2. _ You Can Finally Meet My Mom
Don't cry when I die
When it's my time I probably won't die
I'll just lie down and close my eyes
And think about stuff
These eyes got too wide seen too much of life's goodbyes
Should have spent less time making loot
And spent more time in my birthday suit with you
And everybody upstairs, everybody down stairs
I'm not gonna have time to hang out with them
'cause I'll be hanging out with you
Not Jimi Hendrix, Jesus or the dude
Who played the sherriff in Blazing Saddles
You not Chris Farley Mr. Rodgers oh I've waited so long
You can finally meet my Mom
Life is good, but love it's better
Even Bieber ain't forever
We all got to go you know
So you might as well go in style
Everybody prayin', everybody singing
I'm not gonna have time to hang out with them
'Cause I'll be hanging out with you
Not Gilda Radner, Buddha or the dude
Who had pop rocks and soda at the same time
You, not Jesse James, Paul Newman and oh I've waited so long
You can finally meet my Mom
I'm not making light of things
But who's to say who's right with things like this
There's so much that we miss
Tryin' so hard to be rich and famous
Pretty and thin, to win
It's a shame that youth is wasted on the young
So forget everything and just be with me here now
For as long as we can and whoever goes first save a spot
You, not Etta James, Bob Marley or the girls who won my heart along the way
You, not Sitting Bull, Ella or Bach and I almost forgot
You can finally meet my Mom
(You can finally meet my Mom)
You can finally meet my Mom
(You can finally meet my Mom)
(You can finally meet my Mom)
No Steve Jobs, or Ty Cobbs, Al Capone or any other mobs
No Whitney Houston,no Chet Baker, Andre the Giant or the Undertaker, just you
You can finally meet my Mom
You can finally meet my Mom
You can finally meet my Mom
You can finally meet my Mom

3. _ Mermaid
Whoa, whoa
Can't swim so I took a boat, to an island so remote
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before
Stayed there 'till the air was clear
I was bored and out of tears, then I saw you washed up on the shore
I offered you my coat, thank god this luck can float
Crazy how that shipwreck met my ship was comin' in
We talked 'till the sun went down
Love on the Pugit Sound
My treasure map was on your skin
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Ocean's daughter, I thought love was out of reach
'Till I got her, had I known it could come true
I would have wished in ninety two, for a mermaid just like you
Whoa, just like you, whoa
Shocks, screams with envy they wonder what you see in me
Funny thoughts sometimes can't help but wonder that as well
Now life is a holiday, making up for the years I paid
The way to this heavenly bay, it went through hell
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Ocean's daughter, I thought love was out of reach
Till I got her, had I known it could come true
I would have wished in ninety two, for a mermaid just like you
Whoa, just like you, whoa
Rescued you by the Banu tree, all the girl fish in the sea
Puttin' a candle to you, they don't have a handle on you, they don't have a scandal on you
Holler back will save you
Saving me was B-I-G, all the boy fish in the sea
They all wish that they could be me
Can't swim so I took a boat, to an island so remote
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Ocean's daughter, I thought love was out of reach
'Till I got her, had I known it could come true
I would have wished in ninety two, for a mermaid just like you
Whoa, just like you, whoa
Whoa, just like you, whoa(Rescued you by the Banu tree, all the girl fish in the sea)
Just like you, whoa

