Heavy Rain (copyright Bobby Fay 1998)
Heavy rain coming down on your soul.
Against a wall you got nowhere to go.
You can run but you can’t hide.
It’s always with you.
That pain deep inside.
No denying it’ll catch up to you.
Someday soon when you least expect it to.
Heavy rain.
Falling from the skies.
Heavy rain.
Colder than the lies.
And I know.
That you know.
That you too fear.
The pain you feel.
And the tears that fall from your eyes.
Heaven help you for what you have done.
Heaven help you for what is to come.
Feel the fear that comes knocking on your door.
Taste the tear you keep crying more and more.
Heavy rain coming down on your soul.
Against a wall you got nowhere to go.
You can run but you can’t hide.
It’s always with you.
That pain deep inside.

Goodbye Cruel World
I’ve been trying.
For you to notice.
This love I have for you.
Your stupid smile.
Your selfish beauty.
What am I to do?
What do your friends say about me?
Are they on my side?
I don’t care.
What does it matter?
They’re all freaks anyway.
And I say.
Goodbye everybody.
Goodbye cruel, cruel world.
I’m so tired everybody.
So tired.
So tired of this cruel, cruel world.
I’ve been stinking.
Like Johnnie Walker.
Ever since I met you.
And I’ve been listening to Sticky Fingers.
Just to get my mind off of you.
I got friends.
They give me warning.
About people like you.
I don’t care.
‘Cuz I’m a gambler.
I’ll take my chances on you.
Goodbye cruel world.
Goodbye cruel world.
My tiny world.
Revolves around you.
It’s pretty sad but true.
Broke up the band.
So you would notice.
The pain you put me thru.
Who needs friends?
When you can have me.
They don’t love you like I do.
I don’t care.
‘Cuz I’m a dancer.
And I can keep up with you.
Goodbye cruel world.

See My Girlfriend (copyright Bobby Fay 2003)
See my girlfriend as she’s walking down the street.
She’s so pretty and she means so much to me.
I watch her as she walks into my favorite bar.
She’s looking for me because she thinks I am a star.
See my girlfriend.
She’s a big star.
See my girlfriend.
Walking right past me.

Permanent Frown

Permanent Frown (copyright Bobby Fay 1997)
I’m wearing a permanent frown.
I had it burned and tattooed to my heart.
I’m holding on to a dozen dead roses.
I had delivered to myself.
I was as happy as could be.
You were the only one for me.
Now see what you’ve done to me.
You left me ‘lone in misery.
I’ve become the neighborhood clown.
I took the part and I play it oh so well.
I’m swimming in the deepest of blue oceans.
I carved out a long, long time ago.
My frown’s the only thing I have.
To remind me of you.
This frown’s the only thing I have.
That’s still a part of you.
Take my blues away.
I’m wearing a sharp thorny crown.
I had it made.
And I wear it oh so proud.
I wanted to maybe marry you.
I’ll never ever remove this permanent frown.
I’m holding on to a dozen dead roses.
I killed all by my lonesome self.
Permanent frown.

I Want To Hear You Say That You Want Me (copyright Bobby Fay 2004)
Drinking beer is lots of fun.
We love beer and getting drunk.
Cranking up the stereo.
Brings us joy and happiness.
Watching tv all night long.
Smoking grass and getting high.
Writing songs on my guitar.
Play them for the bedroom wall.
I want to hear you say that you want me.
I need to know if you're for real.
I want to hear you say that you want me.
I need to see it in your eyes.
Running to the corner store.
Buy more beer to drink more beer.
Calling friends up on the phone.
Meet them at the local bar.
Drinking beer is lots of fun.
We love beer and getting drunk.
Cranking up the stereo.
Brings us joy and happiness.
I want to hear you say that you want me.
I need to know if you're for real.
I want to hear you say that you want me.
I need to see it in your eyes.
I want to hear you say that you want me.
I need to know if you're for real.
I want to hear you say that you want me.
I need to see it in your eyes.

