We start at zero / come out the other side / we'll keep whats bona fide / and let the rest go / for such a small one / it's quite the heavy load / that weight is yours to hold / we'll all be there though / You say the days of wine and roses come and gone / how long (how long) we pine for their return

You Say the Days of Wine and Roses Come and Gone

Riding around with my socks rolled down on my barracuda / I'm a slimy loser / but I got friends here with me / Caught up a tree but my friend Slim and me he a paratrooper / he throw a loop-the-loop / it floats up so gracefully / we'll shoot you down / Out on a limb here with my friend Jim he throw a paper gilder / always around never let you down / yeah he'll be here for me / I won't be one without my pellet gun I'm a lazy rider / they call me boy genius

Boy Genius

And when the light peeks in I'll find a certain hue / colors fall into my still life in the key of orange and blue / when I get to Amsterdam I'll paint a song or two / When I get to Amsterdam I'll paint my point of view

When I get to Amsterdam

They told you I should leave / but by then we were thick as thieves / we will always be the stars of our show / They told us we should stay / but by then we were miles away / we will always know the time to hit the road

By Then We Were Thick As Thieves

Like a chemist mixing up explosives / I go Lightly / I need a new reaction / chase all my blues away / I feel like I'm in traction / shut down anyway 

As I set my feet on terra firma / I go lightly / I need a new distraction / lift me from solid ground / show me a new attraction / with a better sound

As I Set My Feet on Terra Firma

Never mind how you thought things should have been / The world still turning around and around / that's not on the list of things that you let down / you hear the bells still ringing / sun come up the birds they'll still be singing loud / some are only there to put in the rearview mirror / when you're Milwaukee bound

When You're Milwaukee Bound

Hate is like a typhoon / Typhoon / Is all a typhoon wants to be / Hate is like a typhoon / Inside of me


Inspired by 'Blue Eye Samurai'

Hate is Like a Typhoon

Tonight the Things we Stole Are for Rock and Roll

All the god damn Light in the World Don't Add Up to You

Yeah, I Know You Got Plans

It's Cool to Not Care About Things

All that I can do is live my life the best that I can
Like an ordinary man
I get up with the sun, it shines down on me
I stay up with the moon, while I can
I got blessed with the life of an ordinary man

Cheap Trick Tribute - Come On, Come On

He left his crew down in old La Paz / He'll trade in all he has to get a new one / He rode his motorbike to Argentine / to see if he could find himself and then some / He never cared much for the status quo / his only way to go is revolution

He's gonna change some things tomorrow / He kinda thinks he's Che Guevara / Do you have allota guns I can borrow / He's leaving town

He Kinda Thinks He's Che Guevara

Yeah, you're counting me out / Don't count me out / Come on baby twist and shout / Yeah, you're boxing me in / Don't box me in / The distance is paper thin / Someday I'll be a matador / I'll twirl my cape / I'll stomp on the floor / The crowd will cry and beg for more / to see it all again

Someday I'll be a Matador

Just like a moth / Whose debut is made in moonlight / It hides away / In darkness it comes and it goes / But in time / Its nature will become more clear / For now it waits beneath the rose

On that warm June day in '44 / She hung the cherry blossoms on the door / I fly so high and low / Nowhere to go when the rain come down / And I sit right next to me

The Absurdly Lucky Flight of Y

All of it is right there, in one verse and a chorus.
