Lyrics

1. BOOM BANG BANG

He really wants that woman
She really wants that man
I watch them going crazy
It’s more than they can stand

A different situation
They’d be together now
But things are complicated
Got to get free somehow

Can’t stop…
Got to have a plan
Make a move
Take each other’s hands
Gonna give it everything they can…

Wanna go Boom!
Wanna go Bang Bang!

If they’re gonna be damned
Might as well have a little contraband
Gotta have more than a one night stand…

Wanna go Boom!
Wanna go Bang Bang!

(Boom, Bang, Boom, Bang Bang) (x3)

Wanna go Boom!
Wanna go Bang Bang!

It’s not about creed or color
It’s not about age or guile
It’s not about wealth or status
Just make each other smile

Can’t stop…
Got to have a plan
Make a move
Take each other’s hands
Gonna give it everything they can

Wanna go Boom!
Wanna go Bang Bang!

If they’re gonna be damned
Might as well have a little contraband
Gotta have more than a one night stand…

Wanna go Boom!
Wanna go Bang Bang!


2. ONE SET OF BONES

Movin’ through your life
Try to keep it tight
Got to make a home
Don’t forget…

You only get one set of bones

Try to do what’s right
Sometimes it’s a fight
Make it on your own
But don’t forget…

You get one set of bones
The truth might set you free
You only get one set of bones
I’m gonna make you see
The world don’t owe you nothin’
Ain’t nothin’ carved in stone
But if there’s one thing I can tell you man…
You only get one set of bones
One set of bones

One set of bones
You only get one set of bones


3. BACK 2B4

Don’t look back…
Don’t you ever look over your shoulder
Yesterday’s gone
All you feel is another day older
No regrets…
When your heart has grown colder
Don’t look back…
If there’s anything life’s ever told ya…

I’m not saying it’s a crime
But just don’t waste your time

What a wise man sees
And any fool believes
Whatever happen will be
And we never go back to before

And what we all should know
No matter where we go
Everything will show
That we never go back to before

Don’t look back…
Don’t you know that it’s never again now
Look ahead…
If you want to find out how…

I’m not saying it’s a crime
But just don’t waste your time

What a wise man sees
And any fool believes
Whatever happen will be
And we never go back to before

And what we all should know
No matter where we go
Everything will show
That we never go back to before


4. WINTER SUNLIGHT

Winter Sunlight
Dancing on the sea
By the shoreline
Is where you find us

This is our time
When the tide is in retreat

Winter Sunlight
Is there to guide us
You and me

This could never be the same without you
Secret moments you and I will share
May serenity and love always surround you
Everywhere…
Oh yes…
Everywhere

Winter Sunlight
Dancing on the sea
By the shore line
Is where you find us

This is our time
When the tide is in retreat

Winter Sunlight
Is there to guide us
You and me

This could never be the same without you


5. ROCK’N’ROLL TELEPHONE

I don’t know where I am
Or what day it is
‘Cause I lost my watch and my phone
And no, I don’t feel the biz

Got no money in my pocket
And my clothes are pretty funky
And my hair is all frizz
I have been cast out of the loop with no alternatives

I need my Rock ’n’ Roll Telephone
So I can call you when I’m not at home
To make me feel less like I’m all alone
I need my Rock ’n’ Roll Telephone

Don’t have a sundial
It’s gettin’ harder to smile
Don’t get a wake-up call
I’m feelin’ out of place and you can see it in my face
Looks like I lost it all

I need my Rock ’n’ Roll Telephone
So I can call you when I’m not at home
To make me feel less like I’m all alone
I need my Rock ’n’ Roll Telephone

I need my Rock ’n’ Roll Telephone
So I can call you when I’m not at home
To make me feel less like I’m all alone
I need my Rock ’n’ Roll Telephone

I need my Rock ’n’ Roll Telephone
So I can call you when I’m not at home
To make me feel less like I’m all alone
I need my Rock ’n’ Roll Telephone


