Birds of a Feather Clara Lofaro You still want someone to cradle you As you rocket to the moon While everybody’s watching You’re in a big balloon You hide behind a cloud to think While they all think you’re gone Treasure-hunting paradise And bringing presents home Chorus: And it’s a hard, hard line to keep hummin’ It’s been a long, long time a comin’ When the moon, moon goes a missin’ I’d like to hold onto the good times When all of the angels in my life Kiss me and tell me… We’re birds of a feather babe. Ba-ba-bara-ba-ba-bara-ba-ba-ba-ba (2x) You take a step outside the sky And wonder to the ground If all that you were searching Will ever make a sound You wonder if the dragon flowers Will ever know your name Why all the greatest memories Never choose to stay Chorus… Ba-ba-bara-ba-ba-bara-ba-ba-ba-ba (2x) Bridge And I see now, we all live… In our own world Our complicated something In our own world Making the best of what we find In our own world The clocks just go on ticking And the only thing we’re missing Is our life. Chorus (2x) Ba-ba-bara-ba-ba-bara-ba-ba-ba-ba (2x)

Bitch Go Off 02:30
Bitch Go Off Clara Lofaro You made me push You made me scream You made me beg to show you what I mean You made me fight You made me crawl I had to scratch my way through your wall Think you’re so cool Well, I’m not blind Didn’t your father teach you to be kind Bitch Go Off Save your day Shine up all your shoes And walk away Hey! Chorus: There’s no pretendin’ ‘cuz I won’t be spendin’ my time with you I’m just to busy now don’t have a tizzy, babe don’t be blue Don’t mean to scare you but I am prepared to if you don’t move I may be smilin’ but I’m reconcilin’ all I been through YOU MADE ME You made me laugh You made me crush Then like a pussy you put up a fuss Say I’m too wild Not yours to tame Don’t spoil my fun if you don’t wanna play HEY!! CHORUS Bridge: Where’s your whistle Where’s your fiddle Where’s your camera Come and see this Bitch Go Off Where’s your saddle Where’s your paddle Where’s your ladder Come and see this Bitch Go Off Come and see this Bitch Go Off Come and see this Bitch Go Off Come and see this Bitch Go…. CHORUS

No Way Home 03:41
No Way Home Clara Lofaro Gray skies, blue birds Outcast their backdrop Stairwells and alleybies Riddled with Picasso’s art CHORUS I write on these sidewalks I paint on this grass I sing to the bluebirds I live an outcast With No Way Home Endless dirt roads Freedom is winding by Seems life’s a crossroad Forever asking why CHORUS I write on these sidewalks I paint on this grass I sing for my mother I live off your cash With No Way Home BRIDGE You don’t wanna marry me I’m not the kind of girl To give birth to a family To leave them insecure You don’t wanna marry me I live my life too fast To be your mother and your friend To trust our love to last Past… Gray skies Past many stairs Through meadows and graveyards Past airplanes and dragon flowers All I have is my brave heart CHORUS I reign on these sidewalks I feed on this grass I dance with the bluebirds I savor the past With No Way Home Bridge… I reign on these sidewalks I smoke up this grass I reach for my father I beg love to last Past No Way Home.

Waterfall 04:44
Waterfall Clara Lofaro I bleed for you From this seedy room I will flee for you Pave the way to a new day I conceive with you All I’d never do I believe in you This will stay, Oh let it stay There’s nothing in this world that can begin to Explain the way my heart is tangled in two I’ll scrawl under this waterfall And start a river of it all Until it paves a channel home to you And all I need to know babe (Is) Will you catch me when I’m fallin’ Give me somethin’ to hold onto You just scream my name And I’ll aim for you You could wrap your arms around me Feel like somethin’ good has found me You just scream my name and I’ll be waitin’ I will breathe you in Do it all in sin Take this begging heart And make it sing, Oh let it sing You will have me then Where the river bends On this jaded stone We’ll let it all go again There’s nothing in this world that can begin to Explain the way my heart is tangled in two I’ll scrawl under this waterfall And start a river of it all Until it paves a channel home to you And all I need to know babe (Is) Will you catch me when I’m fallin’ Give me somethin’ to hold onto You just scream my name And I’ll aim for you You could wrap your arms around me Feel like somethin’ good has found me You just scream my name and I’ll be waitin’ Repeat Chorus

Blue 03:44
BLUE Clara Lofaro It’s alright boy I’ll be doin’ fine boy Though I’m standin’ at the crossroads And I don’t know what to do I’ve a blue heart And it’s a late start Suck another cigarette And try to follow through It’s alright babe We’ll be doin’ fine babe Though it’s better than it’s ever been It’s still not right Oh I am careless Yes, I am fearless Oh, I know that you can’t win, Fighting your whole life CH He listens He cares Tells me that he’s goin nowhere The sound of his voice, Like he hasn’t got a choice He gives me his time Holds his breath to wait for mine He quiets the noise Like it’s what he most enjoys…. We’ll be doin’ fine It’s alright child We’re doin’ fine child Though I’ll never feel quite high enough, I owe it to be true Guess I am hopeless In this solace The odds were built only to lose And I may break down tonight CHORUS

