Lyrics: We're getting kind of short on brains around here Just Watch the news and it's abundantly clear so Take a chance, forget your fears Take my hand we'll disappear Let's Run Cause there's a place where special people like us Can live forever share a different kind of love far from spears of prejudice from those who say we're monstrous Let's Run (chorus) Let's go to Zombie Paradise Where the party never ends it's always night Where the skies are always grey Like the matter that we crave Down here in Zombie Paradise I must admit i fell in love on our first date I held your hand i felt the blood pulse in your veins I kissed your lips, kissed your face kissed your brain, what a taste I was in love And there a place for special ones like you and I Can share forever in this new kind of un-life Far form torches burning hate from those who scream that we are plagued Let's run (chorus) We got to get there where a Zombie can be free I'll put a bottle in front of you we'll share a frontal lobotomy We'll zombie shuffle side by side hunting prey We won't grow old together but together we'll decay Chorusx2 fin

There's plenty moon to light the sky now Just one or two clouds drift on by Comfort rolls in with the tide now It all seems well on the outside And I've had more than just a few now I should be feeling plenty high but I feel small beneath the stars now Still all is best on the outside It's plenty lonely on the inside Only echos of a life you left behind Too many memories I try to run and hide it all from the outside Been plenty days and plenty nights now since you went drifting from my sky And all my friends say I look fine now that's what they see on the outside I'm plenty good with my disguise now this masquerade of my design I hide it all from the outside now ignore that welling in my eyes repeat

STRANDED ©2013 jeff rauschl I Can't believe you left me stranded again makes me wonder why I even call you a friend and I'm stranded down here on this avenue should have know much better than to count on you but I'm stranded oh stranded well I'm stranded oh Called your cell phone I heard that voice mail sound called your mama's house she said that you're not around can't understand it I thought that you were a friend but I'll be damned if I ever trust you again but now I'm stranded underneath this Woolworth s sign and I'm feeling just as empty as that old five and dime and I'm stranded without a cigarette I feel abandoned just like an unloved pet and I'm stranded oh stranded oh (Instrumental) Remember all those times when I picked you up called in sick for you when you were drunk off your butt I should have realized when I was your alibi soon enough I'd pay for one of your lies and be stranded, oh stranded Can't believe you left me stranded again makes me wonder why I even call you a friend and I'm stranded down here on this avenue I should have know much better than to count on you 'cause I'm stranded oh I feel abandoned oh and I'm stranded

Lyric Boy Band Blues jeff rauschl ©2013 My baby's gone bye bye bye bye Listen up I'll tell you why why why Started out my senior year I was the New Kid on the Block and the day that we moved in was the day I heard her knock I felt a Big Time Rush cause there she stood like sweet confection and I new more than a crush she would be my One Direction After that we were N'sync every moment was a joy She was my front porch swing I was her Back Street Boy Took her out to see the show to show her off so all could see they were the honest band around but all her love belonged to me But when the lights went down and when the band came out I heard her scream and shout I saw he cry and shake and rush the stage and I knew right away (that) (chorus) My baby loves that boy band better and I'll never get her back, yeah she's gone gone forever My baby loves that boy band better and she's gone gone gone and we'll never be together I must confess I was distressed even felt a little rage as I watched her lift her dress throw her panties on the stage then some hippy roadie mess took her hand took her away and I knew we were through (cause) (chorus) x 2 I played the bad boy type I even got a skull tattoo to catch her eye Dyed my hair bleach blond made my eyes the deepest blue she never knew I even dressed in black, to get her back like damaged goods like the mysterious guy with that sullen brood (but) (chorus) x2 (chorus final) My baby loves that boy band better and he better stay away if his hair looks like Bieber Even if he looks a little gay well it really doesn't matter cause My baby loves that boy band better go figure

