Well you been caught lyin' and now your troubles they keep multiplying
Take a step back girl at the web you're spinning
It will be crashing down on you
When one reaction hits with another
And your distractions just blow your cover
Well you been caught lyin' and now I'm coming after you
Well, I won't tell you it's been simple being a sex symbol
With deep thoughts like yeah yeah yeah
I'm a million different people and everybody's welcome to stare
To stay sweet or look manly, but I'm just your arm candy
And I won't tell you it's been simple
Being a sex symbol
Objectification powered by your imagination
I'm just a toy, but I'm a damn good actor
And now I'm coming after you
You hear my opinion cuz it's my game and you can't win
Cuz I am the banker
And I've been hearing about the nasty things you do
Well, I won't tell you it's been simple being a sex symbol
With deep thoughts like yeah yeah yeah
I'm a million different people and everybody's welcome to stare
To stay sweet or look manly, but I'm just your arm candy
And I won't tell you it's been simple
Being a sex symbol
I won't tell you it's been simple being a sex symbol
With deep thoughts like yeah yeah yeah
I'm a million different people, but girl you never seem to care
To stay sweet or look manly, but I'm just your arm candy
And I won't tell you it's been simple
Being a sex symbol
I'm just arm candy!
Just arm candy
I'm just a pretty face you drag all over the place - oh yeah!
Well, I'm just arm candy!

I got a premonition goin' round in my brain
I got a premonition things ain't the same
Cuz it's late at night and you're not home
It's late at night and I'm all alone
Well, I got these things goin' round in my head
Like maybe my woman - she just want me dead
And all these things we've left unsaid
We say 'em again!
I got my suspicions when we talk on the phone
I didn't know your roommate baby had a voice that low
But don't be mistaken. Could I accuse you of wrong?
Is it even worth tryin' baby, are you already gone?
Well I got these things goin' round in my head
Like maybe my woman - she just want me dead
And all these things that we've left unsaid
We say 'em again!
I got these things goin' round in my head
Like maybe my woman - she just want me dead
And all these things we left unsaid
We say 'em again!
I got a premonition

Yeah Yeah Yeeaaah Yeah!

Champagne and memories have gone straight to my head
With your perfume that lingers on the blankets of my bed
Though you've only left this morning I must see you again
Cuz I tried to tell you once but now I know it must be said how
More and more yes my heart it beats for you
More and more yes I need you through and through
More and more I just wanna be with you
You're the vision of perfection just look in my direction
Just once more - more and more
We stood together on the chapel roof
As I held you so tightly as we searched for living proof
Threw a cheesecake into the darkness
And laughed at all the stars
As I tried to find the words that were written in my heart like
More and more yes my heart it beats for you
More and more yes I need you through and through
More and more I just wanna be with you
You're the vision of perfection just look in my direction
Just once more - more and more
It's four and the morning and you've got me thinking
How I could stay with you
And without a warning, the fog is clearing
On the path I thought I knew
When you leave the burden of what was certain
In you fallen yesterdays
If you come callin' well I'll come running
I'll come running all the way
See I'm just learning how to breath
For so long I have been broken, but I'm learning how to see
And I know I'm just learning how to fall
Swear I was born here this morning and I'm learning how to crawl and I know
I'm just learning how to breath
Learning how to breath
So give me something to believe
Champagne and memories have gone straight to my head
With your perfume that lingers on the blankets of my bed
Though you've only left this morning I must see you again
Cuz I tried to tell you once but now I know it must be said how
Chorus:
More and more yes my heart it beats for you
More and more yes I need you through and through
More and more I just wanna be with you
You're the vision of perfection just look in my direction
Just once more - more and more
More and more
More and more

