Party Down:

I know the night is silent I’ll be insane
Got to find a new place where I can hide from the rain
I’ll wait for the weekend to get wasted and then
Gonna get on up so I can fall down again

Party down...party down....party down

This world is crazy, everybody party down

You bring the bottle baby I’ll bring the glass
I’ll be the animal,you can be the class
I know that memory that can shed us some light
This kind of magic keeps me flyin’ all night

Party down....party down....party down

This world is crazy, let’s all party down

I'm just tryin’ to feel better
I just wanna feel better
Don’t waste your life away
Eeverybody party down

Gonna shimmer my shoes on down to the red dog saloon
Just waitin’ for the sunset to give way to the moon
Been sleepin’ all day so I can party all night
Hallucinating at the northern lights

Party down....party down....party down

Ruby Tuesday:
(Mick Jagger, Keith Richards)
	 
She would never say where she came from
And yesterday don’t matter if it’s gone
When the sun is bright
Or on the darkest night
No one knows.......she comes and goes

Goodbye ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you
When you change with every new day
Still I’m gonna miss you

No question why she needs to be so free
She’ll tell you it’s the only way to be
She just can’t be chained
To a life where nothing’s gained
And nothing’s lost.......at such a cost

There’s no time to lose I heard her say
Cast your dreams before they slip away
Tired all the time
Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind
Ain’t life unkind

Goodbye ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you
When you change with every new day
Still I’m gonna miss you

There’s no time to lose I heard her say
Cast your dreams before they slip away
Tired all the time
Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind
Ain’t life unkind

Last Exit Brooklyn:
	 
When the sun crashes into your world
Look around and you try and find your girl
And you’re daring, too sick of what you see
Out of town is the only place to be

When your life starts to run out of juice
Feel like dyin’ and you just want to get loose
Prayin’ moves don’t make much sense to you
Seeing red before your feeling is blue

Last exit Brooklyn....last exit Brooklyn

Going back, getting out of this town
Stretch it lean and mean, it turns you around
Take your dreams and stretch them out on the street
Take your turn to get back on your feet

Feel the wheels singin’ over the ridge
Feel the song like "Oakland" take you
All the time you knew you had the itch
All the girls were glad to see you

Last exit Brooklyn....last exit Brooklyn

Girl in ol’ “V” won’t pray
Don’t give you a hard time
All the girls from Brooklyn say
Last exit Brooklyn....last exit Brooklyn

Do you remember the day you left the block
Your mama said you would live to regret it
Coming home, coming stoned, come in hope, coming ready
Are you holding steady

Last exit Brooklyn....last exit Brooklyn....last exit Brooklyn

Moondance:

Light with the mornings goes
I live a long, forgotten shadow
Love with the morning goes
And what to do I just don’t know
The moon is on the run
Another day to up and lay low
Maddogs and noonday sun
I need the darkness to show

Moondance.....Moondance

There goes a setting sun
That’s when we turn from strobe to struttin’
Turn on the city lights
‘Cause you know I’m moody blue

Moondance....moondance

The women shadow box
They’re dancing tough but the ice is melting
The music gives what it’s got
The moon is looking at you

Moondance.....moondance......moondance

Love Of Freedom:

It seems to me I’ve heard that song before
Far off in some distant land
Or it may have been upon some foreign shore
Burning in my heart again

I’ve seen the sounds and I have felt the air
Drumming in my dreams again
Deja vu I don’t know now or then
Enemy or maybe friend

Oh but for the love of freedom
Oh but for the love of you
I would never, ever have seen this day
So please forgive me if I weep no more
For friends and lovers far away

There’s been too many times to hear the names
Of friends who have stayed away
Maybe now and then you still recall the pain
As though it was yesterday

Oh but for the love of freedom
Oh but for the love of you
I would never, ever have seen this day
So please forgive me if I weep no more
For friends and lovers far away
For friends and lovers far away

This Month's Messiah:
	 
I’m just a pilgrim here looking for holy ground
I’m just a body lost but my soul can be found
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon

I don’t know where to turn when answers all fade clear
But I must find a place there’s only questions here
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon

I feel...feel like I’m on trial
Who made a judge of you
Are you this month’s messiah

I am a fightin’ man tired of living under the gun
But am I looking for love or am I looking to run

How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon

I heard...I heard it on the wire
That it’s all up to you
Are you this month’s messiah

How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon

You Don't Believe In Us:
	 
I never asked you for money
I only needed some time
You took more than you gave and you sat on the line

I never asked you for nothing
I only looked for a chance
I only needed some help I never asked for this dance

Now you’re holding the aces
The world is under your feet
There’ll come a day when you smile and you won’t look so sweet

You never gave me no favors
I never owed you a thing
You’ll never know why you dream what tomorrow will bring

You don’t believe in us...you don’t believe in us
You only wanted our mind
You don’t believe in us...you don’t believe in us
You’re only payin’ our time

You never gave me no answers
You never showed me no clues
The day will come when I’ll watch you take a walk in my shoes

You never saw when I caught it
You never opened your eyes
You’ll never see where you stand when your head’s in the skies

Sweetheart Tree:
	 
Goodbye romance can’t take a chance
On love’s painful games
I’ve called too many times on a sweetheart tree

Lady lost now I count the cost
Nothing seems to change
I’ve called too many times on the sweetheart tree

Too many times
Ooh love you made a fool out of me
You won again
So lovin’ set me free

I need some time to change my mind
Before I try again
I’ve been too many times to the sweetheart tree

Some go some then lay in tow
But love just don’t come free
I’ve called too many names on the sweetheart tree

Too many times
Ooh love you made a fool out of me
You won again
So lovin’ set me free

(lead)

Too many times
Ooh love you made a fool out of me
You won again
So lovin’ set me free

Goodbye romance can’t take a chance
On love’s painful games
I’ve called too many names on the sweetheart tree

Road To Nowhere:
	 
I tried to hang on for as long as I could
But now I can see that it just ain’t no good
Our love it has wasted
Right down to the core
Whatever we had
We don’t have anymore

You’ve got to get off a road to nowhere
You’ve got to get off a road to nowhere

Well I tried and I tried to make things work out right
But I guess we’re two people who can’t help but fight
Your eyes they are open
And oh so are mine
We both need our freedom
Don’t you think it’s about time

I’m trying to get off this road to nowhere
I’m trying to get off this road to nowhere

Thank you for the good times we’ve had in the past
But we both know enough to know good times don’t last
Baby you’re just no good for me
And I’m no good for you
Let’s not waste our time talkin’
We both know what to do

We’ve got to get off this road to nowhere
It’s time to get off this road to nowhere
You’ve got to get off this road to nowhere
We’ve got to get off this road to nowhere
