My Life Is Starting Over

My life is starting over again
My friends, say I'm back again
My life is starting over again
My fame is spreading across the land
Now I've got me a band
My fame is spreading across the land
My life is starting over again
I know that there's no place left to hide
But I guess that it's better than suicide
The years of suffering and pain
There's no one to blame except myself
But my life is starting over again
My time is fleeting fast
It just won't last
I forgot about the past
But my life starting over again
I know that there's no place left to hide
But I guess that it's better than suicide
My life is starting over again
My friends, say I'm back again
My life is starting over again

Honey I Sure Miss You

Honey, I sure miss you
And I long to kiss you
And I miss you so much
Your loving touch
You brought out the best in me
Can you bring it back to me?
'Cause I love you so much
Your loving touch
Every time I think about you
Love comes down
But you're still not around
Honey, I sure miss you
And I wish you were here today
'Cause I want you so much
Your loving touch
Nothing more important to me
No one anymore closer to me
'Cause I love you so much
Your loving touch
Every time I think about you
Love comes down
But you're still not around

I Feel So High
03:19
|
|||

Everything is so much better
Now that we are back together
I did what I had to make you mine
Just to see your shiny face
Makes me feel like on a race
And everyday is Christmas time
I feel so high
I feel so high
I feel so high
I feel so high
I promise you everything
Now I give it to you too
I'll buy you a wedding ring
Put it on your finger with glue
You're the only one
I could ever look in the eye
I love you forever even after I die
I feel so high
I feel so high
I feel so high
I feel so high

A Ghostly Story
02:57
|
|||
|
While walking the streets late one night I saw a ghost approaching me He told me about the life he lived and how he died a sorry death
I recognized him as a most famous man I had seen so much on television
A man who stood for what is true and right
He built the world's momentum
He said...He told me... of that fateful day when his
Life was taken from him
How everything was in slow motion and he could see the bullet coming and he knew
He was going to die
But before he did he quickly prayed and asked if he could stay
And now he's trapped in another dimension seeking vengeance on those that killed him
And the number was 60 million
He convinced me that they should die for what they had done to him
And that he could not rest ... unless ... and until ... I would appease him
Was a righteous man
He told me of the villain who planned his execution
How he had exploited him and ruined his reputation
I knew that I must and that it was just
I had to destroy a nation
He lead me to a secret place where was a giant plane
And upon it a giant bomb the size of of football field
He read to me for hours a list of all the people I would kill
He instructed me and briefed me on the mechanics
The first thing I knew it was Christmas day
I flew over the country, that was my prey
We laughed and joked about how soon it would all be blown away
I pressed a button and all of a sudden I was a ghost too
We were surrounded by angels and we looked down the portals to see what we had wrought
"Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!"
"Vengeance is mine!", saith the LORD

Tell Me Now
03:27
|
|||
|
You’ll never know dear, the tears that I cry
I don’t want to wait girl, till the day that I die
Tell me now, oh-oh, do you really love me?
I don’t understand the things that you do
You promised to make me the king of the zoo
Tell me now, oh-oh, do you really love me?
In this world it's hard to find
A friend - how come?
But if this really is love
Then lets get it on, on
Ohhh!
I want to know, dear, the way that you feel
I’m on a roll, girl, my heart's like a wheel
Tell me now, oh-oh, do you really love me?
If I could trust the look in your eye
But if your kiss would be lie
Tell me now, oh-oh, do you really love me?
In this world it's hard to find
A friend - how come?
But if this really is love
Then lets get it on, on
Ohhh!
Tell me now, oh-oh
Do you really love me?
Do you really love me?
Do you really love me?
When they said that love was dead
They were just playing with your head
Love is real
It’s the way that I feel
I love you
Do you really love me?
Do you really love me?
Do you really love me?
Tell me now

Easy Listening

I've been up
I've been down
I've been everywhere just hanging around
I've been lost
I've been found
If it's good enough forgive this town
And I know
You'll grieve
For me
Someday
But it's easy listening for you now!
What it's about
Watch my mouth
Songs come out
Don't you doubt!
Every boy
Every girl
I only want the whole wide world
Dedicated
That's me
My posters plastered on every wall
And I know
You'll grieve
For me
Someday
But it's easy listening for you now!
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
It's a hard
Long road
I suffered and I've starved
I'm surprised I've come this far
My guitar's going to make this show
And I know
You'll grieve
For me
Someday
But it's easy listening for you now!
What it's about
Watch my mouth
Songs come out
Don't you doubt
And if you like the song I wrote
You can get aboard the boat
Try to keep the world afloat
I hope....
But it's easy listening for you now!