Natty Ice 16 oz in a brown bag cozy Drink it down on the sly avoid the beach cop notice see the sun sinking slowly feel the breeze off the ocean chill my bones I'm playing six string sonnets with my soft case open catch a coin or a bill if they pause for a moment on their way from their beach bungalows All decked out in their holiday clothes On the way to the buffet or a cafe in this Tourist Trap Town I've been spinning my wheels here in the sand till I'm almost out of breath And I swear every year that this year will surely be my last I'll break away, escape this crap but every season i always come back to chase the cheese through the maze like a rat, in this tourist trap town As the crowd starts to thin I close my case mount my cycle fixed gear beach cruiser got my tips in my pocket Cross the bridge to the village where the locals live the low rent zone I stop off for a beer at the Bill-aBong Tavern Out of reach of the beach ]where the tourists never wander where the dish washers, maids, minimum wage day laborers gather round to ponder their escape talk about the day when they'll finally get away from this tourist trap town. I've been spinning my wheels here in the sand till I'm almost out of breath And I swear every year that this year will surely be my last I'll break away, escape this crap but every season i always come back to chase the cheese through the maze like a rat, in this tourist trap town There's a price for paradise that you might not ever see This life is hard for the ones who sacrifice to cater to your needs Don't get me wrong you know we need you here We count on your blessings each year Just be kind respect your waitress car porters and building engineers Don't forget maid service, concierge's and the ones who serve you beer Life guards Beach cops receptionists bell hops all the clerks in the shops and cashiers We'll see you next year.

Seventeen ghosts haunt my house on this lonely street Seventeen ghosts you'd just never believe seventeen ghosts roam these halls when I go to sleep Seventeen ghosts and they're here just for me 17 ghosts there's one named Bob from the civil war 17 ghosts there's a girl barely four 17 ghosts a poltergeist that keeps slamming doors 17 ghosts one drags chains 'cross my floor A toy clown in a chair seems to laugh so incessantly something kicks my bed while it tugs on my sheets Hear a scream from my closet shrill intense so blood curdling A ghost in my toilet I can hear it go pee There's two ghosts in my kitchen Haunting all my appliances One making toast while another makes tea there's a ghost in my air ducts messing up my air conditioning a ghost from Miami records Spanish TV I heard ghost call my name another ghost tried to tickle me a ghost in my toothbrush tried to whiten my teeth Is that a ghost on my phone I won't buy what it's selling me 17 ghosts where is my sanity The seventeenth ghosts is what I lost it's your memory the seventeenth ghost in my heart endlessly seventeen ghosts but only one scares me can't you see seventeen ghosts I can never break free seventeen ghosts oh ho seventeen ghosts seventeen ghosts and you're still haunting me. forget all those other sixteen ghosts there's only one that ever scares me it's you you're the seventeenth ghost

©jeff rauschl 2012 Lyrics: I got an old tattered backpack and a new pair of sneakers and I'm gonna hit the highway for the sun comes up 'cause I gotta try and find you 'cause I got something for you in this old tattered backpack don't you know. Well I got no appointments and i got no prospects and they said leave the building 'for the sun comes up so I'm gonna try and find you 'cause I got something for you it's a real humdinger don't you know Well i thought that we were lovers thought we'd always be together thought that 'ner would anyone come in between guess you took me for a sucker and you ran off with my brother so it seems so I loaded up my backpack and I slipped on my sneakers and I'm headed out tomorrow when the sun comes up 'cause I gotta try and find you 'cause I got something for you in that old tattered backpack don't you know (WHISTLE) Now everyone says "just forget her" and "we thought we knew you better" but lately they say I'm acting kind of mean Now they all keep their distance from this man on a mission but soon they'll see another side of me I got a black market taser and a new roll of duct tape and I'm gonna go a huntin' when the sun comes up and you know I'm gonna find you cause I packed it all so special in that old tattered backpack don't you know. (whistle) And once again we will be lovers and we'll always be together never more will anyone dare come between No one will 'er discover what became of little brother can't you see (whistle) I got an old logger's cabin and a new set of ID's and we'll ride off together when the sun comes up... whistle -fin
