Joan Osborne Lyrics

St. Teresa lyrics - Joan Osborne

Sit down on the corner, just a little crime

When I make my money, got to get my dime

Sit down with her baby, wind is full of trash

She bold as the street light, dark and sweet as hash

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon

Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon

Reach down for the sweet stuff, when she looks at me

I know any man sees you like I see

Follow down the side street movin' single file

She say...

"That's where I'll hold you, sleepin' like a child"

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon

Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon

Just what I've been needin', feel it rise in me

She say...

"Every stone a story, like a rosary"

Corner St. Teresa, just a little crime

When I make my money, got to get my dime

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon

Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon

You called up in the sky

You called up in the clouds

Is there something you forgot to tell me...

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Show me, my Teresa, feel it rise in me

Every stone a story, like a rosary

Man In The Long Black Coat lyrics - Joan Osborne

Crickets are chirpin' the water is high

There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin' dry

Window's wide open African trees

Bent over backwards in a hurricane breeze

Not a word, a goodbye, not even a note

She's gone with the man in the long black coat

Somebody seem him hangin' around

At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town

He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask

If he wanted to dance he had a face like a mask

Somebody said, from the Bible he quote

There was dust on the man in the long black coat

Preacher was talkin' there's a sermon he gave

He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved

You cannot depend on it to be your guide

When it's you who must keep it satisfied

It ain't easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat

She give her heart to the man in the long black coat

One, two...

There are no mistakes in life some people say

It's true sometimes you can see it that way

People don't live or die, people just float

She give her heart to the man in the long black coat

There's smoke on the water, it's been there since June

Tree trunks uprooted in the high crescent moon

Hear the pulse and vibrations and the rumblin' force

Somebody's out there beating on a dead horse

She never said nothin', there was nothin' she wrote

She's gone with the man in the long black coat

She's gone

Gone with the man in the long black coat

Right Hand Man lyrics - Joan Osborne

Let me use your toothbrush

Have you got a clean shirt?

My panties are in a wad

At the bottom of my purse

I walk into the street

The air's so cool

I'm wired and I'm tired

And I'm grinnin' like a fool

I've been on the floor lookin' for a chair

I've been on a chair lookin' for a couch

And I've been on a couch lookin' for a bed...

Lookin' for a bed

Lookin' for my, my...

My right hand, my right hand man

Say... my right hand, my right hand man

My right hand, my right hand man

If he can't fix it, I don't know who can

Sensin' me a salesman

And the cops on the block

They know what I been doin'

They see the way I walk

I wonder what they see now

I wonder what they do

To feel somebody want them

The way I'm wanting you

I've been on the floor lookin' for a chair

I've been on a chair lookin' for a couch

And I've been on a couch lookin' for a bed...

Lookin' for a bed

Lookin' for... to really be...

My right hand, my right hand man

Say... my right hand, my right hand man

My right hand, my right hand man

Use me up if you think you can

I've been on the floor lookin' for a chair

I've been on a chair lookin' for a couch

And I've been on a couch lookin' for a bed...

Lookin' for a bed

Lookin' for my...

My right hand, my right hand man

Say... my right hand, my right hand man

My right hand, my right hand man

Say... my right hand, my right hand man

My right hand, my right hand man

If he can't fix it, gonna find a boy who can

Pensacola lyrics - Joan Osborne

Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey

Well, I found him in Pensacola

In a trailer in the sand

The man from the picture

Creased and yellow in my hand

He was squinting and stubbled

And standing in the door

He said, "If you've come to take the car away

I don't have it anymore

I don't have it anymore"

Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey

He got the gospel on the radio

And the gospel on TV

He got all of the transcripts

Back to 1963

He said, "I sold my blood for money

There wasn't any pain

But I just can't stand the feeling

It's in someone else's veins"

It's in someone else's vei-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey

Vei-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey

Mama took me aside

And she tried to change my mind

She said, "Don't waste your time in looking

There's nothin', nothin' left to find

Nothin', nothin' left to find"

So I left him in Pensacola

In a trailer in the sand

The man from the picture

Creased and yellow in my hand

Creased and yellow in my ha-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey

Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey

Hey-hey, yay-yay

Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey

Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey

Dracula Moon lyrics - Joan Osborne

Where are the bones on that one?

What if the cure is worse than the disease?

