Sia Album

My mother's afraid of the subway
It's a living bad dream
I hold her hand as the doors close
And she pales and stifles a scream
Ali's afraid of Ad-libbing
Of improvising at jams
She is not very happy right now
And spends all her money on grams
Ade is afraid of commitment
So Carla dumped him today
She is very disappointed
She was hoping he'd beg her to stay
Ayo he just wants a girlfriend
He's afraid of dying alone
He doesn't go out very much
Sits at home a lot getting stoned

You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peeps
There is usually one thing that keeps
Us off track
It is fear, It is fear, It is fear

Ella is worried about her weight
She won't eat in public anymore
She is fucking her ex again
When they've finished
She sleeps on the floor
Nate has a heart of gold
But give it away he will not
His mother abandoned him at ten
It's a pain he has never forgot
Mary's afraid of herself
Her sentences often cut half
She will never give her own opinion
She's afraid that people might laugh
And I am afraid of sharks
I will not swim out past my head
And sometimes I worry
My boyfriend will die
My first love is already dead

You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peeps
There is usually one thing that keeps
Us off track
It is fear, It is fear, It is fear

You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peeps
There is usually one thing that keeps
Us off track
It is fear, It is fear, It is fear

Candy is having a baby
She fears she will be like her mom
Her friends say relax take a
Deep breath
And march to a different drum
Sachas afraid of her Marco
She think's that it's all her fault
But if he did what he does to a
Stranger
He'd be locked up and charged
With assault

You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peeps
There is usually one thing that keeps
Us off track

I eat food to satisfy my hunger
I drink water to quench my thirst
I use my mouth and air to blow balloon up
I prick with pin to watch it burst
To make noise I use my breathe
To unlock doors I use a key
When I'm looking for something I use my eyes
I use booze to unlock me

I sweep so I can sleep
I sweep so I can sleep

Sweep Sweep Sweep Sweep Sweep

I wear shoes so I can run
As to avoid the broken glass
I wear the pants because they suit me
And to discourage the pinchin' of ass
I'll tell a joke to make you laugh
I'll close the door to have a cry
They say that change and pain is a positive thing
Have I changed since you died

I Sweep so I can sleep
I Sweep so I can sleep

Sweep Sweep Sweep Sweep Sweep

Don't ask me why I smoke
I don't know
But I drink to get drunk

Don't ask me why I smoke
I don't know
But I drink to get drunk

Don't ask me why I smoke
I don't know
But I drink to get drunk

Don't ask me why I smoke
I don't know

I'm sitting in the car again
Waiting for you
You said you'd be a minute
But you've been twenty two
See you've got to do your hair
And get it just right
Sometimes you're in the bathroom
For half of the night

And I'm waiting for you again
Yes I'm waiting for you
And I'm waiting for you again
Tell me what can I do
And I'm waiting for you again
Yes I'm waiting for you
And I'm waiting for you again
Tell me what can I do

Now I'm sitting by the phone again
Waiting for your call
You'd said you'd phone at two
And it's a quarter past four
Now I'm standing out the front
Again
It's late at night
And I'm truly sick to death of
Sleazy men
Undressing me with their eyes

And I'm waiting for you again
Yes I'm waiting for you
And I'm waiting for you again
Tell me what can I do
And I'm waiting for you again
Yes I'm waiting for you
And I'm waiting for you again
Tell me what can I do

Now I'm back back from
The theater
I watched the show alone
I waited for you and
I missed half act one
Have you never heard
Of the phone
I don't like being
Taken for granted
I'm too nice for my own good
See I do what I say
And i say what I do
Is it too much to expect
That you could
I wish you would

I ain't waiting for you no more
I ain't waiting for you
I ain't waiting for you no more
Go find another fool
I ain't waiting for you no more
I ain't waiting for you
I ain't waiting for you no more
It's the usual coup
I ain't waiting for you no more
I ain't waiting for you
I ain't waiting for you no more
May I show you the door
I ain't waiting for you no more
I ain't waiting for you
I ain't waiting for you no more

Without a sound ever heard
Without a lesson I have learned
You are foolish
And diluted

Too many lies have you burned
Where there’s eyes to be found
This seems life’s underground

But even if you had it all
You would find
I could never let you stay

'Cause you blow it all away
You blow it al away
Blow it all away

If you go
I will stall

Yes I see it
Yes I feel it
You have no oppressions at all

But if life is truly devoured
I'll strip your bare 'till the truth comes out

But even if you had it all
You would find

You blow it all
You blow it all away
Blow it all away
Blow it all, blow it all, blow it all... away

Forever is your mind to be naive
Remember it will bring us to our years
You blow it all away

But even if you had it all
You would find

You blow it all
You blow it all away
Blow it all away
Blow it all, blow it all, blow it all
Blow it all, blow it all, blow it all

Blow it all away
Blow it all away
Blow it all away

Now I don't mind if you find that I'm a shoulder to cry on rely on
But the burden is just too much I'm losing touch with myself and my health

What you gonna do if you get me I can heal your problems if you let me
What you gonna do if you get me I can heal your problems if you let me

