How Many Times
How many years keep on slipping away
And it seems that your life doesnt matter, you never had a chance
How many ways is a love torn apart
And you look to your heart for some answers, dont let it slip away
Cant blame myself anymore, Ive been beaten and accused before
Well I took some bad advice, and I paid too high a price
I could sell my soul, you know I wouldnt think twice
Chorus:
How many times must a man fall down, I said whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh
How many dreams have to fall to the ground
It goes on an on an on an on an on, yeah
How many times do you look for some sign
That theres hope, and your life has some meaning, almost every day, hey, hey
Maybe I was born to wander, I got no high hopes any longer
So tell me my friend, just where does it end
Is nothin ever gonna free me from this hell Im livin in
Chorus
(instrumental break)
Cant blame myself anymore, Ive been beaten and accused before
So tell me my friend, just where does it end
Im sick and tired of livin in a rat race that no one ever wins

Fall On Me
Theres a problem, feathers iron
Bargain buildings, weights and pullies
Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air
Buy the sky and sell the sky and tell the sky and tell the sky
Dont fall on me (what is it up in the air for) (its gonna fall)
Fall on me (if its there for long) (its gonna fall)
Fall on me (its over its over me) (its gonna fall)
Theres the progress we have found (when the rain)
A way to talk around the problem (when the children reign)
Building towered foresight (keep your conscience in the dark)
Isnt anything at all (the statues in the park)
Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky
(repeat chorus)
Dont fall on me
Well I could keep it above
But then it wouldnt be sky anymore
So if I send it to you youve got to promise to keep it whole
Buy the sky and sell the sky and lift your arms up to the sky
And ask the sky and ask the sky

Self-centered
I got it stuck in a bind
I dont even know why
It sucks to even try
But I wont try anymore
She took the afternoon train
To find a different plane
But life down the drain
Better than being ignored
[pre chorus:]
I think Im taking a vacation now
Im on holiday and maybe I wont rest
Until Ive thrown it all away
Yeah Ive got it down
[chorus:]
Im gonna feel sorry for myself
I want to blame it on everyone else
I want to be self centered
And make everybody feel sorry for me
She sent a postcard again
She said she had a new friend
I hope that by the end
He throws her heart to the floor
She says hes really ok
I hope he ends up gay
Its not a nice thing to say
But I dont care anymore
[bridge:]
My leg fell asleep
Cause you laid on it
Theres no reason to dwell on it
Its just not worth it
Remember a year ago
When we played in the show
Now get outta my head

Number One Man
Number one man
Well, five long years and then there it go
He met his friends, and took that bonding road
Never knew where the road would end up, no, no
Sometimes it feels like hell to me, yea
I gotta keep it together cuz its good for me
(chorus)
Sometimes you make me laugh
Sometimes you can make me cry
But I know that I love you
Your a very good friend of mine
Even though we may have fights
We know its a part of life
Wouldnt trade it for nothin
Just trust in me, youll always be
My number one man, yea
I have no questions, so there is no answers, uh-uh
Whats to be, is meant to be, oh yes it is
But it feels like treason, every time I reason
Found me parting ways with you
So tell me, whats a girl to do
I guess Im stuck with you, yea
(chorus)
The part of life remains the same
That you made me see, just what it means to me
To have someone that you can count on
When things are right, and sometimes wrong
What a small price to pay
I bless the day you came my way
(chorus)

Blame
Blame
By: Jean Pullman
I am sick and tired of the blame being put on me
Even if I know there’s no possibility
That I stole this or I did that
I’m constantly beaten with a baseball bat
A bat of lies and extreme bad luck
CHORUS
Why do you always put the blame on me
Why don’t you ever believe my honesty
Why can’t I stop being afraid
Of always getting the blame
Now you’re going way too fucking far
You saying I’m lying about what’s in my heart
Why can’t you realize
That these tears are truth and not lies
I hope one day
I will stop always getting the blame
CHORUS
Why do you always put the blame on me
Why don’t you ever believe my honesty
Why can’t I stop being afraid
Of always getting the blame
Please, Pleas believe in what I say
Let this be the very first day
That you know I’m telling the truth
And then I can have some faith in you
Because I am sick and fucking tired of getting the blame.

Home Of The Brave
Everythings gonna be alright boys, help is on the way
Hold your head up high now, theres no need to cry now
Were not running anymore
Leave the politics behind boys, theyre not working anymore
Theres so much more at stake here, its make or break here
Havent we been here before - tell me what were waiting for
Chorus:
You gotta remember, you dont have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn, and say what you wanna say
You gotta remember, dont let em take away
The land we call the home of the brave
Who sings the song of the people, you dont hear it anymore
I heard it late last summer, to the beat of a different drummer
It never sounded quite like that before
So youre trying to shake this feeling, that troubles right outside the door
You lie awake each dark night, like a time bomb wound up too tight
A storm in waiting, just offshore - tell me what were waiting for

