Stephanie Says

Stephanie says
that she wants to know
Why she's given half her life
to people she hates now

Stephanie says (Stephanie says)
when answering the phone (answering the phone)
What country shall I say is calling
from across the world

But she's not afraid to die
the people all call her "Alaska"
Between worlds so the people ask her
'Cause it's all in her mind
it's all in her mind

Stephanie says (Stephanie says)
that she wants to know (she wants to know)
Why it is though she's the door
she can't be the room

Stephanie says (Stephanie says)
but doesn't hang up the phone (hang up the phone)
What sea shell sea is calling
from across the world

But she's not afraid to die
the people all call her "Alaska"
Between worlds so the people ask her
'Cause it's all in her mind
it's all in her mind

They're asking is it good or bad
It's such an icy feeling
It's so cold in Alaska
It's so cold in Alaska
It's so cold in Alaska

Temptation Inside Your Heart

(someone shut the door)

I know where temptation lies
inside of you heart (you can talk during this)
I know where the evil lies
inside of your heart (well get out of here)

If you're gonna try to make it right
you're surely gonna end up wrong (wrong wrong wrong wrong)

(oh, shut the door, ahh!)
(it's only a quarter to nine, I don't know)

I know where the mirror's edge
is inside of your heart (I'll bet she didn't pay a dollar for it)
I know where the razor's edge
is inside of your heart

(motown)
(it's not even five feet)

Well, if you're gonna make it right
you're surely gonna end up wrong

(you don't look like Martha and the Vandellas)
(oh, it's gonna start it all over again somebody get him out of here)

(electricity comes from other planets)
(ooohhh)
(it's not that a bad solo, four times, oh)
(it's pretty together)
(you can't say that)
(yes I can, I can talk to myself this way)
(I'll lock the door this time)

I know where the temptation lies
inside of your heart (yes, he's ready)
I know where the evil lies
inside of your heart (is he ready?)

Well if you're gonna try to make it right
your surely gonna end up wrong

(oh, the hole mess start again)
(well, NY buildings are very high)
(and you're not at all offensive, lock the door)
(it's going to carry on indefinite length, my dear)
(the pope and the silver castle)
(is that awful?)
(hey, that's fine)
(that's fine)