6. PUNCH A HOLE IN THE SKY

Screamin’ through the desert sky
Look that demon in the eye

Fire it up
Go for broke
Gotta push the envelope

With balls of steel
A busted arm
Stick of Beemans
Lucky charm

Unafraid to meet his maker
Supersonic aviator

Not for money
Not for fame
Just wanna tame that airplane

Fly like Gods but they’re just men
Tell you what my friend…
You’ll never see their likes again

Punch a hole in the sky
Punch a hole in the sky
You could live or you could die
But you know you’re gonna try to…
Punch a hole in the sky

Some are fast
Some are tough
But sometimes that’s just not enough

When you’re up there…
It might get rough
That’s when you’re gonna need the right stuff

Up in the heavens all alone
A stratospheric twilight zone

I’ll bring this baby back again
First supersonic flight
We’ll all be partyin’ tonight

Punch a hole in the sky
Punch a hole in the sky
You could live or you could die
But you know you’re gonna try to…
Punch a hole in the sky

Punch a hole in the sky
Punch a hole in the sky
You could live or you could die
But you know you’re gonna try to…
Punch a hole in the sky

Punch a hole in the sky
Punch a hole in the sky
High-speed generator
Rocket instigator
Punch a hole in the sky


7. LONG LONG TIME

I’m not always strong
And I’m not always there
And I’ve sure done you some wrong
I don’t always care

I just want you to know…
I’ll be lovin’ you a long, long time
Darlin’ don’t ever go
I’ll be lovin’ you a long, long time

I know that I’m weak
And I’m so not self assured
But emotions don’t speak
And my feelings are pure

I just want you to know…
I’ll be lovin’ you a long, long time
Darlin’ don’t ever go
I’ll be lovin’ you a long, long time

I just want you to know…
I’ll be lovin’ you a long, long time
Darlin’ don’t ever go
I’ll be lovin’ you a long, long time

Want you to know
I want you to know
Want you to know
I want you to know

I want you to know

I just want you to know…
I’ll be lovin’ you a long, long time
Darlin’ don’t ever go
I’ll be lovin’ you a long, long time


8. THE RIGHT TIME

There’s a man
Walking down my street
Wearing old worn out shoes

There’s a woman
Hanging out her sheets
Singing out her blues

There’s a kid
In every classroom
That’s told they’re no good

But if they hang on
They’ll be bang on
They won’t be misunderstood

When it’s the right…
Time in your life
Got to be the right…
Time in your life

You think you’re on your own
But you are not alone
Just got to keep the faith

A dog will have its day
Or so they always say

So keep on holding on
You need to keep it strong
And head for that place

A little peace of mind
The day that you will find
The time of your life

When it’s the right…
Time in your life
Got to be the right…
Time in your life

Now listen…

When it’s the right…
Time in your life
Got to be the right…
Time in your life


9. NOT TODAY

Well the strain that I’m under…
Is the price that I pay
I can still bring the thunder…
Still got something to say

There were times that I thought I was done for
Should I lie? Should I cry? Should I pray?
But I ain’t gonna beg for you no more
Move the world out my way

Not Today (Not Today)
Not that way
Feel the strain that I’m under
Yeah…
I still got the fire in my eyes
Come what may (Come what may)
Price I pay
Chains are dragging me under
Yeah…
Not Today
Not that way

Well the strain that I’m under
Takes its toll everyday
But one way or another
I’ll blow the nightmares away

Understand that I’ll get what I came for
I got nothing to lose anyway
Sick and tired of the strain that I’m under
Move the world out the way

Not Today (Not Today)
Not Today (Not Today)
Not Today (Not Today)
Not Today (Not Today)

I’ve still got the fire in my eyes
I’ve still got the heart to go on
On and on…
I’ll smile through the trial
I’ll go mile after mile after mile
If that’s what it takes till it’s gone…
Long long gone

Not Today
Not Today (Not Today)
Not that way
Feel the strain that I’m under
Yeah…
I still got the fire in my eyes
Come what may (Come what may)
Price I pay
Chains are dragging me under
Yeah…
Not Today
Not that way

