DAREDEVIL - FIONA APPLE

I guess I just must be a daredevil
I don't feel anything until I smash it up
I'm caught on the cold,
I'm caught on the hot
Not so with the warmer lot
And all I want's a confidante
To help me laugh it off.

And don't let me ruin me
I may need a chaperone.

Say I'm an airplane
And the gashes I got from my heartbreak
Make the slots and the flaps upon my wing
And I use them to give me lift
Hip hip for the lift
Hip hip for the drag
I want them all in my bag
Oh give me anything and I'll turn it into a gift.

MOWGLI'S ROAD - MARINA & THE DIAMONDS

Ten silver spoons coming after me.
One life with one dream on repeat.
I'll escape if I try hard enough.
'Til King of the Jungle calls my bluff.
Oh Lord, I have been told, (I have been told).
That I must take, the unforsaken road.
...
You say Y-E-S to everything,
Will that guarantee you a win?
Do you think you will be good enough,
To love others and to be l-l-l-l-loved?

DISTURBIA - RIHANNA

Faded pictures on the wall
It's like they talkin' to me
Disconnectin' your call
Your phone don't even ring
I gotta get out
Or figure this shit out
It's too close for comfort.

It's a thief in the night
To come and grab you
It can creep up inside you
And consume you
A disease of the mind
It can control you;
I feel like a monster.

Throw on your brake lights
We're in the city of wonder
Ain't gonna play nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter be wise
Your mind is in disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia, ain't used to what you like.

TAPES - ALANIS MORISSETTE

"I am someone easy to leave;
Even easier to forget."
A voice, if inaccurate,
Again, "I'm the one they all run from."
Diatribes of clouded sun
Someone help me find the pause button.

All these tapes in my head swirl around
Keeping my vibe down
All these thoughts in my head aren't my own
Wreaking havoc.

"I'm too exhausting to be loved;
A volatile chemical;
Best to quarantine and cut off."

DARE - GORILLAZ

It's coming up, it's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up, it's coming up, it's coming up
It's dare.

It's dare.

You've got to press it on you
You've just been thinking
That's what you do, baby
Hold it down, dare.

Jump with them all and move it
Jump back and forth
It feels like you were there yourself;
Work it out.

Never did no harm
Never did no harm
It's dare.

THE GENIUS NEXT DOOR - REGINA SPEKTOR

Some said the local lake had been enchanted
Others said it must have been the weather
The neighbors were trying to keep it quiet
But I swear that I could hear the laughter
So they jokingly nicknamed it the porridge
Cause overnight that lake had turned as thick as butter
But the local kids would still go swimming, drinking
Saying that to them it doesn't matter.

If you just hold in your breath til you come back up in full;
Hold in your breath til you thought it through, you fool.

The genius next door was busing tables
Wiping clean the ketchup bottle labels
Getting high and mumbling German fables
Didn't care as long as he was able
To strip his clothes off by the dumpsters
At night while everyone was sleeping
And to wade midway into that porridge
Just him and the secret he was keeping.

If you just hold in your breath til you come back up in full
Hold in your breath til you thought it through, you foolish child.

In the morning the film crews start arriving
With donuts, coffee and reporters
The kids were waking up hungover
The neighbors were starting up their cars
The garbageman were emptying the dumpsters
Atheists were praying full of sarcasm
And the genius next door was sleeping
Dreaming that the antidote is orgasm.

If you just hold in your breath til you come back up in full
Hold in your breath til you thought it through, you foolish child!

I AM A SCIENTIST - DANDY WARHOLS

In me, the scientist
Always gets stuck on always trying this;
I try to live on science alone.
Analysis and freaky sensitivity
We've gotta live on science alone.
I got it.
Yeah uh I am a scientist
Yeah uh I am a scientist
Yeah uh I am a scientist
We've gotta live on science alone.

Religiously, I'm speaking on the science 'cause
We've gotta live on science alone.
I tell you what, mathematically I'm having it
I want to live on science alone.

GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN - SCARY MANSION

I come home in the morning light
My mother says, "When you gonna live your life right?"
Oh, mother dear, we're not the fortunate ones
And girls, they want to have fun.
Oh, girls, they want to have fun.

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells, "What you gonna do with your life?"
Oh, daddy dear, you know you're still number one
But girls, they want to have fun.
Oh, girls, they want to have...

That's all they really want,
Some fun.
When the working day is done
Girls, they want to have fun.
Oh, girls, they want to have fun.

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh, girls, they want to have fun
Oh, girls, they want to have...

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls, they want to have fun
Oh, girls, they want to have fun.