Serve me up some pretty, pretty people

Serve me up somebody I can believe

Don't feel sorry for me

I hate that look on your face

You say, "Just let go"

You say, "come back home"

I say, "I'm just fallin' from grace"

I'm naked in a hotel room

My station comin' in, comin' in loud and clear

I'm makin' out with my one true love

I'm makin' this hotel room disappear

Stop feelin' sorry for me

I hate that look on your face

You say, "Just let go"

You say, "come back home"

I say, "I'm just fallin' from grace"

Said that I'm like fallin' from grace

You'd never know it to look at me

Under the Dracula moon

Love comes down any way it wants to

Doesn't ask for your permission

Open up your arms or it will break you in two

Stop feelin' sorry for me

I hate that look on your face

You say, "Just let go"

You say, "Come back home"

I say, "I'm just fallin' from grace"

Said that I'm just fallin' from grace

Just fallin'

Just fallin'...

(I'm smooth and heavy all over the world

I'm smooth and heavy all over the world?)

One Of Us lyrics - Joan Osborne

So one of these nights and about twelve o'clock

This old world's going to reel and rock

Saints will tremble and cry for pain

For the Lord's gonna come in his heavenly airplane

If God had a name, what would it be?

And would you call it to his face

If you were faced with Him in all His glory?

What would you ask if you had just one question?

And yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us?

Just a slob like one of us?

Just a stranger on the bus

Trying to make His way home?

If God had a face, what would it look like?

And would you want to see

If seeing meant that you would have to believe

In things like Heaven and in Jesus and the saints

And all the prophets? And...

Yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus

Trying to make His way home?

Tryin' to make His way home

Back up to Heaven all alone

Nobody callin' on the phone

'Cept for the Pope, maybe, in Rome

Yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus

Trying to make His way home?

Just tryin' to make His way home

Like a holy rolling stone

Back up to Heaven all alone

Just tryin' to make His way home

Nobody callin' on the phone

'Cept for the Pope, maybe, in Rome

Ladder lyrics - Joan Osborne

Today and everyday, today and everyday

I'm standin' here in your closet

Unbuttonin' all your clothes

I sleep in your bed tonight

But I never find you home

You're givin' me crooked answers

I'm crackin' your little code

I'm learnin' another language

So full it's about to explode

You gave me a ladder now

I surely believe I'll climb

It don't even matter now

I'm willing to take my time

I'm gonna love you anyway,

Today and every day, today and everyday

I'm gonna love you anyway,

Today and every day, today and everyday

I wanted it to be easy

I know that I'll make you tired

Some tell me you're slow and lazy

Some tell me you're so inspired

You wanted a long flirtation

Your plane doesn't ever land

Some things I don't want to look at

I don't want to understand

You gave me a ladder now

I surely believe I'll climb

It don't even matter now

I'm willing to take my time

I'm gonna love you anyway,

Today and every day, today and everyday

I'm gonna love you anyway,

Today and every day, today and everyday

Today and everyday...

Spider Web lyrics - Joan Osborne

"I dreamed about Ray Charles last night and he could see just fine"

I dreamed about Ray Charles last night

And he could see just fine, you know

I asked him for a lullaby. He said,

"Honey, I don't sing no more"

No more, no more, no more, Ray don't sing no more

He said, "Since I got my eyesight back, my voice has just deserted me

No 'Georgia On My Mind' no more. I stay in bed with MTV"

Then Ray took his glasses off and I could look inside his head

Flashing like a thunderstorm, I saw a shining spider web

Spider web, spider web, spider web in Ray Charles' head

I dreamed about Ray Charles last night

He took me flying in the air

Showed me my own spider web; Said,

"Honey, you had best take care

The world is made of spider webs

the threads are stuck to me and you

Careful what you're wishing for,

'cause when you gain, you just might lose"

You just might lose your spider web, spider web, spider web Ray Charles said

When you're feeling lonely, when you're hiding in your bed,

don't forget your string of pearls, don't forget your spider web

When I go to sleep tonight, don't let me dream of brother Ray

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he sees

Just like him best the other way

Spider web, spider web, spider web Ray Charles said

Spider web, spider web, spider web Ray Charles' head

All I got's my spider web, keepin' me alive

"Come on Ray"

Let's Just Get Naked lyrics - Joan Osborne

"I know what you're hiding from me

You know what I'm hiding from you

I know that you hurt me real bad

You know that I hurt you bad, too

Let's just get naked, just for a laugh

Let's just get naked

It's a trip and a half

Here comes that story again, all about that television show

Here comes my typical response

Won't you tell me something I don't know?

