1. _ Lost Boys And Golden Girls
objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
The skies were pure and the fields were green
And the sun was brighter than it's ever been
When i grew up with my best friend kenny
We were close as any brothers than you ever knew
It was always summer and the future called
We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all
And there was so much left to dream and so much time to make it real
But i can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was gone
They said he crashed and burned
I know i'll never learn why any boy should die so young
We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune
We got in trouble but we sure got around
There are times i think i see him peeling out of the dark
I think he's right behind me now and he's gaining ground
But it was long ago and it was far away, oh god it seems so very far
And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And when the sun descended and the night arose
I heard my father cursing everyone he knows
He was dangerous and drunk and defeated
And corroded by failure and envy and hate
There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze
Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees
And my father's eyes were blank as he hit me again and again and again
I know i still believe he'd never let me leave, i had to run away alone
So many threats and fears, so many wasted years before my life became
My own
And though the nightmares should be over
Some of the terrors are still intact
I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice
And then he grabs me from behind and then he pulls me back
There was a beauty living on the edge of town
And she always put the top up and the hammer down
And she taught me everything i'll ever know
About the mystery and the muscle of love
The stars would glimmer and the moon would glow
I'm in the back seat with my julie like a romeo
And the signs along the highway all said, caution! kids at play!
Those were the rights of spring and we did everything
There was salvation every night
We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn
But everything we tried was right
She used her body just like a bandage
She used my body just like a wound
I'll probably never know where she disappeared
But i can see her rising up out of the back seat now
Just like an angel rising up from a tomb
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
She used her body just like a bandage
She used my body just like a wound
I'll probably never know where she disappeared
But i can see her rising up out of the back seat now

2. _ It Just Won't Quit
And i never really sleep anymore
And i always get those dangerous dreams
And i never get a minute of peace
And i gotta wonder what it means
And i gotta wonder what it means
Maybe it's nothing and i'm under the weather
Maybe it's just one of those bugs going round
Maybe i'm under a spell and it's magic
Maybe there's a witch doctor with an office in town
Is this a blessing? or is it a curse?
Does it get any better? can it get any worse?
Will it go on forever? is it over tonight?
Does it come with the darkness? does it bring out the light?
Is it richer than diamonds?
Or just a little cheaper than spit?
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
And there used to be such an easy way of living
And there used to be every hope in the world
And i used to get everything that i went after
But there never used to be this girl
No there never used to be this girl
Maybe i'm crazy and i'm losing my senses
Maybe i'm possessed by a spirit or such
Maybe i'm desperate and i got no defenses can you het me a perscription for that one perfect touch?
Is this a blessing? or is it a curse?
Does it get any better? can it get any worse?
Will it go on forever? is it over tonight?
Does it come with the darkness? does it bring out the light?
Is it richer than diamonds?
Or just a little cheaper than spit?
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit.....
There was a time when nothing ever really mattered
There was a time when there was nothing i didn't know
There was a time when i knew just what i was living for
There was a time and the time was so long ago
There was a time and the time was so long ago
And i never really sleep anymore........

3. _ Wasted Youth
|
4. _ Out Of The Frying Pan(and Into Fire)
I know that i will never be politically correct
And i don't give a damn about my lack of ettiquette
As far as i'm concerned the world could still be flat
And if the thrill is gone then it's time to take it back
If the thrill is gone then it's time to take it back
Who am i?
Why am i here?
Forget the questions someone get me another beer
What's the meaning of life?
What's the meaning of it all?
You gotta learn to dance
Before you learn to crawl
You gotta learn to dance
Before you learn to crawl
So sign up, all you raw recurits
Throw away those designer suits
You got your wepons cocked, your targets in your sights
Ther's a party raging, somewhere in the world
You gotta serve your country, gotta service your girl
You're all enlisted in the army of the night
And i ain't in it for the power
And i ain't in it for my health
I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all
And i sure ain't in it for the wealth
But i'm in it til' it's over
And i just can't stop
If you want to get it done, you have to do it yourself
And i like my music like i like my life
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
They got a file on me that's a mile long
And they say that they've got all of the proof
That i'm just another case of arrested development
I'm just another wasted youth
They say that i'm in need of some radical discipline
They say i gotta face the truth
That i'm just another case of arrested development
I'm just another wasted youth
They say i'm wild and i'm recklous
I should be acting my age
I'm an impressionable child
In a tulmoultous world
And they say i'm at a difficult stage
But it seems to me to the contrary
Of all the crap they're gonna put on the page
That a wasted youth is better by far
Then a wise and productive old age
A wasted youth is better by far
Then a wise and productive old age
A wasted youth is better by far
Then a wise and productive old age
A wasted youth is better by far
Then a wise and productive old age
A wasted youth is better by far
Then a wise and productive old age
A wasted youth is better by far
Then a wise and productive old age
If you want my views of history
Then there's something you should know
The three men i admire most
Are curly, larry, moe
Don't worry about the future
Sooner or later it's the past if they say the thrill is gone then it's time to take it back
If the thrill is gone then it's time to take it back
So sign up, all you raw recurits
Throw away those two bit suits
You got your wepons cocked, your targets in your sights
Ther's a party raging, somewhere in the world
You gotta serve your country, gotta service your girl
You're all enducted in the army of the night
And i ain't in it for the power
And i ain't in it for my health
I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all
And i sure ain't in it for the wealth
But i'm in it til' it's over
And i just can't stop
If you want to get it done, you got to fight for yourself
And i like my music like i like my life
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else
Everything louder than everything else

