I took a flag to a pawn shop
For a broken guitar
I took a flag to a pawn shop
How much is that guitar?
I took a flag to a pawn shop
I got me that guitar
What’s a flag in a pawn shop to me?

Saw a man on the TV
In a mask with a gun
A man on the TV
He had a ten year old son
I saw a man on the TV
His son had a gun
And it says that he’s coming for me

Chorus
I never loved the soldier
Until the wars awoke
I thought about tomorrow
’til my baby hit the floor
I only talk to God
When somebody’s about to die
I never cherished freedom
Freedom never cries

I wrote a song for a dead man
To settle my soul
A song for a dead man
And now I’ll never grow old
I wrote a song for a dead man
Now I’m hollowed in the cold
What’s a song to a dead man to me?

Chorus
I never loved the soldier
Until the wars awoke
I thought about tomorrow
’til my baby hit the floor
I only talk to God
When somebody’s about to die
I never cherished freedom
Freedom never cries

You can cry for her
Die for her
Lay down your life for her
Kiss and wave goodbye to her
Anything at all
You can cry for her
Die for her
Make up your mind to her
Anything at all

There’s a baby on the doorstep
Wailing away
There’s a baby on the doorstep
Longing for the day
There’s a baby on the doorstep
Who’d give his life to take
A flag to a pawn shop
A flag to a pawn shop
May he forget why he is crying
Someday

Got a package full of Wishes
A Time machine, a Magic Wand
A Globe made out of Gold
No Instructions or Commandments
Laws of Gravity or
Indecisions to uphold
Printed on the box I see
A.C.M.E.'s Build-a-World-to-be
Take a chance - Grab a piece
Help me to believe it
What kind of world do you want?
Think Anything
Let's start at the start
Build a masterpiece
Be careful what you wish for
History starts now...
Should there be people or peoples
Money, Funny pedestals for Fools who never pay
Raise your Army - Choose your Steeple
Don't be shy, the satellites can look the other way
Lose the Earthquakes - Keep the Faults
Fill the oceans without the salt
Let every Man own his own Hand
Can you dig it baby
What kind of world do you want
Think Anything
Let's start at the start
Build a masterpiece
Be careful what you wish for
History starts now...
Sunlight's on the Bridge
Sunlight's on the Way
Tomorrow's Calling
There's more to this than Love
What Kind of world do you want
What Kind of world do you want
What Kind of world do you want
Think Anything
Let's start at the start
Build a masterpiece
History Starts Now
Be careful what you wish for
Start Now

Early one morning at county line
The swells 4-6 approaching 9
The barrel of my life hit the Malibu Sky
A Golden State Pipe
Conchita was mine

Suddenly a local on a Boogie in a thong
Cut in on my line
My Barrel was gone
Her Pepperdine stud screamed,
Val that's what you get
I shot him with a gun behind Neptune's Net.

Killed a man I don't know what the fuss is
I'm just looking for some California Justice

Took off in the Mustang for the 395
Double double in Mohave
Took a left at Lone Pine
I powered up the top of Mt Whitney
They may not have a Jamba Juice but here they'll never get me

While working my tan looked down the cliff to see
A line of black and whites dropped by a yellow jersey
Called Uncle Arnie said,
What's going on
He said,
New sheriff in town name's Lance Armstrong

Killed a man I don't know what the fuss is
I'm just looking for some California justice

Hired a fixer to keep things blurry
Sent the shuttle to space for the perfect jury
The judge dropped the bar and to the court decreed
You can lay down all you like
Tell me what you see

I'm free
Heading up the Truckee River
To catch me a brown though the water makes me shiver
Mistake I made was crossing the border
Casinos for me are cooked and made to order

I didn't intend to kill the dealer last night
But I doubled down to 20
His 16 pulled a 5
Now I'm heading back to Cali bound for Tahoe City

Killed a man I don't know what the fuss is
I'm just looking for some California justice

Moral of the story keep the straight and narrow
Your eyes on the ball
Your hands off the sparrow
Every country needs one broken arrow
At least we gave you Ronnie Reagan, Sonny & Chero

I'll meet you down behind Neptune's Net
Catch my honey in the thong
Do you get it yet?
We'll catch barrels every day
I'm just surfing U.S.A.

There was a man back in '95
Whose heart ran out of summers
But before he died, I asked him

Wait, what's the sense in life
Come over me, Come over me

He said,

Son why you got to sing that tune
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
Then you will see... You will see


Then he said,

Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...

Picked up my kid from school today

Did you learn anything cause in the world today
You can't live in a castle far away
Now talk to me, come talk to me


He said,

Dad I'm big but we're smaller than small
In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all
Still every mother's child sings a lonely song
So play with me, come play with me

And Hey Dad
Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...

