Fastball Album

Lyrics and music: Miles Zuniga

Well I don't wanna be President
Superman or Clark Kent
I don't wanna walk 'round in their shoes

'Cause I don't know who's side I'm on
I don't know my right from wrong
I don't know where I'm going to
I don't know about you

Chorus:
I'll be the rain falling on your fire escape
And I may not be the man you want me to
I can be myself, how 'bout you?

I don't wanna make you mad
I don't wanna meet your dad
I don't wanna be your dream come true

'Cause I don't know just what I've found
I don't know my sky from ground
I don't know where I'm going to
I don't know about you

Chorus

Repeat Chorus

I can be myself, how 'bout you?
I can be myself
How 'bout you?

Too bad I don't get my own way
Want champagne, all they got is cabernet
And I'm wastin' all my time
I feel good but there's a tear in my eye
Rain fallin' from a cloudless sky

I get high, forget about it all
Red lights flashin' behind my cracked up rearview mirror
Thunder crashin' down and screamin' in my ear
I guess I drew a bad card somewhere down the line
And I never win my money all back
I'm only here for a limited time
Probably see me hangin' around by the railroad tracks
I get high

We used to have a house down by the shore
Every night we'd take a walk to the liquor store
And we'd get wasted all the time
I hit the city when I lost ya girl
Not so pretty it's a different world

I get high, forget about it all
Red lights flashin' behind my cracked up rearview mirror
Thunder crashin' down and screamin' in my ear
I guess I drew a bad card somewhere down the line
And I never win my money all back
I'm only here for a limited time
And then I got a bag to pack

I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down

Too bad I don't get my own way
Maybe you and me can try to get together some day
Because I'm wastin' all my time
I feel good but there's a tear in my eye
Rain fallin' from a cloudless sky

I get high, forget about it all
I get high, forget about it all

Riding down the freeway, I've got to stay free
I need a little leeway and an angel to watch over me
don't give up on me
don't give up on me
cause I know I let you down girl
once, twice, or maybe three
I fell into temptation
won't you tell me that you'll wait for me
don't give up on me
don't give up on me
don't give up on me
don't give up on me
riding down the freeway, I've got to stay free
I need a little leeway and an angel to watch over me
don't give up on me
don't give up on me
don't give up on me
don't give up on me
don't give up on me, please
don't give up on me

Lyrics and music: Tony Scalzo

They made up their minds
And they started packing
They left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going without ever
Knowing the way?

They drank up the wine
And they got to talking
They now had more important things to say
And when the car broke down they started walking
Where were they going without ever
Knowing the way?

Chorus:
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
Is paved in gold
And it's always summer
They'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and grey
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today, today

Their children woke up
And they couldn't find them
They left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off and left it all behind 'em
But where were they going without ever
Knowing the way?

Chorus

[No lyrics]

Oh Mexico
All the time
Dreamin' all about Acapulco
And a sweet thing on my mind
Mogadishu sunrise
Low above the sea
All of those lawyers in California
Won't bring her back to me
Back to me
Back to me

Oh Mercenary Girl
Of all the lowdown places in the world
To be stuck inside of a phone booth
Hangin' on the end of a line
While this civil war keeps ragin' in my mind

Oh Mary Mary
I think you're fine
'Cause you can mix a margarita
From a bottle of turpentine
Just between noon and midnight
That's when the battle rages on
Mama I just gotta make one more call
And I'll be here with you all night long
All night long
All night long

Oh Mercenary Girl
Of all the lowdown places in the world
To be livin' in another city
Comin' from another time
I know it's a cold cruel world
But you're eyes look soft and kind
And this civil war keeps ragin' in my mind
Oh Mercenary Girl
Oh Mercenary Girl
Oh Mercenary Girl

Well I wanna be a better man
But I got a short attention span
Have a good time while you can
Before your time is through
Cause life is unrehearsable
And the past is irreversable
Let me ride in your convertable
Cause I'm love with you

You know that life,
It's a merry-go-round
It's a ride
It speeds up, it slows down
And it's free
But you only get to ride it once

Working for the corporation
And so is my imagination
Money is the sole salvation
It's monkey see, monkey do
I just want to stay up to see a while
I just wanna see my baby smile
In the end it's all worthwhile
When I come home to you

You know that life,
It's a merry-go-round
It's a ride
It speeds up, it slows down
And it's free
But you only get to ride it once

They want to see who's got the biggest gun
(They want to do it again)
All these cowboys want to have their fun
(They want to do it again)
They want to do it again

Well we think that we're so clever
Flying without feathers
But we still can't control the weather
Better send in the marines
And it gets a little harder everyday
But we just pretend that it'll go away
Someday when we're old and gray
And living in a submarine

You know that life,
It's a merry-go-round
It's a ride
It speeds up, it slows down
And it's free
But you only get to ride it once

Well I wanna be a better man
But I got a short attention span
Have a good time while you can
Before your time is through

Long before I ever saw your face
I got to know you in a dream
But things aren't always what they seem
You learn along the way

I just can't stop myself from breaking down
It's just no good unless you come around
I turn into a monster
all my friends agree

So goodnight
I'm going to bed
I'm falling upstairs to meet you
I wake up with memories in my head
I'm someone else instead
Fallin' upstairs to you

You came to me from secret place
You're beautiful and strange to me
Just like an antique melody
Too sad for me to play

I hope you'll wait for me behind closed eyes
I know I'll search for you all through the night
'Till when the dawn breaks in and throws it's light
Around the room

Goodnight
I'm going to bed
I'm falling upstairs to meet you
I wake up with memories in my head
I'm somewhere else instead
Falling upstairs to you

Airstream, big chrome airstream
Leave the world behind me
They won't find me in my airstream

Free, I don't wanna be stuck in the city
With the cars and people downtown
Waiting in a line
Wishing I was far away
Where no one knows my name

Ocean, big blue ocean
Rolling like a daydream
Down the highway in my airstream

Free, I don't wanna be stuck in the city
With the cars and people downtown
Waiting in a line
Wishing I was far away
Where no one knows my name
Or my address, it's a place I've never been
When it gets too familiar I'll be gone

Free, I don't wanna be stuck in the city
With the cars and people downtown
Waiting in a line
Wishing I was far away
Where no one knows my name
Or my address, it's a place I've never been
When it gets too familiar I'll be gone
When it gets too familiar I'll be gone

Lyrics and music: Tony Scalzo

Sometimes I feel
Like I am drunk behind the wheel
The wheel of possibility
However it may roll
Give it a spin
See if you can somehow factor in
You know there's always more than one way
To say exactly what you mean to say

Chorus:
Was I out of my head? Was I out of my mind?
How could I have ever been so blind?
I was waiting for an indication
It was hard to find
Don't matter what I say only what I do
I never mean to do bad things to you
So quiet but I finally woke up
If you're sad then it's time you spoke up too

Chorus
Repeat Chorus