5. _ Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back
out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
It's only two o'clock and the temperture's beginning to soar
And all around the city you see the walking wounded and the living dead
It's never been this hot and i've never been so bored
And breathing is just no fun anymore
And then i saw you like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that i ever said
I saw you like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that i ever said
You can feel the pulse of the pavement racing like a runaway horse
The subways are steaming and the skin of the street is gleaming with sweat
I've seen you sitting on the steps outside
And you were looking so restless and reckless and lost
I think it's time for you to come inside
I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget
I think it's time for you to come inside
I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget
Come on! come on!
And there'll be no turning back
You were only killing time and it'll kill you right back
Come on! come on!
It's time to burn up the fuse
You've got nothing to do and even less to lose
You've got nothing to do and even less to lose
So wander down the ancient hallway
Taking the stairs only one at a time
Follow the sound of my heartbeat now
I'm in the room at the top, you're at the end of the line
Open the door and lay down on the bed
The sun is just a ball of desire
And i wanna take you out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
And i wanna take you out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
And into the fire! fire! fire!
And into the fire! fire! fire!
And into the fire! fire! fire!
And into the fire!
It's only two o'clock and the tempertures beginning to soar
And all around the city you see the walking wounded and the living dead
It's never been this hot and i've never been so bored
And breathing is just no fun anymore
And then i saw you like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that i ever said
I saw you like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that i ever said
Come on! come on!
And there'll be no turning back
You were only killing time and it'll kill you right back
Come on! come on!
It's time to burn up the fuse
You've got nothing to do and even less to lose
You've got nothing to do and even less to lose
So wander down the ancient hallway
Taking the stairs only one at a time
Follow the sound of my heartbeat now
I'm in the room at the top, you're at the end of the line
Open the door and lay down on the bed
The sun is just a ball of desire
And i wanna take you out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
And i wanna take you out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
And into the fire! fire! fire!
And into the fire! fire! fire!
And into the fire! fire! fire!
And into the fire!

6. _ Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through
When the wind is howling through your window pane
It's not the only pain of the night
Your burning up in your bed, you gotta fever of love
And there's not an antibody insight
Hey jenny, jenny why are you crying
There's a beauty of a moon in the sky
But i guess when you've been leading such a sheltered life
You never lift your head and look so high
You don't have a lot
But it's all that you've got
And you can turn it into more than it seems
Just give it a shot
Fantisize every movement
And imagine every inch of your dreams
And no one said it had to be real
But it's gotta be something you can reach out and feel now
It ain't right
It ain't fair
Castles fall in the sand
And we fade in the air
And the good girls go to heaven, but the bad girls go everywhere
Ooh now good girls go to heaven, but the bad girls go everywhere
Sombody told me so
Somebody told me now i know
Every night in my prayers
I'll be praying
That the good girls go to heaven, but the bad girls go everywhere
When the sweat is sizzling
On you skin in the dark
And your desperate now for somewhere to turn
Every muscle's in rebellion
Every nerve is on edge
And every limb is being erotically burned
Hey johnny, johnny why are you shaking?
When a boy should do whatever he can
You've been nothing but an angel
Every day of your life and now you wonder what it's like to be bad
You don't have a lot
But it's all that you've got
And you can turn it into more than it seems
Just give it a shot
Fantisize every movement
And imagine every inch of your dreams
And no one said it had to be real
But it's gotta be something you've been wanting to feel now
It ain't right
It ain't fair
Castles fall in the sand
And we fade in the air
And the good boys go to heaven, but the bad boys go everywhere
Good boys go to heaven, but the bad boys go everywhere
Sombody told me so
Somebody told me now i know
Every night in my prayers
I'll be praying
That the good boys go to heaven, but the bad boys go everywhere
Every time i try and dream you
I can't beleive how hard it's been to
Conjure up your face and trace your body in the air
All the seconds go on forever
But the thirds and the forth ones are even better
And every time i do it just a little bit longer
Every time i dream, it's just a little bit stronger than
Real life
And no one said it had to be real
But it's gotta be something you can reach out and feel now
It ain't right
It ain't fair
Castles fall in the sand
And we fade in the air
And the good girls go to heaven, but the bad girls go everywhere
Ooh now good girls go to heaven, but the bad girls go everywhere
Sombody told me so
Somebody told me now i know
Every night in my prayers
I'll be praying
That the good girls go to heaven, but the bad girls go everywhere

