Universal Rock Band
Sunrise in a desert land
Bug fly bugging the band
Broke a string in the middle of the show
Bending fender during his guitar solo
Cat nap on a moving bus
Big crowd adrenaline rush
Every town looks the same
Don't forget to call them by name
Chorus
Universal rock band has arrived
Tough business but they survived
Universal rock band blows you away
Their show is worth the money you paid
Lights go down the band steps up
Walking glow sticks like a line of ducks
Not a problem and all plugged in
Ladies and gentleman the show begins
Anticipation builds as they get ready to start
The introduction man does his part
The hottest band in the world
But not as hot as those pretty girls
Drummer solos for a little while
In comes the bass man and everybody smiles
Keyboard player takes us on a ride
The horns are there to give that music a rise
Then the guitar man blows an amp
Crank it up and walk that ramp
The wildest guitar solo ever made
He does a different jam every day
Bridge
Paul is dead, don't say that to me
Woke him up out of a bad dream
He thought he was on stage
Took a bad step and fell in a grave
Wake up, you're having a nightmare

You Need To Take Your Meds
You can tell when he needs his meds
His mouth starts moving and he shakes his head
He gets grouchy and raises his voice
Out of control like he has no choice
Nobody wants to be around him
He is starting to do it again
Somebody yelled out to his surprise
He finally shut up and realized
Chorus
You need to take your meds
You got anger in your head
You need to take your meds
You said things you shouldn't have said
Usually, when he doesn't forget
The nicest guy you could ever have met
But he sometimes just goes off
Running his mouth until he gets tossed
He just needs to not forget his pills
He's alright and he's actually pretty chilled
But he went on a rampage with his mouth
An important meeting and he was tossed out
Bridge
His medicine keeps him in check
But sometimes he forgets
He'll come back tomorrow and be okay
Never mind about yesterday
The medicine is working

The Possibilities Are Unlimited
A big black spider in the corner of my room
Skeletons in my closet and witches on brooms
Snot coming from his nose
Naked lady with no clothes
A river over flowing its banks
Tornado chasers driving tanks
Candy canes on Christmas trees
Winter snow and icy breeze
Chorus
The possibilities are unlimited
I can tell you just for the fun of it
I put some pictures in your head
You see it clearly with the words I said
Hippie toking a big bamboo bong
Beautiful woman singing a song
Rats in the sewer snakes in the weeds
Sick people coughing and spreading disease
Something pleasing like a rainbow
Something icky like a slimy toad
Even Godzilla made the show
Mothra, Ghidra, and Pinocchio
Bridge
Submarine races, girl with braces
Parked and sparked, kissing for a little while
Nine months later, do the alligator
Purple people eater meter
She don't like the way he treat her

Can’t Get Back To Sleep
San Francisco fog coming over the hills
Back Door man gives the women a chill
Strawberry wine an apple cider drink
Foot long hotdog hair balls in the sink
Muscle man flexing gave away his change
People with signs coming off the freeway lane
Best to change the subject and look at pretty skies
Sunshine fresh air tasting apple pies
Million-dollar project tearing up the roads
Pharmacy driver dropping off a load
Cop car siren looking into your mirror
Woman is crying face full of tears
Please have some ice cream and make a smiley face
Get yourself a haircut go floating into space
Give that man a band-aid he is bleeding on the floor
Lock the windows and lock the doors
Your brand new t-shirt is a perfect fit
I am taking you for ice cream big banana split
We can have romance on this sunny day
I will not bring up zombies or the boogey man today
I still want to kiss you but please wipe your face
You got some chocolate remains I can see some trace
Stop into the bathroom get a cold splash
You can toss the paper towels in their provided trash
Chorus
I missed the mark when delivering these lines
I could work harder and make up better rhymes
But it's 4 in the morning I should still be asleep
Dreaming of something but I can't get back to sleep
There's my favorite spider still in the corner wall
It doesn't bother me, at all
She took my broom and shove it into death
She don't like spiders and think they are pests
I could get a bite and I know she's right
Best my friendly spider to stay out of sight
I think it was a black widow too
A red hour glass looked like a tattoo
Bridge
Kangaroos and elephants, Mrs. Jones
High School principal talking on the phone
He's a trouble maker, not my kid
The truth of the matter is he is guilty what he did
Smoking in the bathroom is not allowed in school
No bed bugs no cudies in my bed
She checked all my sheets and then she read
A romance novel reading is fine
But I got a feeling that you're going to be mine
Your not sleepy don't try to close your eyes
I can see you smiling beneath that sigh
It's only love and that is all
I had it my way and she ended up balled

