Standing alone in the dark makes me wish that I had made the choice many years ago Wishing I could be with you tonight. Wishing I could be with you tonight Standing in the garden with you Makes me think that I have finally done what others failed to do In between our dreams and our fears Lie the makings of a super star we were meant to be so Rock! Let's rock; it's all I want; it's all I need so Don't tell me Rock and Roll's no good for me I never suffered anything from rock Outside my window tonight a million Gods and Goddesses fight to rule the sky I never pay any mind; it's a battle I don't care about; rock is on my side so Rock! Let's rock; it's all I want; it's all I need so Don't tell me Rock and Roll's no good for me I never suffered anything from Rock! Let's rock; it's all I want; it's all I need so Don't tell me Rock and Roll's no good for me I never suffered anything from Rock! Let's rock. I never suffered anything Rock! Let's rock I never suffered anything Rock! Let's rock I never suffered anything from Rock

Everyday I wake up and take what's given me I just deal with what's dealt to me as best I can I do as good a job as any man Everyday I wake up and look at the light on my answer machine Afraid of what's in store for me when I see it winking at me I can only listen and do what any man can Gonna go crazy while I'm still sane enough to enjoy it Gonna go crazy while I'm still sane enough to enjoy it Gonna lose it in the streets Gonna fly right off of my feet Gonna tell police what I think Gonna go crazy I try to keep my distance, I try to avoid confrontation So I watch what I say but the losers' out to get me in ways you cannot imagine The intruders with the complexes want to know what I think But I withhold the information like my opinion's all my own But they force a conversation and my solitude is gone Gonna go crazy while I'm still sane enough to enjoy it Gonna go crazy while I'm still sane enough to enjoy it Gonna lose it in the streets Gonna fly right off of my feet Gonna tell police what I think Gonna go crazy Everyday I walk the same old streets hoping someone will recognize me But the only ones that ever pay attention; just another nut case screaming at me Buddy got a dime? Buddy got a quarter? Buddy can you help a homeless Vet? I can only wonder, "what if that was me instead?" Just another victim; just another suicide That's when I finally decide Gonna go crazy while I'm still sane enough to enjoy it Gonna go crazy while I'm still sane enough to enjoy it Gonna lose it in the streets Gonna fly right off of my feet Gonna tell police what I think Gonna go crazy..................

It's a crazy world we live in, you could die at any moment Vanish in an instant, gone without a warning Much as I try not to think about it I just cannot help myself, the truth is all around me That's why I want to spend all my time with you It's a moment there in history when we say unto ourselves Where is the mystery surrounding fame and wealth Why do the wannabes aspire past there needs They just cannot help themselves, the truth is all around them That's why I want to spend all my time with you I am weak but I will be strong I am tired but I will be fearless I am small but I will be big someday I am small but I will be big

Take a look, now you see it, now you don't What you need is right in front of you All you gotta do is choose to see it I can dream but I know that you won't Your mind is too made up Heaven only helps the truly helpless Take a walk on the street First you text then you tweet You can talk, you can eat...all a click away If I ever dream too deeply please wake me Get a life, lose the weight, find a hat Don't forget there's an app just for that Live your life all the time, all on line What it is you hope to find is There is your dreams, on the page, on the screen It was never meant to be More than a fantasy For anyone but fools If I ever dream too deeply please wake me

Sitting there in the parking lot Lookin' so good; lookin' so hot I knew we would never part Came to me in a dream last night You felt so good; you felt so right Never gonna' let you out of my sight My Corvette My corvette Nobody knows how to have a good time You and me, we go for a ride Take me real fast past the finish line My Corvette My Corvette My Corvette My Corvette All of the neighbors are jealous now I see them peak at you when the sun goes down But they turn their heads when we tool around My Corvette They all think you're a muscle car But I know who you really are You're my little superstar My Corvette My Corvette My Corvette My Corvette My Corvette You're my, My Corvette, My Corvette

