#1 DEATH FOR LIFE
Jack awoke one summer day, knew that it was time to pay, his time was going faster growing nearer
He washed his face and then his hands, dirtied up some pots and pans, and took one long look into the mirror
Out the door and in his car, he didn’t seem to get to far, when suddenly he pulled off of the highway
Jack got out and ran and ran, heading for a beach of sand, he screamed I think I’m gonna do this my way
Oh no, no no, oh no no no no no no, no no no no, no no no no no no
He watched the birds and butterflies, looked into the deep blue skies, knowing that he’d soon meet with fate
Why it had to come so soon, on that early month of June, he prayed his destiny would come late
Flashes flashes they rolled by, ten for every wink of eye, remembering thoughts of yesterday
Flowers he would never smell, stories he could never tell, he found his hands were turning cold as clay
Oh no, no no, oh no no no no no no, no no no no, no no no no no no
Among the waves a cry for help, a little boy part of himself, from there his heart beating faster
The force that pulled him there that day, not for sure to many say, prevented a little boys disaster
On that beach marked on Jacks grave, the story of the boy he saved, the legend lives on until this day
How it happened no one knows, but once a year they plant a rose, that grows out there from where Jack lay
Oh no, no no, oh no no no no no no, no no no no, no no no no no no

#2 TRAIN #413
I couldn’t tell, if the bells were getting louder, the song they played I finally recognized
I only know that Hell is getting hotter, the devils getting smarter all the time
And it would be nice, to walk upon the water and talk again with angels on my side
I just come back to show you, all my words are golden
So have no doubts before me, I’m alive
I was sitting at the station waiting for another train
Encephalitis inflammation was a creeping in my brain
And the voices in my head said hey man hold on just a little bit longer
Cause there is no turning back, just an invisible track
A silhouette of a light with in a canvas of black
What a hell of a time to find I really never could have been wronger
It doesn’t matter where you come from it doesn’t matter where you’ve been
It only matters where you are going and that you get there in the end
Time is just a matter of time it’s what’s a matter with reason
Eventually you will find that life exist in your mind
An eye for an eye will only make the world blind
It’s the one’s that you love you really ought to try and focus on pleasing
The voice said Son before you go there’s one more thing that you should know
Always practice control and never lose it
You see everyone’s a little bit crazy, just beware of the one’s who have a paper to prove it
Lyrics by: Donny Eozzo/A. Cooper Newest Version © 2015
#3 JUST A LITTLE BIT CRAZY
Sit right back and you will hear a tale ,It’s not about a ship a trip a boy or a whale, not at all to do with the sky turning blue, on a cold winter’s day, it’s okay cause every now and then there is an urge to continue, always comes down to the things you didn’t know you had in you, it’s never to late to re-evaluate, or justify another addiction
And every now and then it’s just a little bit crazy with my life spinning out of control, there’s nothing you can ever say or do that would phase me, you can bury me six feet in a hole
Here we go, now take the lions share and the roar that you hear, when someone let the cat out the bag truth or dare, throw a coin make a wish break a plate clean a dish, and nothing else really matters chit chit chatter had a nickel or a dime for every solve I couldn’t crime, a little bit dyslexic with a shot of salt and lime, I like my beer super cold, I like my wine to be old, I like the way your looking at me right now oh yeah
And every now and then it’s just a little bit crazy with my life spinning out of control, there’s nothing you can ever say or do that would phase me, you can bury me six feet in a hole
I’m still alive I’m singing Angels and Demons, all the things you believe in, you better stare a little harder looks can be so deceiving, there is no dial tone it’s no fault but your own and still will never keep you from calling out my namespread your shovel of dirt on my face it won’t hurt, please try to cover up the stains on my favorite shirt, it’s so easy to say what may come or what may, something wicked from this way comes
And every now and then it’s just a little bit crazy with my life spinning out of control, there’s nothing you can ever say or do that would phase me, you can bury me six feet in a hole
Whoa the lights are turning green we can go, only so much in this world one should know
(Repeat first two verses, chorus and bridge)
Oh my darling Clementine, don’t step on that porcupine, you will shake you will quiver all you want but don’t touch mine, stand up tall, stand up straight, stand back cause your out of line, what’s that got to do with tequila, only a bold few ever really got to know you, the world is full of liars that my friend will always hold true, it’s okay, it doesn’t matter anyway, let’s all go out and do some more dishes
And every now and then it’s just a little bit crazy with my life spinning out of control, there’s nothing you can ever say or do that would phase me, you can bury me six feet in a hole
Cause I’m crazy, just a little bit crazy, I’m Crazy, crazy…………So Watch Out!