I said,

Son for all I've told you
When you get right down to the
Reason for the world...
Who am I?

There are secrets that we still have left to find
There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
There are answers we're not wise enough to see

He said... You looking for a clue I Love You free...

The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
A song plays on while the moon is hiding over me
Something comes over me

I guess we're big and I guess we're small
If you think about it man you know we got it all
Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball
And I love you free
I love you freely

Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...

She's my time machine
She's my rolling memory
She's my family
And I love her so
She knows my secrets well
But her back seat won't ever tell
She's no Jezebel
My '65 Mustang rides along
Every mile's another song
And what I don't remember
She never forgets
That little girl ain't let me down yet
It all comes back to me
When I turn that horse's key
I'm 17 or 23
Or bringing home my first baby
Like Dad did when the '65 was three
She's been four colors
We've broken forty laws
She goes where she wants
No matter what the cost
No power nothing here
AC's 2 by 75
Yea you got it man
You roll em down and drive
My '65 Mustang rides along
Every mile's another song
And what I don't remember
She never forgets
That little girl ain't let me down yet
It all comes back to me
When I turn that horse's key
I'm 17 or 23
Or bringing home my first baby
Like Dad did when the '65 was three
Don't need to play no new CD's
She's enough music for me
I Don't need no new AC
Cause she's cooler than I'll ever be
My wild Mustang
She's waiting on me
Ready to take us away
Sail across the sea
When I'm on her back
I'm the boy each man should be
She's My Family Tree
My '65 Mustang rides along
Every mile's another song
And what I don't remember
She never forgets
That little girl ain't let me down yet
It all comes back to me
When I turn that horse's key
And she roars to me...I'm 23
Or bringing home my first baby
Like Dad did when the '65 was three
She's my family

Got to get away from here...
Got to get away from all these thinkers... drinking up my thoughts again
Got to get away from here...
Got to get away from all these choosers, losers... all my best of friends
Sit back New York City
You're not cute but you're oh so pretty
When the rain comes you fall up again...
SUNNY... You are a part of me
SUNNY... You are the heart of me

Got to get away from here...
Got to get away from all these people who need people... You know it really makes me sick
Got to get away from here...
Got to get away from expectations, recreations, just for the sake of it

Sit back New York City
You're not cute but you're oh so pretty
When the rain comes you fall up again...
SUNNY... You are a part of me
SUNNY... You are the heart of me

Sit back New York City
You're not cute but you're oh so pretty
When the rain falls you come up again
Sit back New York City friend...

Got to get away from here...
Got to get away from what I'm thinking...I'm thinking...it's too much for anyone...
Got to get away from here...
Got get away from what you're drinking... you're drinking...so I'll take another one...

What is Courage
Is it Brave
What are Lions
I’ve only seen them in parades
How is love supposed to read
In a footnote of history
What’s a tap on your shoulder
That you’re afraid to look over
A soldier’s down in a fire fight
No one can look me in the eye
This is what it means to be alone.
Tear out my Heart
Feed it to Lions
For this one wish I beg you this tonight
Show me no mercy
But spare me my pride
I’m going for a drive
And if you find out he’s coming home
When I come around the corner
I’ll know that it’s alright
Just leave me two lights
He was young just 23
Didn’t have to go
But it was the man he wanted to be
Like every son he was an only one
One day he came to me, said
Freedoms nothing to look over
Till each man can stand upon its shoulder
I’ll right you mountains of letters
Each one a little bit better
And know I’ll never be alone
Tear out my Heart
Feed it to Lions
For this one wish I beg you this tonight
Show me no mercy
But spare me my pride
I’m going for a drive
And if you find out he’s coming home
When I come around the corner
I’ll know that it’s alright
Leave me two lights
Silent Angels
Light the road up ahead
As the sentries guard the way
On the avenue of borrowed time
I’m almost home
The sun’s to rise
I got to know
I’ve been driving all the night
There’s our corner up ahead
I’m alive and I am dead
I drive right through the stop sign
I turn my head
As I lift my eyes
My eyes burn
Tear out my Heart
Feed it to Lions
For this one wish I beg you this tonight
Show me no mercy
Spare me my pride
I’m going for a drive

Lonely, yeah that’s the word
I leave my heart when I leave her
The days go on forever and the nights do too
One evening out on the road
A half a world away from home
I thought she was sleeping
When the call came through
I said, Darling, it’s late, is everything ok
Silence took over the room
Til she said
I... I just Love You
I Don’t Know Why, I Just Do
When are you coming home
I’m coming home soon
And I just love you too
Lonely lets me be
For a while she sets me free
I close my eyes and I dream of her
She’s lost in my arms
Her head on my heart
And softly she whispers the words
I...I just Love You
I Don’t Know Why, I Just Do
When are you coming home
I’m coming home soon
And I just love you too
I’ll never stop being amazed
How my 4-year old girl knows exactly what to say
I, I just Love You
I Don’t Know Why, I Just Do
When are you coming home
I’m coming home soon
Cause I just love you too

Hey Kid... Your time has come to change
Though I need you more than I've needed anyone in any way tonight
Hey Kid... I know it won't be long
The Captain's calling...come to see you back where we belong

Something inside me is breaking
Something inside says there's somewhere better than this...

