IT'S MY LIFE

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

It's my life
It's now or never
But I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive (It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your owns breaks

It's my life
And It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live when I'm alive (It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend don't break, baby don't back down

It's my life 
And it's now or never 
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever 
I just wanna live when I'm alive (It's my life) 
My heart is like an open highway 
Like Frankie said "I did it my way"
I just want to live while I'm alive 

It's my life 
And it's now or never 
I ain't gonna live forever 
I just wanna live when I'm alive (It's my life) 
My heart is like an open highway 
Like Frankie said "I did it my way" 
I just want to live while I'm alive 
'Cause it's my life!

SAY IT ISN'T SO

I just can't belive
It was all a lie
No man in the moon
Just a big light in the sky
I hear Disneyland
Might lose Mickey Mouse
In some giant hostile corporate skake-up
Tell me it's a nightmare
Please wake me up (say it isn't so)

I found a book of matches
From some place we've never been
How come you hang the phone up
The minute I walk in
Last night I had this dream
That I was losing you
I woke up in a cold sweat shaking
Rescue me my heart is breaking

Say it isn't so (tell me it's not true)
Sai it isn't so (I believe in you)
Tell me it's a lie (I don't need no proof)
Say everything's alright (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so

Superman don't fly
They did it all with strings
Elvis Presley died
The deep-fried the king
Like some tacky cheesy bathing beauty
Dancing on the beach in a bad B-movie

Say it isn't so (tell me it's not true)
Say it isn't so (I believe in you)
Tell me it's a lie (I don't need no proof)
Say everything's alright (couldn't be, not you)

Say it isn't so (don't give up on me)
Say it isn't so (don't give up on you)
Get me through the night (we will make it through)
Make everything alright (couldn't be, not you)

Say it isn't so (tell me it's not true)
Sai it isn't so (I believe in you)
Tell me it's a lie (I don't need no proof)
Say everything's alright (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so

THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME

It´s hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There´s no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
leave the world outside
All I´ve got to give to you
Are these five words when i

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn´t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn´t breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me

I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky´s a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you'd make believe
that you believed my lies

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn´t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn´t breathe
Thank you for loving me

You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your life to rescue me

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!....

Lock the doors
leave the world outside
All I´ve got to give to you
Are these five words when i

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
Oh, when I couldn´t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn´t breathe
Thank you for loving me

When I couldn´t fly
Oh, you gave me wings
You parted my lips
When I couldn´t breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
Oh, for loving me


 


 


 


TWO STORY TOWN


 
I couldn't sleep
Took a walk down 2nd Avenue
Sick of dreaming dreams that never come true
One way street and I know where its leading to

There's a For Sale sign on the front door of the city hall
The subway line got graffiti crawling off the wall
I could take a hit but I ain't gonna take the fall

That's just one side of the story
In the two story town

It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I’m gonna take my car and drive out of this two story town
The same old shit is going ’round
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
In a two story town

There's a girl that I sleep with
Got ecstasy eyes
He promised her roses and American pies
I called her and my demons
I kissed them both goodbye

It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I’m gonna take my car and drive out of this two story town
The same old shit is going ’round
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
In a two story town

One shot to make a move now
The ghosts are calling me out

And me I'm just one story
In a two story town
But you're never gonna find me in the lost and found

It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I’m gonna take my car and drive out of this two story town
The same old shit is going ’round
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
In a two story town

It's just the same old sights and the same old sounds
I’m gonna take my horse and ride him off this merry-go-round
I won't give in and I won't back down
I'm going down, down, down, down down
Never going down, down, down, down, down
I ain't going down, down, down, down, down
In a two story town
In this two story town

























 


NEXT 100 YEARS


 


Time ain't nothing but time
It's a verse with no rhyme
Man, it all comes down to you

Change ain't nothing but change
Just the faces and names
But you know we're gonna make it through

I'll believe
When you don't believe in anything

I'm gonna hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the shoulder that your leaning on
I'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
If it all should end tonight
I'll know it was worth the fight
And we'll be standing here
For the next 100 years

I, when I think that I'm losing my mind
It all comes back to you

And you, you know that it's true
After all we've been through
There's nothing I wouldn't do

Stand by me
And I would gladly give up everything

I'm gonna hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the shoulder that your leaning on
I'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
If it all should end tonight
I'll know it was worth the fight
And we'll be standing here
For the next 100 years

