we’re gonna go go go we’re gonna start from go we’re gonna go go go we’re gonna start from go we’re gonna go go go we’re gonna start from go we’re gonna go go go we’re gonna start from go You and me we started out so happily We had our fun and then begun so perfectly But like all good things come to those who wait We patiently anticipated fate If you want a happy ending You will find out when the curtain falls we’re gonna go go go we’re gonna start from go All things are now in the past We can build a future that will last But like all good things come to those who wait We patiently anticipated fate If you want a happy ending You will find out when the curtain falls we’re gonna go go go we’re gonna start from go Turn off the light that blinds our weary eyes Save the black balloons from flying high Be the one whose wisdom brings a tear Of joy to lives lived in fear We can start from the beginning Make a brand new inning I will give my heart again We can start from scratch and then we’re gonna go go go we’re gonna start from go

I’m gonna make you happy for the rest of your life I’m gonna make you happy at least for tonight I’m gonna make you happy in a crowded room I’m gonna make you happy all alone Well you best believe it I will be on top I got something baby that the others just ain’t got It will be a mystery to everyone but us We can show each other the diamonds in our heart I’m gonna make you happy I’m gonna make you happy at least for tonight I’m gonna make you happy in a crowded room I’m gonna make you happy all alone Aah show me what you got Oh no please don’t stop Honey we are in the groove lets perfect that move I am going north and you can go down south Meet you on the other side on top of the world I can’t fight it and neither can you Even if it’s just a fantasy You are gonna be my man You are gonna be my man

Why Me 03:20
You can feel it when the knife hits the bone You can smell a bush fire a long way from home Driving so fast y ou’re bound to crash and you scream Why me I can’t believe it Why me I just didn’t dream it Why me I can’t believe it all the signs around me that I just didn’t see Silence creeps into your home Wordless debates when you’re all alone Like faceless traitors are much worse In the dark in the dark in the darkness you can’t hide but the truth is benind all those lies weight of the world cast aside and you are released from the guilt inside Why me Read the paper watch on TV it’s always in the news so you’ll know one day it can happen to you

Celebrate 03:09
I just want to celebrate your body next to mine I just want to celebrate your body next to mine Watch him walking down the street bare feet slapping like a heartbeat a mirage passing by my frown at the ground looks up to a smile in his eyes I just want to celebrate your body next to mine I just want to celebrate your body next to mine Lets go back to my place and taste each others cosmic rays you can quickly get to know the pounding sound of my heart in your ears see him walking down blind old high st town deaf to fluttering wings of an angel flying by in my dreams I just want to celebrate your body next to mine I just want to celebrate your body next to mine

Be True 04:35
your eyes are the window to your soul they betray the secrets that you hold the lies that you have told like a winters rain will make you cold be careful of the web that you spin caus you might end up sitting in the maze of half truth you create chasing your tail reaping fate be true to yourself and give your help to everyone else be true to yourself and give your help to everyone else be true to yourself twisted visions of real time make it hard to see the light mutant truth is just a lie you keep telling yourself to survive be careful of the web that you spin caus you might end up sitting in the maze of half truth you create chasing your tail reaping fate be true to yourself and give your help to everyone else be true to yourself and give your help to everyone else be true to yourself be true to yourself and you can’t go wrong do a little dance sing a little song give your help to everyone else it just might save your life

dirty little secrets have I you’ve got secrets too I can see it in your eyes dirty little secrets have I you’ve got secrets too I can see it in your eyes oh we can hook up on the sly you and me give the neighbours reason to pry we can make some secrets you and I use your imagination don’t be shy dirty little secrets have I you’ve got secrets too I can see it in your eyes dirty little secrets have I you’ve got secrets too I can see it in your eyes I’ll whisper something you just can’t tell I’d be so embarrassed in a living hell but everyone’s doing nasty things too the same filthy things that we do dirty little secrets have I you’ve got secrets too I can see it in your eyes dirty little secrets have I you’ve got secrets too I can see it in your eyes have you heard what they’re doing down the street I just don’t believe it they seem so nice to me but everyone’s talking so it must be true and I confirmed it with a sneak preview

Higher Road 03:24
you can exclude me from your exclusive club you can slap me with your leather glove but excuse me for choosing love I just cannot bring myself to hate you no I just cannot bring myself to hate you you can use power to help an ailing man or convince yourself you are above from where you stand but true friendship blossoms from the laughter that we share use courage and conviction not bullets and addiction change poverty and affliction to give your life direction protect ideals that you hold to keep yourself on the higher road

Shadow World 04:28
I got the news this morning that you were’nt coming back you left your lady crying and a baby that will never know why you’re gone why you’re gone well way back when I met you you were quite naive we had nothing in common or so it seemed you’re gone and now you’re gone well you ain’t ever coming back to the lucky land you got your slice of heaven something we don’t understand well the story just aint over till we meet again and then you can tell me what I don’t understand and now you’re gone and now you’re gone you left us standing in the shadow world you left us standing in the shadow of your world

I guess I’ve always been without a home holding a sign to where I want to roam I put my life together with sticky tape and rubber bands and a beer can as a muffler on my noisy van Caus time it costs you nothing and nothing is all its worth if you don’t use it wisely it’s your most precious gift lying by the pool of a cheap motel near to Sacramento far too close to the road trying to get some peace as quickly as I can before I close the door and I’m on the road again Driving back to ‘Frisco dropping off the car arms around my buddy in some seedy bar tomorrow I am on a plane I am New York city bound I guess I’ll get some rest in the clouds before I hit the ground Caus time it costs you nothing and nothing is all its worth if you don’t use it wisely it’s your most precious gift Long Beach, L.A, Portland and Eugene and all them other little gin joints and places I have seen Nevada City, Newcastle, Lincoln and Yachats back roads and byways and all them other highways

Let's Go Out 04:19
sometimes it takes death to appreciate your life sometimes the best times are in the trouble and strife one thing I can tell you two things for sure death and taxes will get you when you come into this world Heaven aint overflowing like the county gaol they’re all going south to the firey raging sea Let’s go out and sit under the stars Let’s go out and smoke at seedy bars Let’s go out and have a good time Smile at everybody and let the good times howl
