The Sentimental Programmer (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

THE SENTIMENTAL PROGRAMMER:

I'm a sentimental programmer...
And I'm mixed up with an almost girl...
Slaughtered and fed...
Prime cuts of leg...
Needle in vest...
Thoughts in her head...

I'm tired of the waiting line
So I built a girl and made her mine...
Passes the best replica test...
Needle in vest...
Thoughts in her head...
Twist a photographic model cast in plastic...
Works so well she seems iconoclastic...
Similar make up...
I'm stuck in a low rut...
I wanna try something new....
And all that I wanted was formula bonded...
And all I was missing was you...

I'm crippled with a human mind...
So I'm dreaming of the android kind...
Slaughtered and fed...
Prime cuts of leg...
Needle in vest...
Thoughts in her head...
Twist a photographic model cast in plastic...
Works so well she seems iconoclastic...
Similar make up...
I'm stuck in a low rut...
I wanna try something new...
And all that I wanted was formula bonded...
And all that I'm missing is you...... 

Feeling Slow (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

Hello...Where do you wanna go?...
Down to Mexico?...
For a while...

I'm fine...
Here in the sunshine....
Everything's so divine...
Talked down hi fi lo.... 

(Chorus)
Someone told me long me long ago...
It feels the best when you take it slow...
Cause when it's ninety degrees...
And you're feeling alone...
It's like a cold drink for your mind...  

Don't stop...
Fighting off raindrops...
Taking a non-stop...
To the sun...
I'm fine...
Here in the sunshine...
And you look so fine...
When you take it slow... 

(Chorus)
Someone told me long me long ago...
It feels the best when you take it slow...
Cause when it's ninety degrees...
And you're feeling alone...
It's like a cold drink for your mind...   

(Chorus)
Someone told me long me long ago...
It feels the best when you take it slow...
Cause when it's ninety degrees...
And you're feeling alone...
It's like a cold drink for your mind...    
It's like a cold drink for your mind...
It's like a cold drink for your mind...

Shayanni's Surprise (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

SHAYANNI'S SURPRISE:

Like a sunrise happening at three a.m...
On a walk in the middle of the night...
You may not have a clue...
It's something you just knew...
And something you were always dreaming of...
But tip your hat towards the sky...
And stand back while your tears get dry...
Happiness is always on the move...
You can wonder if it's warm inside...
Stay out till your feet get tired...
Watch out for that Shayanni surprise.... 

(Chorus) 

Just because we're waiting for the lottery...
Doesn't mean that we can live our lives for free ...

And I've seen illusions... 

But Shayanni's suprise... 

Got me right ehind the eyes....

Even in the midst of all of life's unpleasant gifts...
Someone out there's got it twice as bad...
So thank your lucky stars...
And take a look at who you are...
And never waste another day again...
Pin a note upon your sleeve and read it out before you leave...
'Cause everybody loves a valentine...
But you know just as well as I...
That we are all in pantomime...
Waiting for our Shayanni surprise...

(Chorus) 

Just because we're waiting for the lottery...
Doesn't mean that we can live our lives for free...
I've seen illusions...
But Shayanni's surprise...
Got me right behind the eyes....

Hoo hoo...
Hoo hoo...
Hoo hoo...
Hoo hoo hoo...
Hoo hoo... 

(Chorus) 

Just because we're waiting for the lottery...
Doesn't mean that we can live our lives for free...
I've seen illusions...
But Shayanni's surprise...
Got me right behind the eyes....

The Kid With Velvet Eyes (Acoustic) (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

THE KID WITH VELVET EYES (ACOUSTIC):

Every day, people sway....
Softly lulling me to sleep...
I look the other way...
But please don't look too deep...
I think I'll fall asleep...
I think I'll fall asleep....

Every night, people fight...
Gently lulling me to sleep...
I thought this was the night...
The day is mine to keep...
I think I'll turn away...
There's nothing else to say.....

Get out of my way....
I'm here now to stay....
Get out of my way....
I'm here now to stay.... 

