Sara Bareilles: Between The Lines: Live At The Fillmore (CD/DVD)

Gonna sell my car and go to Vegas
'Cause somebody told me that's where dreams will be
Gonna sell my car and go to Vegas
Finally see my name on a Palace marquee

Gonna quit my job and move to New York
'Cause somebody told me that's where dreamers should go
I'm gonna quit my job and move to New York
Tattoo my body with every Broadway show

Listen up now, honey
You're gonna be sorry
I can't get out from under a sky
That is falling and you say

No fame, no money, I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me
Down on my knees
Next stop Vegas, please

I gotta get to Vegas
Can you take me to Vegas?

Gonna sell my house and cross the border
(You got a dream)
'Cause somebody told me dreams live in Mexico
I'm gonna sell my house, I got to lose ten pounds
And cross the border, make sweet love
On a white sandy shore

Listen up now, honey
You're gonna be sorry
Can't get out from under a sky
That is falling and you say

No fame, no money, I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me
Down on my knees
The next stop Vegas, please

Door was just around the corner
Oh, you're on your way to somewhere
That is bigger, better
If you could only get there

It's never your fault
You can't start your own winning streak
But I'd hate to lose you
To the fortune you seek

I wanna loose my mind and sail the ocean
'Cause somebody told me there were cherry blue skies
I'm gonna fix my mind with a final destination
And have a deep sleep up on a sweet dream
I've never realized, no

But listen up now, honey
You're gonna be sorry
You can't get out from under a sky
That is falling and you say

No fame, no money, I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me
Down on my knees
The next stop, Vegas, please

Can you take me to Vegas?
I need to see Vegas
Take me to Vegas

We met on a rainy evening in the summertime
Don't think I need to tell you more
I needed a raise, I worked so hard for this love of mine
Still I got nothing to show for it

Here's a simplification of everything we're going through, oh
You plus me is bad news
You're a lovely creation, I like to think that I am too
My friend said, I look better without you

Tongue tied and twisted
But go on baby and go to my head

Babe, baby, believe me
If I stay, it ain't gonna be easy
Okay, we'll do it your way
But this is the last time

You'll hear the beautiful sound
Of love coming down
Love on the rocks

You love the chase but hate me for the runaround
We both just tired of the whole thing
And you tell me what you want
You need, you know, you have to have
I just pretend I'm listening

Too tired this time, oh
To deal with old suits you wear
Your ties that won't bind

Babe, baby, believe me, ooh
If I stay, it ain't gonna be easy
Okay, we'll do it your way
But this is the last time

You'll hear the beautiful sound
Of love coming down

Hot as hell, cold as ice, sip it slow 'cause it's so nice
Dulls my senses, drives my pain but I do it again
Burns a bit to the touch, dangerous if it's too much
If this bottle could talk

Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks, yeah

Ooh baby, baby, baby, baby, believe me
You'll hear the beautiful sound
Of love coming down

Cinderella's on her bedroom floor
She's got a crush on the guy at the liquor store
'Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore
And she forgets why she came here

Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood for shame
She says, "None for you, dear Prince, I'm tired today
I'd rather sleep my whole life away
Than have you keep me from dreaming"

I don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried 'bout the maiden
Though you know she's only waiting
On the next best thing, next best thing, yeah

Snow White is doing dishes again
'Cause what else could you do with seven itty-bitty men?
Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend
Says, "Would you meet me at midnight?", Oh

The tall blond lets out a cry of despair
Says, "Would've cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
I'll have to find another tower somewhere
Keep away from the windows"

I don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried 'bout the maiden
Though you know she's only waiting
On the next best thing, next best thing, yeah

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story, said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
But I don't want the next best thing

So I sing, I hold my head down
And I break these walls 'round me
Can't take no more of your fairytale love

I don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried 'bout the maiden
Though you know she's only waiting
Spent her whole life being graded
On the sanctity of patience

And a dumb appreciation
But the story needs some mending
And a better happy ending
'Cause I don't want the next best thing
No, no, I don't want the next best thing

There's a harvest each Saturday night
At the bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride
A place you can stand for one night, get gone

And it's clear, this conversation ain't doing a thing
'Cause these boys only listen to me when I sing
And I don't feel like singing tonight all the same songs

Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
There's nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold you?

The situation's always the same
You got your wolves in their clothes
Whispering Hollywood's name
Stealing gold from the silver they see
But it's not me

Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
There's nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold you?

Calling out, somebody save me
I feel like I'm fading away, I've gone
Calling out, somebody save me
I feel like I'm fading, I'm fading

No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, no

Deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
There's nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold you?

There's too many things I haven't done yet
There's too many sunsets I haven't seen
You can't waste the day wishing it'd slow down
You would have thought by now, I'd have learned something

I made up my mind when I was a young girl
I've been given this one world, I won't worry away, no
But now and again, I lose sight of the good life
I get stuck in a low light but then love comes in

How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles but send me the miles
And I'll be happy to follow you, love

I do what I can wherever I end up
To keep giving my good love and spreading it around
'Cause I've had my fair share of take care and goodbyes
I've learned how to cry and I'm better for that, sing

How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, send me the miles
And I'll be happy to

Red letter day, I'm in a blue mood
Wishing that blue would just carry me away
I've been talking to God, don't know if it's helping or not
But surely something has got to, got to, got to give
'Cause I can't keep waiting to live

How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles but send me the miles
I'll be happy to

How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles

How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, send me the miles
And I'll be happy to follow you, love

There's too many things I haven't done yet
There's too many sunsets I haven't seen
