Goodbye America Goodbye America, Hello Madeira Goodbye America, Hello Madeira X2 Quando o meu pai era um menino Ele encontrou uma batata Uma batata! Perto de casa Na ilha da Madeira Minha avó não gosta de aviões Aí ela não gosta de aviões Por causa do turbulencia Ela rezou, ela jurou que nunca mais Ía de avião — ela foi de barco! Goodbye America, Hello Madeira Goodbye America, Hello Madeira America’s no good no more, let’s go to Madeira America’s no good no more, let’s go to Madeira America’s no good no more Count the Trump supporters Get down on the floor Sometimes we all want to disappear So why not bring Madeira right here

Purgatory 03:24
Every day’s the same When he’s away Should I make plans To drive far away today Every time we talk My mind constructs a fairytale I could have sworn I felt you there Don’t you know love is to be shared? Should I walk it off after work? Now all my friends think you’re a jerk Should not have told them what you said Should I have come to you instead? She will wait for no one She will see it coming She will wait for no one, She will see it coming, She will text you crying but you will not hear it It’s not the time now to tell you I’m leaving A world full of hate and I know you’re a target I know that you love me

Baby Girl 04:25
To a little baby girl he said “You look so cute today” She’s my little baby girl and I don’t want you to talk that way Will you wear those pretty dresses once they see it as a threat Photo albums can’t describe your awesome power - don’t forget It’s not surprising Am I coming home? So many people But I’m still alone It’s not surprising Am I coming home? Too many people Won’t leave me alone Honey, sweetie, baby girl you know I love you anyway Want you to be proud of the things that you made with your hands and heart today And If you’re ever made to feel you’re not enough Draw upon your power - uh-huh get it girl and get it done

No 03:18
“oh suck me dry” oh suck it up your dirty words can’t touch me do you feel powerful you sit and watch me turn the other way five minute conversation’s not enough to get to know me you’re really not so cute you know and you are not above me you act so proud to know me now, like I’m some badge you wear out that’s not the whole situation, you left me cold and empty not buying your stupid hair cut or those dumb songs you showed me yeah you can try to box me in but you will not define me why don’t you get it x3 --the answer is no so please don’t call me after dark, oblivious and yearning And with the roles reversed you wouldn’t even see it coming

She never sleeps, turns on the TV To catch a glimpse of what life could be She'll never see the silence in me Why can't she see the silence in me Don't let her out She's been here too long You can't let her out She's already gone Should I cut her off? she'll wither slowly and in doing so protect the goodness in me Don't let me out I won't stay too long If you let me out, and I know you will I won't play along
6.
Feels so close to me Feels so close I can almost taste it So close I can barely breathe When we touch the otherside Oh, his brilliant vibrations I feel you beckoning me To lay it all down and drown in the sweetness of our being But don't get burned by the longing itself I long to submerge myself in Him Soothe burn wounds and boils What this body endures To hover so close to the essence Oh, sigh softly in my ear No one can touch us here I've left the pain of a lifetime back there No one will find me here But don't get burned by the longing itself He kindles a fire I cannot control While my tides come and go All I want is this To sustain a slow burn and indulge in it
7.
You shoulda seen it the way her face was glowing When she played the right chord A loss for words, now you should have been there There is no way to make you see what I see Inside this moment there is a pleasure blooming It bubbles up behind four doors and 88 keys And deep inside these cells, there is a constant yearning I'll make my peace right here transforming sorrow into light You are too sweet to enable me to say it Your good intentions will be the death of me Here comes your last hurrah - was it all you dreamed it would be I can't carry that weight, you know I have to choose me
