Chris Spradlin (born December 24, 1979) is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name Chris Hero. He is signed to WWE, working in its developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) under the ring name Kassius Ohno. Hero was previously a mainstay of many independent wrestling promotions, including Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and Ring of Honor as well as Pro Wrestling Noah in Japan. He is also known from his time in Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South, Combat Zone Wrestling and Chikara, where he was the co-head trainer of the Chikara Wrestle Factory. Hero is also a former three-time world champion having held the CZW World Heavyweight Championship, the PWG World Championship and the wXw World Heavyweight Championship.
After graduating from Northmont High School in Clayton, Ohio, Spradlin decided to train as a professional wrestler in the summer of 1998. After undergoing some initial training in Middletown, Ohio, Spradlin debuted on September 12, 1998 in Xenia, Ohio wrestling Shawn "HeartThrob" Halsey in the Unified Championship Wrestling promotion. Spradlin's initial training in Middletown was under the supervision of a small time promoter named Gary Goffinet. Spradlin trained for a little while alongside his friend, Adam Ghazee, under a wrestler by the name of Bo Dacious. Bo had trained previously under Charlie Fulton at the Monster Factory. At the suggestion of Matt Stryker, Spradlin underwent further training at Les Thatcher's Cincinnati-based HWA Main Event Wrestling Camp between May 1999 and November 1999. In December 1999, he traveled to Ocala, Florida to train under Dory Funk, Jr. at the Funkin' Conservatory professional wrestling school.
Calvin James Howard (October 4, 1978 - April 14, 2012), better known as Viro the Virus, was an underground hip hop artist based in New Jersey and Philadelphia. Despite only some commercial success, Viro became well known on the underground hip hop circuit, with his most notable appearance on the track "Starlight", from the Snowgoons album, German Snow.
In his lifetime, Viro the Virus released seven albums, five of which were solo efforts. His debut, Future Trauma, was released in 2002 under the One i Di. Vision record label, and has since been made available on bandcamp. It would be three years until his next solo album, during which time he collaborated with producer Caliph Now on the album Arznova (2003) and rapper Slim DSM on 420 (2004). It was in 2005 that Viro released the album Outbreak, spawning the popular track, Top Dog. Due to Viro's growing popularity in the later stages of his career, the album was re-released on iTunes in 2009. The entire album (save for the track "Primetime") was produced by Caliph Now.
There she goes, the one that I love
The one I've been waiting for
The one I've been dreaming of
There she goes but she'll never be mine
Wasted all of my chances
Run clean out of time
There she goes with the wind in her hair
And a smile on her face
She doesn't know what I'd give just for one moment
To be in his place
Anyway
Take a look, there she goes
Take a look, there she goes
There she goes with the wind in her hair
And a smile on her face
She doesn't know what I'd give just for one moment
To be in his place
Anyway
Take a look, 'cos there she goes
Take a look, there she goes
There she goes, there she goes
There she goes
I feel your heat in dusty whispers
The wind is cold around your moon
It's getting hard to keep our distance
I know your time is coming soon
Don't point your dream on my horizon
Don't take your rose too far from home
Please don't forget we're not each other
Each soul has black thorns of his own
I see you dancing
Your song is clear
You've got to show me, got to show me
There's nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
I have my loved ones you have yours
So let us gaze upon the feast
In God's own name let's eat together
In God's own name please come in peace
See how our children play together
While you and me we stand alone
I know we'll never be each other
If I leave you leave me alone
I see you dancing
Your song is clear
You've got to show me, got to show me
There's nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
Could have been a long hot summer night
When all the stars were shining bright
Against the blue
Could have been that famous decade scene
Top hats and tails, spinning 'round the room
And all I remember is not wanting the music to end
And all I remember is feeling a need that I could not hide
Don't take away those dancing shoes
Don't take away those dancing shoes
Don't take away that boy's dancing shoes
And ever since that very night
I found me a guiding light, light the way
To turn off the music is to turn off the light in my soul
So just let it shine mister
One more time for me and my babe
Don't take away those dancing shoes
Without the rhythm you got the blues
Don't take away those dancing shoes
Don't take away that boy's dancing shoes
Could this be true
Could this be me
The one who kept himself so high and free
Caught up in the highest game of all
And all my defences tumble and fall
Only the ace of hearts can save now
I wake in early hours and call your name
It's your face I see pressed up against my window pane
And suddenly I realise
As the tears start to fall like rain from the sky
Only the ace of hearts can save me now
Said only the ace of hearts can save me now
Ace of hearts tell me what's this game we're playing
Ace of hearts it's all down to you
I'm lost, lost like a child in a strange dream
Open your doors and pull me
Pull me trough
And I'm flying like the wind in the dead of night
Flying so high searching for those landing lights
I've never been this high before
But darling all I need is your love more and more
And only the ace of hearts can save me now
Sitting at the crossways
Trying to keep my cool with the traffic lights
I've been up and down this line so any times
Girl, it's never right
Me and this machine keep the crazy urban dream
Locked in overflow
Sometimes I swear I could spin these old wheels
Just let it go
Runaway
Is it something that you hear
Coming through the waves on the radio
Or something that you see gently taps your memory
And shoots you down
Those hometown thoughts, school yard dreams and yesterdays
Moving in I just put my head down and drift away
And we're moving up and down, in and out of town
We're all searching for that piece of higher ground
somewhere...