I'm gonna hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the shoulder that your leaning on
I'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
If it all should end tonight
I'll know it was worth the fight
And we'll be standing here
For the next 100 years

Time ain't nothing but time
It's a verse with no rhyme
Man, it all comes down to you


 


JUST OLDER


 


Hey, man it's been awhile do you remember me?
When I hit the streets I was 17 a little wild, a little green
I've been up and down and in between
After all these years and miles and memories
I'm still chasing dreams, but I ain't lookin' over my shoulder

I like the bed i'm sleeping in
It's just like me its broken in
It's not old, just older
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in its alright with me
It's not old, just older

It's good to see your face
You ain't no worse for wear
Breathing that California air
When we took on the world
we were young and brave
We got secrets that we'll take to the grave
And were standing here shoulder to shoulder

I like the bed i'm sleeping in
It's just like me its broken in
It's not old, just older
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in its alright with me
It's not old, just older

I'm not old enough to sing the blues
But I wore the holes in the soles of these shoes
You can roll the dice 'till they call your bluff
But you can't win until you're not afraid to lose, yeah

Well, I look in the mirror
I don't hate what I see
There's a few more lines staring back at me
Now the nights have grown a little bit colder
Hey man, I gotta run
You take care
If you see coach T, tell him i've cut my hair
I kept my faith
I still believe I'm just...   

I like the bed i'm sleeping in
It's just like me its broken in
It's not old, just older
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in its alright with me
It's not old, just older


 


 


 


MISERY TRAIN


 


There are days when she's a whisper
Nights when she's a scream
A reason to wake up in the morning
To close your eyes and dream
She'll curse you like a sailor
She'll wound you with her eyes
She’ll always make it better
But won't apologize
You know everything about her but don't know her at all

Chorus:
She's a ride on a mystery train
To a place you've never been before
Better hold on tight to that mystery train
You're not in Kansas anymore
She's a ride
Mystery train

She cries because she's happy
She sings songs when she's mad
Like a stiff drink when you need it
She's good at being bad
And long before you knew her you knew she was the one

Chorus:
She's a ride on a mystery train
To a place you've never been before
Better hold on tight to that mystery train
You're not in Kansas anymore
She's a ride
Mystery train

Solo

I know everything about her but don't know her at all

Chorus:
She's a ride on a mystery train
To a place I've never been before
I waited all night out for that mystery train
I'm not in Kansas anymore
She's a ride
On a mystery train
She's a ride
On a mystery train


 


 


 


SAVE THE WORLD


 


I never went to college
I don't have a degree
Let's say I went to night school
I learned all I know on the streets
I wasn't born a rich man
I ain't got no pedigree
The sweat on this old collar
That's my Ph. D.

It comes down to this
I wouldn't exist
Without you it ain't worth the crime
I'd fight for one kiss
On a moon night like this
You make me feel I could fly, like

I can save the world
Since the night your love saved me
Maybe I can't save the world
But as long as you believe
Maybe I can save the world

I got to confess
Sometimes I'm a mess
And sometimes I step out of line
Like this old tattoo
I ain't shiny or new
With you by my side nothing matters

I can save the world
Since the night your love saved me
Maybe I can't save the world
But as long as you believe
Maybe I can save the world

They can say it's blind love
But it's a fool who don't believe
That I'd fly all the way to the moon
Just to walk you down your street

I could save the world
Since the night your love saved me
Maybe I can't save the world
But as long as you believe
Our love is even stronger
Than God hoped it could be
Baby, all it takes is
Just a little faith in me
To feel like
I can save the world
I can save the world


 


 


 


Captain Crash And The Beauty Queen From Mars


 


Dressed up for a big date
Like Halloween day but it was Fourth of July now
A car crash with a suitcase  and a painted face
She was one of a kind
She wears a plastic crown like Cinderella
And roller skates in bed

he rides the greyhound from his hometown
When he comes around cause they don't let him drive now
Mixed up as a milkshake
But make no mistake
Crash looking at the stars

You and me
We're invincible together
We can be also tragical, whatever
Dressed up just like Ziggy but he couldn't play guitar
Captain Crash and the beauty queen from Mars

Share a toothpick, trading lipstick
Watching traffic for days at the diner
holding hands, making big plans
Playing superman, he was wearing eyeliner
Another local legend and his longtime lucky charm