Ain't it amazing how we were born to die? Here for such a short time; yeah, you get a life.... In between the birthing and the grave If there's a God how could he make this world? It never was a good place; makes you doubt His greatness And if this hell that we live in is what happened to His plan Then He shows His weakness and lost control of Man Bad art sells well, that's the nature of things I don't know why but I know what I like Time and time again I try to solve that age old problem: How come the good have to die poor? Take me to the edge of things and let me fly away with myself Let my thoughts go free If I can't make sense of things let me rearrange my way of life No place is great, if you're into greatness Life is what you make of it; that'll never change If there are times when I get tired I'd want to be with you 'Cause I know when I wake up you will want me too Take me to the edge of things and let me fly away with myself Let my thoughts go free If I can't make sense of things let me rearrange my way of life

When I look back in time, remembering what it was like Afraid to admit what we did to survive, burning our enemies But nothing compares to this The sun wakes up on a blackened sky; the remnants of a sleepless night The pious, the righteous, the children die, all in a memory How could we come to this? We thought those were the darkest of days How could we possibly know what would come? People with nothing but hate in their hearts Turning the world upside down A candle burns a single light yet it seeks to kill the night And for some it serves them right; it's all they need For some it's never enough Rage consumes the hungry beast while it seeks its endless feast There'll be no cure, there'll be no peace once you let them in Whenever you let them in We thought those were the darkest of days How could we possibly know what would come? People with nothing but hate in their hearts Turning the world upside down We thought those were the darkest of days How could we ever forget? People with nothing but fear in their hearts Turning the world upside down Turning the world upside down Turning the world upside down

On a rototilling tundra where the mountains meet the seashore Is a solitary house where no one lives But the scene is always changing like the waves against the shoreline And nobody can really put their finger on exactly what has changed No one really minds as long as everything stays the same No one really minds, no one really minds On a cold December morning as I lay upon my pillow Pictures of the day already dance across my face And I'm hardly out of bed when it soon becomes apparent This'll be a day much like yesterday No one really minds as long as everything stays the same No one really minds, no one really... Way too many times I get myself in situations That I've come to regret and think they're really stupid Just can't seem to make that final connection Plain and simple; cause and effect I know there'll be a price to pay every time I cross that line But it doesn't seem to make a difference in my actions For as long as I've been living I've always been a dreamer Gets me into trouble with the local crowd But it doesn't seem to bother me a long as there's a reason That's the price we pay in exchange for every dream No one really minds as long as everything stays the same No one really minds, no one really minds On a gray desolate corner in any given city You can read the signs of life by what people leave behind And gazing at this landscape of broken glass and trash bags It becomes quite clear there are no rules here No one really minds as long as everything stays the same No one really minds, no one really minds No one really minds, no one really minds No one really minds, no one really minds No one really minds

No one knows you like the way I do Dreams are for the taking whenever you want to And if someone remarks how strange that seems You tell them they don't understand dreams No one loves you like the way I do People say we hide it; if they only knew Sitting there like strangers, never far apart Silent individuals connected at the heart If they only knew what goes on in our minds The commentary flies; all the world's a target If they only know what goes on in our minds Is not a pretty sight; they would run and hide Just the other day a woman told me She told me she would like to trade me for my life I told her she'd regret it and left it at that She just turned away and never looked back If she only knew what goes on in our minds The chaos and the strife; it's enough to break you If she only knew how we put it all aside to make such fun of life Before the Heavens take you If she only knew, ohhhhh If she only knew If she only knew

What if there was no tomorrow; would you love me today? What if I said everything I was thinking; would it scare you away? Sometimes the things we desire the most are hiding just out of sight Sometimes I want to just tear things apart until I get what I want What if we never knew sadness; would our lives be the same? Some think it better to know disappointment in order to deal with the pain I think you gotta be out of your mind to invite such things into your life There's enough heartache without us deciding to turn day into night And in the blink of an eye she decided it time to take her own life What if she had a tomorrow? Maybe I need a drink and time to reflect Life has become a battle of one; it's not over yet Making a game out of everything seems to be everything to everyone Endless selections of choices are served as a banquet of rotating fun What if there was no tomorrow; just a today Would we be happy living forever

