Rene Marie Russo (born February 17, 1954) is an American film actress, musician and former model.
Russo was born in Burbank, California, the daughter of Shirley (née Balocca), a factory worker and barmaid, and Nino Russo, a sculptor and car mechanic who left the family when Rene was two. Her father and maternal grandfather were of Italian descent. Russo grew up with her sister, Toni, and their single mother. She attended Burroughs High School (where her classmates included director Ron Howard), but eventually dropped out in the tenth grade. To help her family, she began taking a variety of part-time jobs including working in an eyeglass factory, and as a movie cashier.
Russo started a modelling career after allegedly being spotted at a 1972 Rolling Stones concert by John Crosby, an agent from International Creative Management. With his encouragement, Russo applied to, and was signed by, Ford Modeling Agency, and went on to appear in magazine covers for Vogue, Mademoiselle, and Cosmopolitan, as well as advertisements for perfume and cosmetics.

Coming around 'e gonna take my heartbeat
Coming around 'e gonna steal my heartbeat
Off the line
Oh oh, 'e coming behind 'e gonna take my heartbeat
Coming behind 'e gonna steal my heartbeat
Anytime
We meet with friends, we talk carcinogens
The toxic dumps, and the malignant lumps
The smoke alarms, and the organic farms
We're running faster, to beat the master
Coming around 'e gonna take my heartbeat
Coming around 'e gonna steal my heartbeat
Off the line
Oh oh 'e coming behind 'e gonna take my heartbeat
Coming behind 'e gonna steal my heartbeat
And make the line
She drives the cart, right down the aisle
Can't buy a thing, without worrying
Coming around 'e gonna take my heartbeat
Coming around 'e gonna steal my heartbeat
Off the line
Oh oh 'e coming behind 'e gonna take my heartbeat
Coming behind 'e gonna steal my heartbeat
And make the line
Oh 'e coming again 'e gonna steal my heartbeat
'e gonna pull my pressure down
Oh 'e coming again 'e gonna steal my heartbeat
'e gonna put me in the ground....six feet under baby
But I can run really really fast yeah
Eatie the food that gonna make me last yeah
Go to the doc and have him pull the skin back
Pull the grey and color everything black
Wear a hat to make up for the ozone
Better yet, I'm never gonna leave home
Why yes you're right, could be your time
You make the rules, so live your life
Coming around 'e gonna take my heartbeat
Coming around 'e gonna steal my heartbeat
Off the line
Oh oh 'e coming behind 'e gonna take my heartbeat
Coming behind 'e gonna steal my heartbeat
And make the line
Oh 'e coming again 'e gonna steal my heartbeat
'e gonna pull my pressure down
Oh 'e coming again 'e gonna steal my heartbeat
'e gonna put me in the ground....six feet under baby
But I can run really really fast yeah
Eatie the food that gonna make me last yeah
Go to the doc and have him pull the skin back
Pull the grey and color everything black
Wear a hat to make up for the ozone
Better yet, I'm never gonna leave home
Oh 'e coming again 'e gonna steal my heartbeat

Oh 'e coming again 'e gonna steal my heartbeat

But I can run really really fast yeah
Eatie the food that gonna make me last yeah
Go to the doc and have him pull the skin back
Pull the grey and color everything black
Wear a hat to make up for the ozone
The morning came and went
And shortly after I awoke
To a hold in my head
And the note you left
We’re never going to find them
We’ll never find an exit
And when we land will we stay forever?
Take these words and build a cross
To hang yourself on
Who will fly with you when they have flown the lake?
Bite down hard
Chew up the moment so it lasts
Another winter here and memories don’t hold together
Who we’ve been and who we are
We spent two years at sea
With salt in our nails
And blood between our teeth
Our legs gave way on land
I know I’m better off
Take these words and build a cross
To hang yourself on
Who will fly with you when they have flown the lake?
Bite down hard
Chew up the moment so it lasts
Another winter here and memories don’t hold together
Who we’ve been and who we are