Now I don't keep you from your sleep I need some ease I'm tired of trying to
please
And it seems that my dreams are coming farther and fewer in between

What you gonna do if you get me I can heal your problems if you let me

You took me for granted
You took me, you took me for granted
But I landed back on my feet, back on
My feet
Cos you don't deserve me, deserve me
You don't have the time that I need
That I want, I deserve
But I got back my nerve
Did what was right for me
I'm using my head not my heart
And I'm starting new
I'm going to get over you, over you

I'm not important to you
I'm not important to you
I'm not important to you
I'm not important to you

You happy is all I wanted to see, is all
I wanted to see, to see
And so now that's what
I'm going to be, what I'm going to be
I'll waste some time on me
I gave you my all and you took it
I saw and you gave nothing back
Your mind on another track,
Another track, another track yeah
There are plenty of people out there
Who would care about me
You'll see
You'll see

I'm not important to you
I'm not important to you
I'm not important to you

Like a new winter's coat
I'm wearing your last embrace
Like a cold quenching glass of water
I hold a clear picture of your face

When are you coming around
Oh when are you coming around
Cos soon I'll be cold and thirsty

I'm hearing your last telephone call
Ringing louder and clearer than
The rest
I hear your invitation to see it all
Better written I am smitten no
Protest

So when are you coming around
Oh when are you coming around
Cos soon I'll be bored and lonely

I'm tasting the last glass of your wine
The sweet taste linger left on lips
I'm tasting your sweet kisses with mine
The sweet taste lingers left on lips

So when are you coming around
Oh when are you coming around

Healing is difficult
Often results in psychosomatic
I admit to enjoying drugs
They get rid of tension, boredom and static
Hate those adverse sideeffects
Forcing the people who love me to scatter
Excuse me for being such a hypocrit
The way I see it really doesn't matter

Why do you cock your head to the side when you look at me
Why are my skills in bed more important than sanity

Why do you cock your head to the side when you look at me
Why are my skills in bed more important than sanity

To tell you the truth
I can't believe I love you so much
So much in fact that I don't know whether to weep or wind my watch
I have a sick sense of humour
It amazes me how points it scores
I'm addicted to vice
My best friends are pushers, my boyfriends are whores

Why do you cock your head to the side when you look at me
Why are my skills in bed more important than sanity

Why do you cock your head to the side when you look at me
Why are my skills in bed more important than sanity

Simple to see why I breathe
No one bothers me completely

Simple to see why I breathe
No one bothers me completely

Why do you cock your head to the side when you look at me
Why are my skills in bed more important than sanity

Why do you cock your head to the side when you look at me
Why are my skills in bed more important than sanity

Waking up next to you
Your morningbreath reminds me of Lucy
The flies in the frontroom
Buzz round my head and try to seduce me
If I contract illness
The last thing I want is to pass it to others
Fucking leaves guilt pangs
When I start forgetting the names of my lovers

Why do you cock your head to the side when you look at me
Why are my skills in bed more important than sanity

Why do you cock your head to the side when you look at me

Judge me feel free
Cos the freer you feel
The freer you'll let me be

It's such a terrible terrible shame
You keep on judging me, in his name
You're so quick to shift the focus
Cos you can find yourself
In today's frame
But I know he's approve
And I've nothing to prove to you
He smiles down on me lovingly

Just me feel free
Cos the freer you feel
The freer you'll let me be

It's truly sad to see
You suffering so immensely
You need distracting
So you use me conveniently
But I know he'd approve
And I've nothing to prove to you

So naive, it helps me to breathe
Your smile I keep on file
You tickle me pink
I love the way you think
So when I'm feeling low I know
I'm your greatest fan

Little man I'm endlessly proud of you
In such a short time span
You've filled my heart with joy
As I grow older, you grow wiser
Watching my mistakes
Memorize where I've gone wrong

If they fall way
I'll stay with you
But do as I say and not as do
Trust me and you'll see
All I want is what is best for you

Little man your head is full of dreams
If only I could spend one day touring
Your imagination
If I live longer you'll grow faster
At recognising the traps that cause
Me such frustration

If they fall way
I'll stay with you
But do as I say and not as I do
trust me and you'll see
All I want is what is best for you
(x3)

So naive, it helps me to breathe
Your smile I keep on file
You tickle me pink
I love the way you think
So when I'm feeling low I know

Mind you mind me
You thought you could climb me
I'm sorry to cut your rope
Bu in you I've lost all hope
Mind you mind me
I haven't seen you lately
Oh how many times you liked to phone
To see if your seed I could sow

I tell you if that's what you're about
Friends like you I can do without

Mind you mind me
I laught at your transparency
You're my new best friend
Your fucked up life can I mend
Mind you mind me
I find it interesting to see
When I only offer you a smile, oh how
You forget to dial

Believe me, I know you work
Insidiously (repeat)

Mind you mind me, you smile so sweetly
I'd call you an acquaintance stop with
Your exaggeration
Mind you mind me
How things can change is a good week
Call me ruthless
But you stretch the truth oh yes

I tell you if that's what you're about
