It's My Life
This ain't
a song for the broken-hearted
No silent
prayer for the 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
Chorus:
It's my life
It's now
or never
I ain't
gonna live forever
I just
want to 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
the 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 own breaks
(Chorus)
Better
stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't
bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
(Chorus,
2)

Say It Isn't So
I just
can't believe
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 shake-up
Tell me
it's a nightmare
Please wake
me up
(Say it
isn't so)
I found a
book of matches
From
someplace 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
Chorus:
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
Superman
don't fly
They did
it all with strings
Elvis
Presley died
They deep
fried the king
Like some
tacky cheesy bathing beauty
Dancing on
the beach in a bad b-movie
Chorus 1:
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)
Chorus 2:
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'll make it through)
Make
everything alright (couldn't be, not you)
Say it
isn't so..
(Chorus 1)
(Chorus 2)

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
We'll
leave the world outside
All I've
got to give to you
Are these
five words when I
Chorus 1:
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
(Chorus 1)
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 own life to rescue me
Lock the
doors
We'll
leave the world outside
All I've
got to give to you
Are these
five words when I
(Chorus 1)
Chorus 2:
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
For loving
me

Two Story Town
I couldn't
sleep
Took a
walk down Second Avenue
Sick of
dreaming dreams that never come true
On a 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 this
two story town
Chorus 1:
It's just
the same old sights
And the
same old sounds
I want to
take my car and drive out of this two story town
It's the
same old ship going down
I'm going
down, down ,down, down, down
It's a two
story town
There's a
girl that I sleep with
She's got
ecstasy eyes
He promised
her roses and American pie
I called
her and my demons
And I
kissed them both goodbye
(bye bye)
Seven days
of Monday morning
In this
two story town
(Chorus 1)
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 going to find me in the lost and found
(Chorus 1)
Chorus 2:
It's just
the same old sights and the same old sounds
I want to
take my horse and ride him off this merry-go-round
I won't
give in and I won't back down
I'm never
going down, down, down, down down
I ain't
going down, down, down, down, down
In this
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
Chorus 1:
I'm gonna
hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the
shoulder that you're 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
Am 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 that I wouldn't do
Stand by
me
And I
would gladly give up everything
(Chorus 1)
Chorus 2:
I'm gonna
hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the
shoulder that you're leaning on
I'll be
standing here
For the
next 100 years
If the
world should end tonight
I'll know
it was worth the fight
And we'll
be standing here
For the
next 100 years

Just Older
Hey, man,
it's been a while
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 of memories
I'm still
chasing dreams
But I
ain't looking over my shoulder
Chorus 1:
I like the
bed I'm sleeping in
Just like
me, it's broken in
It's not
old -- just older
Like a
favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin
I'm in it's 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
Standing
here shoulder to shoulder
(Chorus 1)
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 'til they call your bluff
But you
can't win until you're not afraid to lose
Well, I
look in the mirror
I don't
hate what I see
There's a
few more lines staring back at me
The night
has grown a little colder
Hey man, I
gotta run
Now you
take care
If you see
coach T. tell him I cut my hair
I've kept
my faith
I still
believe I'm just
Chorus 2:
I like the
bed I'm sleeping in
Just like
me, it's broken in
It's not
old -- just older
Like a
favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin
I'm in it's alright with me
It' s not
old -- just older
It's not
old -- just

Mystery 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 always
makes it better
But won't
apologize
You know
everything about her but don't know her at all
Chorus 1:
She's a
ride on a mystery train
To a place
you've never been before
Better
hold on tight to that mystery train
Now 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 1)
I know
everything about her but don't know her at all
Chorus 2:
She's a
ride on a mystery train
To a place
I've never been before
I've
waited all my life for that mystery train
Now 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, no
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 grind
I'd fight
for one kiss
On a night
like this
You make
me feel I could fly, like
Chorus 1:
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
Maybe I
could save the world
I got to
confess
Sometimes
I'm a mess
Sometimes
I step out of line
Like this
old tattoo
I ain't
shiny or new
With you
by my side nothing matters
Chorus 2:
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
Chorus 3:
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
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 is
looking like a star
Chorus 1:
You and me
We're
invincible together
We can be
so 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
(Chorus 1)
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
Chorus 2:
You and me
We're
invincible together
We can be
so tragical, whatever
We're Sid
and Nancy
Fred and
Ginger
Clyde and
Bonnie
Liz and
Richard
Kurt and
Courtney
Bacall and
Bogie
Joltin'
Joe and Ms. Monroe
Here's
captain crash and the beauty queen from mars

She's A Mystery
She won't
let me buy her jewelry
She don't
want things that she can keep
She wears
wildflowers in her hair
Then
throws them in the sea
She's the
beginning and the end of me
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
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
anything in the world
That you
cannot explain
But when
she throws me a smile
It's fire
in the rain
(Chorus)
She's a
mystery
There's no
defense
It's
innocence
But she
won't let you see
'Cause
she's a mystery
11.
I Got the Girl
It feels
like I'm walkin' on air
When we
walk down our street
When the
neighbors stop to watch us walk by
You can hear
'em talking (let them talk)
Sometimes
I think that you're the one 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
Chorus 1:
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
And she
won't brush her hair (I swear)
She don't
like wearing shoes in December
But I
don't care what she wears
(Chorus 1)
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 (you see)
But the
queen of hearts will always be
A
five-year-old princess to me (to me)
(Chorus 1)
Chorus 2:
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
12. 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 go-go
That could
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
Chorus 1:
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
It just
might be that I found religion
I've been
on my knees for half of the night
Then 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
Chorus 2:
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 (que 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
(Chorus 2)
One wild
night (4x)
One wild
night blinded by the moonlight
One wild
night 24 hours of midnight
One wild
night stepped into the twilight zone for
One wild,
one wild, one wild, one wild night.
