Without him I am a dark moon
Don't know where he's gone, hope he comes back soon
And we could talk about it and I will glow once again
I live on the fence, one side is loving him
The other, an institution for the unsound
Can't we talk about it
And I will climb my fence once again
I was a runaway
I ran from pain, from love into his arms
And no tear I shed, will make him...

I am a vagabond
Love child, gypsy woman
My mother was a hippie
Hitchhike to San Francisco
Jay Blue didn't know how to
Keep me about that country town
My chair was rocking steady
But I was never ready
I am a vagabond
Love child, gypsy woman
A stolen African, European
Native American
Rex White couldn't hold me tight enough
To keep me in that jungle
My bowl was filled with sugar
But I had to sail on further

So long you sucker, soon you're gonna learn

Not every bird, has a song to sing
Not every girl, could give good, old-fashioned, honey love

Would you put me in your video if I dress up like a stupid ho
Downplay my intelligence, pretend that I'm permiscuous
Yes yes you would, yes yes you would
Yes yes you would, yes and the pay is good
Would you put me in your magazine if my figure was European
If I look like I shoot heroin, if I wasn't half African
Yes yes you would, yes yes...

Do you hear the whistle blowing from the morning train
It's calling your name, Joey, it's calling your name
I packed your rags and your pistol in the old suitcase
You've caused enough troubles, honey, and enough pain
You're on your way now, you're a free man
I release you, from my jealous hand
You're on your way now, with the best of me
A thousand promises, a thousand empty
And to think that, I believed you
You told me that you'd...

Partner, you ain't been treating a girl right
Could it be, that she is cramping your style
All your indifference is so intense
All your apathy is the end of me
Would you like me if I disappear
Would you feel me if I disappear
Would you miss me if I disappear
Would you miss me
Hiding in shadows, I'm out of sight
You're searching frantic, where'd that girl go

To let you, let you in

Why cannot I let you love me

Colleen LovejoyWith Guns (ft. Thundercat)Written after a young man was shot and killed across the street from my house. The next day there was no news of it. I called the police department and there was no record of it. I couldn't help but think that if this young man's skin had been a different color, his death would have made the news-- let alone a police report. Dedicating this one to Tamir Rice and the countless others whose names are unknown, whose stories are untold and whose lives were taken too soon.
