Track Name: Citronella
Citronella lives on my block
She rides the bus with me
Citronella gets off on the second bus stop
She's the prettiest girl in the eighth grade

Citronella, I love you - I just want you to know
Citronella, I need you so badly badly badly
You're the only girl for me in the eighth grade

I'm gonna ask Citronella to the Halloween dance
We can dress up like king and queen
Citronella goes with some other guy to the Halloween dance
They dress up like doctor and nurse

Oh Lord, I don't know what I'm gonna do
It's just tearing me apart
Lord, I've never felt so blue
How am I supposed to mend this broken heart?

Citronella, I love you - I just want you to know
Citronella, I need you so badly badly badly
You're the only girl for me in the eighth grade

I'm gonna give Citronella one more chance
To prove who is the best man
Gonna ask her to the Christmas dance
I hope she'll say yes because
My daddy's gonna pick us up in the big white van
We can sit in the way way back
I'm gonna take Citronella by the hand
I'm gonna tell her that, you know

Citronella, I love you - I just want you to know
Citronella, I need you so badly badly badly
You're the only girl for me in the eighth grade
Track Name: Shameless
With a walk on the water
And no one stepped here
You know you anger
Illuminates what’s good in him
Without that voice
It’s just another lighthouse

It’s all the same wherever he goes
Change always stays the same
He wants a different life
But the one he has know is just too much fun

Shameless
Friday night is right for raging
Shameless
We all believe he can justify it

He’s like a dog who eats until he cannot move
For every five, there’s another two
And that empty stare is just another sign

He tries to do right but it’s just a gesture
Not a feeling from within
There are no honest words
Just honest intent

Shameless
Saturday is best forgotten
Shameless
And she can no longer justify it
Track Name: From One to Another
Instrumental