Runaway
Heartbeat, way down on Cove Street
Playing to lady luck, awaiting that tender touch
Fantasy is the trick of the dance you see
Hiding that need for love and wanting you close to me
Oh that one sweet and tender touch
That's what I'm missing and need so much
One sweet and tender touch
Bright light
Pretty colours that shine on all through the night
I don't need them, not half as much
As I'm wanting your tender touch
And loneliness makes the strongest heart a wilderness
That's wilder than you see, is wanting you close to me
For that one sweet and tender touch
That's what I'm missing and need so much
One sweet and tender touch
The night was black with thunder
The streets were wet with rain
Another day goes under
A little bourbon will take the strain
And I'm waiting for my take-home French fries
She smiled and said 'take me away'
We always laughed but I think she means it
But I'm dreaming my life away
Loving you
Loving you the way that I do
The weekend cars are leaving
In a spray of wind and sound
The bar-talk, make believing
And the drinks go easy down
It's back to the all-night take-away
She says 'Here comes the man of my dreams'
We always laugh but I think she means it
And I'm spending my time
Just loving you
Loving you the way that I do
Stood still on a highway
I saw a woman
By the side of the road
With a face that I knew like my own
Reflected in my window
Well she walked up to my quarterlight
And she bent down real slow
A fearful pressure paralysed me in my shadow
She said 'son what are you doing here
My fear for you has turned me in my grave'
I said 'mama I come to the valley of the rich
Myself to sell'
She said 'son this is the road to hell'
On your journey cross the wilderness
From the desert to the well
You have strayed upon the motorway to hell
Sweet September
I remember
Eyes of August, deepest blue
While the easy town was sleeping
Strangest love I ever knew
Feel the wind blow
See the shadows
Kiss the breeze of a sudden shore
Of my life's loves and fascinations
The only one who left me wanting more
Little blonde plaits
Drink to you love
Drink to me love
Sun burned feet on a dusty track
Evening waves that turned in twilight
Caught forever those little blonde plaits
Soldiers of fortune
Lost in the wind
No destinations
And nothing to win
Keeping heads above water
You get dirty and mean
Scrubbing forever
And you never come clean
A life that is easy
A dream that comes true
Flowers for someone
But they're sure ain't for me...
Your room's filled with soft light
Safe and secure
Mine is the dark night
And nothing's for sure
We're just passing through
A life that is easy
A dream to be free
Flowers for someone...
