It's My LIfe
Something for the Pain
Bed of Roses
You Give Love A Bad Name

IT´S MY LIFE

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

Chorus:
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

Chorus:
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

Chorus:
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive

Something for the Pain

Happiness, it's been no friend to me
But forever after ain't what it's all cracked up to be
Yeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasy
But I lost my faith when I hit reality
I don't need no Guru to tell me what to do
When you feeling like a headline on yesterday's news

Come on , Come on, Come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain when I feel I've been danglin' from
A hang-man's noose
Give me something for the pain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel all right, something like you

Loneliness has found a home in me
My suitcase and guitar are my only family
I've tried to need someone, like they needed me
I opened up my heart but all I did was bleed
I don't need no lover, just to get screwed
They don't make a bandage that is going to cover my bruise

Pull me under (help I'm falling)
Run through my veins (night is calling)
To a place (feels like I'm flying)
Where I feel no pain (Christ - I'm dying)
Be the pillow under my head
Give me cover when I'm in my bed
Take me higher than I've ever been
Take me down and back again
Come to me, be my disguise
Open your coat, let me crawl inside
Come on, Come on, Come on

Bed of Roses

Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
trying hard to capture the moment
this morning I don't know
cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head
and some blonde gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
as I dream about movies
they won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist
I wake up and French kiss the morning
while some marching band
keeps its own beat in my head
while we're talking
about all of the things that I long to believe
about love and truth and what you mean to me
and the truth is, baby, you're all that I need

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
oh, I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
and lay you down on a bed of roses

Well, I'm so far away
that each step that I take is on my way home
a king's ransom in dimes
I'd give each night
just to see through this payphone
still, I run out of time
or it's hard to get through
till the bird on the wire
flies me back to you
I'll Just close my eyes and whisper
baby, blind love is true

Well, this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
the barkeeper's wig's croocked
and she's giving me the eyes
and I might have said yeah
but I laughed so hard I think I died, ooh yeah

Now as you close your eyes
know I'll be thinking about you
while my mistress she calls me
to stand in her spotlight again
tonite I won't be alone
but you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
I've got nothing to prove
for it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonite I sleep in a bed of nails
oh, I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
and lay you down

I'm gonna lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
and lay you down in a bed of roses

You Give Love A Bad Name

An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free

You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name

You paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

Shot through the heart
and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