Fallen Angel
She stepped off the bus out into the city streets
Just a small town girl with her whole life
Packed in a suitcase by her feet
But somehow the lights didnt
Shine as bright as they did
On her mamas tv screen
And the work seemed harder
And the days seemed longer
Than she ever thought theyd be
But you know you got to stick to your guns
When it all comes down
Cause sometimes you cant choose
Its like heads they win
Tails youre gonna lose
Chorus:
Win big--mamas fallen angel
Lose big--livin out her lies
Wants it all--mamas fallen angel
Lose it all, rollin the dice of her life
Now she found herself in the fast lane livin day to day
Turned her back on her best friends, yeah
And let her family slip away
Just like a lost soul
Caught up in the hollywood scene
All the parties and the limousines
Such a good actress hiding all her pain
Trading her memories for fortune and fame
Just a step away from the edge of a fall
Caught between heaven and hell
Wheres the girl I knew a year ago
Chorus
Too much too soon
Or just a little too late
Cause when her ship came in
She wasnt there and it just wouldnt wait
Solo, chorus out

Somethings wrong with our eyes
Were seeing things in a different way
And God knows it aint his
It sure aint no surprise

Theres meltdown in the sky
If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister, youre a better man than i

Tell me what you think about our sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you
If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin
Even if it wasnt would you still come crawling
Back again - I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again & again
Tell me what you think about our situation
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you
If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin
Even if it wasnt would you still come crawling
Back again - I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again
Something right with the world today
And everybody knows its wrong
But we can tell em no
Or we could let it go
But I would rather be a hanging on

Fall On Me (Part 1)
There's a problem feathers iron
Bargain buildings weights and pulleys
Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air
Buy the sky and sell the sky and tell the sky and tell the sky
Don't fall on me (What is it up in the air for) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (It's over it's over me) (It's gonna fall)
There's the progress we have found (when the rain)
A way to talk around the problem (when the children reign)
Building towered foresight (keep your conscience in the dark)
isn't anything at all (melt the statues in the park)
Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky
(repeat chorus)
Don't fall on me
Well I could keep it above
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore
So if I send it to you you've got to promise to keep it whole
Buy the sky and sell the sky and lift your arms up to the sky
And ask the sky and ask the sky

Borrowed Time
Written by dennis deyoung and tommy shaw

Yeah yeah!
Dont look now, but here come the eightees!
I was so cool back in sixty-five
I had it made cause I understood what to do to survive
I had my car, and I made the scene
Didnt give a damn about no gasoline
They can go to hell
My friend we never thought about the world
And its realities
The promised land was ours
We were the great society
Im so confused by the things I read, I need the truth
But the truth is, I dont know who to believe
The left say yes, and the right says no
Im in between and the more I learn
Well, the less that I know
I got to make a show
Livin high, living fine
Livin high on borrowed time
Yes! no!
Yes! no!
No! yes!
No! yes!
Faith be with me now
Im just a dreamer in a dreamland
Faith be with me now
Im just a dreamer in a dreamland

Livin high
Livin fine (you know Im livin fine)
Livin high (yes Im livin high)
On borrowed time (on borrowed time)
Livin high (whoohoo!)
Livin fine (ahhh!)
Livin high
On lake shore drive (midnight ride)
Livin high (were livin high)
On leslie lane (lets go back and play it again!)
Livin high (were livin high)
On red bud trail (on red bud, red bud trail!)
Livin high
On central drive (hes on central drive!)
Livin high (were livin, livin high)
On prestwick drive (catch me on prestwick drive!...)
Livin high (...gettin in and drivin my mercedes...)
Livin fine (...up and down and up and down -- sh*t! I dont....)

To ever stand alone in the dark
Not knowing how Im gonna carry on
But sure I never will surrender
I know exactly who I am
And that theres a purpose and a plan

So I will stand with my head held high
Even though Im against the wind
And I know I will survive
It is my destiny
With my held high
I wont fall down
With my head held high
I wont surrender

Its given me the power
To find my way through the worst of times
Turn them into my finest hour
And with this strength I will move on
No matter how nard I wont fall down

In my life I make my own choices
Paid the prices with my share of losses
But each time I only get stronger
And I know Ive got the power inside

New Way To Love
Maybe we dont need to share the same roof, maybe
If you really love me, you dont need me round for proof, baby
If I go to the desert for some clean dry air
We could have ourselves a long distance love affair
Well take it anywhere, a nationwide pair
Well if your living together isnt working out
Id rather live in nebraska, than keep livin here in doubt
Ill take an alternate route, Ill find a new way
There are places to go that weve never dreamed of
Were gonna find a new way to love
Chorus:
Were gonna find a new way to love, find out what satisfies us
The good old ways just aint good enough
Were gonna find a new way to love
Maybe we could learn to like the same things, maybe
Discover the joy that togetherness brings, baby
We could share our records, we could see the same plays
Even plan our vacations for the very same days
Well put our lives in phase, livin in a happiness haze
Well it may not be easy, but then nothin else was
Ask a mountain climber why he does what he does
Hell tell you just because, I need to find a new way
Hey now weve got a mountain of our own to rise above
Were gonna find a new way to love
Chorus
(solo)
Maybe we dont need to see eye to eye, maybe
We dont need to vote for the very same guy, baby
You can move to the left whenever I keep right
Im a big bad wolf, you can be snow white

Im down here beggin for more, you tell me youve had enough
We gotta find a new way to love

Whos to bless, and whos to blame

Keep your hands above the table
And your back against the wall
Toss your chips in with your chances, boy
