FLATHAND 5

Followed to Crash (sung by Melene Marie Brown)
slow down slow down
you always drive too fast
tanked up shut up
don't talk when your gonna pass
too much too much
now you really don't look so good
it all catches up with you 
like you always knew it would
I followed my vision- I went to the store
to meet the Zen Master- a stock boy working on the floor
then he looked up at me saying "I know why you came"
today's special is in isle 7- now don't come back again"
too bad so sad
you didn't see that truck
can't pass can't pass
the road ran out like your luck
look up look up
guardrail and open sky
so high so high
this old Dodge wasn't meant to fly
I followed my vision- I went to the sea
to meet the High Priestess - a parking attendant temporarily
she smiled and nodded saying "5 dollars please,
you can kiss the ocean but 
(if you wanna kiss the ocean then) you'll have to get down on your knees."
slow down slow down
you always drive too fast
tanked up shut up
don't talk when your gonna pass
too much too much
now you really don't look so good
it all catches up with you 
like you always knew it would
I followed my vision- I went to the club drunk
to meet the doorman an undercover Benedictine Monk
"Ten dollar cover- two dollar mixed drinks, 
but girl I think you've (already) drunken all that you can drink"

Interruptions
killing time with scripted lines 
she didn't have alot to say
down time and cold sunshine 
and then she looked at me that way
two times the ties that bind
she said she had to go away
sometimes we're left behind
it doesn't matter anyway

Middle Man (sung by Becky Thatcher)
now temper temper - don't push me little man
I never wanted you to end up as the middle man
had no intention you've got to understand
as you can see my fingers are free
of engagement rings or wedding bands
I've got to go now the car is in the drive
it was fun while it lasted and you know I can't stand long goodbyes

Now I don't need a second father
and I don't need a helping hand
and I don't want you to even bother
'cause I don't need a middle man

Sorry honey I took back those gifts you gave
I know I won't miss your little moods or your cheap after shave
no need to worry I'll do fine out on my own
you know I'm a big girl now with no use for an over-bearing chaperone
you saw it coming I know you saw the signs
when I stopped returning all your phone calls and gave back all your Valentines

You Don't Own Me
let's pretend
let's pretend 
that I don't need this

in present tense the last offense
two times the trouble without a good defense
off in the distance
farewells- goodbye, goodbye
I heard a little voice telling little lies

YOU DON'T OWN ME (x4)

so in my face the hands misplaced
beyond the plots and scheme disgrace
I've had my fill of bitter pills
shoved down and down and down 
my throat until
all your pain was justified
you weren't the only one to ever cry

let's pretend
let's pretend 
that you don't need this