(Chorus)

So call up and tell him that you will survive...
Good looking kid with the velvet eyes...
You and me and everything's gonna be fine...
So you wanna have everything your heart desires...
There's a fist full of people with their hearts on fire...
Make your way on up to the front of the line...

Get out of my way....
I'm here now to stay....
Get out of my way....
I'm here now to stay.... 

(Chorus) 

So call up and tell him that you will survive...

Good looking kid with the velvet eyes...

You and me and everything's gonna be fine...

You wanna have everything your heart desires...

There's a fist full of people with their hearts on fire...

Make your way on up to the front of the line.....

If You Only Knew (Acoustic) (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

IF YOU ONLY KNEW (ACOUSTIC):

There's this beat in my heart...

And I don't know what to do with it...

And you show me the sign like a difficult scene in a movie....

You have me call my way to tease the (????)....    

(Chorus)

If you only knew....

What I went through just to get to you...

If you only knew....

What I went through now the day is through....   

With all this haste in my life...

I don't know what I want to do...

All my baby's (????)....

But I don't know what I'm supposed to do with my time....

(??????????)...

Oh no....     

(Chorus)

If you only knew....

What I went through just to get to you... 

If you only knew.... 

What I went through now the day is through....   

(Chorus)

If you only knew.... 

What I went through just to get to you...  

If you only knew....  

What I went through now the day is through....   
 

If you only knew....

What it feels like...  

California living in June...

If you only knew....

All of the powerful things I'd like to do to you....

Spoke With Kate (And She Said) (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

Here we go, this is a song about... demos...

Spoke with Kate last night...
With hopes to get my fix of her advice...
Inquired about a mutual friend...
And the meaning that I held in her life...

She said, "When ya gonna learn?...
She must create her own reality to survive..."
She said, "When ya gonna learn?...
That those Gemini's will get you every time..."
 
As the conversation moved along, I was mystified by the eloquence of her words...
Which made everything I said look so confusing and entirely absurd...

She said, "When ya gonna learn?...
She must create her own reality to survive..."
She said, "When ya gonna learn?..."
That those Gemini's will get you every time...

(Harmonica Solo)

Spoke with Kate late last night with...
Hopes to answer the phone that was ringing loud...
Jesse way don't you go get it...
Because we don't want them to not leave a message for us...
And I said when ya gonna learn?...
Who is it?...
I don't know who it is...
But whoever it is will gain a new significance in our life...
Because while we were demoing this song...
They called to say hello...
They've just bought themselves into this song...
They didn't know what they were getting into when they dialed the numbers...
Who is it?...
Oh my God...
She's now in the song...forever...

Vanessa (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

VANESSA:

Oh Vanessa holding up time with her beautiful velvet eyes....
She danced in the rain...
Got lost in our games...
Turned our back to the world that night...
Fell asleep in the grass..... 

(Chorus)

Watch out for the passing of seasons...
As days take our innocence...
We could've been safe...
But we came of age...
A summer too soon for Vanessa......

She's beautiful...
Before she starts to cry....
How many stars reflected in her eyes?...
Vanessa....

She's beautiful...
Before she starts to cry...
How many stars reflected in her eyes?...
Vanessa.....

Someone More Comfortable (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

SOMEONE MORE COMFORTABLE:

Wouldn't it be nice to slip into tomorrow?....   
Wouldn't it feel nice to bathe in yesterday?....   
Wouldn't it be nice to take a hunting rifle?....   
Empty out the chamber...   
Fill it with roses and say... 

(Chorus) 
"So you want to be a superman?....    
Just can't escape from your own skin.... 
Running down the street saying 'I'm no criminal...   
Let me slip into someone more comfortable...." 

Wouldn't it be nice to slip into tomorrow?...   
Wouldn't it be feel to bathe in yesterday?...   
Wouldn't it be nice to take the hunting rifle?...   
Empty out the chamber...  
Fill it with roses and say... 

(Chorus) 
"So you want to be a superman?... 
Just can't escape from your own skin.... 
Running down the street yelling 'I'm no criminal...   
Let me slip into someone more comfortable.... 
Let me slip into someone more comfortable..."
