Lyrics (fan transcription):

you don’t know but that’s okay
you might find me anyway
don’t you know that I
belong arm in arm with you, baby
in a town that’s cold and gray
we will have a sunny day
don’t you know that I
belong arm in arm with you, baby…

I do not know
where does it go
when it goes
suddenly though
everything’s slow
and I miss you so

round each corner there’s a chance
people searching glance to glance
moving bout real fast
like insects and fish when they’re scared
and they sing the same old song
though it’s been so very long
they sing, raindrops falling on my head
but that doesn’t mean that I am dead

and I do not know
where does it go
when it goes
suddenly though
everything’s slow
and I miss you so

you don’t know but that’s okay
you might find me anyway
don’t you know that I
belong arm in arm with you, baby
in a town that’s cold and gray
we will have a sunny day
don’t you know that I
belong arm in arm with you, baby…

Reading Time with Pickle

Written by: regina spektor

Lyrics (fan transcription):

walking home from work
stop at the supermarket
the condiment aisle
a jar of pickles catches the eye
made eye contact with a solitary pickle
bought the jar, took it home

then made it up the stairs
and made it through the doorway
and waded through the floor
tried to head in the general direction of the bathroom
the truest room in the whole damn house

saying love is the answer to a question that I have forgotten
and I know I've been asked
so the answer's got to be love

so feeding time with tv
then sleeping time, not sleepy so
reading time with pickle
but where the bedside lamp had been
is now emanating soft soft green

has it always been this way?
is it possible that all this magic went unnoticed?
maybe now things will start to change
and life will turn a better page
no more rage

saying love is the answer to a question that I have forgotten
but I know I've been asked
and the answer's got to be love

tomorrow back to work again
but run to the supermarket
running hopeful through the aisles
haven't been this happy in a long time
but not a single jar was smiling
after all,
pickle jars are just
pickle jars and pickles are just pickles
ingredients: water, salt, cucumbers,
garlic, and pickling spices

love is the answer to a question that I have forgotten
and I know I've been asked
and the answer's got to be love

Reginasaurus

Lyrics (fan transcription):

if I was a dinosaur
I'd be a reginasurus
and if I knew a million english words
I'd publish my own spektor's thesaurus
if I was born in the merry month of may
then I would be a taurus
and if I had some extra time on my hands, then I'd
surely join a chorus

if I was a philosophy
I'd be registentialism
and if people spoke using quotes of me
they'd say reginaisms
if I was a religion, then my church
would surely have a schism
there'd be regewish and registian and reguslim and reguddist and regatheist
but they'd still be friends

if I was a great big city
I'd be reginapolis
no one would be sickly or achey
in my thriving metropolis
unless of course they came down with bad case of
reginitis
a heartache and a headache and a sunburn and a little bit of
acute gastritis

but if I was a dinosaur
I'd be a reginasaurus
and if I knew a million english words
I'd have my own spektor's thesaurus
if I was born in the merry month of may
then I would be a taurus
and if I had some extra time on my hands, then I'd
surely join a chorus

Lyrics (as originally posted by Regina on brümstix):

Thought I'd cry for you forever
But I couldn't so I didn't
people's children die and they don't even cry forever
Thought I'd see your face in my mind for all time
But I don't even remember what your ears looked like

And the clock still strikes midnight and noon
and the sun still rises and so does the moon
birds still migrate south and people move on
even though I'm no longer in your arms
Thought the mountain would crumble
and the rivers would bend
but I thought all wrong and the world did not end
guess the maps will just have to stay the same for a while
Didn't even need therapy to rehabilitate my smile
rehabilitate my smile

Thought I'd cry for you forever
But I couldn't so I didn't...