Tonight belongs to me when the world's asleep With them goes their loneliness and all their senseless noise There's nowhere to go; there's nowhere to hide But as long as I'm alive tonight belongs to me Tonight belongs to us, just the two of us No one can appreciate the sadness that we feel The pain of it all, all through the day But as long as we're alone tonight belongs to us Just the two of us Who can tell us anything much better than ourselves? We know where to go; we know what we feel And if anything is real, tonight belongs to us As the years go by changes occur rapidly We were left behind, never wanting sympathy You can have your future and your days; I can only minimize the pain For tonight belongs to us, just the two of us No one can appreciate the sadness that we feel The pain of it all, all through the day But as long as we're alone tonight belongs to us Tonight belongs to us We know how it was Long before the masses had the life ripped from their souls It's clear they have no minds of their own No one cares and so Tonight belongs to us Tonight belongs to us Tonight belongs to us Tonight belongs to us

Managed to go insane; thinking is just a game All the little players inside your head wanna be the ones to win instead of You, you, it's all about you Watcha gonna do now, watcha gonna do? Every time I think about the time we spent at the top of the hill in West Virginia Something over there reminded me why i left so many places Do you want to stay? Do you want to leave? Do you want to just keep on moving till we Find a little place' settles down' it's not that easy And in the end you'll find your peace where you began And in less time than it takes to make the choices you make Every little thing is coming down on you whether or not you want it to Didn't you know? Didn't you care? Were you only fooling? And in the end you'll find your peace where you began Somewhere along the way people forgot to say What it is exactly that is on their mind Is it any wonder it's so hard for them to Find out what they really want They try to tell you but they're only fooling And in the end you'll find your peace in the same place where you began

I can always feel a little flutter in my heart when you walk by I can always feel a little flutter in my heart when you walk by I can always feel a little flutter in my heart when you walk by Aimee, you look so fine Oh Aimee why you gotta look so goddamn fine all the time? Aimee, I wish you were mine Cause I just want to hold you all the time I'd never get tired I promise keepin' myself on it I'd spend my days thinkin' of ways of lovin' you Aimee, you look divine Whether you're in leather or a little pink sweater or a tie Anything you dream up just suits me fine I just want to hold on extra tight From whore to little girl, vaudeville to blond curls There's always something keeps me running after you Aimee, you're in my dreams Every time I stop to think about what I was thinkin about it's YOU, it seems Aimee, you caught my eye I can always feel a little flutter in my heart when you walk by I can always feel a little flutter in my heart when you walk by Yeah, I can always feel a little thunder in my heart when you walk by I can always feel a little flutter in my heart

The day is done I'm on my way The sky has turned a silent gray I can't remember all that I did Your gentle touch is what I need And it will ease my mental pain Nothing will ever be the same again And you make me feel everything is OK And I survive one more day When phantom thoughts are taking shape, I start to see the Devil's face But there's one place I can escape to; there in your arms; deep in your heart And it will ease my mental pain Nothing will ever be the same again And you make me feel everything is OK And I survive one more day When evil doers invade our space we take ourselves to another place We kinda try to rise above, it never fails, we're better off And it will ease my mental pain Nothing will ever be the same again And you make me feel everything is OK And I survive one more day

Where's the guiding light? Where's the new wave? Parties out of sight well into the night burning up your days What's a punxter to do? They got no heroes to look up to You got your evil witches, you got your strange brews You got your gay men, got your lesbians Whatcha gonna do? Your standing on the street, not a thing to eat' thinking that you're cool What's a punxter to do? They got no heroes to look up to And you got a problem you got a problem you got a problem you got a problem! You never did fit in when you were in school No matter what you did all the other kids thought you were a fool You're tellin' everyone that you're so strange You used to be a geek Now you're such a freak God you're so lame You need an excuse for the abuses you put up with You got a problem You got a problem You got a problem You got a problem!!!

