Dough Re Mi 02:32
the cookie DOUGH was still unfinished RAYS of sunlight gleaming off the stainless bowl it took ME too long to realise what I thought was home is FAR from home and sticks and stones couldn’t help me and jam and scones couldn’t help me ascending tones couldn’t help me and these unknowns couldn’t help me at all oh no, not at all SO I learnt to take my baggage and LA-la-lug it all behind me fast TEA gets cold and DOUGH gets old and I know that all good things cannot last and sticks and stones couldn’t help me and jam and scones couldn’t help me ascending tones couldn’t help me and these unknowns will never help me at all

I whisk you were here why aren’t you near me? I want you to call I want you to care I want you to be there I whisk you were here why can’t you hear me? I want you to see I want you to care I want you to be there for me again I whisk you were here I want you here with me I miss you so much I’d die for a touch I’d die for no reason at all I whisk you were here I wish you were here

well you know I’ve been sweet as sugar to you let you do whatever you wanted to do but my patience is wearing thin my endurance is running out you strain my nerves with your reservations and doubt well you know I’ve been sweet as sugar for days but maybe I ought to put you into your place you’ve no right to be so bold your temper is getting old you’re grating on me with this contrarian phase ba ba ba da da da da… well you know I’ve been sweet as sugar and more but I don’t quite know what I’m being sweet for my efforts are going nowhere my anger is boiling over maybe it’s time that I showed you to the door

you’re the apple of my pie you’re the flower/flour of my heart you’re the apple of my pie you’re the stop and you’re the start you’re the reason I would wait for hours in this god-forsaken oven of a town I could swear that you have got leavening powers ‘cause my spirits rise whenever you’re around! you’re the apple of my pie you’re the currents/currants in my stream you’re the apple of my pie you’re the skill and you’re the thrill and you’re the dream you’re the reason I would wait for hours in this god-forsaken oven of a town I could swear that you have got leavening powers ‘cause when you are with me nothing gets me down! you’re the apple of my pie…

Half-Baked 03:48
you think you’re so clever, don’t you honey? you walk that high wire over everybody else you think you’ve got guts if you say so yourself you crave attention, don’t you baby? too proud to mention to anybody else your true intentions or if you need help but your plans are so half-baked thinking this’ll be a piece of cake but you just can’t have your cake and eat it too yeah you’re going off half-cocked thinking this’ll be a cakewalk but if you make your bed you’ll have to lie in it too you want to be at the center of it all always for free and you’re sure to have a ball it’s guaranteed if you trust yourself to freefall you have your ways of ignoring the truth yes you have your ways of denying the proof that’s in the pudding if you’d only see it but your plans are so half-baked thinking this’ll be a piece of cake but you just can’t have your cake and eat it too yeah you’re going off half-cocked thinking this’ll be a cakewalk but if you make your bed you’ll have to lie in it too do do do do do do do do do… yeah your plans are so half-baked thinking this’ll be a piece of cake but you just can’t have your cake and eat it too yeah you’re going off half-cocked thinking this’ll be a cakewalk but if you dig your grave you’ll have to lie in it too oh if you dig your grave you’ll have to lie in it too yes if you dig your grave you’ll have to lie in it too