I Know Casper
02:00
|
|||
|
I know Casper personally
He's a personal friend of mine
He always comes to see me almost all the time
He's my friend
He hops into the T.V
Pretends he's in the movies
I try to change the channel
But he's on every station
He hides inside the mailbox just to surprise the postman
He hops onto the school bus to play with the children
People put him down
They say he's just a clown
But I know he's better then that
He's an angel from above his heart is full of love
But I never thought to ask him how he dies
He majored in music in heaven
He likes the number seven
He flies through the sky
And makes me want to cry
And wish that I can do that
He said be faithful and be true
And someday you will too
Casper the friendly ghost
He really is the most
I like to brag and boast that I know him
He's my friend

The Startling Facts
01:53
|
|||
|
In a series of events that led up
To the startling facts
Are coming back to haunt me
My friend Dale the young preacher told me
That he grandfather had died
And he wanted me to go
To the funeral with him, so I did
Not thinking that she would be there
The girl that I loved
That was to wed the undertaker
So when we got there
I was surprised to see her
And there was Dale's dead grandfather
And there stood Laurie
Hanging coats for the guests
She looked so beautiful
I walked up to her and shook her hand
And I said, hi, how are you?
At the graveside services during the prayer
I looked up to look at her
And the undertaker popped me the finger
I never will forget
Such a striking predicament
The feeling of it
The body in the casket
The series of events that led up to it
The startling facts
Are coming back to me

There's got to be a God
I mean, I hope so
But if there is a God
I really don't know
But I'm hoping
Yes, I'm hoping
I'm hoping there is a God
All around the world
It looks awful bad
All around the world
It seems pretty sad
But I'm hoping
Yes, I'm hoping
I'm hoping there is a God
Take my hand now
Girl, don't you know?
I love you so
I love you so
And I'm hoping
Yes, I'm hoping
I'm hoping there is a God

It's Got To Be Good

I'll be around
I did the sound
Won't bring me down
I know it's got to be good
I'll be your clown
Won't wear a frown
Won't bring you down
You know it's got to be good
I am no actor
In the hereafter
I'll be at home
I know it's got to be good
You see me smile
And after a while
You'll smile too
You know it's got to be good
I promise you
And I will too
And when I'm through
You know it's got to be good

Happy Soul
03:53
|
|||
|
I got a mind blowing philosophy
I don't know exactly what it is
But I feel it in my head down to my toe
And you can hear it in my rock and roll
It's cool, it's cool
The sound of my happy soul
She has such pretty flesh
Just the thought of touching her makes me feel complete
I never met a girl I didn't meet
I feel so strong I used to be so weak
It's cool, it's cool
The sound of my happy soul
Ohhh, ooooh, ooooh
Ooooooohhhhhhhhh... Wooo!
People within my mind, my secret heart bleeds
But you're the only one who can show me
When I see my reflection in your heart
I know I don't want to die
It's cool, it's cool
The sound of my happy soul
I write so many songs at an alarming rate
It sucks up to tears and reverberates the hate
And I know it's not too late
For me and all my friends
It's cool, it's cool
The sound of my happy soul
Happy soul
My happy soul
Happy soul
My happy soul
Happy, happy, happyyyyyy...
I'm so happy