Lyrics (fan transcription):

wake up, put on my riot gear
but in the study of my house
i've got a smoking jacket
passed to me from granddaddy
it's made of bow and arrow meat

come home, take off my riot gear
put on my smoke jacket
but in the library of my house
i have a book, medieval jokes
are just as a funny now if you've got a degree

heaven help the ones who know
what makes the world go slow

night comes, time to go on the town
and in my best sashimi dress
and marble arch supporting shoes
i am a vision in my horse drawn tank

stay out, drinking into the night
and they are saying those same things
and i'm like ha ha ha and hee hee hee
til half past three and then it's time for me to go

heaven help the ones who know
what makes the world go slow

come home, take off my tuna dress
put on my collard greens
and in my sleep what dreams may come
before I'm woken by alarms
put on my riot gear

She will kiss you til your lips bleed
but she will not take her dress off
Americana
Tropicana
All the sailor boys have demons
they sing oh kentucky why did you forsake me
if I was meant to sail the sea why did you make me
it should have been another state
oh stay...

cause Mary Anne's a bitch
Mary Anne's a bitch

Does it matter that our anger
couldn't even reach the bottom of a bath tub
and the sails reflect the moon it's such a strange job
playing blackjack on the deck
still...Atop this giant puddle
dressed in white we quietly huddle with our missiles
and we miss the girls back home
oh home sweet home...

cause Mary Anne's a bitch
Mary Anne's a bitch

She will kiss you til your lips bleed
but she will not take her dress off

Lyrics (from the Begin to Hope liner notes):

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first beneath
The sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of Wonder bread and
Went right back to bed
And the history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn't mention us
Not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I love you first beneath
The stars came falling on our hats
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and
Came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me till the morning light, the morning light
And he kissed me till the morning light

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of Wonder bread and
Went right back to bed
Oh we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And the history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn't mention us
Not even once

come on inside and I’ll show you your brother
he’s got enough money to buy a new father
he’s got enough money to bother

solder two wires together

remember that mouthful you spat in his mouthful
he never forgave you, he’s so very spiteful
he’s so very vengeful and so very frightful
he’s got enough money to bother
solder two wires together

scarecrow and fungus, they ran through a stoplight
but it didn’t matter cause no one was hurt
scarecrow and fungus, they ran through a stoplight
but it didn’t matter cause they were on foot

got enough money to bother
somebody else
solder two wires together
somebody else

I don’t know what I’m doing still here
they must have done such a very very good job…

they say he’s adopted but quite maladapted
they say he’s corrupted but quite well-respected
he’s got lots of money, we all really like him
he’s got enough money to bother
come on inside and I’ll show you your brother
he’s got enough money to buy a new father
he’s got enough money to bother
somebody else
solder two wires together
somebody else…

She opened her pocket and showed me her stash
a stash of cash and flesh
for a rainy day
she said, there might come a day when you’ve just got nothing to say
nothing to think, and there’s nothing left to drink
nothing to eat, you’ll be your own piece of meat
and no one can take that away from you…
no one…

tell me what you told me again and I might
believe you next time
maybe give it another try
I’ll open my pocket and show you my stash
a small stash of cash and flesh
saved for a rainy day
saved for a rainy day I’ve got nothing to say
and no one can take that away from me…

Silly Eye Color Generalizations

Written by: regina spektor

Lyrics (fan transcription):

there are those boys with earthly eyes
their eyes are like the ground
you walk and walk, kicking up dirt
but they don't make a sound
and when they kiss you they sometimes leave them open
just to make sure you don't drop
yeah, the sweetest eyes, the truest eyes
are probably dark brown

there are those boys with golden hazel eyes
the color of weak tea
they spend the nights howling at the moon
to let go of the sea
the scope of their depth is terrifying, thrilling
you think you're finally free
when they capture you, cause golden eyes are as sticky as
honey from a bee

