Bitter Nostalgic This bitterness is surprising When you’re always in a positive mood. What we loss can never be found Innocence a landfill in the ground Mom & Dad, don’t be scared This technology can save you My son, are you there? This technology is killing you! We are wedged between two lies We are generation “why?” Bitter Nostalgic Ripe with Hopes & Dreams They told us we can be whatever We wanted to be And if it’s up to me I’m just going back to sleep The clock ticks, but time stands still A catatonic point of view Anxiety, takes a hold Brings you to your knees & then Good old days, never fade Security's a state of mind We are stuck between two lives We are Generation Y

Minnie's Song Slightly undersized but with the heart of the giant A spitfire in every word & let me tell you this She’s been misunderstood from the first breath she took She’ll never cast judgment for things you have done Thrown from a car & left for dead Trapped inside a dumpster nowhere to rest her head Living on the streets scrounging to survive That’s when I entered & saved both of our lives Do you need a friend? A Forever Home, till the end Minnie moved in on the day we met I remember that feeling that moment of bliss Minnie had a family a roof over her head Plenty to eat & a nice warm bed Friends & family can come in all shapes & sizes It’s the fire in their hearts that they chose to share Build each other up / don’t tear each other down Be a better person make Minnie proud

Nitrous 03:38
Nitrous Sleep Come to me And I can’t wait to dream Slipping away Day By Day That just the price you pay She’s high up in the sky Please come back down to me That s not the life you chose Trust me You’ll see Gasoline By an open flame Like Pyro, stay away You’re having too much fun on the outside When Inside your burning alive Nobody’s perfect And that’s how its goes These pills aren’t worth it They’re killing you slow She’s better than that She’s stronger than this Reach inside Fight & resist the urge The urge

Rad-O-Diner 03:30
Rad-O-Diner The foods okay & the atmosphere Take it or leave it, I don’t really care Cause Frank keeps them coming 2 at time I like my coffee like I like my woman Strong & bold, independent Thinkers, dreamers, miscreants of the night Gypsy love find me now Gypsy love find me now I’m searching every diner In every podunk town Gypsy love find me now From New York city to Louisiana California to Texarkana Lost search for greatness & true love Hopped a train back to Eldorado The same fucking train that leads back home Who wants to go home when you live alone? So Frank put the coffee on I’m almost done singing this song Cause the girl of my dreams is about to walk in. Ordered 12 coffees that’s about it Paid my tab with change scrounged for the tip Walked right passed her, I couldn’t even say hi Gypsy love find me now Gypsy love find me now I’m searching every diner In every podunk town Gypsy love find me now I’m searching every punk rock show In every punk rock town Gypsy love find me now

Spoonful of Sugar Darling, tell me who to be. Tell me what you need. With each passing day I'm fighting through your haze. I'll get your medicine. Prescribe you anything, to make you feel alright. You keep me waiting here. And I'm still waiting here, waiting for your call. And what happen to that girl that brightened up our world? She's lost and can't be found. And you’re dragging me down Just take your medicine. Painkillers and Vicodin. You"ll never be alright. You keep me waiting here. And I’m still waiting here. Waiting for your call.

A Toast to The Hopeful We lay awake at night Staring straight up towards the sky. Never thinking of the "how?" But just wondering bout the "why?" To all of those who want a new way to live. To all of those who want change for a drink. For all of those who pray for the day they're not down & out cause they never gave up, never gave up, never gave up. I hope this fire burns out before you breathe in my smoke. The way this city dreams when they are ignoring your screams. And may the children see that we can live together. And may the parents see there are people sleeping in the Streets. I hope this fire burns out before you breathe in my smoke. A world that’s really free, with equal opportunity. And may the white house see this is no silly pipe dream. And may the whole world see we can do it if we try.

Mike Terry New York

Hey It's Terry from The Jukebox Romantics! I'm a pretty positive guy. These are pretty sad songs. There's some "hope" sprinkled in there though. PMA?
