I've been working like crazy the whole year so naturally, it's time to live a little Livin' it up, I can't get enough I feel so good, don't try to judge I won't bitch or rush and I hold no grudge Feeling like the man with a Midas touch I've got my vacation mood on Flying high again, Ozzy Osbourne Dressed in all red like a rhubarb Next stop: just take me anywhere warm No stress or shoehorning Just sipping my bourbon, or maybe some summerwine And we'll take our time in our kind of town So come fly with us We'll go travel somewhere nice Frank Sinatra style Let's make it a very good year, baby And let's do it our way feeling young and free Dancing cheek to cheek, scouring old boutiques Sitting on the beach, making memories Most of all, no fears No negativity Livin' it up, I can't get enough I feel so good, don't try to judge I won't bitch or rush and I hold no grudge Feeling like the man with a Midas touch Let's make it a very good year baby Are you ready? Let's go then

Ooh, what a lovely morning As the leaves slowly fall down I sit by the window Watching trees dying their hair I take my time Drinking this black coffee Thinking 'bout the blackened dreams I keep seeing all around me Guess I'm a lucky one 'Cause today's such a good day So I better appreciate it I've got nothing to worry at all Things might not be like before But today's a good day, got no rain, no complaints, no Just these gray skies and vivid thoughts As the seasons change I sit still on this windy dock Looking at the bay It's like a painting with no frame My scarf's wrapped in tight My jacket keeps me feeling warm I'm a nature child and I feel so alive 'Cause today's such a good day So I better appreciate it I've got nothing to worry at all Things might not be like before But today's a good day, got no rain, no complaints, no Just these gray skies and vivid thoughts
3.
Okay, okay, okay, keep it rolling now Ooh, life rolls on while the faces 'round me change Ooh, and there's been some hellfire, there's been some hard rain Ooh, the years have trained me for this cold and cut-throat game Ooh, I mastered painting pretty pictures made of pain Ooh, I'm always on the run, I don't need no cocaine Ooh, I've been all around with cars, wagons and planes Ooh, I turn the stories I see into melody Ooh, and here's a little song for your rainy days Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm a legend in the making from the land of the lakes Far from the mundane Yeah, I never hesitate Passion's my greatest trait and I can't be contained If I can't do it I'll somehow find a way Don't like me? Prepare for migraines because I'm here to stay Yeah, this year I've been unchained, I was born to be a great Even the blind could see it, no need for braille 'Bout to change things up like the plague This year was for work, the next one's to celebrate Ooh, life rolls on while the faces 'round me change Ooh, and there's been some hellfire, there's been some hard rain Ooh, the years have trained me for this cold and cut-throat game Ooh, I mastered painting pretty pictures made of pain Ooh, I'm always on the run, I don't need no cocaine Ooh, I've been all around with cars, wagons and planes Ooh, I turn the stories I see into melody Ooh, and here's a little song for your holiday Ow, ooh, yeah The king of splinter I'm on a holiday mood
4.
There's been some good times And there's been some bad times There's been days I thought the stars aligned, yeah yeah And there's been days I felt so blind But I always keep movin' on I've seen loads of liars Seen hitch-hikers and fighters, yeah yeah Some made me feel inspired Some tried to put out my fire But I always keep movin' on [I've taken uppercuts with a smile, I've felt the pain in my spine, I've worked a million miles] Always keep movin' on Yes, I do Yep, always
5.
Nightdriving 02:24
I drive under a night-sky Eyes on the endless road I miss your touch, whispering a short prayer in the dark Hope I get home before the dawn City to city, highway to highway The faceless motels pass me by Roof's kissed by the rain The wiper prates, I'm 'bout getting paid So I'm driving all night like Roy Counting on fate Trying to stay awake Still thinking 'bout your face, baby The last time we talked the mood wasn't right And I had to leave too soon, it's been eating me from the inside Let's trade our guns and knives for rosy hugs 'Cause patience is all that's really required Can't wait to be there by your side, no I drive under a night-sky Eyes on the endless road I miss your touch, whispering a short prayer in the dark Hope I get home before the dawn I drive under a night-sky Eyes on the endless road I miss your touch, whispering a short prayer in the dark Yeah, yeah
6.
Only Way Out 03:03
I've been an outcast since I was a child Used to beg for a new start, I finally found my pride The journey's been so long and lonely but it keeps me alive Had nowhere to go, just this vision in my mind So I would sing my way through the troubled days Music was my hiding place My only way out Sitting on that train with a one-way ticket saying "I'll never lose this game" My head full of doubt but it's my only way out Now I've made it through an apocalypse or two And it's made me so strong, it's kept me true to my roots My heart's so restless, I stare at the moon With no one but myself to tell me "you'll make it soon" So I would sing my way through the troubled days Music was my hiding place My only way out Sitting on that train with a one-way ticket saying "I'll never lose this game" It's my only way out
7.
Migrant Bird 02:21
I've been all around searching for something I haven't found I've kept searching north and south I'm a traveller on this long, war-torn path I've journeyed through stolen lands Seen old towns and helpless hands There's a lot of lessons I've learned We're all striving to be heard Everyone you talk to has been hurt Some don't earn what they deserve Some even smile through their sunburns And some go through hell just to learn They're in the songs that I've sung A thousand tales from all around, yeah And I'm just another one A migrant bird in the clouds, yeah They're from the journeys I've done A million miles in my mind, yeah And I'm just another one A migrant bird in the clouds, yeah I learned flying on my own I used to search so hard for somebody But now I see the reality That somebody's me
8.
I've seen darkness I've seen crimes Seen the evil that resides inside Seen the wrongs we tend to commit while claiming we're the ones acting just I've seen beauty I've seen sacrifice I've seen how touch can unify I've seen benevolence I've seen light The many shades of the mankind I've seen jealous, seen contempt I've seen murder I've seen revenge I've seen wars that might never end Seen folks I liked turn into the condemned I've seen invention, seen great intent Seen people rise from the gutter and ascend I've seen the justice win in the end I've smelled the morning dew I've smelled its scent Kyynelsilmin Kyynelsilmin Na, na - na, na, na - na, na - na, na, na - na, na, na We're in this together Wading through the world Living with our little herds We're in this together Watching present twist and turn Seeing planets grow and burn We're in this together Wading through the world, ooh We're in this together Watching planets grow and burn Just waiting for our turn Just waiting for our turn Just waiting for our turn Just waiting for our turn
9.
Plan 02:11
We've got all the time in the world Tank full of gas Your hand on my hand Hot sun, endless sand No time to think about the past 'Cause we've got all the time in the world Forget the plans Just hold my hand Forget the past Just hold my hand