I'm drowning

but those with blue I shouldn't trust
cause I myself have blue
you fall for them so easy
you think you see right through
you take a leap thinking blue water is deep
when suddenly it's just gray rain
then puddles at your feet
will freeze to dirty ice
but summon them back up to clean salty blue water once again
confusing

blue eyes they change like the weather
blue sea, blue sky, blue paint
I wouldn't trust my own blue-eyed reflection
as far as I can throw that mirror

but these are just silly eye color generalizations
you shouldn't believe a word I've said
cause when you're lying in your bed
darkness round your head
your eyes might as well be polka-dotted or plaid
polka-dotted or plaid

it's surprising how little things we lose
I was walking through the streets of soho
looking for a diamond ring
but I didn't find a thing
not a necklace, not a bracelet, not a shoelace, not an old friend
not a new friend in the faces of the crowd

and the streets were paved with cigarette butts...

it's surprising how little's on the ground
considering we walk around
and lose and lose what's never found
someone has got to be the one
to find the long lost answers
banana peels and orange rinds

but we suck on our cigarettes
as if one day they will save use
as if one day they'll return the favor
as if one day they will crave us...

it's surprising how little things we know
I was walking through my mindscape
and I didn't find a thing
it's surprising how little things we know
I was walking through my mindstreet
red light stop and green light go
and I didn't get run over

but we suck on our cigarettes
as if one day they will save use
as if one day they'll return the favor
as if one day they will crave us...

Somedays aren't yours at all
They come and go as if they're someone elses days
They come and leave you behind some elses face
and it's harsher than yours

They come in all quiet sweep up and then they leave
and you don't hear a single floor board creak
they're so much stronger than the friends you try to keep by your side

Downtown, downtown
I'm not here, not anymore
I've gone away
don't call me don't write

I'm in love with your daughter
I want to have her baby I'm in love with your daughter
so can I please

Downtown, downtown

I've gone away don't call me don't write

Somedays aren't yours at all
They come and go as if they're someone elses days
They come and leave you behind some elses face

Lyrics (fan transcription):

The soup..was hot and split pea and on the stove
and michael and marry and bugsy and buster were occupied
the pictures as clear as an illusion in their mind
and the plan was foolproof but there was so much to do

first they'd decide who'd drive the car, who'd wear the masks and who'd bribe the cops
then they'd decide what were the rules, when do shoot and when do you hold back
they'd synchronize their watches and their heartbeats and their ribcages
this can't be a mess, this can't be a mess...

nobody knows how it comes to be that they think that they must and they do what they can
but the cops are right there and the sirens they blare and the bystarers stare and everyone just stands
bugsy went down first, then marry, then michael drove off and buster just ran
he was running like a child running in a game of tag
until he was hit, until he was it...

Summer in the City

Lyrics (from the Begin to Hope liner notes):

Summer in the city means
Cleavage cleavage cleavage
And I start to miss you, baby, sometimes
I’ve been staying up and drinking in late night establishments
Telling strangers personal things

Summer in the city
I’m so lonely lonely lonely
So I went to a protest just to rub up against strangers
And I did feel like coming but I also felt like crying
And it doesn’t seem so worth it right now

And the castrated ones stand on the corner smoking
They want to feel the bulges in their pants start to rise
At the site of a beautiful woman
They feel nothing but anger
Her skin makes them sick in the night
Nauseous nauseous nauseous

Summer in the city
I’m so lonely lonely lonely
I been hallucinating you, babe, at the backs of other women
And I tap them on the shoulder and they turn around smiling
But there’s no recognition in their eyes

Summer in the city means
Cleavage cleavage cleavage
And don’t get me wrong, dear
In general I think I’m doing quite fine
It’s just when it’s summer in the city
And you’re so long gone from this city
I start to miss you, baby, sometimes

When it’s summer in the city
And you’re so long gone from the city
I start to miss you, baby, sometimes

These past weeks it has been raining
and now my song's a flood

You've been driving down that same road
road rage in your eyes
so won't you come down from the ceiling
won't you hear my cries