But they ain't for you
And they sure ain't for me
Deep inside these dusty walls
There's a sacred heart
I'd know this garden anywhere
She was warm, she was deep summertime
She was love itself
And she was standing there
Standing close, so close to me
I close my eyes, and I can see
Giverny
And in this strange and holy place
I looked for love and found it everywhere
It was that you saw
She came to me
Because of you, she was standing there
Giverny
Books may burn and rain may fall
But what is here, I know will last
Forever more
Colours change there are no defines
She was love itself
And I thank you for giving me
She throws her hair into the February breeze
She hears it singing through the branches of the trees
A song of something
She knows so well
And she's still looking for a freeway
She hears the sound of distant planes across the night
She catches a fleeting glimpse of fading red tail lights
Into tomorrow she gently sleeps
And she's still dreaming of a freeway
Far away, there's a piece of luck somewhere
Shining like a star in the night
Dream on lady, till the early morning light
Takes your dream to be free
The weak and hazy shades of winter sun
Come shining through
Lifting fog from the trees and a gentle warm breeze
Send it up in to the blue
Blue sky and you come creeping through my soul
Goodbye our love's smoking too
And the sound of those Italian engines
Is much more the sound of you
Miles was a cigarette smoky and long
Gonna miss what I never had
Now that cigarette is gone
If you don't listen what the people say
The people gonna have to take their own way
You got to give the people what they need
And only then will they begin to see
There's a world that we don't know
There's a world we never see
Espresso
I don't need this trouble, I don't need the grief
I don't need to feel this pressure down on me
Every day there's something we don't really need
Stop, think, walk away and let it be
Stop, think, walk away and let it be
Espresso
There's a world that we don't know
There's a world we never see
Espresso
[Instrumental]
I don't care anymore
All the things I hear you say
Don't care anymore
You're always lying anyway
Got a sweet little girl
And it's such a sunny day
I heard it all before
Gonna hear it some more
But you must understand one thing
I don't care anymore
I got a sweet little girl
And it's such a sunny day
I heard it all before
Gonna hear it some more
I don't care
I don't care anymore
EYES SO BRIGHT
SO BIG AND WIDE
MAKE YOU FEEL SO STRANGE
SOMEWHERE DEEP INSIDE
IT'S THE FACE OF AN ANGEL
SOUL OF THE DEVIL MAY CARE
I'D LOVE TO KNOW
WHAT GOES ON IN THERE
SHE NEEDS YOUR LOVE
SHE NEEDS IT EVERY DAY
BUT SPEAK OF LOVE
SEE HER LAUGH AND RUN AWAY
JULIA
WHICH WAY WILL GO
JULIA
I WANNA KNOW
JULIA
ONLY THE MOON AND STARS
JULIA
KNOW JUST WHERE YOU ARE
JULIA
SEE THE DANCE
THAT NEEDS NO ALIBI
YOU DON'T NEED TO DREAM
WHEN YOU KNOW YOU CAN FLY
BUT SPEAK OF LOVE
SEE HER LAUGH AND RUN AWAY
JULIA
WHICH WAY WILL GO
JULIA
I WANNA KNOW
JULIA
ONLY THE MOON AND THE STARS
JULIA
KNOW JUST WHERE YOU ARE
I was born a beggar
With the garbage round my feet
The devil lived in every hole
And every corner of the street
When misery is all there is
You got nothing to lose
So come on and buy me
Come on and buy me
Some red, red, red shoes
Don't tell me what I do is wrong
Don't preach 'cos you don't know
'Cos I was left without a chance
Such a long time ago
And anything is better
Than being cut and bruised
So come on and buy me
Some red, red, red shoes
Don't tell me what I do is wrong
Don't preach 'cos you don't know
'Cos I was left without a chance
Such a long time ago
And anything is better
Than being battered and bruised
So come on and buy me
Some red, red, red shoes
I see a turning wheel
On a dusty track
Caught in the void and empty space
In between there and back
And the paradise of going somewhere
That's still so far away
Happy, boy you bet I am
Holding on to this smile for just as long as I can
Heaven
It's all bright in front
And it's all dark behind
Livin' for the now that's in between the bridges and the signs
And getting there is still a long long way to go
While the others dream and wish
This is everything I officially need to know
Happy, boy you bet I am
Holding on to this smile for just as long as I can
Every second counts
That's what he says
Every second counts
Every single day
All through the night time
And all through the day time
Can't let your world pass through and in to my way
Every second counts
He can't slow down
Every second counts
See his spin around
He's chasing his shadow
He's racing the wind
He tells us to follow
Where the ice is so thin
I hope you're holding on
I hope you're holding on
'Cos every second counts
And you my love
I do not sleep tonight
I may not ever
The sins of the past have come
See how they sit down together
Outside my window
Outside my door
And I know the reason what they've all come here for
You my love
My sweet, sweet love
Are what it's all because of
Surrender is easy
I know you do me no harm
But your innocence haunts me
The most fatal of charms
Oh I must have done some wrong
On a dark and distant day
For I know full and well tonight
This is how that I must pay
And you my love
My sweet, sweet love
Are what it's all because of
You my love
My sweet, sweet love
Are what it's all because of
There's an empty street in an empty town
There's an old boutique selling ageing gowns
Some words on the walls that were written
By the light of the moon so bright
Can you hear me, can you her me tonight
Take me out of this darkness and in to the morning light
The rain that falls doesn't make me cry
And the wind that blows cannot hurt my eyes
But the things that I see when I turn on TV
Make me wanna lie down and die
Can you hear me, can you her me tonight
Take me out of this darkness and in to the morning light
Can you hear me
Take me out of this darkness and in to the morning light
There's no sense in waiting
So let's make a start
I've got a poisoned finger
On a broken heart
Don't have time for reasons
Or feel inclined to quiz
The past is over
That's just the way it is
Start it up
And let it loose on me
We could sit for ever
Or we could talk all night
Of the whys and where fores
Of the wrongs and rights
A crazy situation
Anyhow
Turning on frustration
So tell me
Why not now?
