Melondy: Issues of Adolescence Series

Birds Of A Feather

    they flock together

    friends in fair weather

The Divas

    their tight-knit clique

    comes unraveled at the slightest nitpick

MADE IN HOLLYWOOD

    they think they’re shining stars

    they’re the bane of this school of ours!

SET HER ON A THRONE

    they quibble who’s the fairest

    gossipy twits, they should be embarrassed

THE MIND OF THE CAT 

    but who am I to blame

    after all, I’d share in their fame

Experiential Psychotherapy: BASIC PRACTICES 

    these games we play

    I just wanna be accepted, okay?!

THE LITTLE DRUMMER GIRL

    playing to my own tune

    guess I don’t fit in with those buffoons

Care of MIND/Care of SPIRIT

    but it haunts me so

    more then you’ll ever know

MORE THAN MOODY 

    what else am I supposed to think?

    without them, I’ll never be in sync!

Mary Mary, Quite Contrary 

    how does my stardom grow?

    with secret cartels and outright rebels,
      I should know

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE 

    counting my blessings one bottle at a time

    living it up on top of all this crime

It’s All in the Playing

    playing the game

    win one, lose one; it’s all the same

YOU CAN RELIEVE PAIN

    cuz that’s all we want

    and you think it’s just defiance we flaunt

Loot

    we’ll take what’s not given

    cuz to really love us, you’re too chicken

Midnight Suppers

    call it an addiction, call it an affliction

    gotta do something to make through this transition

THE WOUNDS OF HUNGER

    starving for love

    just want attention from the ones I think the world of

THE PARTY OF DEATH 

    it’s all fun and games until…

    ya, well, that’s just run-of-the-mill

Remains: Non-Viewable 

    you’d think they’d want to make an example of it

    but no, turn a blind eye, it’s too much to admit

PRESUMED INNOCENT

    coercion puts on a pretty smile

    tis why I’ve been here for such a long while

You Are My Sunshine?
Melondy: Issues of Adolescence Series

You Are My Sunshine?

    really, my the only sunshine?

    thought you’d make me happy when skies
       are gray

OUT OF NOWHERE

    you rained on my party

    drug my heart through the mud, never
       said sorry

VIRTUALLY NORMAL

    I thought we were tight

    guess vision is 20/20 in hindsight

WHERE YOU BELONG

    I wanted to be with you

    like all the cool kids do

A Matter of Opinion

    but your mood changes like the weather

    and birds of a feather flock together

MEAN STREAK

    you told me I would never fly that high

    and with that you left, without saying goodbye

NOW OR NEVER

    guess I have to decide

    betray myself or be disqualified

COLD SHOULDER

    even colder in this gray

    much to my dismay
