lyrics

Can't figure out exactly why
Tricking my master don't feel right.
I've been a yes girl all my life
One more line for one more dime

And I,
I'm a lonely bride
I'm a tipsy kind
But I keep time
- yeah

Sound the alarm and wake your kind.
Nobody knows what's happening.
Time has stopped - broken clock.
Everybody point to the missile in the sky

I belong to the space revolution
I got me a suit and a tasty solution
I never wanted your baby, anyway
Try something new.

And I, - something new
I'm a lonely bride. - give me one try
I'm a Tipsy kind - I keep time
But I keep time - you won't listen
- yeah

I could sit here for a day
I could sit here for a week.
Trying to figure out what went wrong
With the better half of me.
I never pictured it this way
I never thought I'd see again
But not I've opened up my eyes
It's good to be alive

Talk to the head executive
Only he knows where she lives
Pretty Eliza, tall and tight
Self starvation on the rise.

And I, - something new
I'm a lonely bride. - give me one try
I'm a Tipsy kind - I keep time
But I keep time - you won't listen
- yeah

You wanna give me one try
I wanna talk but you don't listen

Michelle Cross Chicago, Illinois

Michelle is a musician and artist based in Chicago. Sprinkled with classical influences and firmly supported by strong vocals, Cross’s songs tend to have a darker, moodier feel to them. At times, there is a lot of aggression and rhythm in her piano playing, yet even at its most gentle moments her powerfully emotional and melodic piano-based songs have caused listeners to sit-up and pay attention. ... more
