But you won’t even have to leave your house to go
All my friends/Hello and welcome
Once again/Hello and welcome
Here tonight/So glad you made it out to the show
All my friends/Hello and welcome

We’re Partner, we’re not fooling around!
Oh thank you!

Rock Is My Rock
02:18
|

|
Well thanks to Rock I’ve got a reason to live
And there’s so much more that Rock can give
Rock is my purpose, Rock is my dream
But Rock’s not as simple as it may seem
‘Cause you gotta be honest all of the time
So it’s gotta be true and also has to rhyme
But I don’t care if it’s a long way to the top
I’m gonna get there ‘cause Rock is my Rock
Rock is my Rock x3
That guy we met in Cleveland and his brother too
Rock is their rock, I bet they’d tell you
Josée’s dad and Simone TB/ Rock is their Rock as you can see
Rock is my Rock x3
I listen to Rock and I stay inside/It’s my warm safe place where I hide
So when I am 50 and I’m 52/I hope I’m still rocking, rocking with you
Rock is my Rock x3

The Pit
03:19
|

|
There’s a hole in my soul that nothing can ever fill/When you see the world through hungry eyes it’s hard to get a thrill/And I fear there’s no end to my desire/The flames are getting higher
Well I guess that’s it gonna throw it in the pit now
There’s pain in my brain and I wish it would go away/So I throw things into the Pit/Yes I throw them in all day/I do it but I just don’t feel better/Maybe I never will
Well I guess that’s it gonna throw it in the Pit

Honey
03:16
|

|
A golden silhouette bears the familiar sight
of six silver strings that shimmer in the light
Simply plug it in you’re ready for the job
Just turn it up to 10 on all four knobs
This guitar sounds like honey going down
Take it downtown, Play it all around
Cause this guitar sounds like honey going down
Take it downtown, play it all around
(Play it around the world)
Well if you want the story keep listening to me
I’ll tell you how this whole thing really came to be
You know it’s funny that you ask cause it’s a funny thing
One day a guitar the postman he did bring
So I grabbed it from the porch and I opened the case
There I found a note, a note my dad wrote
And a certain turn of phrase I’d never heard before
I furrowed my brow and shut the front door
This guitar sounds like honey going down
Take it downtown, Play it all around
Cause this guitar sounds like honey going down
Take it downtown, play it all around
People on the bus and people on the train
People at the airport, people on the plane
Once they see the case they want me to explain
Is that what I think it is? And I say yes it’s definitely that and as a matter of fact I’ll tell you!
This guitar sounds like honey going down
Take it downtown, Play it all around
Cause this guitar sounds like honey going down
Take it downtown, play it all around

Big Gay Hands
03:09
|
|||
|
Well it was Friday night and you know that means
We were going downtown/We were checking out the scene
And we walked right past a tavern decorated with a sign
Glowing blue and it said open so we thought we’d step inside
You were standing in the corner when I first laid eyes on you
With a couple old guys you were shooting some pool
And I couldn’t help but notice how you held that cue
Made me wonder what else you know how to do
Cause you’re a hottie
So won’t you take those big gay hands and
put em on my body
You’re a hottie
So won’t you take those big gay hands and
Well let me tell you my side of things!
Me and Luce were cutting loose, we were the stars of the floor
Next thing I know I turn around and she wasn’t where she was before
That’s when the corner caught my eye and in an old Budweiser mirror
I saw her talking to someone saying some stuff I couldn’t hear
You’re a hottie
So won’t you take those big gay hands and put ‘em on my body
You’re a hottie
So won’t you take those big gay hands and x3
You make a tall can look like it’s regular size
And I keep starin’ at you baby
cause I can’t believe my eyes
You’re a hottie
So won’t you take those big gay hands and put ‘em on my body
You’re a hottie
So won’t you take those big gay hands and x3

Pic from days gone by/pixelated eye
Safe but at what cost/ how much must be lost?
Good place to hide at the time
It was a good place to hide at the time
Eyeliner all over my eyes
It was a good place to hide at the time, at the time
Something shields me still/there’s no rest until
Time rips off the veil/truth it must prevail
In dark halls I am walking a tour of memory
I feel the silence talking
Its whispers echoing and sneaking up behind me
As I quicken my pace the walls dissolve around me, time erased
Good place to hide at the time
It was a good place to hide at the time
Eyeliner all over my eyes
It was a good place to hide at the time, at the time

Three TVs in a diner with different channels on
Two are giving me a fright, one’s turning me on
A world that’s up in flames, people playing games
More than any mind was meant to take
And how do we make it through, how do we survive?
Camping on the beach staring at a tree wondering how we all came to be
And how do we make it through, how do we survive?
When at the heart of each day lies a brand new scary sweet surprise
Well you better get used to roller coasters, Life is one
And if you think it’s the end, well it’s only begun/Life is one
I could never tell you just what it’s all about
Cause we’ve all gotta make friends with the shadow of doubt
But I come from a star a Million times the size of Mars/ It sounds far out yeah I know
And as our particles clash and they collide
I wonder if the one who did decide knew it’d be a wild ride
Well you better get used to roller coasters, Life is one
And if you think it’s the end, well it’s only begun/Life is one

Couldn't Forget
02:26
|
|||
|
Well I couldn’t remember my postal code if I tried
And I couldn’t remember when trash day is if I tried
And I couldn’t remember if I cancelled Amazon Prime
But I couldn’t forget how to make love to you if I tried
Well I couldn’t remember what my password is if I tried
If I get it wrong once more I will be denied
Although many things in life may pass me by
I couldn’t forget how to make love to you if I tried
I couldn’t forget how to make love to you if I tried
If I said I could well that would be a lie, cause
I couldn’t forget how to make love to you if I tried

Here I Am World
02:43
|
|||
|
Well Life is what you make it/and even when you make it you’re still just making it up
Thought by now I’d have some better answers/Cause by now I thought that I’d be grown up but I guess I’m not
There never comes a day when everything is perfect yeah okay/
But there’s still a question left in the back of my mind
Each day of life is a precious gift but I’m not sure what to do with it
Here I am world, what do you want from me?
Side to side I sway as I make my way along the tightrope that is my life
Afraid to fall, to lose it all, or waiting for disaster to strike
That’s why you gotta grab each little scrap of joy/Like a magpie would a shiny toy
Bring it back to your nest/Hope for the best
Each day of life is a precious gift but I’m not sure what to do with it
Here I am world, what do you want from me? x2
I really wanna know, what could the answer be?
Here I am world, what do you want from me?

Crocodiles
02:48
|

Crocodiles swimming around you outside/Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
We caught a glimpse of an elusive light/In a rush to grab hold we fell into the night
We got lost out in the storm where it was dark and cold
We were seeking shelter, shelter from the storm
By the grace of Rock n Roll our search was not in vain
When before our widened eyes the light appeared again
Yeah!