#4 BURN IT DOWN
It’s a long way down to the bottom of the ocean, it’s a long way up to the top of the sky
It’s a long, long way until tomorrow
It never comes so they don’t ask me why, don’t ask me why……cause I don’t know………2 3 4
Hey man wheres the love, when all I see is push and shove each passing day
I crack a smile but all the while I’m thinking you best stay the hell out of my way
I just want to, I just want to, I just want to burn it to the ground
I just want to, I just want to, I just want to burn it, burn it down
All done with smoke and mirrors yes the hand is quicker then the eye
You take a stand up to the man you might well plan to sit and kiss your ass goodbye…….good bye
I just want to, I just want to, I just want to burn it to the ground
I just want to, I just want to, I just want to burn it, burn it down
Listen closely to the words my friend I’m not the one you want to blame
It’s the smoke that kills before the fire but a dragons all you need to light the flame
Gather round and sing our song and don’t look down we must be strong enough to see
There's a fire breathing monster that’s been living deep inside, deep inside of me…….of me
I just want to, I just want to, I just want to burn it to the ground
I just want to, I just want to, I just want to burn it, burn it down
Listen closely to the words my friend I’m not the one you want to blame
It’s the smoke that kills before the fire but a dragons all we need to ignite the flame
Gather round and sing our song and don’t look down we must be strong enough to see
There's a fire breathing monster that’s been living deep inside of both you and me
We just want to, we just want to, we just want to burn it, burn it down
We just want to, we just want to, we just want to burn it, burn it down
Lyrics by: Donny Eozzo © 2015
One more night I got one more show, I just called you up just to let you know
The stars are shining brightly in the sky tonight, I cast a thousand shadows when I’m wrong I’m right
And all I want to say, I’m never gonna fall in love again, I can’t tell you why your never gonna see me cry
Believe me when I say, ain’t never gonna fall in love again
But I love you so, oh baby I think you know I’d be lost without you, so lost without you
And time and time, and then time again, I’m sitting by myself don’t need nobody else but then I just can’t win
There’s a cool breeze that’s blowing in the air tonight, I try to hide my feelings and keep them out of sight
And all I want to say, I’m never gonna fall in love again, I can’t tell you why your never gonna see me cry
Believe me when I say, ain’t never gonna fall in love again
But I love you so, oh baby I think you know I’d be lost without you, so lost without you
Mirror on the wall tell me what you see, you can’t run from something that was always meant to be
Mirror am I wrong is the answer up above, cause I’m never gonna fall I’m never gonna fall
I’m never gonna fall, never gonna fall in love oh no no no no no
All I want to say I’m never gonna fall in love again, please don’t ask me why your never gonna see me cry
Believe me when I say, ain’t never gonna fall in love again, but I love you so
Oh baby I think you know I’d be lost without you, so lost without you girl
And all I want to say, never gonna fall in love again, please don’t ask me why your never gonna see me cry
Believe me when I say ain’t never gonna fall in love again, but I love you so
Oh baby and now I know I’d be lost without you

#6 STATIONS OF THE HEART
There’s a time and there’s a place for everything to be
In my mind I saw your face initials carved into a tree
Chorus:
There’s a key, a possibility, never stop believing in the things that we can’t see
Before we let the world go breaking us apart, it’s only stations of the heart, it’s only stations of the heart
Look at the sky what do you see late at night when your alone
You and I can never be until we make this world our own
Chorus:
Momma told me long ago, Son there’s a reason for everything you know so never stop believing
I try so hard to block the pain but I guess it makes us who we are
I’ll be the Sun you’ll be the rain and there’s no telling just how far
Chorus:
Lyrics by: Donny Eozzo © 2015
#7 LOVELY LADIES
A song for all you lovely ladies, Lord knows I’ve had you in the past
Oh we’re just going to a movie but will this hundred dollars last
I say sweetheart may I please kiss you, she says okay but make it fast
You know I pick you up for dinner she said be there sharply at eight
But when I got there she was gonzo guess I was five minutes to late
I fell asleep outside her driveway to ask her for another date
Chorus:
You lovely ladies drive me crazy, of course that’s not that far to drive
You lovely ladies drive me crazy, you know your driving me out of my mind
You pretty women make me foolish I do things I don’t wanna do
I had to hawk my brand new guitar baby, you said that’s it or we are through
I got the time devote to you baby you already found someone new
Chorus:
I get so nervous I start sweating and my nose is runny, I hear you laughing but I don’t believe it’s really funny
I get so overwhelmed with super high anxiety, I try to fight it but of course it gets the best of me