Sunset sailing on April skies
Bloodshot fire clouds in her eyes
I can't say what I might believe
But if God made you he's in love with me

Hey Kid...Do wishes count at all
Can you give me a sign...give me anything I won't tell a soul you told
Hey Kid...Will you hold me when I sleep
Will you find me when the tide decides that I got to leave

Something inside me is breaking
Something inside says there's somewhere better than this...

Sunset sailing on April skies
Bloodshot fire clouds in her eyes
I can't say what I might believe
But if God made you he's in love with me

Sunset sailing on April skies
Bloodshot fire clouds in your eyes
I can't say what I might believe
But if God made you he's in love with me

Something inside me is breaking
Something inside says there's somewhere better than this my love

Sunset sailing on April skies
Bloodshot fire clouds in her eyes
I can't say what I might believe
But if God made you he's in love with me

Sunset sailing on April skies
Bloodshot fire clouds in your eyes
I can't say what I might believe
But if God made you... he's in love with me...

You were wrong You were right
You are gone Tonight
You were free So alive
You were wrong You were right

You were down You could see
You wore hearts for me
You were sharp Sharp as knives
You were wrong You were right

Shot down? said you never had the chance
Took a ride on a suicide romance
Could have sworn there was somebody home
To facilitate the great unknown
Woman, I aint going to meet you anywhere
Dont know where Im going yet,
But I sure am getting there

Shotgun fire? anybody home
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright? Its not easy tonight

You were bound You were free
You wear black for me
You were dark Dark as night
You were wrong You were right

Shot down? said you never had the chance
Took a ride on a suicide romance
Could have sworn there was somebody home
To facilitate the great unknown
But woman, I aint going to meet you anywhere
Dont know where Im going yet But I sure am getting there

Shotgun fire? anybody home
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright? It?s not easy tonight

She's In. Over my head and its not easy its not easy tonight

Shotgun fire? anybody home
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright? Its not easy tonight

You were free Now your not
You were free

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird...I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd...but don't be nieve
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won't you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me
Up, up and away...away from me
It's all right...You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy...or anything...
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
It's not easy to be me.

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you've on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
100년
나는 잠시 15살이었지
10대와 20대의 사이
나는 꿈꾸고 있을 뿐이었어
너에게 닿을 수 있는 방법들을 궁리하면서
나는 잠시 22살이었지
그녀의 기분이 너무 좋았어
우리는 서로 정열적으로 사랑했었고
화성으로부터 돌아오고 있었지
15살, 너에겐 아직 시간이 충분해
모든 걸 얻고, 또 잃을 시간
15살로 돌아가는 것, 그보다 나은 소원이 또 있을까
어차피 100년밖에 살지 못하잖아
나는 잠시 33살이었지
전과 똑같은 사람이었지만 난 나의 짝을 만났어
꿈이 있는 그런 사람
이제 내 머릿속에는 가족이 자리잡았다네
나는 잠시 45살이었지
내 앞의 험한 벽은 높았었고
고비를 넘겨내는 동안
시간은 계속 흘러갔어
15살, 너에겐 아직 시간이 충분해
모든 걸 얻고, 또 때론 하루만에 모든 걸 다 잃을 시간
15살, 정말 행복할 것 같아
15살로 돌아가는 것, 그보다 나은 소원이 또 있을까
어차피 100년밖에 살지 못하잖아
생의 절반이 흘러가 버렸고
갑자기 모든 일에 대한 지혜가 생겼어
눈을 깜박하는 순간
67살은 흘러가 버렸지
태양은 저 높이 빛나고
우리는 다만 계속해서 살아갈 뿐

나는 잠시 99살이었어
한순간만 넘기면 죽음이 날 기다려
그러나 나는 꿈꾸고 있을 뿐
너에게 닿을 방법을 궁리하면서
15살, 시간은 충분해
22살, 나도 그녀를 느끼지
33살, 나름대로의 삶을 살아가고 있어
모든 날들이 새로운 날들이야

15살엔 시간은 충분하단다
선택과 성취의 시간
15살로 돌아가는 것보다 나은 소원이 또 있을까
어차피 100년밖에 살지 못할 테니까.