Fifty Songs
He didn't even think he could get one
When it came to music he thought he was done
Early July he started to watch
Tried to start music but everything was botched
Picked up a guitar and found a pick
Suddenly the music just seemed to click
But he still felt the challenge too iffy
Then the next thing you know the man's got fifty
Chorus
Fifty songs, he didn't see that coming
Just remind him and he takes off running
He can't do that is what he said
Fifty songs is over his head
Fifty songs is not that hard
Even when you are drawing pretty bad cards
Poker face and guitar rust
Go for it all or simply go bust
He can't stop even when he tries
He'll probably keep going until he dies
Making music is like his drug
All it took was to give him a shove
Bridge
Should he stop or keep on going?
Middle of August no way of knowing
We think the best is still to come
It sounds like he's having lots of fun
Fifty songs, is he done?

This Song Is Number 45
The sun is coming up but haven't crossed the horizon
Just like me but that's not so surprisin'
The problem is I'll need a nap
It's kind of like being in a trap
But it's quiet now and I can think and write
First feed my animals and make things tight
Couplet rhymes are best for me
But too much talking and not a lot to see
Chorus
This song is number 45
The next challenge is to keep it alive
All depends on what is said
Say it wrong and it's certainly dead
I've been good about not talking zombies
But you know it's going to happen especially with me
Their dead, Their slow, Their all messed up
They ate those people next to their truck
Spill that wine dig that girl
He spins her around as she does a little twirl
Now the sun has reached our horizon
We've reached that time it's not surprisin'
Bridge
45 a simple write
I woke up normal and not uptight
Words on paper just the beginning
I save the bridge for a twist in the ending
It's already time to plug in the guitars

Cooking and Cleaning
He has no romance
He never takes that chance
He is use to being alone
He lives inside a home
But he plays guitar
Act as if he is a star
Put up songs on the board
You would think it is his chores
Cooking and cleaning
Making sure things work
Cooking and cleaning
Making sure he don't get hurt
His body is weak
He is on a losing weight streak
He has things to do
But he do as he choose
He has to figure this out
In the middle of doubt
What exactly does he do?
How long before he is screwed?
Bridge
He needs to find a wife
He needs to get a life
He won't deal with the world
He won't try to find a girl
But he can still get it up

My Biggest Fear
I'm going to forget the lyrics
I'm going to crash and burn
I need to keep up my spirit
I need another chance to learn
I have the balls to open mic
I hope the crowd doesn't bite
No way I can pull this off
Just get on my guitar and take off
My biggest fear is a crash and burn
I won't remember when it's my turn
I blow the lyrics forget the chords
People will sit and listen bored
That was last time this is new
I got the balls and I got the screws
I'm going to play and everybody will like
When I get on that stage for open mic
I won't have a drink until I am done
I need to get this right and make sure they have fun
If I can just get pass this fear
Then I drink a six pack of beer
Bridge
Broke a string in a nightmare
On my big audition
The producer sigh and shook his head
I knew that moment I was dead
Well, at least I tried.

Visiting Spirit
Chorus
Something is happening in his room
Things are moving it smells like a tomb
He hears it talking inside his head
Some kind of entity something dead
He said he didn't believe in ghosts
Called it hogwash then ate his toast
She tried to tell him but he would not listen
He tried to smooch her but she would not let him
She told him she thinks the house is haunted
His response is this is what you wanted
But she don't want ghosts in her home
They always mess with her when she's alone
Chorus
One day she left and said goodbye
Told him good luck and remind him that she tried
Now he's messed up and starting to see
The kind of entity he could not agree
Now he's running but she is nowhere to be found
He wouldn't listen to her so she left town
This ghost shakes his bed and rattles his doors
It won't let him leave and it scares him some more
Bridge
It's a ghost story about this dude
Who wouldn't listen and got pretty rude
She told him he'd see and left him alone
To fight for his life and he don't have no phone
Now he is trapped in his haunted house
with a Visiting spirit
with a Visiting spirit

Money
I want money
I want it all
Give me money
Give me it all
I was thinking of robbing the bank
But it was another daydream yank
All this money and I work for minimum wage
I have to guard money behind a cage
I dream on at no charge
Tell nobody that I'm money starved
I just want to buy her something nice
But I can't afford to pay the price
Chorus
One day they called and wanted me to go
Somebody important is coming to the show
They like my songs and maybe sign a deal
If I can pull this off I won't have to steal
I'm not going to steal nothing anyways
That's just a daydream part of my days
Working in a bank guarding the money
I have no money to give to my honey
Bridge
On behalf of myself and the band
I hope we passed the audition
Sign right here and give us permission
I was skeptical and full of suspicion
Then I signed and got a check