Hear the sound of falling rain
Do you think it'll be like this again?
Your cat rolling on the floor
As I come running to your door
Hear the sound of falling rain
Somehow you get me through the strain
You do it every day
Well, did I ever say how . . .
I love the way you fit in my arms
Yes it's cold outside, but girl you keep me warm
I love the way you fit in my arms
And I need you more than yesterday
I love you even more than yesterday
Thunder's loud, but it's outside
In your room, we've got a place to hide
Well we've got no T.V.
But girl you're all I need
So how could I compete?
Well it's your scent that keeps my pillows sweet
And you win every game
Wouldn't want it any other way because . . .
I love the way you fit in my arms
Yes it's cold outside, but girl you keep me warm
I love the way you fit in my arms
And I need you more than yesterday
I love you even more than yesterday
I'm starting to see
All the wonders we could be
I think you're all I need
Forgive me girl, but I'm coming clean, because . . .
I love the way you fit in my arms
Yes it's cold outside, but girl you keep me warm
I love the way you fit in my arms
And I need you more than yesterday
I love you even more than yesterday
I love you even more than yesterday
I love you even more than yesterday

Love on a wire
Girl I’m inspired by you
Love on a wire
I saw you dancin’ in a club last night
You were looking out of sight
You said, “I’m not here for you, I’m out here with my girls.”
I said, “Come on, won’t you save me a dance?”
You said, “Boy, you once had a chance, but you blew it.
You blew it when you were chasing some stupid girl.
You were chasing some stupid girl.”
Well, I’m sorry Laura McHugh
But what was I to do?
You look so good with your blue eyeliner
What am I to do?
What am I to do about you?
You kissed me once then you kissed me twice.
I said, “Hey, that was kind of nice.”
You said, “The rest can live in your imagination.”
I said, “Laura, tomorrow I’ll be gone.”
You said, “Boy, write it down in a song,
Cuz tonight – our night – our night is over.”
I’m sorry Laura McHugh
But what was I to do?
You look so good with your blue eyeliner
What am I to do?
What am I to do about you?
It was love on a wire
Girl I’m inspired by you
Love on a wire
Love on a wire
Girl I’m inspired by you
Love on a wire
Well, I’m sorry Laura McHugh
But what was I to do?
You look so good with your blue eyeliner
What am I to do?
What am I to do about you?
What am I to do about you?
What am I to do about you?
What am I to do about you?
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
What am I to do about you?

When they look back a hundred years from now
What will they say or will I have faded away?
With all the time, did I put it to good use?
I spent it well cuz I spent my time with you
And darlin' I was thinking about what you said
You know I never meant to make you made
In all the good times, all the bad
You're the best thing I ever had
So woman just meet me down the line
If you got the patience, I got the time
Show a little faith, I will pay you in kind
Cuz you're always - you're always on my mind
You're on my mind
When it all comes down to a fading sun
It burned so bright. Girl, you are the only one.
So let it fade cuz I would never trade a piece of a moment
From all the love we made
And darlin' I was thinking about what you said
You know I never meant to make you made
In all the good times, all the bad
You're the best thing I ever had
So woman just meet me down the line
If you got the patience, honey, I got the time
Show a little faith, I will pay you in kind
Cuz you're always - you're always on my mind
You're on my mind
And in this life, I was searching for a truth
That I found when I spent my time with you
And darlin' I was thinking about what you said
You know I never meant to make you made
In all the good times, all the bad
You're the best thing I ever had
So woman just meet me down the line
If you got the patience, I got the time
Show a little faith, I will pay you in kind
Cuz you're always - you're always on my mind
You're on my mind

Who has two thumbs and doesn’t give a shit?
Who saw the light and said it’s time to quit?
Well, that guy won’t be coming around no more
You can board up your windows,
But I won’t be at your door
Cuz that guy’s not here anymore
And I was thinking about the times I had you
Girl, you’ve been looking like a burnt banana
Cuz your skin can only take so much sun
Well you only disappoint me and you stopped being fun
And this guy knows when to cut and run
You can keep your pills and poison
Don’t try to tantalize
I’ve seen the new day dawning
And I’ve opened up my eyes
We were a cold combination
But now I realize
That you, you don’t cut it for me
No you, you don't cut it for me
Who has two thumbs doesn’t give a shit?
Who saw the light and said it’s time to quit?
Well, that guy won’t be coming around no more
You can board up your windows,
But I won’t be at your door
Cuz that guy’s not here anymore
He's gone for . . .
Summer romance, summer romance,