Hey remember the time when I found a human tooth down on Delancey
Hey remember that time we decided to kiss anywhere except the mouth
Hey remember that time when my favorite colors was pink and green
Hey remember that month when I only ate boxes of tangerines
So cheap and juicy!
Hey remember that time when I would only read Shakespeare
Hey remember that other time when I would only read the backs of cereal boxes
Hey remember that time I tried to save a pigeon with a broken wing
A street cat got him by morning and I had to bury pieces of his body in our building’s playground
I thought I was gonna be sick
Hey remember that time when I would only smoke Parliaments
Hey remember that time when I would only smoke Marlboros
Hey remember that time when I would only smoke Camels
Hey remember that time when I was broke
I didn’t care I'd just bum from my friends
Bum ba bum ba bum bum...
Hey remember that time when you OD’ed
Hey remember that other time when you OD’ed for the second time
Well in the waiting room while waiting for news of you
I hallucinated I could read your mind
And I was on a lot of shit too but what I saw, man,
I tell you it was freaky

You step on all my parts

and I know that your love ain't ever coming back no more
Time is all around

Everybody's waiting for their lover to unlock

Leaves become most beautiful when they're about to die
when they're about to fall from trees
when they're about to dry up
Time is all around

I hallucinate a cat between my feet
I'm stepping lightly so as not to hurt it
Everybody wants to say that you have changed
Of course you've changed, you've changed, you've changed
your mind's been rearranged

What am I supposed to love if I don't want to love?
Why am I supposed to? I'm so tired
What am I supposed to love if I don't want to?
I don't want to…

say that they're always
gonna stay together
but one's never going

he says that he will
but he's just a liar

two birds on a wire
one tries to fly away

The mind has already forgotten what the body still misses
Somewhere between the sticky floor and the cracks in the ceiling
Cuddling my semi-automatic, what a very fuzzy feeling

they'll name a city after us
and later say it's all our fault
then they'll give us a talking to
then they'll give us a talking to
cause they've got years of experience

We're living in a den of thieves
rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
and it's contagious

We wear our scarves just like a noose
but not cause we want eternal sleep
and though our parts are slightly used
new ones are slave labor you can keep

We're living in a den of thieves
rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
and it's contagious

They made a statue of us

Lyrics (fan transcription):

I found a wallet
I found a wallet
inside were pictures of your small family
you were so young
your hair dark brown
you had been born in nineteen fifty-three

your winter birthday
was stamped on the plastic
of a license so recently expired
I was so tired
as I walked through my door
I laid all the contents of your wallet on the floor

and like a holy relic
or a mystery novel
I thumbed them in the dim light
searching for a clue
a blockbuster card
an old stick of juicy fruit
a crumpled receipt
for a pair of leather boots

I have no wallet
I have no wallet
I keep my cards together with a blue rubber band
and with a free hand
I search in my pockets
for pieces of, pieces of paper and change

I'll take your wallet
to my local blockbuster
they'll find your number
in their computer
you'll never know me
I'll never know you
but you'll be so happy
when they call you up

all the people in my town would be born
then they'd get themselves a little hair cut
and then promptly after they'd be dead

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow
when a drunk girl awoke me on the train
but I did not see her stumbling and I did not hear her mumbling
as I dubbed myself a passenger
and kindly stepped away

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow I was sleeping

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow

will try to crawl into your bed at night

never leave your lover

awful mean
even then you'll probably
always miss him
he will visit in your dreams

Names and dates and faces
places you were happy
I'll never fall
never fall like that again...

never give up loving
unless you have to
never leave your lover
unless you must
cause it will haunt your
empty heart forever
til your body turns to dust

I said I don't kiss losers and I don't kiss winners
And I don't fight for honor cause we all are born sinners

Gargle with peroxide a steak for your eye
but I'm a vegetarian so it's a frozen pizza pie
You tell me that you care and you never do lie
and you fight for my honor but I just don't know why

Mary had a little lamb with fleece as white as snow
You've got me and I'm just a common 'ho
but I know what I am and I know what I ain't
so don't get cut cause I still won't be no saint

Gargle with peroxide a steak for your eye
but I'm a pizzatarian so it's a frozen pizza pie
You tell me that you love me and you never do lie
and you fight for my honor but I just don't know why
You fight for my honor and I don't understand
but hold on your honor I'll get ice for your hand...