Everybody likes James Dean One familiar face on the movie screen Something about the way he moves Made you want to be James Dean Live on the stage at the Paramount Otis Redding sings, Marilyn believes Everyone's got their eyes on her Making her a movie Queen Anchors away my friends On the Good Ship Lollipop it's a nice trip It's a strange and wonderful, strange and wonderful trip! Papers pile up in your cubicle Your stuck in traffic on the avenue Take a wrong turn on the information highway Wishing you could be James Dean Everybody likes James Dean One familiar face on the movie screen Something about the way he moves Made you want to be James Dean Made you want to be James Dean Made you want to be......

Everyday I wonder how we're gonna' survive I feel like a person barely alive Doin' everything just to make you see But you never ever, ever look at me Look!

As the cost of living goes up, the price of life goes down You see it on the TV, read it in the papers The rich are getting richer and the poor become your neighbors I see them everywhere, the children of the next century Thank God for the jobs that keep them safely off the streets Hide behind the dresser now until your mother's gone Let her think you went to school That's how life goes on....that's how life goes on! Sitting at the bar, it's 11 in the morning I'm beer after beer and I'm checking out without dying Don't you think I realize they got problems? Hide behind the dresser now until your mother's gone Let her think you went to school That's how life goes on....that's how life goes on! I'm sitting at the bar, it's 11 in the morning I'm beer after beer and I'm checking out without dying Don't you think I realize they got problems? I see them everywhere, the children of the next century Thank God for the jobs that keep them safely off the streets Hide behind the dresser now until your mother's gone Let her think you went to school That's how life goes on....that's how life goes on!

There's certain people that I don't like and that's the reason I'm in disgrace You pack the bags and you slip away, and you pack the bags and the Lord agrees. In a crowded park and desolate too I'm still trying to tear myself from this place You pack the bags and you slip away and you pack the bags and the Lord agrees. I'm Jack the Ripper I'm Jack the Ripper I'm Jack the Ripper I'm Jack the Ripper I'm Jack the Ripper I'm Jack the Ripper I'm Jack the Ripper I'm Jack the Ripper There's certain people that I don't like and that's the reason I'm in this disgrace You pack the bags and you slip away, and you pack the bags and the Lord agrees.

I'd rather have an Underground girl than an Uptown girl; jet black hair and skin like pearl Keep your blonde hair, keep your ribbons and curls I'd much rather have an underground girl Every night I fantasize about a girl or two Some are tall, some are small, there's nothing they won't do In my dreams it always seems I'm with the girl nextdoor When I wake I wanna face a girl with so much more I'd rather have an Underground girl than an Uptown girl; jet black hair and skin like pearl Keep your blonde hair, keep your ribbons and curls I'd much rather have an Underground girl. I'd rather have a homegrown girl than store-bought girl Cheap pair of jeans and a cheap set of pearls No more glare from a neon world (I'd) much rather have an Underground girl We would rather sing in an underground scene Everything feels so real to me No place that I'd rather be Than doin' my thing in an underground scene La la la la la La la la la la La la la la la La la la la la I'd rather the Underground girls Thick black eyes and nine inch nails Lips like wine and skin so pale Your better off with the Underground girls Your better off with the Underground girls Your better off with the Underground girls Underground girls, Underground Underground girls than the Uptown girls; jet black hair and skin like pearls Keep your blonde hair, keep your ribbons and curls I'd much rather have the Underground girls!

I'd rather be Sid, no matter what you think It's everywhere today People on the streets, people in the crowd People that you see, everybody stinks. I'd rather be Sid You see a certain image, you see a certain face You think it looks right so it makes you feel safe Over and over you make the same mistakes You just can't tell the image is a fake We are dreamers, we are lost In a fantasy life with thoughts all our own We are schemers planning the best that we can with what we have When the world's asleep we lay our dreams out like an open book Acting out the pleasures we designed When the morning comes we retreat behind a wall of silence I'd rather be Sid I'd rather be Sid I'd rather be Sid I'd rather be Sid