7. _ Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are
Wasted youth
Wasted youth
I remember everything!
I remember everything little thing, as if it happened yesterday
I was barely seventeen, and i once killed a boy with a fender guitar
I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stratocaster
But i do remember that it had a heart of chrome, and a voice like a horny angel
I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stratocaster
But i do remember that it wasn't at all easy
It required the perfect combanation of the right power chords
And the percise angel from which to strike!
The guitar bled for about a week afterwords
And the blood was zoot, dark and rich, like wild berrys
The blood of the guitar was chuck berry red
The guitar bled for about a week afterwords
But it rung out beautifly
And i was able to play notes that i had never even heard before
So i took my guitar
And i smashed it aganist the wall
I smashed it aganist the floor
I smashed it aganist the body of a varisty cheerleader
Smashed it aganist the hood of a car
Smasned it aganist a 1981 harley-davaidson
The harley howled in pain
The guitar howled in heat
And i ran up the stairs to my parents bedroom
Mommy and daddy were sleeping in the moonlight
Slowly i opened the door
Creeping in the shadows right up to the foot of their bed
I raised the guitar high above my head
And just as i was about to bring the guitar crashing down upon the center of the bed
My father woke up, screaming "stop!"
"wait a minute. stop it boy. what do you think your doing?"
"that's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument"
And i said, "god damn it daddy,"
"you know i love you, but you've got a hell of a lot to learn about rock n' roll"

8. _ I'd Do Anything For Love (but I Won't Do That)
You can't run away forever
But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start
You want to shut out the night
You want to shut down the sun
You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart
Thing of how we'd lay down together
We'd be listening to the radio so loud and so strong
Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods
Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs
I treasure your love
I never want to lose it
You've been through the fires of hell
And i know you've got the ashes to prove it
I treasure your love
I want to show you how to use it
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
And i know you've got the scars to prove it
Remember everything that i told you
Well i'm telling you again that it's true
When you're alone and afraid
And you're completely amazed
To find there's nothing anybody can do
Keep on believing
And you'll discover baby
There's always something magic
There's always something new
And when you really, really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through
The beat is yours forever
The beat is always true
And when you really, really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through...for you...
Once upon a time was a backbeat
Once upon a time all the chords came to life
And the angels had guitars even before they had wings
If you hang on to a chorus you get through the night
I treasure your love
I never want to lose it
You've been through the fires of hell
And i know you've got the ashes to prove it
I treasure your love
I want to show you how to use it
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
And i know you've got the scars to prove it
Remember everything that i told you
Well i'm telling you again that it's true
You're never alone cause you can put on the phones
And let the drummer tell your heart ehat to do
Keep on believing
And you'll discover baby
There's always something magic
There's always something new
And when you really, really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through
The beat is yours forever
The beat is always true
And when you really, really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through...for you...

9. _ Good Girls Go To Heven(but The Bad Girls Go Everywhere
I want my money back
I want my money back
It's all or nothing
And nothing's all i ever get
Every time i turn it on
I burn it up and burn it out
It's always something
There's always something going wrong
That's the only guarantee
That's what this is all about
It's a never ending attack
Everything's a lie, and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and i want my money back!
And all the morons
And all the stooges with their coins
They're the ones who make the rules
It's not a game - it's just a rout
There's desperation
There's desperation in the air
It leaves a stain on all your clothes
And no detergant gets it out
And we're always slipping through the the cracks
Then the movie's over - fade to black
Life is a lemon and i want my money back!
I want my money back
I want my money back
What about love?
It's defective!
It's always breaking in half
What about sex?!
It's defective!
It's never built to really last
What about your family?
It's defective!
All the batteries are shot
What about your friends?
They're defective!
All the parts are out of stock
What about hope?
It's defective!
It's corroded and decayed
What about faith?
It's defective!
It's tattered and it's frayed
What about your gods?
They're defective!
They forgot the warranty
What about your town?
It's defective!
It's a dead end street to me
What about your school?
It's defective!
It's a pack of useless lies
What about your work?
It's defective!
It's a crock and then you die
What about your childhood?
It's defective!
It's dead and buried in the past
What about your future?
It's defective!
And you can shove it up your ass!!
I want my money back
I want my money back
It's all or nothing
And nothing's all i ever get
Every time i turn it on
I burn it up and burn it out
It's a never ending attack
Everything's a lie, and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and i want my money back!
And we're always slipping through the the cracks
Then the movie's over-fade to black
Life is a lemon and i want my money back!
