Finish Line
By: John Torres
Ch1
It’s such a strange world now
And no ones going back to the old one
It's all deranged somehow
But We can wash it down with a cold one
You’re on the wrong side now
You always thought that you were a good guy
I kept my words tied down
But now I speak my mind to the blue sky
Yeah yeah
V1
These days I’m on top of the world
But the worlds still on top of me
Just a matter of perspective you see
And those damned laws of gravity
You don’t need permission
You can go your own way
You can choose your own company
And in the end sleep in the bed that you made
You can sing your own melody
Ch 2
It’s such a strange world now
And no ones going back to the old one
I’m living rain proof now
And I can wash it down with a cold one
Where is the wrong side now
You always thought that you were a good guy
We kept our words tied down
But now We speak our minds to the blue sky
Yeah yeah
Outro Vamp
It's looking like, we might get to the finish line
We've share the fears and who knows what we're gonna find
Full steam ahead and whatever's on the other side
Cause we've spend enough days, sitting being terrified

OUTSIDE
By: John Torres
V1
Let’s go we racing down the road now
Explode and drive into the ocean
Pre
Which way’s up and where’s down
I’m lost in the sounds, my mind is leaving me
And life has never been more uncertain
I’m certainly afraid
V2
Let’s roll we’re racing down the highway
Untold delusions on my mind weigh
Pre2
Will I ever come down,
I’m glued to the sounds that pound inside my brain oh
Get me back to my home
Too far have I roamed
Please point the way
Ch
Outside
The world is unimaginably bright and Promising
Outside
I start to see a future and I might just live to see
Outside
I never knew how magical a sight could seem
A world of dreams outside
V2
I know I was never supposed to be there
Looking back I see it all much more clear
Pre
Did I ever come down, it turned me around
Changed forever more, and
All I know is I found my feet on the ground
And this need to be
Ch
Outside
Where The world is unimaginably bright and Promising
Outside
I can see the future and I’m glad I Got to see
Outside
Now I know how magical a sight can seem
A world of dreams
I could scream

4. Racing Toward the Future
By: John Torres
V1
We thought of something stupid to do
Isla Vista on a night with the crew
Pre1
Mikey, J, Monk and the Mack
Going and we ain’t looking back
V2
Party at a cliffside spot
Popping pillies that JZ bought
Pre2
Girly kissed it onto my tongue
She says you’ll know when it has begun
Ch
Let us go go go go
Off into the future we go
Let me go go go go
Racing toward a future I go
V3
Step into to the street in the rain
Toward a party on El Nido Ln
Pre 3
Walking as we’re starting to peak
Laughing like a couple of freaks
V4
Open up and look what we found
Pile of people and an ocean of sound
Pre 4
Mack is as white as the snow
I’m dancing the star of a show
Ch
Let us go go go go
Off into the future we go
Let me go go go go
Racing toward a future I go
Solo
Ch
Let us go go go go
Off into the future we go
Let me go go go go
Racing toward a future I go

Away We Go
By: John Torres
V1
This is all a new uncharted road
And we can’t say for sure just where it goes
Pre1
If all we have is now
Why dream about forever
V1B
This is so refreshing and so new
Why should we even be afraid of what is true
Pre2
If we have joy today
Why should we fear tomorrow
Away we go
Our eyes are opened wide
What more should we do
You look out for me
I’ll look out for you
Let's not be afraid
Of things that we cannot know
Put your hand in mine
Away we go
V2
There’s no way we can know it all
But I’d rather dance than fear the chance that we might fall
Pre 3
We can’t know what’s next
But here we are together
Ch
Away we go
Our eyes are opened wide
What more should we do
You look out for me
I’ll look out for you
Let's not be afraid
Of things that we cannot know
Put your hand in mine
Away we go
Bridge
Times racing by
We could try
But we will never keep up pace with it
Oh So much has changed
And so quickly
Tomorrow is here today

