1.
Why I Was Given Sight I've walked the halls of The Louvre and seen starry skies and ones so blue. I've been a body entangled in sheets and seen all seven seas. And I've never seen anything like you. When I say you're beautiful, know it's true. You are why I was given sight. Before I met you, if I had to choose between deaf or blind, I would've lost my eyes. But the music of your shape is a symphony. CHORUS When I say, "You're beautiful," don't ask, "What do you know?" I think my résumé shows I know what beauty is. CHORUS
2.
Pimp 02:49
Pimp You control my soul just like a pimp controls a hoe. I'll bring money home or limitless love, just tell me, boss, when enough is enough 'cause I want to serve your every need; you're clever as the devil but twice as pretty. I know I sold my pride, but that is my right. I can choose who to give myself to, and I choose you. What's a body but a vessel? Oh, won't you climb aboard? Darlin', you can use me like the waves use the shore. Leave me bloody and bruised; feel free to beat, beat on me. CHORUS
3.
Lonely Ideas 02:50
Lonely Ideas Well, you're l-o-n-e-l-y, and it's funny 'cause so am I. And I have this i-d-e-a that you and I can start a flame. But you don't mind the wait. So I try to spell it out for you: lonely ideas will see us through. Time is short, time is brief, won't y-o-u be with m-e? Well, you're l-o-n-e-l-y, even though I'm right by your side. And I have this i-d-e-a that you might feel the same. CHORUS
4.
Für Elise 02:50
Für Elise When I listen to "Für Elise", I wonder if I'd rather be Beethoven, her, or the piano keys. All this talk of Master and Muse-- it's like praising an explosion, the bombmaker, but not the fuse. Think what life would be without vibrating waves, without heartbeats, without music, without a way to translate.