And the voice in my head said rock was dead
I said shut up cuz you're a homewrecker
Let it fill up your speakers. Let it blow up your mind.
And if you wanna kill me, you better get in line.
Get in line!
Cuz there's a war goin' on not inside of my brain
And people dying and people in pain
And you wanna find an undying truth
But the way we're living, what's the use?
What's the use?
Little Voices, little voices
Undercutting all of my choices
He said she said
What's going on? Is tomorrow the setting sun?
Setting sun
I was deader than disco, caught out in the rain
Trying to cover all the blood stains
But the truth you cannot hide
Like when I stare into your cocaine eyes
Your cocaine eyes
Little Voices, little voices
Undercutting all of my choices
He said she said
What's going on? Is tomorrow the setting sun?
Setting sun
I'm gonna be there when you need me
Love you completely - that you cannot doubt
Eyes of love, you are staring, enter arms so caring
You cannot doubt
I'm gonna catch you when you burn out
Little Voices, little voices
Undercutting all of my choices
He said she said
What's going on? Is tomorrow the setting sun?
Setting sun

Well I just hope you love me like I love you
Cuz you're everything I cherish and I need you
So I'll say it. I'll say it again
How I praise the day you came to my door
Cuz I wasn't alone anymore
For better or for worse
I'm a blessing and I'm a curse
You're everything I cherish
You're every little thing
Every little thing I cherish
And you can't shake me if you tried
You got my heart and soul on fire
You're every little thing
Every little thing I cherish
So meet me in the morning
And I'll greet you in the sunshine's sweet bliss.
Maybe we're the only ones so girl you gotta remember this
When you took your hand in mine
And when I held you for the very first time
For better or for worse
I'm a blessing and I'm a curse
You're everything I cherish
You're every little thing
Every little thing I cherish
And you can't shake me if you tried
You got my heart and soul on fire
You're every little thing
Every little thing I cherish
Hell yeah, hell yeah!
Remember when caught your name?
Well you should have known better.
I was hopin' that you'd feel the same
Well, I should have known better.
But the worst of times
I've seen the best of you
You gotta heart of gold
I'm gonna stick like glue
Oh girl! You should have known better and that . . .
That for better or for worse
I'm a blessing and I'm a curse
You're everything I cherish
You're every little thing
Every little thing I cherish
And you can't shake me if you tried
You got my heart and soul on fire
You're every little thing
Every little thing I cherish
Hell yeah!
For better or for worse
I was a blessing and I was a curse
You're everything I cherish
You're every little thing
Every little thing I cherish
Hell yeah!

We cross a line from time to time
We may get caught, but we pay the fine
You can’t look cool all the time
We’ve seen the world
We know it’s thankless
We ran with cowboys
Danced with gangsters
Yet, we may get out alive
So baby baby please don’t hurt me
Your love your love it leaves me thirsty
And I don’t wanna be here without you
And baby baby I know you’re crazy
But maybe maybe it’s why you amaze me
And it just doesn’t work without you
We never had a perfect plan
I hid in the dark as the other man
'til I thought it was better if I’d leave
I’d think about you now and then
And how I miss my best friend
Gotta find a way to make you see
So baby baby please don’t hurt me
Your love your love it leaves me thirsty
And I don’t wanna be here without you
And baby baby I know you’re crazy
But maybe maybe it’s why you amaze me
And it just doesn’t work without you
And baby I miss you through the lonely night
Gotta find a way to make things right
I love how you’d kiss me when I was asleep
Girl you bring out the best in me
We cross a line from time to time
We may get caught, but we pay the fine
You can’t look cool all the time
We’ve seen the world
We know it’s thankless
We ran with cowboys
Danced with gangsters
Yet, we may get out alive
So baby baby please don’t hurt me
Your love your love it leaves me thirsty
And I don’t want to be here without you
And baby baby I know you’re crazy
But maybe maybe it’s why you amaze me
And it just doesn’t work without you