Shelter in Places
By: John Torres
©2020 Two Old Men Music
V1
The walls start to shake and boots start to quake
And the drums begin to beat so loud
Stuck in a room, need new words for the gloom
While we used to feel alone in a crowd
Pre 1
True this too will pass and the first will be the last
If we last long enough to keep score
Digging digging deeper you throw away a keeper
Take and take but still want more
Ch1
Shelter in places
Lost in the spaces
Grasping at the stars
High as it goes now
Talking to ghosts now
Never get too far
Holding on to who you are
V2
Made in the shade, Bills have been paid
And we all know how the west was won
Click here to buy
Fill your rooms to the sky
Use up time before time passes you by
Pre 2
Waiting for a break
But they take and take and take
Wishing you could come up for air
Head above the waters
Mothers, sons and daughters
All of this is so unfair
Ch1
Shelter in places
Lost in the spaces
Grasping at the stars
High as it goes now
Talking to ghosts now
Never get too far
Holding on to who you are
Bridge
Standing in the dark now
Wandering in the park now
Waiting for a break in the clouds
Need to get away now
Not much more to say now
Dying to do what isn’t allowed (Repeat)

Marjorie Taylor Green (Miss Information)
By: John Torres
V1
You must see
What nobody else can see
You’ve been set free
While we are all lost at sea.
Informed
Taking the time to look beyond the norms
Making sure you’re prepared to face the storm
Pre
Just you people wait and see
Just how loud this loud can be
Ch
Miss Information
The worlds on fire
Miss Information
But she’s no liar
Miss Information
The jokes on you
A growing fire there’s no telling what you’ll do
Chorus loop
V2
You’re inspired
Teaching us all how everything is wired
Telling us who’s the liar
Control
Dreaming of a time when you thought you had it all.
Shaking your fist at your Inglourious fall
Pre2
Just you people wait and see
Just how mad her mad can be
Ch
Miss Information
The worlds on fire
Miss Information
But she’s no liar
Miss Information
The jokes on you
A growing fire there’s no telling what you’ll do
Bridge
All the way
Every day
Must be true devotion
Stop and hear
Smell the fear
Deep as any ocean

Brand New Melody
By: John Torres
V1
I want you to stay
Not trying to push you away And I wonder if you believe me baby
I know I’m an ocean of words
In search of ones you’ve not heard
In hopes that you might receive me baby.
Pre
Stumbling around as I go
Wish I had a clue
Cause that’s the one way I know
Oh and that’s the truth
Hoping in time I can learn to be easier.
V2
You set me on fire
I get spun up in desire
I disappear in your ocean baby
And now we’re blissfully at sea
And I wonder if it could be
We’re done with all the commotion maybe
Pre
Yes it it true that we both
took the longer way
We got our scars
But the stars point to better days
Wind in our sails
And a brand new melody
Chorus
Do do do do do do do do
Solo
Pre
Here we are now at the top
Looking down below
Smiling so wide at the thought of
Where this could go
Wind in our sails
And this brand new melody
Ch
Repeat

Happy Song
By: John Torres
V1
Well you said
That I
Should only write happy songs
I promised that I’d try
Well you make
Me feel
Like writing you happy songs
Songs for you and I
Ch
So let’s dance when we wanna
Know that we’re gonna do
Whatever we wanna do
Let’s sing from from the rooftops
Love away tear drops
It’s not hard it easy
As long as I have you
V2
Well your smile
makes me
wanna write happy songs
And your heart is just so pure.
No ma-
-tter what
I might be going through
That smile is always the cure
Ch
So let’s dance when we wanna
Know that we’re gonna do
Whatever we wanna do
Let’s sing from from the rooftops
Love away tear drops
It’s not hard it easy
As long as I have you
Bridge
You help me see
Life is good
We’re not meant to be so sad
Look what’s around
Hear the sounds
The worlds not so bad

I got tired, I killed it through and through
I don't wanna make the same mistakes
The same mistakes with you
I didn't lie, but I withheld the truth
I don't wanna make the same mistakes
The same mistakes with you
The line is thin between a selfish act
And things you do to keep yourself intact
I could name a few
I did a lot that I could not undo
I don't wanna make the same mistakes
The same mistakes with you
