Banjo Boy

I want to be a rock star and travel really far and buy me a big expensive car.
And make lots of money and find me a honey
And live in a nice big house where it's sunny
With a pool and I'll be cool
I'll always have a gig 'cause I'll be big
I'll have parties and friends and places to go
The only problem is
I play the banjo

I'm a post hee-haw mover
A funkadelic punk rock groover
A cross between Bela Fleck and Eddie Veddar but better
I'll win a Grammy for the way I pick
I'll be an instrumental monster with tons of new licks
And all the babes will love me, sell out shows
The only problem is
I play the banjo

2 x     I play the banjo, play the banjo
Play the banjo, I play the banjo

Hear me boys, hear my rhyme
I'm Picking on the banjo all the time
Hear me boys, hear my song
Picking on the banjo all day long
I say pick it

I'll have a leer jet and a limousine
And everywhere I go my fans will scream
"Hey banjo boy we love you
I wish that we could all play the banjo too"
And you'll see me on the TV talk show
With Dave and Conan and Jay Leno
The only problem is
I play the banjo

2 x     I play the banjo, play the banjo
Play the banjo, I play the banjo

Even Superman:

When he saw her face, he thought that nothing could go wrong
Then he saw here smile, he used to be so very strong
'Cause even x-ray eyes could not realize
That everybody loves and everybody falls
And everybody, everybody feels this way

'Cause even Superman has kryptonite
And though he tries with all his might
Even Superman falls to his knees
Begging please, please, please, please
Begging please, please, please, please

Now Lois Lane feels safe because he's flying up above
But would he save the world and never hold his one true love
Then she had a dream, woke up with a scream
Saying everybody hurts and everybody falls and everybody, everybody feels this way

'Cause even Superman has kryptonite
And though he tries with all his might
Even Superman falls to his knees
Begging please, please, please, please
Begging please, please, please, please

When Lex Luthor saw that this weakness made him strong
The diabolic plan was in effect before too long
'Cause even giants fall, and every dog eventually has his day
And Achilles has a heel and even bones of steel can break
And even Superman, even Superman, even Superman, even Superman

Even Superman has kryptonite
And though he tries with all his might
Even Superman falls to his knees
Begging please, please, please, please
Begging please, please, please, please
Begging please, please, please, please

Dream Big

When you cry be sure to dry your eyes
'Cause better days are sure to come
And when you smile be sure to smile wide
Don't let them know that they have won
And when you walk, walk with pride
Don't show the hurt inside
Because the pain will soon be gone

And when you dream, dream big
As big as the ocean blue
'Cause when you dream it might come true
When you dream, dream big

When you laugh be sure to laugh out loud
'Cause it will carry all your cares away
And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself
And it'll help you feel okay
And when you pray, pray for strength
To help you carry on
When the troubles come your way

And when you dream, dream big
As big as the ocean blue
'Cause when you dream it might come true
When you dream, dream big

When you laugh be sure to laugh out loud
'Cause it will carry all your cares away
And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself
And it'll help you feel okay
And when you pray, pray for strength
To help you carry on
When the troubles come your way

And when you dream, dream big
As big as the ocean blue
'Cause when you dream it might come true
When you dream, dream big

I say what the hey I've got bills to pay
I work all day I got no time to play
And what's more, knocking on my door
Is the tax collector and I'm poor

See there's too many bills too many pills
Too many features and too many frills
No money, too many things to buy
Too many ways to split the pie

I've got to simplify
Simplify my life
I've got to simplify
Simplify

I've got to smell the flowers enjoy the ride
I've got to open up my eyes and see what's outside
All the things I miss each day
'Cause I'm driving in the fast lane
And it's making me insane

And I don't want to be that way
I want to be free today
From responsibility that brings excess duress
I've got to enjoy more and stress less

I've got to simplify
Simplify my life
I've got to simplify
Simplify

That's great, I'm late
I'm always in a hurry for a meeting in the state
Of confusion, a delusion
An illusion I've taken much too far
I'm always living in the future or the past
But time flies too fast I've got to make it last
So enjoy, relax, chill out
Just give it a try

I've got to simplify
Simplify my life
I've got to simplify
Simplify

Would you love me:

I should've known she wouldn't listen
I should've known she'd pass me by
I should've known better than to listen to the lullaby
'Cause, It's a sad, sad song I hear
And a long, long road I fear without you, without you

Would you love me
Always trust me
Would you love me
If it won't hurt you at all
If it won't hurt you at all

I should've known she'd leave me standing
I should've known she wouldn't go
I should've known better than to turn on the television show
'Cause every time I look I see
The wrong episode is me without you, without you

Would you love me
Always trust me
Would you love me
If it won't hurt you at all
If it won't hurt you at all

So please be careful my heart
Right from the start
'Cause it's not that easy coming down
Before it all falls apart
Would it be so plain to see

Would you love me
Always trust me
Would you love me
If it won't hurt you at all
If it won't hurt you at all

Ambush [Instrumental]

New emotion

Would you love me if I
Told you that I could not
Hold you closer tonight
To my heart it just might
Break me, make me fall down
Trip me up and hit ground
And I don't want to be there
And I don't want to be but I feel

A new emotion
A deep devotion
And a notion
That I will find you
Alright
Tonight
And I might
Fall again

Would you stay if you knew
That I would only leave you
Sad enough and lonely
And I'd think of you only
In my dreams we would walk
And in my dreams we would talk
Hand in hand together
Hand in hand and I feel

A new emotion
A deep devotion
And a notion
That I will find you
Alright
Tonight
And I might
Fall again

I don't want to see the news
I don't want to feel the rain
Falling on my face again
I don't want to see your face
On a billboard store
Don't want to grow old in this place no more