5. _ Bruises
Haven't seen you since high school
Good to see you're still beautiful
Gravity has its solitude oh
Quite yet, I bet you're rich as hell
One that's five and one that's three
Been two years since he left me
Good to know that you got free
That town I know was keeping you down on your knees
These bruises make for better conversation
Loses the vibe that separates
It's good to let you in again
You're not alone in how you've been
Everybody loses, we all got bruises
We all got bruises
Have you seen him? Not in years
How about her? No but I hear
She's in Queens with the man of her dreams
Funny back then she said that about you
Caesura you'll never guess who I saw
Remember Johnny B remember him we were best friends, back to be
Let's do this soon again, ten years is that what it's been?
Can't believe how time flies by
Leaving you makes me wanna cry
These bruises make for better conversation
Loses the vibe that separates
It's good to let you in again
You're not alone in how you've been
Everybody loses, we all got bruises
We all got bruises
I would love to fix it all for you
I would love to fix you too
Please don't fix a thing whatever you do
These bruises make for better conversation
Loses the vibe that separates
It's good to know you've got a friend
That you remember now and then
Everybody loses
These bruises make for better conversation
Loses the vibe that separates
It's good to let you in again
You're not alone in how you've been
Everybody loses,everybody loses, everybody loses
We all got bruises, We all got bruises, We all got bruises

6. _ We Were Made for This
I woke up on Angel Island in your arms
To the smell of burning bridges
And the sound of those alarms in my head,
We should have stayed in bed
But we held them up for ransom anyway
When the coldest days of winter were
The summers that we took aim at the Bay
And grateful wasn't dead
And like your lips were only made for me to kiss
Oh oh oh oh
We were made for this
While the girls all danced beneath a burning man
And the last waltz did somersaults to finish off the Band
Where they began in a wonder Winterland
All we ever wanted was to be alone
Learning how to fly to Sly, trying to find home
Underneath the Family Stone
And just like New Year's Day was made to reminisce
Oh oh oh oh
We were made for this
Love and stardust settle on us like a net
While Buckley's "Hallelujah" fills our ears from your cassette
While my heart stops beating, and you stop breathing, Juliette
You're the only thing I'm ever gonna miss
Oh oh oh oh
We were made for this

7. _ California 37
Knock knock, who's there?
Two thousand and twelve is a brand new year
Cleaning house, singing songs
Shedding light and righting wrongs
Ding dong the witch ain't dead
She's still trying to take my bread
Four more years 'til my girls all grown
Then the bitch gotta have to leave me alone
It's all good 'cause I'm as happy as a flea
On a mountain of dogs 'ya see
A little music cured all the hurt and put hate in six feet of dirt
I was looking for some heaven
There's no need to look no more
California thiry seven
Took me right to heaven's door
Knock knock, whoah oh
Rock and Ro-oll
California thirty seven took me right to heaven's door
Here's to those who didn't think Train could ever roll again
You were the fuel that I used when inspiration hit a dead end
San Francisco got it done four one five took the nine one one
Thank you all for believin' in
We won't let you down again
Truth is, it was attitude
Replaced greed with gratitude
Then replaced a pretty key dude
It's all truth not being rude
Making love now, not mistakes
Working hard instead of looking for breaks
Came all the way from the eighth Great Lake
And fond thirty seven reasons to stay
I was looking for some heaven
There's no need to look no more
California thirty seven
Took me right to heaven's door
Knock knock, whoah oh
Rock and Ro-oll
California thirty seven took me right to heaven's door
I was looking for some heaven
There's no need to look no more
California thirty seven
Took me right to heaven's door

8. _ When the Fog Rolls In
Driving over the bridge to give you my kiss
I know you don't love me, I know it ain't easy!
Friends become lovers, and lovers lose friends
That's when the fog rolls in!
Oh, oh, oh
I'm losing you!
Oh, oh, oh
You're losing me too!
In through the kitchen where we used to laugh,
Smells of your cooking, sounds of the past
Somehow we got older, the air just got colder
That's when the fog rolls in!
Oh, oh, oh
I'm losing you!
Oh, oh, oh
You're losing me too!
So much for sowing up
So this is growing up
Everything is going up for sale
The fog kept on rolling in
The time came to sink or swim
They say it's better to try and fail
And we tried like hell
I take a deep breath with my hand on the door
Afraid cause I'm not gonna see you anymore
These were our tender years, this was our street
All of our stop lights and all our concrete
Now it's all somebody else's to take
Until the fog rolls in

