1. FLY BY NIGHT

A certain measure of innocence
Willing to appear naive
A certain degree of imagination
A measure of make-believe

A certain degree of surrender
To the forces of light and heat
A shot of satisfaction
In a willingness to risk defeat

Celebrate the moment
As it turns into one more
Another chance at victory
Another chance to score

The measure of the moment
In a difference of degree
Just one little victory
A spirit breaking free
One little victory
The greatest act can be
One little victory

A certain measure of righteousness
A certain amount of force
A certain degree of determination
Daring on a different course

A certain amount of resistance
To the forces of the light and love
A certain measure of tolerance
A willingness to rise above


2. BEST I CAN

I've got a livin' that's rough, a future that's tough
You know what i mean
Blankers and boasters, all the bluffers and posers
I'm not into that scene

You can tell me that i got no class
Look around, you'll see who's laughin' last
Don't give me speeches 'cause they're oh so droll
Leave me alone, let me rock and roll

Got an itchin' to rock, a hate for small talk
I'm funny that way
Got my sights on the stars, won't get that far
But i'll try anyway
I just like to please, don't like to tease
I'm easy like that
Don't like long rests, i must confess
I'm an impatient cat

I do the best that i can
I'm just what i am
I do the best i can
Well, i know what i am

Rock and roll-in's a scream, makin' millions my dream
Well, i do that a lot
I'll just give it a try, won't let good times pass me by
They're all i've got
