Anima (for America)

			by Far

	She's got a penchant for disaster
	like a rickety old roller coaster
	The things that I find in her mind
	scare me half to death

	Throw twigs and snakes and rabbit bones
	but please don't call me names
	label me, enable me to
	play the game of
	anonymity


		Lied
	*********************

		by Far

	Here I lied, wide awake, feeling nothing...
	Here I lied
	Didn't speak, just said nothing
	Here I lied, stretched the truth,
	gave you the answers you wanted

	As I reach for
	another quick thing to say
	I've lied

	meanwhile...
	Here they lied, wide awake, feeling nothing
	Here they lied
	side by side
	far away
	Tin men and soldiers are bringing you home
	She waits for you and you're not there
	I know what you thought, and I thought so too
	She said that she'd wait forever
	She tried
	He tried
	I tried all the way
	I tried
	You tried
	we lied

	All the words that get wasted
	(on what's not heard/the right thing to say)
	Lied

	In the bedroom, things get heated
	She bleeds, he heals her wound
	She leads, they live, they leave the room

	Isn't it a thin line inbetween love&hate,
	innocent affection, lust and rape
	What gets given to us, what we take from each other
	Mommy, look at the naked ape trying to communicate
	singing words that don't mean anything
	I can never let myself forget
	sometimes I feel so far away
	I'll try not to
	This helps me not to
	I tried, you tried, we tried all the way
