1 - One Angry Dwarf And 200 Solemn Faces
September '75 I was 47 inches high
Mom said by Christmas I would have
A bad-ass mother G.I. Joe
For your little minds to blow
I still got beat up after class
Now I'm big and important
One angry dwarf
Two hundred solemn faces are you
If you really wanna see me
Check your papers and the TV
Look who's telling who what to do
Kiss my ass good-bye
Don't give me that bullshit
You know who I am
I'm your nightmare, little man
Vic, you stole my lunch money, made me cry
Jane, remember second grade?
Said you couldn't stand my face
Rather than kiss me
You said you'd rather die
You'll be sorry one day
Yes you will, yes you will
You shouldn't push me around
'Cause I will, yes I will
You will be sorry when I'm big
Yes you will be sorry
2 - Fair
He shouted out his last word
And hestumbled through the yard
And she shattered her last china plate
And spun off in the car
Whenhe lunged onto the hood
She stopped to tell him she'd been wrong
He was thrown head over heels
Into the traffic coming on
But then all is fair in love
Did you get my other letters
Sometimes I think I oughta call
Cause you know I often wonder
If you open them at all
Every couple nights or so y'know
You pop into my dreams
I just can't get rid of you
Like you got rid of me
Oh but I send my best
Cause God knows you've seen my worst
But then all is fair in love
(Allthis breathing in, never breathing out)
I guess she made her way
Through the mob too late to hear him say
That he'd gotten all he'd wanted
A crowd to watch him bear the pain
He'd been keeping in - so what -
All is fair in love
3 - Brick
6 am day after Christmas
I throw some clothes on in the dark
The smell of cold
Car seat is freezing
The world is sleeping
I am numb
Up the stairs to the apartment
She is balled up onthe couch
Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
They're not home to find us out
Andwe drive
Now that I have found someone
I'm feeling more alone
Than I everhave before
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
They call her name at 7:30
I pace around the parking lot
Then I walk down to buy her flowers
And sell some gifts that I got
Can't you see
It's not me you're dying for
Now she's feeling more alone
Than she ever has before
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
As weeks went b�
