I love thunder in July and staring at the sky As the lightning flashes 1 2 3 and 4 and 5 – Seconds = Miles Do you find this boring? Rain starts pouring Trees are roaring wind is howling ooooh oooh ooooh drink my tea - stare at the tree LA’s Way Too Sunny For ME! I love snowy winter days - you love fashion and ballets I Miss New York Gray’s Papaya If it doesn’t Close – Bowery Ballroom For some shows We’ll Grab a Slice From Joe’s Back In LA - It’s Sunny Every Day Not A Cloud In Sight - ooooh oooh ooooh Sun In My Eyes – No Fireflies I Cant Take It Anymore – With This SUNSHINE! I love LA Like anyone I love a sunny day But I miss the thunder and the rain Get me out of LA - Get Me Out of LA Back in LA The Skies Never Gray It’s Like They’re Chasing the Clouds Away Sun In My Eyes – No Fireflies I can’t Take It Anymore – With This SUNSHINE! I love LA Like anyone I love a sunny day But I miss the thunder and the rain Get Me Out of LA – Get Me Out of LA I love LA Like anyone I love a sunny day But I miss Just Walking In The Rain Get me out of La - Get Me Out of LA Get me out of LA - Ge me outta LA Get Me Out of LA Get This Sun Out of my FACE

It's better when we're together In any kind of weather. Don't matter if it's day or night I only wanna hold you tight and love you. Lately I don't deserve you. I know I haven't been myself and maybe I'm to young to know that all our foolish plans Are slowly dying - Ahhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhh If there's a place inside your broken heart for me And though it's hard for you Maybe someday you will understand There's a place inside my heart for you. As I lie here wide awake and think of you beside me in that empty space. This is the bed I made. And maybe it's just better this way. If there's a place inside your broken heart for me I know it's hard for you Maybe someday you will understand If there's a place inside your broken heart for me That's where I wanna be. Maybe someday you will understand There's a place inside heart for you.

Do you have the blue kazoo cause I would love to play with you We can share the microphone - Better two than me alone You sing the high part and I’ll sing the low We can pretend that were playing a show And 200 people are swayin’ along Can you play the tambourine? On 2 and 4 not 1 and 3 And since were having so much fun We should add the bass and drums You sing the high part and I’ll sing the low We can pretend that were playing a show And 10,00 people are singin’ along I might be flat you might be sharp But I don’t care - cause we got heart Before this song is done Sing with me cause 2 is better than 1 You can play the xylophone or a toy piano with a crazy tone Yeah we can share the microphone - better 2 than me alone You sing the high part and I’ll sing the low We can pretend that were playing a show And I’ll catch your eye but you already know I might be flat you might be sharp But I don’t care - cause we got heart Before this song is done Sing with me cause 2 is better I love it when we sing together Sing with me cause 2 is better than 1

Do you ever wonder what conspiracies are real? Do aliens exist - do they love and touch and feel? Do you trust the government to always tell the truth? In a haze of social media the rich control the youth Do you believe in heaven and hell? And if I die will I be saved? Is there really something more beyond the grave? Is it really true - there’s an angel watching over you? What if 911 wasn’t everything they say? And the clouds you thought were real are just chemtrails being sprayed Do you still believe we put a man up on the moon? And Kennedy was shot by a solo crazy loon. Do you believe in heaven and hell? And when I die will I be saved? Will my bones lay peacefully in my grave? But if the saying’s true – the devil always gets his due. Were just a hundred million light years from the truth I miss having all the answers, the innocence of youth Up in the stratosphere the sky is always blue And gravity’s the only thing keeping me from you Fire up the rocket ship I’ll save a space for you It’s just a hundred million light years to the truth

Lord can you help me I’m tryin’ to pray We don’t talk that much I don’t know what to say But I’m down on my knees in desperate unease Lord won’t you help me I’m out of my depth The bottle is drunk and I’m empty again The room is spinning the liquor is winning Lord I don’t know what to do so I’m callin’ on you Help me I have lost all control. lord save my soul And I’ll be good tomorrow. Well the day’s about done feels good to be numb As the radio plays an old Paul Williams Song I’m sick and I’m tired - sad and unwired. Oh Lord please forgive me the things that I’ve done The battles hard fought that were not usually won I regret all the lyin’ ..her cryin’ ...the damage I done Lord I don’t know what to do so I’m callin’ on you Help me I have lost all control lord save my soul And I’ll be good tomorrow Lord I just need to break free – from this misery Help me Ease my worry and woe lord save my soul And I’ll be good tomorrow. I’ll do better tomorrow. I’ll do what I can tomorrow. I’ll try my best You know that goes
