Hello, Maria, this is me
Calling from a dusty payphone
Cacti by my side
The whispers of the night
And your answering machine
I made a friend the other day
She's just as lonesome as me
We talk about our dreams
Over cheap wine and cheese
We're taking it slow
How's your daughter, little Julie
Are you getting along alright
I think of her sometimes
The bedtime stories and the rhymes
Such a bright young thing
Well, I hope you're doing well
Though it's hard for me to say
Nothing's gonna change
My hopes are still in vain
Stop loving him
Anyway, I'll be off now
All I wanted was some sky
I'm holding back these tears
You were always so dear
I guess this is goodbye

Iris, up on a silver screen
You're laughing
I can't hear a thing
Open your eyes
I wanna go with you
Iris, I don't like this place
It's so cold
And we seem out of phase
Rise and shine
This world still needs you
Iris, come and never let me go
Keep me warmer
Warmer than the snow
Iris, come and speak to me in tongues
Hold me closer
We can become one
Iris, I'm stumbling through
Another bad dream
It's just me and you
Rise and shine
In the valley of saints
Iris, let's shift our gears
Through bad days
And lost years
Open your eyes
This world still needs you
Iris, come and never let me go
Keep me warmer
Warmer than the snow
Iris, come and speak to me in tongues
Hold me closer
We can become one

Georgia, Georgia
Sweet Georgia May
I see you smoking
Smoking all day
Why don't you drag me
Like smoke to your lips
It's been a long time
Since your sweet kiss
Georgia, Georgia
Sweet Georgia May
I see you smiling
Laughing all day
And all the nice things
That you would say
It's been a long time
Sweet Georgia May
Georgia, Georgia
Sweet Georgia May
In my mind
You're still the same
It was always summer
Now there's just rain
Falling down onto your grave

Fashion, do you like what you see
Fashion, the product is me
Fashion, it's the future and past
Oh, fashion, you're first or you're last
On and on, singing your song off the radio
I can't stand it, I just can't listen to you anymore
Fashion, I'm ashamed to be me
Fashion, the price of being free
Fashion, you're alone all the time
Oh, fashion, what's yours is mine
On and on, singing your song off the radio
I can't stand it, I just can't listen to you anymore
On and on, singing your song off the radio
I can't stand it, I just can't listen to you
Do you like my feet better
I'm wearing new shoes
Their color don't matter
I'm dancing the blues
Do-Si-Do to the doorway
I'll see myself out
Personality's damaged
With or without
Broken Japanese dolls
Broken Japanese dolls