There’s only one thing left for me to do and I’m just saying, get out the guitar and tell Chucky Moses just start playing
Chorus:
So cheers to all you lovely ladies, you have your cake and eat it to
Guess I’ll just settle for my big fives, cause that’s the best that I can do
But you know they will always make me happy, cause they’ll try twice as hard as you
Lyrics by: Donny Eozzo ©1981 verse added © 2016
CHORUS:
Yesterday when I was young the taste of love was sweet, that upon my tongue
Well I Ran so fast that time rewritten every line in yesterday
Make the world go away and take it off of my shoulder
And say the things you use to say and make the world go away
REPEAT CHORUS:
Just when I stop to think of all the things that could have been
Just when I found the answers all the questions changed again
Time can rob you of a fortune cause some wounds can never mend
Not until you say goodbye and you allow the pain to end
Cheers to you my friend I hope life serves you well, it’s really up to you I guess that time will only tell
It’s not that hard to give each and everyday, it’s not that hard to help the ones in need along the way
CHORUS:
Lyrics by: Donny Eozzo/Hank Cochran/Charles Aznavour
#9 THE JOURNEY
Was I walking was I driving, I really do not know, but a voice from out of nowhere told me I should go
Passing over the mountains I fell out of the sky, the ground was wet and cold but the air was hot and dry
The feelings that I felt unexplainable to me, my eyes were tightly closed and yet I still could see
Listening for noises I never once did hear, my mind was so confused for once I didn’t care
As you travel life’s a rocky road, some are paved in silver and some are paved in gold
Some are four lane highways, some just dirt and sand
Some roads lead to nowhere, some back where you began……yeah
Was I walking was I driving, I really do not know, but a voice from out of nowhere told me I should go
Suddenly my mind went blank but knowledge filled my brain and for the first time in my life I could not feel no pain
This here’s a song of how I lost my best friend, these are the lyrics I believe that he was trying to send
Life’s a sacred journey sometimes hard to comprehend, just never leave before your parents
For their hearts will never mend…….no
Lyrics by: Donny Eozzo © 2015
#10 “FRACTION”
SOMEBODY SHUT THE CURTAIN CAUSE IT HURTS MY EYES, THE SUN PEEKING IN THE WINDOW ASKING ME WHAT I DID LAST NIGHT, NOW THAT’S A DAM GOOD QUESTION IF I ONLY KNEW,AND THERES NO GOOD ANSWERS TO THIS MESS IVE BEEN GOING THROUGH, SO MANY DIFFERENT SYMPTOMS SO MANY DIFFERENT SIGNS, SO MANY MISSED DIAGNOSIS CAUSE ITS SO HARD TO DEFINE, JUST A LITTLE BIT CRAZY OR COMPLETELY INSANE, COULD IT BE JUST A LITTLE BLACK DOT THAT’S BEEN ETCHED INTO MY BRAIN
IT ONLY TAKES A FRACTION OF YOUR LIFE, IT ONLY TAKES A FRACTION OF YOUR LIFE
STARING OUT THE WINDOW FEELS LIKE TIME IS STANDING STILL, FEELING LIKE A TORTURED PRISONER BEING HELD AGAINST MY WILL, IM RUNNING DOWN THE CORRIDOR THIS CANT BE HAPPENING TO ME ,CAPTURED AT THE ELEVATOR HOSPITAL SECURITY (What a drag……as they dragged me back to my room)
IM STANDING IN THE DARKNESS THINK I FOUND A CLUE, I KNOW THEY ARE ALL OUT TO GET ME YOU CANT TELL ME ITS NOT TRUE, WHATS THIS THEY ARE TRYING TO FEED ME SAYIN MY LIFES BEEN ALL IN VAIN,YOU CAN STOMP OUT MY RESISTENCE BUT YOU CANT TAKE AWAY THIS PAIN
IT ONLY TAKES A FRACTION OF YOUR LIFE, IT ONLY TAKES A FRACTION OF YOUR LIFE…….OF YOUR LIFE……OF YOUR LIFE
AND IT DON’T MATTER WHERE YOUR GOING, IT DON’T MATTER WHERE YOU BEEN
IT DON’T MATTER WHAT YOU’RE DOING, IT ONLY MATTERS IN THE END……HERE WE GO AGAIN
EVER SINCE THIS HAPPENED SEEMS LIKE OH SO LONG AGO, WEEKS AND MONTHS I CANT REMEMBER CONTINUE TO HAUNT ME SO, LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE CAN ROCK YOU TO THE CENTER OF YOUR COREAND THE AFTERSHOCKS KEEP COMING FEEL LIKE I CANT TAKE MUCH MORE, THERES A POUNDING IN MY HEAD AND A NUMBING IN MY BRAIN, NO MATTER HOW HARD OR BAD I WANT TO I KNOW I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME, TRYING SO HARD TO REMEMBER TRY SO HARD NOT TO FORGETI CANT FOLLOW CONVERSATIONS AND YOU AINT SEEN THE WORST OF IT YET, AND EACH AND EVERY MORNING I AWAKE I HAVE TO TRY, TO CONVINCE MYSELF THAT THIS WONT BE THE DAY I HAVE TO DIE, AND A RELAPSE IS MOST CERTAIN I KNOW THIS MUCH TO BE TRUE, THATS WHERE THE FAITH COMES IN MY FRIEND THERES ONE MORE THING TO DO,
REMIND MYSELF ITS JUST A FRACTION OF MY LIFE
Lyrics by: Donny Eozzo © 2015
Searching for the words to say on a subject no one fully understands
Can Suzzie come on out to play, I’m so sorry Suzzie’s cancelled all her plans
Oh how we will miss her so, oh how everyone loved Suzzie’s smiling face
Oh how she could make us laugh it makes no sense she ended it all that way
Young Bobby was a football star, oh how everyone loved to watch him play
Always up and never down, must be so nice to run with the ball that way
He’ll surely make the NFL, you see Bobby could always find a way to win
But Bobby’s six feet underground now and he will never run with that ball again
Johnny’s girlfriend was a beauty queen; he used to love to dance with her all night long
Johnny doesn’t understand, he says “But she seemed, she seemed so strong!”