It was not so clear at first; I really thought I knew you But you faked it oh so nicely even if I knew the truth I wouldn't say it out loud. I don't want to join the party Now that I know, now that I know about Now that I know, now that I know about you Now that I know about you Now that I know about, now that I know about you I don't have to play this game anymore I can let you think just what you want I can really be just who I am Now that I know, now that I know about Now that I know, now that I know about you Now that I know about you Now that I know about, now that I know about you I did my best to let you know It will be such fun to let you go Now that I know, now that I know about Now that I know, now that I know about you Now that I know about you Now that I know about, now that I know about you It was just the easiest thing to do Fall into the trap like everyone else Till I told myself I wasn't gonna take it anymore Life got much easier Now that I know, now that I know about Now that I know, now that I know about you Now that I know about you Now that I know about, now that I know about you

Insane! Absurd! It's all so amazingly clear; the next stop from here is the karaoke zone. No doubt about it, they're going insane This situation can only go one way It's not really funny, it's really quite sad Rock and Roll granny's gonna rock you till the break of day Yeah, Rock and Roll granny's gonna rock you till the break of day Yeah, Rock and Roll granny's gonna rock you till the break of day Finally made it, a star at eighty Just in time to say goodbye We'll be lookin' for an agent, lookin' really ancient Oh! Back when I was ten tears younger! Wouldn't that be nice! Rock and Roll granny's gonna rock you till the break of day Yeah, Rock and Roll granny's gonna rock you till the break of day Yeah, Rock and Roll granny's gonna rock you till the break of day It's all too crazy, they've all gone mad We've all gone with them to a land of insanity Tried to be nice at least once or twice But being nice doesn't get you very far these days Determined to win I'll never give in Rock and Roll granny's gonna rock you till the break of day Yeah, Rock and Roll granny's gonna rock you till the break of day Yeah, Rock and Roll granny's gonna rock you till the break of day

Come to the end; looking for a friend Shoulda', coulda', woulda' done the right thing But you let it all go by Now you'll have to say goodbye to the things you had in mind in the end Dancing in your head, the dreams of a child and the memories of a lifetime What if you had only done half of what you had in mind You wouldn't be hear now in the end Lookin' for the law and the order in a world of Rock and Roll Once in a while, think of going wild, but I never really let go Keep it in your head till the dream is dead; I don't have to face another show Lookin' for the law and the order in a world of Rock and Roll Where we temper fate with craziness and we try not to lose control Lookin' for the law and the order in a world of Rock and Roll

In the other states is where we'd hoped to find other states of mind But we were gravely disappointed each and every step Constant reminders Things are all the same everywhere you go In these United States How we compromise ourselves How we lose all our control How we close the eyes we never had open How we shut the mouths that we'd hoped to feed How we lose the minds that we'll never need Never in a million years Blessed are the days of ignorance; a luxury the young can well afford But their elders seem to be buying it still On credit that they steal from their children's lives Lonely are the days of recognition That must be what kept us far away The longer we have to live in night The more we dread the day

People like us don't like people like this People like us won't miss people like this People like us have a hard time getting along and People like us have a problem with regular thought I'm so bored with everyone I meet People like us take the time to look around and we don't like what we see Everyone's the same to me How they really think they're something else People like us never get the chance to tell them where it's really at Try to talk about the truth All you get are more excuses I can finally take the time to say I'm gonna miss myself when I'm gone Just myself and not much else I'm gonna miss myself when I'm gone Gotta agree there ain't no one like me Gonna miss myself when I'm gone No one else could ever make me feel the way I do I'm gonna miss myself I'm gonna miss myself People like us don't like people like this People like us won't miss people like this People like us never know from day to day what life really costs We can only do the best with what we have People like us have the time to make you think that People like us never count the minutes I just figure time is on my side People like us would walk in the rain; talk about the usual things Everyone just has to stare But you know they'd never understand I'm gonna miss myself when I'm gone Just myself and not much else I'm gonna miss myself when I'm gone Gotta agree there ain't no one like me I can finally take the time to say I'm gonna miss myself I'm gonna miss myself I'm gonna miss myself when I'm gone I'm gonna miss myself
