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

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 all right (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

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 all right (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'll make it through)
Make everything all right (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so...

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 all right (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'll make it through)
Make everything all right (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 
We'll 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 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 

Thank you for loving me 
For being my eyes 
When I couldn't see 
You parted 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 

Two Story Town

I couldn't sleep 
Took a walk down Second 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 don't want to take the fall 

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

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 

Seven days of Monday morning 
In a two story town 

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 
It's the same old ship going down 
I'm going down, down, down, down, down 
It's 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 going to find me in the lost and found 

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 
It's the same old ship going down 
I'm going down, down, down, down, down 
It's a two story town 

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 going down, down, down, down down 
I ain't going down, down, down, down, down 
I'm never going down, down, down, down, down 
It's a 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 the 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 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'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 that 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 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'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

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 
Can you believe I'm still chasing that dream 
But I ain't looking over my shoulder 

I like the bed I'm sleeping in 
It's 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 
When we were young and brave 
We got secrets that we'll take to the grave 
And we're standing here shoulder to shoulder 

I like the bed I'm sleeping in 
It's 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 

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 nights have grown a little colder 
Hey man, I gotta run 
Now you take care 
If you see coach T. Tell him I cut my hair 
It's been all these years 
Can you believe I'm still chasing dreams 
But I ain't looking over my shoulder 

I like the bed I'm sleeping in 
It's 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

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 she won't apologize 
I know everything about her but don't know her at all 

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 

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 

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

She's a ride on a mystery train 
To a place I've never been before 
Better hold on tight to 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 grind 
I'd fight for one kiss 
On a night like this 
You make me feel I could fly, like 

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 
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 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 
They're shooting for the stars 

You and me 
We're invincible together 
We can be oh 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 

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 oh 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 
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 

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 

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 fire in the rain 

She's a mystery 
My most beautiful regret 
'Cause she's a mystery 
The only promise I can keep 
Even in my dreams she ruins me 

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 
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 only reason 
The sun still shines (when it shines) 
And when this wicked world starts bringing me down 
I know that I'm one lucky guy 

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

She says that someday she's gonna marry me 
When that day comes that we walk down the aisle 
She'll make me feel like a prince, a lord or a king 
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 (I don't care) 

I got the girl (with 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 (you see) 
But the queen of hearts will always be 
A five-year-old princess to me (to me) 

I got the girl (with 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

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 
So I'm passing by, she gives me the eye 
So I stop to give her a light 

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 

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 (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 if for the living so 
You gotta live it up, come on let's go) 
One wild, one wild, one wild, one.. 

One wild night (blinded by the moonlight) 
One wild night (24 hours of midnight) 
One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone) 
For one wild night 
One wild night (hey,c'est la vie) 
One wild night (welcome to the party) 
One wild night (life is for the living) 
All we've got is one wild night 

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.