And I'm pissed off about being the cops and

you're pissed off about being the maid

And how long 'til they shut off the phone or

'til the next time we get laid?

Let's just get naked, just for a laugh

Let's just get naked

It's a trip and a half, trip and a half

We've been together so long

I hope it wasn't just the drugs

What happened to the energy we had,

the morning glories and the rodeo hugs

And I know you like the back of my hand

with a stamp that says I paid to get in.

And yes I am your television show

And you're the nicest place I've ever been

Let's just get naked, just for a laugh

Let's just get naked

It wouldn't be so bad

Let's just get naked, just for a laugh

Let's just get naked

It's a trip and a half, trip and a half

Let's just get naked, just for a laugh"

Help Me lyrics - Joan Osborne

"You got to help me, baby

I can't do it all by myself

You got to help me, baby

I can't do it all by myself

If you don't help me, daddy, gotta find somebody else

Put on your nightshirt, baby

Yeah, I'm in my morning gown

Put on your nightshirt, baby

Yeah, I'm in my morning gown

Don't feel sleepy, I just feel like lying down"

Crazy Baby lyrics - Joan Osborne

And your hands are really shakin something awful

As you light your 27th cigarette

Oh how long have you been sittin in the darkness

You forget

Oh you know you're gettin really hard to be with

And you're cryin every time you turn around

And you wonder why you can not pick your head up

Off the ground

Oh my crazy baby

Try to hold on tight

Oh my crazy baby

Don't put out the light, the light,

the light, the light

And they look at you like they don't speak your language

And you're living at the bottom of a well

And you swallowed all the awful bloody secrets

That you can't tell

Oh you know you ought to get yourself together

But you can not bear to walk outside your door

No, you can not bear to look into the mirror

Anymore, anymore

Oh my crazy baby

Try to hold on tight

Oh my crazy baby

Don't put out the light, the light,

the light, the light

And your hands are really shakin something awful

As your worries crawl around inside your clothes

Ooh how long will you be sittin in the darkness

Heaven knows

Oh my crazy baby

Try to hold on tight

Oh my crazy baby

Don't put out the light, the light,

the light, the light, the light,

the light, the light

Real Love lyrics - Joan Osborne

I'm just lookin' for some

Real love

I'm just lookin' for some

Real love

I'm tired and I'm lookin' for the

Real love

Real love, real love, real love

Can't you see me now I'm lookin for a

Real love

Like a baby I been cryin for the

Real love

All night long I been a'dreamin about

Real love

Real love real love real love

Now I ain't talking bout a chance liason

Or a complicated contractual affair

When you don't know when or where to go

I want all that matters here

Can't you see me when I'm lookin for the

Real love

All day long I been a thinkin' about

Real love

Can't anybody help me with a

Real love

Real love real love real love

Now mistakes, I've made a few

And misery she's had her chances

But when it comes down to you

I want nothin but the real circumstances

Can't you feel me now I'm lookin for a

Real love

Like a baby I been cryin for a

Real love

Can't anybody help me with a

Real love

With a real with a real with a real ...

Spooky lyrics - Joan Osborne

(originally by Classics IV)

In the cool of the evening

When everything is looking kind of groovy

I call you up and ask you

If you'd like to go with me and see a movie

First you say no, you've got some plans for the night

And then you stop, and say, all right

Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

You always keep me guessing

I never really know what you are thinking

And if a fella looks at you

Well it's for sure your little eyes will be a-winking

I get confused, cause I don't know where I stand

And then you smile, and hold my hand

Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

Oh, what you do?

Sometimes I'm just so weary

And I think I've had enough of you misleading

I swear I'll do without you

And I'll find someone to give me what I'm needing

I look in your eyes so I can tell you goodbye

And then I stop, and say, my, my...

Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

Kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

[Chorus:]
Lumina
Come and wrap around me
Lumina
Take me through the snow

Eve take a train, Eve took a train
Went to see her man
Melting inside, melting away
Like butter in the pan

[Chorus]

Eve took a fruit, Eve bit the fruit
Just ran down her chin
Babies will put things in their mouths
Never heard of sin

Lumina
Open like the sea
Lumina
Sing me in the dark

Eve had to ask, Eve had to ask
What is wrong with this?
Here is the place, now is the time
Let's invent the kiss

Lumina
Come and wrap around me
Lumina
Come and wrap around me

Come and wrap around me [x3]
