When you left me with good intentions, you left me nonetheless
What you left me, all those good intentions, the memories made a mess
Letters, pebbles, photographs, and jackets you outgrew
There they’ll stay up on that high shelf just out of view
I keep everything you ever gave me, everything, everything
When you left DC for Pennsylvania you said you wanted to be free
But why you’d leave DC for Pennsylvania is beyond me

Tisha, drink your coffee black, and hold your head up high
Walk right out when you want to go, and don’t you say goodbye
Tisha, nice to meet ya
Tisha, drink your coffee black, and smile when they look at you
Guard your heart and body is all you have to do
Tisha, drink your coffee black, and say what’s on your mind
You were destined to run the world, not to stand aside
Tisha, drink your coffee black, you don’t need cream or sweetener
You’ll thank me tomorrow, your truth lays in your numbers
Tisha, when you move I see anxiety and pain
Maybe coffee is not for you, sleep, girl, and rest your brain
Tisha, when you laugh I see the stains and signs of aging
Coffee's for the young girls, don’t count on standards changing.

Horoscope

He’s a libra, I’m a scorpio, if that doesn’t say it all I don’t know what will
I read it in the paper that Jupiter has fallen in line, and I feel it this time
Every song that he writes, I think they’re all about me
Every lyrics, every line, encoded with my destiny
Now I start to wonder if I misunderstand
Like star signs through my telescope, I buy into all his false hope
Oh, I buy into him, every glance and smile and sin
I read into him like he’s my horoscope
He’ll call me and tell me everything
Bet he can’t get enough of my voice and my charm
And my brain and my laugh and my this and my that
And I know I must match every dream that he has
Every letter that he sends, I take it as a proclamation,
Love that never ends, at least I think that was the basic statement
Far fetched as it may seem, you can’t argue with the science of astrology
Details agree, it has to be me, who else could she be?

Not Scared of You
02:34

Some people are so afraid of speaking in front of crowds
Some people are so afraid of rain and thunder clouds
But not me, not me
I’m not afraid of spiders, and I’m not afraid of heights
I’m not afraid of monsters in the middle of the night
No I’m not afraid of ghosts, and I’m not afraid of fire
I’m not afraid of snakes and I’m not afraid of liars
Not afraid of bigots in this nation or the Trump administration
I’m tough as hell, I got this, I’m coming for your seat in Congress (The Oval Office)
Ooh, I’m not afraid of much and sure as hell not scared of you
But some people are so afraid of shark infested waters
And some people are so afraid of the ambitions of their daughters
And maybe they should be
We’re not afraid of much and sure as hell not scared of you.

KC, keep me in your mind, KC
KC, call yourself divine, KC
KC, kiss me, sweet and strong
KC, kill me for your song
KC, oh, KC
I’ll tell you my plans tell you my reasons for leaving
I cannot say where I will be
But if you find yourself lonely
Think of my in August, think of me in July
That music you fell in love with, she’s a warm weather myth
And she’s run away for the winter, she’s been gone for days
Don’t wait up stay busy, and don’t lay down, embrace that dizzy feeling
KC, can you see my veins, KC
KC, call yourself insane, KC
KC, carry it inside
KC, count to tell and hide
KC, oh, KC
I’ll tell you my stories, tell you where I have been
I cannot say where I'll go next
But if you find yourself in yesterday
Or in August, or back in July
Don’t wait up stay busy, and don’t lay down, embrace that dizzy feeling

Easy on Me

I got caught in that crazy kind of sideways rain
On my way up to Indy trying to catch my plane
I was in it fifteen minutes, but I feel it in my bones,
My hair my bags my shoes, Yeah I’ll be soaked all the way home
They didn’t take it easy on me today
I got stopped in the middle of the TSA line
Officer held up a bag, and I said, “Shit, that’s mine!”
And he said, “ma’am take out your wallet, electronics, wallet and snacks,”
I said, “that’s everything I brought, so just dump out my fucking bag!”
I walked up to the woman at gate B16
Showed her my boarding pass without an assigned seat
She said, “Miss, this flight is overbooked, we cannot get you on,”
And I said, “Why am I not surprised? I’ll just head back to Bloomington!”

My mother loves the red in me, the blood God made me from fire
She loves the orange sunshine on my hair
She loves the dreamsicle sunsets that get tangled in there
My mother loves the yellow undertones of my skin
A reflection of the pages of the age old truth she steeped my childhood in
My eyes are evergreen, evergreen
Her love is evergreen, evergreen
My mother loves the blues in me
Like Bessie, Like Billie, how messy, how silly I can be
But that’s just the daytime sky in me
My violet soul shines through my fingertips
My mom, she used to kiss my calloused fingertips
She loves me from my mind all through my fingertips
My eyes stay evergreen, evergreen
Her love is evergreen, evergreen
It’s new each morning and older than time
Winter can’t faze her from up so high
Her love is evergreen, evergreen
She taught me that God’s love is evergreen, evergreen
It’s new each morning and older than time
Winter can’t faze Her from up so high

Honey

When I show up at a party, the options overwhelm
When I sit down at a restaurant, the questions wear me down
When it comes to order drinks I find no need to complicate
Keep it good and keep it simple, and just give it to me straight
I don’t put cayenne in my coffee, hold the syrup and Splenda and cream
I don’t do lime in my corona, sip my ice water lemon free
Thank you for asking, but I never touch my english breakfast tea
Until that night at B-Town Diner when my waiter offered me
Honey
My waiter, well he owned the place
A sweet old man in his sixties
He smiled at us, just a couple of kids
11PM sipping black tea
And maybe we looked like the type who needed a little something
So the very next time he came around, I took what he was offering