Sometimes I think about silly things
It’s easy to do if you have the time
Often happens when I’m falling off to sleep
After a second glass of wine
The clock is usually running out
Down by one or could be tied
I’m fading back
Winding up
The championship on the line...but...
What if there was a road to heaven
That’s what came to me today
Would there be Traffic jams with diamond lanes
Potholes filled up with rain
Would there be Tolls still left to pay
If there was a road to heaven
Made of gold or made out of clay
Would the Angels wave me up the hill
Or in my mirror just fade away
I’ve never been the kind a man who hits his knees
Got no answers for big questions
I don’t know...
Maybe tomorrow lightning will hit me on the head
And we can find out if we’re just a joke
Jesus I’m told can build a bridge
Finer than any other man
There’s a certain peace to an country road
With a wheel in your hand
If there was a road to heaven
Would there be laws I must obey
If I drove my mustang 85
Late one night turned out the lights
Would the stars still light the way
If there was a road to heaven
Made of Gold or Made of Clay
Would the Angels lead me up the hill
Or in my mirror just fade away
Night turns morning
The old man should be snoring
I got to get some sleep before I’m awake
Up with the monkeys
I sure love the monkeys
But This job ain’t all cookies and cake
Sometimes I think about silly things
It’s easy to do if you got the wine
In The Eagle we’re landing
I’m the President
Or a foreign king
With a harem from Encino to Brunei
But if there was a road to heaven
It’d be one long and crazy ride...
If there was a road to heaven babe
That’s a road that I’d like to find.

Take off your shoes... Take off yourself
Take off your rented mental health
Take off your raincoat... settle down
Take off your nightmare and your frown
There is a place for you to go
To see another ringer in a rock show
Take my pretense for a time
Cause I want to say to you

I'm nobody without you...buddy
My long lost friend

If you're not here to hear me scream
Am I silent like a dream
Where all the dragons are my friends
Each night we meet our bitter ends
Do I need you to make me real
Like Wheeler spinning his own wheel
Quantum strings within my brain
Popping sanities insane

I'm nobody without you...buddy
My long lost friend

Not everybody has a brain
Not everybody's going sane
Not everybody wishes well
Not everybody's heaven's hell
Sometimes there's someone to blame
Sometimes a place for shame
Sometimes good's better than bad
Sometimes good's better than bad
Sometimes good's better than bad
Sometimes you're better than me

Heaven fell on herself tonight
As the devil met me in the wishing well
And in that moment I found myself knowing
That in the end it's just about you and me
Nothing smaller or larger
Though dragons are good for the soul
Nothing can be better than baring yourself for another...
Open for scrutiny, ridicule, and indulgence
Therein lies the balls, and the mind, and the heart...
As fear is truly the Mindkiller...
When nothing is left...
Everything is gained...
You see I wish I was a poet
But I know as we go round and round
Though endings are never ever happy
It's the happy moments along the way
That in the end
Make it...ok...

Welcome to the first day of the rest of my life
The tension is so think you can cut it with a knife
Something's happened
Things will never be the same
There's blood on the carpet
I'm rewiring my brain

I got some new friends down at West Valley PD
You can change the channel but I'm all that's on TV
The only good news is that he's going to be o.k.
Got a bomb in my stomach but I'm dreaming that one day

I'll be going to a Policeman's Xmas party
Have a couple beers get funky on the dance floor
Going to a Policeman's Xmas party
Gonna have a good time for the rest of my life

4 weeks later it's still raining in the park
Marine with a gun guards my house now after dark
I look for clues like I'm Inspector Clouseau
You can have my money honey I just want to go

Go to a policeman's Xmas party
Have a couple beers get my funky on the dance floor
Go to a policeman's Xmas party
Gonna have a good time for the rest of my life...

There's cops on the ceiling
There's cops on the floor
There's cops in the windows
Cops breaking down the door
You'll never feel safer in your life
The captain even likes to get freaky on my wife

We're going to a Policeman's Xmas party
Have a couple beers get my funky on the dance floor
Going to a Policeman's Xmas party
Gonna have a good time for the rest...

Welcome to the best day of the rest of my life
My buddies broke the case and now it's gonna be alright
Moral of the story, it don't matter who you are
Be careful what you wish for they'll be calling you a rock star

People from earth there's never been a harder core
Party like this party in a million years or more
The floor itself is hopping like a freaking kangaroo
The D.J.'s in his P.J.'s playing..."everybody wants you!"

Going to a policeman's Xmas party
Have a couple beers get funky on the dance floor
Going to a policeman's Xmas party
Going to have a good time the rest of my life!

Take off your clothes
Take off everything you are
Take off your heart
Get funky on the dance floor

Going to have a good time for the rest
