches sway, they play to the rhythm find your roots before the division of the schism sets in Mother Earth- she gave you sweet life from the heavens, took the stars for your eyes She gave you skin so you could choose to swim either way, Father Time’s got your number pinned to the sins that you have created say “Only God can alleviate them!” but God’s too busy fighting these wars tell me, who’s chosen now? And who should be scorned? Well, well, Presidents and Queens alike have to say that they fight “The Good Fight” but as a young person in this day and age I know not to trust, but I know how to pray And I swear we’ve cried a thousand tears behind closed doors alone this year Be smart now children, we must stay strong this sorrow will not last for long

If you want to get away to my island let’s just build a bitchin’ boat and we’d be stylin’ (stylin’, to my island) There’d be lots of penguins cuz I always wanted one you could get whatever you want! As long as it don’t eat penguins… (“oh”s) Come with me, we’ll sail the sea just drifting ‘till we hit dry land If it storms and you get scared well don’t you worry- hold my hand Sittin’ in the shade eatin’ mangos, drinkin’ coconuts- We could have a dance party with only the two of us! (dance party, just you and me) We could train the animals like Swiss Family Robinson The parrot- she could open beers and monkey could carry ‘em (um…. Please get me one?) Come with me, we’ll sail the sea just drifting ‘till we hit dry land If it storms and you get scared well don’t you worry- hold my hand And we’ll be stylin’ to my island We’ll have a dance party just you and me on Penguin Island