They say his chances could not have been better
All the promise of a July sun in the morning sky
Laughing at the peering faces
From the windows of a limousine
Caviar with the A & R and still only in his teens
So whatever happened?
I can see him now, his face lit up in neon
One hand up in the air as he turns towards the crowd
His songs of silver arrows they tried to roll into gold
With diamond tips from painted lips
Designed and ready to be sold
They say he could not fall of
They say he could not fail
The wealth and fame would fire his flame
Just as soon as his ship set sail
So whatever happened?
Whatever happened to Benny Santini?
Whatever happened to the guy on the wall?
Where did he go to if he could not fall of
They tell you they don't know
They don't know at all
I used to hang my head down low
Never knowing which way I was going
My life was getting close to the edge
And I knew that it was showing
Because of you
I can stand and hold my head up high
Because of you
I feel free and yet I don't know why
Each morning is a spring time song
With the sun up in the sky
The sadness that is on your face
Helped me to realise
I owe each day I have to you
And I'll pay you back some day
You're reading me like a book
But I really would like to say
Because of you
I can stand and hold my head up high
Because of you
I feel free and yet I don't know why
Yes I do, it's you
And I'll pay you back some day
Because of you
I have finally found my way
Catch a sight of long lost summers
Catch a dream inside your hands
Take me where that lady comes from
Take me to that far off distant land
Rain comes pouring past my window
Turns my sky from blue to grey
I ain't never been to Texas
But I sure gonna meet that lady
One fine day
When Texas smiles around my bedroom
Who could ever turn her down
Tears of joy roll down my pillow
While cold north winds are blowing all around me
But I don't care, my dream is westbound
Far across that sky so grey
I ain't never been to Texas
But I sure gonna meet that lady
One fine day
She's my little Texas
My little Texas
There'll be no moon tonight
And the stars won' t light the sky
There are women on the streets
But there's no loving in their eyes
Feeling weary, tired and wishing
I was standing in your doorway now
There'll be dancing flames
Something better cooking slow, perfume heavy
And all the lanterns turned down slow
Oh that lucky, oh that lucky man
Who's standing in your doorway now
I'm a wandering man, you'll never tie me down
Lifelong sailor, but how I wish I was homeward bound
At this moment, tired and wishing
I was standing at your doorway now
If you were me
And I was you
If you had to play my part out
What would you do
Two crazy stories,
Two different views
If you were me
And I was you
If you were me
And I was you
What kind of crazy things
Would I have to do
Who likes to party
Who stays at home
If you were me
And I was you
Never like strangers
Though never the same
Two circus side-shows
And laughter in the rain
You stay with the full moon
You search for the stars
Thank God it's heaven
Here we both are
If you were me
And I was you
If you had to play my part out
What would you do
Two crazy stories,
Two different views
If you were me, if you were me
If you were me and I was you
Charlie was a loser till that sunny day
No-one saw him leaving as he sailed away
Treated like a sinner, no-one gave a damn
Till Charlie threw two sixes
Now he's got them in his hand
Now they're waiting in line to go dancing with Charlie
They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie
No-one seems to know how
No-one seems to care
Doesn't really matter just as long as you are there
Party in the moonlight, free drinks at the bar
You can bet what's in your pocket that Charlie won't be far
Now they're waiting in line to go dancing with Charlie
They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie
Charlie bought a jet plane, Charlie rides the sky
Friends appear from nowhere, Charlie gets them high
Big D was a gambler with everything to lose
Charlie didn't have anything
So he didn't have to choose
And they're waiting in line to go dancing with Charlie
They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie
And they're standing in line to go dancing with Charlie
They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie
Born and raised in wilderness
Of suburban shops and schools
How she tried and tried to be satisfied