You and me
We're invincible together
We can be also tragical, whatever
Dressed up just like Ziggy but he couldn't play guitar
Captain Crash and the beauty queen from Mars

They're drunk on love as you can get
Getting high on lust and cigarettes
Living life with no regrets
at least they're gonna try to fly

You and me
We're invincible together
We can be also tragical, whatever
We're Cid and Nancy
Fred and Ginger
Clyde and Bonnie
Liz and Richard
Kurt and Courtney
Baccal and Bogie
Joltin' Joe and Mrs. Monroe
Here's captain crash and the beauty queen from Mars





 


 


SHE'S A MISTERY


 


She won't let me buy her jewelry
She don't want things that  she can keep
She wears wild flowers in her hair
Then throws them to the sea
She's the beginning and the end of me but

Chorus:
She's a mystery
My most beautiful regret
I will never understand her
She's a mystery

I still don't  know  what to call her
She says that words don't mean a thing
She changes her name every day
And lies all the time
I feel lucky to call her mine

Chorus:
She's a mystery
My most beautiful regret
I will never understand her
She's a mystery
The only promise I can keep
Even in my dreams she ruins me

She's anything in the world
That you cannot explain
But when she throws me a smile
It's like fire in the rain but

Chorus:
She's a mystery
My most beautiful regret
I will never understand her
She's a mystery

She's a mystery
There's no defense
It's innocence
But she won't let you see
'Cause she's a mystery


 


 


I GOT THE GIRL


 


It feels like I'm walkin' on air
Walk down our street
When the neighbors stop to watch us going by
You can hear 'em talking (let them talk)
Sometimes I think that you're the only reason
The sun still shines (when it shines)
And when this wicked world starts bringing me down
I tell myself that I'm one lucky guy

I got the girl (holding all the cards)
I got the girl (she's a work of art)
I got the girl (who's gonna break my heart)

She likes to wear her stripe with her plaids
Won't brush her hair (I swear)
She don't like wearing shoes in December
But I don't care what she wears

I got the girl (holding all the cards)
I got the girl (she's a work of art)
I got the girl (who's gonna break my heart)

If I was a holy man I'd get down on my knees
So the angels that watch over her would give a break to me
Holy Mother of saint bubble gum and Sister band-aid knees
Won't you please pray for the ones like me

But the truth is someday
Somebody is gonna take her from me
But the queen of hearts will always be
A five-year-old princess to me (to me)

I got the girl (holding all the cards)
I got the girl (she's a work of art)
I got the girl (who's gonna break my heart)

I got the girl (she's gonna leave her mark)
I got the girl (she's a work of art)
I got the girl (she's gonna break your heart)
I got the girl, oh yeah
I got the girl, I got the girl
She’s gonna…
I got the girl, yeah
I got the girl, I got the girl
I got the girl


 


 


ONE WILD NIGHT


 


It's a hot night, the natives are restless
We're sweating by the light of the moon
There's a voodoo mojo brewing at the gogo
That would knock a witch off her broom
We slither on in and shed our skin
Make our way into the bump and the grind
I'm passing by, she gives me the eye
So I stop to give her a light

Na-na-na-na-na-na...alright!

One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)
One wild night (24 hours of midnight)
One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone
And she left my heart with vertigo)
One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night

Havin' as much fun as you can in your clothes
Margarita had me feelin' alright
Just might be I found religion
I've been on my knees for half of the night
I'm rolling the bones with Jimmy 'no dice'
Gonna take him for a couple weeks' pay
Man, if you lose this roll I take your girlfriend home
So I stopped
But you're not gonna believe who comes walking out

One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)
One wild night (24 hours of midnight)
One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone
And she left my heart with vertigo)
One wild night (hey, c'est la vie)
One wild night (welcome to the party)
One wild night (life is for the living so You gotta
live it up, come on let's go)
One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night

Na-na-na-na-na-na...

One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)
One wild night (24 hours of midnight)
One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone
And she left my heart with vertigo)
One wild night (hey, c'est la vie)
One wild night (welcome to the party)
One wild night (life is for the living so You gotta
live it up, come on let's go)
One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night

One wild night, one wild night
One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)
One wild night (24 hours of midnight)
One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone
And she left my heart with vertigo)
One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night