9. _ Sing Together
If I go before I say to everyone in my ballet
Let me take this chance to thank you for the dance
If I run out of songs to sing to take your mind off everything
Just smile, sit a while with the Sun on your face
and remember the place we met
Take a breath and soon I bet you'll see
Without you I would never be me
You are the leaves of my family tree
Sing together
If you knew me from the very start,
Or we met last week at the grocery mart
Just sing together
It's the least that I can do
My final gift to you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
When I'm past the pearly gate, I will find some real estate
Where we can settle down and watch the world go round
We'll send down all the love we got and let them know we got a spot
For them to be and it's all free,
The sun on your face and remember the place we met
Take a breath and soon I bet you'll see
Without you I would never be me
You are the leaves of my family tree
Sing together
If you knew me from the very start,
Or not at all you're still a part, just
Sing together
It's the least that I can do
My final gift to you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

10. _ 50 Ways to Say Goodbye
My heart is paralyzed
My head was oversized
I'll take the high road like I should
You said it's meant to be
That it's not you, it's me
You're leaving now for my own good
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
She went down in an airplane
Fried getting suntan
Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She met a shark under water
Fell and no one caught her
I returned everything I ever bought her
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say you died
My pride still feels the sting
You were my everything
Some day I'll find a love like yours (a love like yours)
She'll think I'm Superman
Not super minivan
How could you leave on Yom Kippur?
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
She was caught in a mudslide
Eaten by a lion
Got run over by a crappy purple Scion
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She dried up in the desert
Drown in a hot tub
Danced to death at an east side night club
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say you died
I wanna live a thousand lives with you
I wanna be the one you're dying to
Love, but you don't want to
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
She went down in an airplane
Fried getting suntan
Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She met a shark under water
Fell and no one caught her
I returned everything I ever bought her
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
She was caught in a mudslide
Eaten by a lion
Got run over by a crappy purple Scion
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She dried up in the desert
Drown in a hot tub
Danced to death at an east-side night club
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say goodbye

11. _ This'll Be My Year
In eighty five,
Tuesday morning,
Came alive,
I didn't know you
Route sixty six is gone,
And Reagan's here,
It won't be long
Nintendo comes,
Live Aid, too,
Back to the Future
Where were you,
While I spent all my days
In Catholic school?
In eighty nine,
The dream begins,
First in line to California,
Pete Rose is banned for good,
The Simpsons come to Hollywood,
Russia leaves Afghanistan,
Flight one o three ends Pan Am,
Bush is here
This is the year
That I feel most alone
No more
Countin' down the hours
No more
Wishin' you were here
I stopped believin',
Although Journey told me 'don't'
Before I call it a day,
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
In ninety two,
A boy is born,
The skies were blue
In Ohio
Boris Yeltsin chills,
Freddie dies,
But Queen is still,
Barcelona has the games,
Lady Di is single again,
Clinton wins,
And I still dream
That I'll find you someday
In ninety seven,
A baby girl,
Adds some heaven to the world,
Tony Blair tips the scales,
Elton sings for the Princess of Wales,
Microsoft buys into Mac,
My dad has a second heart attack,
And Train leaves San Francisco
In a thousand-dollar van
No more
Countin' down the hours
No more
Wishin' you were here
I stopped believin',
Although Journey told me 'don't'
Before I call it a day,
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Two thousand and one,
The towers fell,
The World is stunned,
I wish I knew ya
I was on a plane,
The world would never be the same
The artificial heart is born
Ironic when New York's is torn out
Woah-oah-oah-oah
Two thousand and four,
Began in May,
On tour when I met ya
Facebook joins the Internet,
Oldsmobile joins the cassette
I met your family
It took a while until you kissed me,
But when you did,
I finally felt at home
I stopped believin',
Although Journey told me 'don't'
Before I call it a day,
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Two thousand and twelve,
And all I know
Is everybody comes and goes
Everybody sings and cries,
Makes the grade and takes the prize
In somethin', nothin', I don't care,
Because I always know that you'll be here
With me