Would you think me crazy
Would you laugh forever
And in my arms you would be
And in your eyes I could see
All the stars up at night
And I am hoping you might
I swear I've seen your eyes before
I swear I've seen your eyes
And I feel

A new emotion
A deep devotion
And a notion
That I will find you
Alright
Tonight
And I might
Fall again

rain falls down:

I knew down deep inside that something wasn't right
Enough to grip my heart and wake me in the night
But the weather looked so good in the morning
That I failed to heed the flash flood warning
And the rain falls down and I'm standing here with no umbrella again
And the rain falls down and I'm standing here with no umbrella
The rain falls down, the rain falls down
The first flash blinded me and caught me by surprise
Until the repercussion hit and opened up my eyes
Sometimes lightning strikes without rhyme or reason
And when it rains it pours in monsoon season
And the rain falls down and I'm standing here with no umbrella again
And the rain falls down and I'm standing here with no umbrella again
The rain falls down, the rain falls down
Sometimes the knife runs deeper than the blade
Sometimes the bed's still messy when it's made
When Cinderella found the writer had appended
What did she do when the fairy tale had ended
And the rain falls down and I'm standing here with no umbrella again
And the rain falls down and I'm standing here with no umbrella
The rain falls down, the rain falls down

Never Give up:

Some people think me ugly, some people think me cute
Some people think me stupid, others astute
But people gonna do what they're gonna do
You got to listen to your heart and to your self be true
'Cause sometimes life just slaps you in the face and knocks your brains all over the place
And leaves you standing there wondering why, sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry
And all the things you thought were right are wrong
And all the friends you thought were true they are now gone
  I say never give up
Never give in
Never fall down if you don't plan to get right back up again
I said now never give up
Never give in
Never fall down if you don't plan to get right back up again
I want to shine bright like a light on the top of the hill
I never want to feel like I'm the one who's underdressed, the one who's oppressed
I only want to make it like the best of the best
I want to rise to the top, don't ever want to stop
Don't hold me underwater 'til my brain cells pop
I say never give up
Never give in
Never fall down if you don't plan to get right back up again
I said now never give up
Never give in
Never fall down if you don't plan to get right back up again
Every time I fall I feel that I must fly
Above the world you know I'll try it everyday
I won't be underestimated no way
Every time I fall I feel that I must rise above adversity surprise
That's right It's me and I'm hear to fight just like Bruce Lee
I say never give up
Never give in
Never fall down if you don't plan to get right back up again
I said now never give up
Never give in
Never fall down if you don't plan to get right back up again
Never give up
Never give in
Never fall down if you don't plan to get right back up again
I said now never give up
Never give in
Never fall down if you don't plan to get right back up again

Oh how I miss you:

Oh how I miss you
Wish I could kiss you
Hug you hold you
It would be bliss to
Look in your eyes see
They mesmerize me
And leave me with nothing to fear
When I see you're beside me, the whole world disappears
I want to be your one and only, I want to share your hopes and fears
And cares and laughs and all your dreams and everything in between
If you would let me be the one
Oh how I miss you
Wish I could kiss you
Hug you hold you
It would be bliss to
Look in your eyes see
They mesmerize me
And leave me with nothing to fear
Well I knew when I saw you that we would always be
And it's true that I love you with everything you hear and see
and feel and know how could you leave, I'm not a fool but I believe
That fairytales happen sometimes
Oh how I miss you
Wish I could kiss you
Hug you hold you
It would be bliss to
Look in your eyes see
They mesmerize me
And leave me with nothing to fear, with nothing to fear
Hey Hey Hey
I want to know what makes your tock tick
I want to know what makes your clock click
All them gears going round and round inside your head don't make a sound
I want to know what makes your boat row
What makes your engine go, go, go, go, go, go, go
That's the thing I want to know
Please don't say hey go away
Come again some other day, if I may
in your arms I'd rather stay
hey hey hey
hey hey hey
I want to know what cloud you're on
What fires your neuron
It's a sign your hand in mine when it sends chills right up my spine
I want to know what makes your heart thump
Going bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump
That's the thing that makes me want to jump
Please don't say hey go away
Come again some other day, if I may
in your arms I'd rather stay
hey hey hey
hey hey hey
Corn Dogs
When I was a boy I walked into this store I think they call it the 7 Eleven
I saw something underneath the glass, it looked just like manna straight from heaven
I asked the clerk behind the counter what was in them and he said it's just one of life's little mysteries
But I knew my love for corn dogs was surely destiny
Corn dogs, corn dogs, they are so good to me
Corn dogs, corn dogs, they are so good to me
Good when they're hot, good when they're cold
Good when they're fresh,   good when they're old
Corn dogs, corn dogs, they are so good to me
I had a date with my girlfriend but I was feeling just a little bit down on my luck
But then I heard they were selling corn dogs down on the corner store three for a buck

Then the realization came that this was just a test for me to see
That if my girl don't like corn dogs, she ain't the girl for me
Corn dogs, corn dogs, they are so good to me
Corn dogs, corn dogs, they are so good to me
Good when they're hot, good when they're cold
Good when they're fresh,   good when they're old
Corn dogs, corn dogs, they are so good to me

You can eat corn dogs for breakfast, you can eat corn dogs for lunch
You can even eat corn dogs for dinner, you can even eat corn dogs for brunch
I say no meal is complete without a helping heaping of corn dogs sitting there on your plate
And you might die of a heart attack but they still taste real great

Corn dogs, corn dogs, they are so good to me
Corn dogs, corn dogs, they are so good to me
Good when they're hot, good when they're cold
Good when they're fresh,   good when they're old
Corn dogs, corn dogs, they are so good to me