Wasted (copyright Bobby Fay 2000)
If there’s a God above I wonder if he cries?
Is he mad as hell for all your lies?
Sticks and stones blood and bones.
Faith cannot replace you.
You’ve been drinking whiskey.
You’ve been drinking wine.
You’ve been out every night getting high.
Wasted.
And I made you cry.
Wasted.
There’s no reason why.
Driving thru this town with the radio on.
Nothing is right when the music is wrong.
There’s a hole in your life they call sacrifice.
Death cannot hurt you.
You’ve been hiding from something.
You’ve been building your walls.
And all you can say is F’yez all.
L.A. Lady running thru my mind.
New York City is far behind.
I got friends off of Sunset, the Lower East Side.
I will not forget you.
If there’s a God above is he laughing now?
Does he give a f#ck anyhow?

Another Drink (copyright Bobby Fay 1999)
I need to drink myself silly tonight.
I need to forget the problems in my life.
I want to drown in my drink tonight.
I want to hold you in my arms so tight.
I've drinking all night, what's new?
I've been toasting sweet memories of you.
Another drink.
Less to think.
I've been drowning in blue.
I wish my friends all lived with me.
I wish my life was the way it used to be.
I hope tomorrow I don't still feel this way.
I hope my next life doesn't turn out this way.
I've drinking all night, what's new?
I've been toasting sweet memories of you.
Another drink.
Less to think.
I've been drowning in blue.
Another round for these friends of mine.
Another drink to ease my aching mind.
I want to drown in my drink tonight.
I want to hold you in my arms so tight.

She Went Up to Heaven (copyright Bobby Fay 1999)
She went up to heaven
where she fell in the lord's arms.
The sun was hot on that day.
That's how I know she found her way.
She went up to heaven
where she fell in the lord's arms.
The sun was hot on that day.
That's how I know she found her way.
Lord, you know I'm gonna miss her.
Lord, you know I cried today.
Lord, you know I'm gonna miss her.
Lord, you know I lost my way.
Shine your light on me.
Shine all over me.
Let your love shine down on me.
Let your love shine all over me.
She went up to heaven
where she looked in the lord's eyes.
The sun was hot, I heard an angel cry.
I was born the day she died.
Lord, you know I'm gonna miss her.
Lord, you know I cried today.
Lord, you know I'm gonna miss her.
Lord, you know I lost my way.
She went up to heaven
where she met her maker.
The sun still shines in her memory.
We'll meet again one day, you'll see.
Lord, you know I'm gonna miss her.
Lord, you know I cried today.
Lord, you know I'm gonna miss her.
Lord, you know I lost my way.
Shine your light on me.
Shine all over me.
Let your love shine down on me.
Let your love shine all over me.

I Believe (copyright Bobby Fay 2019)
I believe in many things.
I believe in angels' wings.
I believe in a God above.
I believe in a thing called love.
I believe in the here and now.
I believe in sacred cows.
I believe in four noble truths.
I believe in the fountain of youth.
I believe in the Bible's ways.
I believe in most what it says.
I believe in life and death.
I believe in no regrets.
I believe in starry nights.
I believe in darkness and light.
I believe in dust to dust.
I believe in impermanence.
I believe in family.
I believe in her, you, and me.
Oh, I believe.

Holy Night (copyright Bobby Fay 2019)
She's a rose in a garden.
A wind that is whispering.
The voice of an angel.
Sits silently listening.
The sun it is wasted.
A love left unspoken.
Angel, have mercy.
On a heart that is broken.
Holy night.
Hold me tight.
Holy night.
Show me the light.
Like a prayer in the darkness.
The heavens are called to.
Angel, I'm sorry.
For the lies I have told you.
A future forgotten.
In this ocean of madness.
Angel or devil.
I come looking for forgiveness.
Holy night.
Hold me tight.
Holy night.
Show me the light.
Forgive them they know not what they do.
I put my faith in me and you.
When the rooster crowed you'd forgotten me.
Was blind but now I see.
Betrayed me with a deadly kiss.
But I'm the one you're going to miss.
I wonder why have you forsaken me?
As I fly off on my laser beam.
Your love's like a blue sky.
Rivers of sunshine.
Angel in heaven.
I just want what is all mine.
Day turns to blackness.
A prayer has just one wish.
Angel, where are you?
I'm lonely for your kiss.
Holy night.
Hold me tight.
Holy night.
Show me the light.