The Dream Is Over
01:43
|
|||
|
She walked into the room
Suddenly I felt fat
It only took her one look
To see where I was at
It don't hurt me anymore
Don't 'cha know I'm just a ghost?
I died a long time ago
I just wanted a dose of love
But it's over
The dream is over
And now I walk the lonely road back home
Sitting by myself and all alone
Maybe if I had stayed just a little bit longer
But when she smiled at me I just had to run and hide
She's so attractive I can't help but look at her
She appears like a vision
When she exits it's a nightmare
But it's over
The dream is over
And now I walk the lonely road back home
Sitting by myself and all alone
I could try to find another
But I really had my heart set on you
Don't tell me the dream is over
I live in a dream
I thought there was something there
I really thought that you cared
But I guess that you simply changed your mind
But it's over
The dream is over
And now I walk the lonely road back home
Sitting by myself and all alone

When I saw you at the store
I knew you were the one
The love of my life
I could see you were an angel
So I did what I could
To (???)
I can tell you how I love you, love you
I can tell you how I feel, how I feel
Like the sky that is above you, 'bove you
My love is around you
And it's real
Yeah
You're so beautiful to the core
The one that I adore
The love of my life
No one's been to such a height
High as I am
Flying like a kite
I can tell you how I love you, love you
I can tell you how I feel, how I feel
Like the sky that is above you, 'bove you
My love is around you
And it is real
Yeah
When I saw you at the funeral
You were sitting there like a temple
The love of my life
Not a moment that time erased
The memory of your face
The love of my life
I can tell you how I love you, love you
I can tell you how I feel, how I feel
Like the sky that is above you, 'bove you
My love is around you
And it's real
Yeah
The love of my life

I'm moving on, I'm getting out
I killed the monster
Passed it behind, fate has been kind
I've killed the monster
I know it's right, I've learned to fight
I've killed the monster
Let it be said when I am dead
I've killed the monster
He put me down, throw my name around
But I have found a good thing
Right to the end, I was my friend
I killed the monster
I almost lost, I paid the cost
I killed the monster
Angels came down right on the ground
I killed the monster
Blood on the ground, there was no sound
I was the winner
They put me down, throw my name around
But I have found a good thing
I killed the monster
I killed the monster
I killed the monster
Ahhh, ahhh
Ahhh, ahhh
[Haha, hold on, I did it
Yeah! Oh my soul! Ahwoooo
Hey dude, yeah oh oh ha ha!

I'm so happy. ahhh, yeah. All right

We hope you like it. Wooo...

Laurie
02:21
|
|||
|
Once I saw the most beautiful girl
Sitting next to me
I asked her what was her name
She said it was 'Laurie'
She worked at the store and I opened that door
Just to see her face
She always made me feel at home
I never felt out of place
But she already had a boyfriend
An undertaker was he
And they got married
And had a little baby
I became obsessed with death, my friend
Certain that it would happen to me
And I would be in the hands
Of my dear Laurie
I can't explain such love aflame
I overcame victorious
Filled my heart with such desire
So grand and so glorious
Laurie, sweet, an angel dear
Is here with me today
Not a person, but a memory
With me will always stay

Fate Will Get Done
05:08

Time flies when you're having fun
The aborted babies are the lucky ones
We live in a cold, hard world
The future will be unfurled
But it's alright, it's alright
Fate will get done
It's alright, it's alright
Fate will get done
History repeats itself
There's a heaven and there's a hell
Can't undo what's been done
My advice to you is to carry on
But it's alright, it's alright
Fate will get done
It's alright, it's alright
Fate will get done
Can't stand in the sinking sand
Can't see the fire without getting burned
Is never too late to turn back
Someday you may have a heart attack
But it's alright, it's alright
Fate will get done
It's alright, it's alright
Fate will get done
It takes a heart to understand
In the dark you're a desperate man
But love can free your mind
Take it in let your aura unwind
But it's alright, it's alright
Fate will get done
It's alright, it's alright
Fate will get done
Earth is an old canvas painted over many times
Wind blows as the ages roll
And time takes its toll
Billions, and billions, and billions sold
But it's alright, it's alright
Fate will get done
It's alright, it's alright
Fate will get done
It's alright, it's alright, alright
It's alright, it's alright, alright
It's alright, it's alright, alright
It's alright, alright, alright
It's alright, alright, alright
It's alright, alright, alright