Perfekt World Clara Lofaro Vs: If it were just you and me The birds and flees No big big house Or limousine Would you still follow me through town Glad I’d be around If I had no news for you No fancy words No high, high hopes Or black and blue pearls Would you still call me every day Be sure that I’m ok CH: It’s not fair to say it’s easy to be who I am And the world will make you crazy if you give it all you have What don’t love you’ll make you stronger Now I’m stronger than a brick If you could listen to my heart I’d give you it Vs: If there were mouths to feed A size fourteen A piano room with dusty dreams Would you still look at me that way Before you went away If I never married him But loved his boy Had our ups and downs No perfect joy Would you still hold your head up high Conjure up some pride CH: It’s not fair to say it’s easy to be who I am And the world will make you crazy if you give it all you have What don’t love you’ll make you stronger Now I’m stronger than a brick If you could listen to my heart I’d give you it BRIDGE Where did we go wrong believing in this Perfect World Where all our mothers and daughters we perfect girls Where did we go wrong believing in this perfect life Where all our fathers and brothers were always right Vs: If I never climbed that mountain high in Spain Looking down from the aliens window pain Would my fantasies still run Leave the open world undone If I never wrote the song that bought our freedom By a long, long river close to home Truth is I don’t know how to get there I don’t know what it is CHORUS It’s not fair to say it’s easy to be who I am Though the world has made me stronger, It’s still stronger than I am What don’t love you’ll make you crazy Now I’ve fallen like a brick If you could crawl under my heart I’d give you it If you could listen to my heart I’d give you it

Don’t Punish Me Clara Lofaro He’s runnin’ down the highway With ribbons in his hair Bumpers going sideways Feathers everywhere He wants to catch the world by storm Wants life to take a chair Bumpers parting sideways Feathers stop and stare “I’ll meet you at my funeral.” he says. You can’t stop me here alive or dead I need some help, a doctor or a priest Don’t punish me. Help me out or leave CHORUS Ooo…Don’t punish me Ooo…For what you see Ooo…Don’t punish me Ooo…You’re blind to be Ooooo- Punishin’ me You see I was a doctor before I was a priest Found my faith in healin’, lost it in disease I traveled all this country, to find it all the same I give you tears for laughter, come now let it rain Come now let it rain This doctor had a baby, tried to make her mine Raised her right on Sundays, girl kept crying all the time She thought that I would listen, thought that I would care Too busy healing nothing, taught her a life unfair CHORUS You listen to a doctor You bow down to a priest Appreciate a mother Leave a drag queen beggin’ please I tell you I’m not crazy Just wakin’ up too late Take me out or leave now But don’t punish me See, she wen’t runnin’ down the highway With ribbons in her hair Her mother didn’t listen Her father didn’t care She thought she’d catch the world by storm Thought life would take a chair Bumpers going sideways Feathers everywhere Bumpers going sideways Feathers Everywhere Bumpers going sideways Feathers everywhere CHORUS

Fall 04:29
Fall Clara Lofaro Won’t you come down off that ledge I’m not tryin’ to make you fall Come down off that ledge You don’t have to try that hard There’s an anniversary gonna pass us by On that snowy day Let the snowflakes go down slow Cuz he’s not coming out to play Come down off that ledge I’m not tryin’ to make you fall Come down off that ledge You don’t have to try that hard And you work til it hurts and you drain every bit Of distance between you and love And you pay what it takes to redeem every break That builds you a life in this world And you fall She came down off that ledge On that winter day She came down off that ledge No, she’s not coming out to play And the train tracks call your name As you hustle up a fight Oh, the tunnel’s all a glow But there’s no train tonight So you walk home til morning And the city’s breaking down Oh, the ghosts keep you moving When there’s no one around You call out her name but it’s not the same And the ocean is starting to cry For the fight fought for good and the lady who stood Alone in an indulgent crowd You try to forget that there’s nothing left To give you a reason to live You try to pretend you’ll see her again As you open your arms and dive in Oh, we work ‘til it hurts and we drain every bit Of distance between us and love And we pay what it takes to redeem every break That builds us a life in this world And we fall We Fall We Fall We Fall

Fever 04:34
Fever Clara Lofaro You burned the pictures You watched them crumble You caught a fever Now it is gone You called me princess Though indirectly I caught the fever Now it is gone It is gone It is gone I caught the fever Now it is gone It is gone It is gone You burned the picture Now it is gone You watched a filmstrip She smelled just like me You got the shivers They quickly passed You wrote a letter I cried a little You mailed a tissue But they were gone They were gone They were gone You mailed a tissue But they were gone They are gone They are gone You got the shivers Now they are gone You healed my memory You cleansed my body We let it linger For much too long My heart won’t see you My hips don’t feel you You said forever Forever’s gone Now, it’s gone It is gone We let it linger Now it is gone It is gone It is gone You said forever Forever’s gone It is gone It is gone I caught your fever Now it is gone It is gone It is gone You burned the picture Now it is gone

Tractor 05:01
Tractor Clara Lofaro Ma, my hair is longer than it’s ever been I’ve done it all backwards as I work at this machine This machine called living- that is just getting by This broken-down tractor that keeps me alive The drain sifts my efforts, I forget how to breathe I forget this is worth it, there is nothing that I need. Never known an easy battle, never walked a straight line And it takes too much out of me, just to survive CHORUS You caught me on my last rope Waiting for the crane To blow me away Handed me your last hope Waiting til I try And I don’t know why… All that was so precious is nothing to me now There’s no more room for bullshit, the bittersweet’s gone sour Catch up all the birdies and crush ‘em in a cage I’m not going to hold my waste, I know that I can’t save them- Chorus… Roamed the dirt to find someone who’d love and let me be One who’d look me in the eye and kiss me as I bleeded (pause) His fragrance warms my soft spot, it lives in my hair There to give me one more chance, we both know life’s no fair As you… CHORUS Catch me on my last hope Waiting for the crane To blow me away Handing me your last rope Waiting til I try And I don’t know why Don’t know why...