It’s a long road out of Eden
And it’s warm in the desert sand.
I sailed the seas of peril
Saw the lights of the distant lands.
On the other side, I’m a rambler
Where they claim, I’ve lost my way
I’m just a recluse and gambler
But baby hear what I got to say
I just wanna to hold you
I wanna make you understand
Don’t you know that
You could be my baby and I could be your lovin’ man
I saw the moon over Paris
It ain’t got nothin’ on your eyes
I’m just a poor fool trying to express
A love he can’t describe
I just wanna hold you
I wanna make you understand
Don’t you know that
You could be my baby and I could be your lovin’ man
You see it’ll be fine cuz we got time
You get in trouble and I will throw you a line
Cuz I could be yours and you could be mine
Yours and mine – we’re livin’ in the sunshine
It’s a long road out of Eden and it's warm in the desert sand
But it’s a whole lot better baby if you just take my hand
I just wanna to hold you
I wanna make you understand
Don’t you know that
You could be my baby and I could be your lovin’ man
I just wanna hold you
I wanna make you understand
Don’t you know that
You could be my baby and I could be your lovin’ man
I could be your lovin’ man
I could be your lovin’ man

I can say I lived forever in just one day
When all my troubles fade away
Troubles fade away
See you there. We simply smile and then we stare.
People laugh and I don’t really care
They just fade away.
Think I have it all
Maybe I have it all?
Maybe I was waiting for you?
Try not to fall
That’s when you fall harder
Baby I was waiting for you.
In the car, you said the journey didn’t seem so far.
Time goes faster and we can say
We lived forever today.
Setting sun said the daylight had to run
Lie beneath the starry sky
Troubles fade away
Think I have it all
Maybe I have it all?
Maybe I was waiting for you?
Try not to fall
That’s when you fall harder
Baby I was waiting for you.
Fade, fade away
Troubles fade away
Let them fade away.
Think I have it all
Maybe I have it all?
Maybe I was waiting for you?
Try not to fall
That’s when you fall harder
Baby I was waiting for you.
We can say we lived forever in just one day
When all our troubles fade away
Troubles fade away

I want a girl who's insecure like me
Who gets real mad and soils the sheets
Thinks every word I say is a lie
Says my looks don't hypnotize
She loves that undying hatred when she looks into my eyes
And knows that I would kill any other guy
Yes, it's true and what about you?
Well, I need a girl with low self-esteem
Let's me trample her dignity
Funny when she starts to cry
When I tell her how I cheat and lie
She loves that undying hatred when she looks into my eyes
And knows that I would kill any other guy
Yes, it's true and what about you?
She loves that undying hatred when she looks into my eyes
And knows that I would kill any other guy
Yes, it's true and what about you?
I need a girl who's insecure like me

Thinks every word I say is a lie

And knows that I would kill any other guy
Yes, it's true and what about you?
Well, I need a girl screwed up like me
Like the girls in therapy
She holds my hand until it bleeds
Abandons me in my time of need
But she loves my straightjacket
And my imaginary friend Sam
She loves all my personalities
And thinks that we're all hams
Yes it's true and what about you?
Well you're a keeper

In 2009, Dan Miraldi released his solo debut, Thirsty. Originally recorded in a living room on a 16-track recorder, the album has been newly remixed and remastered. Keeping all of the original performances, this 2021 expanded reissue delivers everything that made Dan's debut compelling. Now with the sonic upgrade from new mixes and mastering, it's time to enjoy the album as the stone cold classic it always was. Exclusively on Bandcamp, listeners get the original 13-song album, plus 2 live bonus tracks and an alternate mix of the title track. Every story has a beginning, this is Dan's. This album yearns for rediscovery. Let's fall in love with it again.