“If only she’d a talk to me, if only she, if only she’d a let me in
Johnny has to close his eyes now when he wants to see that girl again
Dear God, Can you forgive me, that’s if your even really there, and if you are you know me, you love and understand me and you won’t send my soul down there
Mom I love you so, I wanted you to know you did nothing wrong but it’s time for me to go
I know your gonna cry, I know I’ll break your heart
But this constant pain keeps tearing me apart, hopelessness despair surrounds me everywhere, I look up to the clouds It’s getting darker everyday, there’s nothing more to say
Guess I’ll be on my way……………….Good-Bye

12 BELIEVE
Guess# my life's been like a fairy tale, as far back as I can recall
I think I can remember being born, maybe that wasn't me at all
Some of the pages just a blur to me but music set to every scene
In my head I hear an orchestra, some of you won't know what I mean
Every road that I have traveled on, every place I've had to be
All the times I thought I closed my eyes, somehow today I clearly see
If you see tears rolling down my face it doesn't mean there's something wrong
Sometimes we laugh so hard it makes us cry, I believe we've known that all along
Do you believe in destiny, do you believe dreams can come true
Do you believe that anything is possible, I believe it's probably up to you
To you, to you, to you, to you
You know that feeling that comes over you this all has happen once before
Write it off another deja vu, our lives really mean so much more
More to the picture then meets the eye and rock and roll can never die
Neil Young is singing that rust never sleeps, I believe I now understand why
Do you believe in destiny, do you believe dreams can come true
Do you believe that anything is possible, I believe it's probably up to you
On and on our lives are filled with ups and down, Sometimes we play the castaway sometimes we wear the crowns
Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive, like DIO sang it's heaven and hell
It's just as well it's all what you believe, believe, believe, believe
Is this a tribute to my falling friends, is this a curse from down below
Born already knowing right from wrong, it's up to us which way we go
The world is full of both kings and queens, who blind your eyes and then they steal your dreams
Like Ronnie James made it oh so clear life isn't always what it seems
Do you believe in destiny, do you believe dreams can come true
Do you believe that anything is possible, I believe it's probably up to you
On and on our lives are filled with ups and down, Sometimes we play the castaway sometimes we wear the crowns
Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive, like DIO sang it's heaven and hell
It's just as well it's all what you believe, believe, believe, believe
Lyrics by: Donny Eozzo © 2015
#13 GOOD NIGHT SWEET DREAMS
Good night sweet dreams I love you, you know it's really true
There's nothing in this whole wide world I wouldn't do for you
Good night sweet dreams I love you, that's all I want to say
In a hundred thousand million years I'll still feel this way
Good night sweet dreams I love you, so let me hold your heart
So I can take it with me whenever we're a part
Good night sweet dreams I love you, that's all I want to say
In a hundred thousand billion years I'll still feel this way
Good night sweet dreams I love you, it's such an easy thing
And I'm so proud of you that it makes me want to sing (like the King)
Good night sweet dreams I love you, that's all I want to say
In a hundred thousand zillion years I'll still feel this way
Lyrics by: Donny Eozzo © 1995
"Good night sweet dreams I love you everybody, and from the bottom of my heart"
"Think of us as kindred spirits and as friends we will never ever part"
"Just one more thing that I believe, I hope you believe it true"
"I'm just a little bit crazier then just a little bit crazy.........I hope you are now to"
"Good-night!!!"