Not Today
Not Today
Not Today
Not Today


10. SPEAKEASY

Knock knock knockin’
Oh I really wanna get in
Knock knock knockin’
Oh I really wanna get in

But it’s a secret thing…
Speakeasy

Sun is going down
Walk around the town
My buddy said he heard of this place…

When nobody’s around you can hear the sound
Man I wish that I was a face…

Knock knock knockin’
Oh I really wanna get in

And it’s so frustrating to hear the party rockin’
When you’re not there

Pocket full of money
Got myself a honey
And I really wanna go for a drink

Knock knock knockin’
Oh I really wanna get in

But it’s a secret thing…

Speakeasy
Speakeasy

Inside, everything’s alright
Groove into the zone like you’re Al Capone
Bootlegger, never had it better
Prohibition made them Kings
They got everything

Knock knock knockin’
Oh I really wanna get in

And it’s so frustrating to hear the party rockin’
When you’re not there

Pocket full of money
Got myself a honey
And I really wanna go for a drink
Knock knock knockin’
Oh I really wanna get in

But it’s a secret thing…

Speakeasy
Speakeasy
Speakeasy


11. GOD OF THE MOUTAIN

No room for doubt
No time for fear

Sky high praise the God of the Mountain
Sky high praise the God of the Mountain
Feel the heart of Austria pounding

Gonna make this mountain mine
You can see that I’m not faking
Got a need for speed
For the thrill of the piste’
Austria in celebration

I wanna hear you rock those bells
As I come flying, the crowd is shouting
With everything I am
Gonna make my stand

Sky high praise the God of the mountain
Sky high praise the God of the mountain
Feel the heart of Austria pounding

Shootin’ towards my destiny
The clock is on, the pressures mounting
I’m a mean machine
I’m gonna make you scream

Sky high praise the God of the mountain
Sky high praise the God of the mountain
Feel the heart of Austria pounding

Sky high praise the God of the Mountain
Sky high praise the God of the Mountain
Feel the heart of Austria pounding

Every second counts up here
No room for doubt
No time for fear

Sky high praise the God of the Mountain

From the starting gate to the finish line
I’m gonna make this mountain mine

Sky high praise the God of the Mountain
Sky high praise the God of the Mountain
Feel the heart of Austria pounding


12 JUST A RIDE

It’s just a ride

Yeah…
It’s just a ride

Life is all consciousness connected… Yeah

A funky kinda’ preacher
Said it’s just a ride
Been laughin’ with the teacher

It’s just a ride
It’s just a ride

Moving into the fourth dimension… Yeah

Challenging perceptions
Said it’s just a ride
Riffing with intentions… Yeah

Truth, love and laughter

Relentless…

Truth, love and laughter

Relentless…

It’s just a ride

Yeah…
It’s just a ride
It’s just a ride

He said it’s just a ride

It’s just a…


13. WANNA FEEL GOOD

I wanna feel good
I wanna feel good

Put your hands in the air if you wanna get high
Get your feet on the floor if you wanna get drunk
Put your hands in the air if you wanna feel no more pain
Gonna get down if you think you got the funk

‘Cause it’s party time
Drinkin’ with the boys
Gettin’ outta’ line
Makin’ lots a’ noise

Put your hands in your head if you feel a bit bad
Put your body in your bed if you start to feel sad
But if you put your hands in the air then I wanna get so high
Hands in the air and I’m gonna demand

It’s party time
Drinkin’ with the boys
Gettin’ outta’ line
Makin’ lots a’ noise

I wanna feel good

Do Do Do Ya?
Do Do Do Ya?
Do Do Do…

I wanna feel good

‘Cause it’s party time
Drinkin’ with the boys
Gettin’ outta’ line
Makin’ lots a’ noise

All the time…
Drinkin’ with the boys
Gettin’ outta’ line
Makin’ lots a’ noise

I wanna feel good

Do Do Do Ya?
Do Do Do Ya?
Do Do Do…
