*****

I've been drifting on the sea of heartbreak
tryin' to get myself ashore
for so long - for so long
listenin' to the strangest stories
wondering where it all went wrong
for so long - for so long
*

and the secrets that we shared
the mountains that we moved
caught like a wildfire out of control
'til there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
*

our life together - is so precious together
we have grown - we have grown

it's time to spread our wings and fly
don't let another day go by
my love
it'll be just like starting over
*

there's a Party goin' on right here
a celebration to last throughout the years
so bring your good times - and your laughter too
we gonna celebrate your party with you
*

don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
i'm trying not to lose my head
uh huh ha ha ha ha ha
it's like a jungle sometimes
it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
*

day after day it reappears
night after night my heartbeat
shows the fear
ghosts appear and fade away
*

stuck on you
i've got this feeling down deep in my soul
that I just can't lose
guess I'm on my way
needed a friend
and the way I feel now I guess I'll be with you 'til the end
*

don't make me feel any colder
time is like a clock in my heart
but you and me
we know we've got
nothing but time
*

as I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
pick up the pieces
*

o' beautiful, for spacious skies
but now those skies are threatening
they're beating plowshares into swords
for this tired old man that we elected king
armchair warriors often fail
and we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
the lawyers clean up small details
since daddy had to lie
*

ain't got no place to lay your head,
somebody came and took your bed
don't worry - be happy
the landlord say your rent is late,
he may have to litigate
don't worry - be happy
*

maybe together we can get somewhere
any place is better
startin' from zero got nothin' to lose
maybe we'll make somethin'
me myself I've got nothin' to prove
*

sample a look back - you look and find
nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check
don't worry - be happy
was a # 1 jam
damn if I say it you can slap me right here