With a job on the typing pool
She hated the smell of carbon paper
The office so smoky and dry
How she longed for the day she would make her get away
And say her last goodbye
Bows and bangles on her fingers
And silver bells on her toes
That lady has music where she wonders
That lady has music where she goes
Married a guy with prospects
And so became his wife
And that my friend is the end of the story
'Cos that was the rest of his life
She could have been a movie star
She could have made the scene
Right or wrong she still hangs on
Each night to her favourite dream
Bows and bangles on her fingers
And silver bells on her toes
That lady has music where she wonders
That lady has music where she goes
In the silence of the side street
In the whisper of the night
From the darkness of the empty hours
To the early morning light
From the hustle down on main street
With all it's lights so bright
To the trucker on the highway
Pressing through the night
I can hear you heartbeat
I can hear you heartbeat
Girl, the sound of you is so sweet
I'm in a European disco
And it's thumping up the beat
There's a jukebox in a cafe‚
Where the younger ones can meet
We got freezing Coca-Cola
We got anything you want
I'm moving on that back beat
Girl, but it's you that sings the song
'Cos I can hear you heartbeat
I can hear you heartbeat
The sound of you is so sweet
And I'm sailing on your wind song
Oh, I can feel the summer breeze
You've got me walking on my tiptoes
You've got me standing on my knees
From the mills way down in Pittsburgh
To the clubs of gay Paris
No matter where I roam, girl,
You can always get to me
And I still hear your heartbeat
Yea I still hear your heartbeat
Girl, the sound of you is so sweet,
to me
* From the screaming desolation
* Of the English northern coast
* That's where I met my darling
* That's where we made the most
* Made the most of what we got
* We made the most of what we got
And I still hear your heartbeat
Yea I still hear your heartbeat
Girl, the sound of you is so sweet,
to me
(Marked part only live in Montreaux 1986)
All change on the merry go line
Everybody looking, for a sign
Jumping up and down, when the switch goes on
Nobody knows where it's coming from
I'm here watching, keeping well away
I'm going to live it in my own way
No mister! Not me!
I'm staying here, where it's nice and free
In deep water
I see the captain on a distant shore
He's got a dream, he wants to make it law
He's got my number, he's got a plan
He'll try to get you, any way he can
He wants to own everything he sees
But while I'm out there, well he ain't with me
Singing...
No mister!
No way!
I got my own
Deep water
Faith for reasons still unknown
Like 'Bleak House fog' seems everywhere
The truth has frozen into stone
And hope lies freezing in the midnight air
Though dark our days may seem
This is a different dream
Their freedom light don't shine at all
So I will light a candle for you
Keep it burning in the night
And pray that you are all right
I will light a candle for you
Little candle burning bright
When school yard heroes disappeared
The little girl, she stands alone
Oh I believe you if you say
A prayer can help to get her home
So I will light a candle for you
Keep it burning in the night
And pray that you are all right
I will light a candle for you
Little candle burning bright
In the morning madness and the stabbing light
She pours the coffee and she says
"what was wrong with you last night? "
"dreams, just dreams my love, we're half asleep"
But the headline's on tennis
So it seems, everything's all right
There's a girl from the midwest, with a pretty face
Scratched where it itched, they said it was a disgrace
"i don't wanna go to work today
Wanna stay at home and watch that girl play"
Do you like tennis?
Yes I do
There are people in boats in the middle of the sea
Crying and dying like jews
Do you like tennis?
Freedom is the man with the red grenade
She ran out of gas, got beat and raped
Do you like tennis?
Well do you like tennis?
Yes I do
The road to hell (part 2)
Well I'm standing by a river
But the water doesn't flow
It boils with every poison you can think of
And I'm underneath the streetlight
But the light of joy I know
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows
And the perverted fear of violence
Chokes the smile on every face
And common sense is ringing out the bellc
This ain't no technological breakdown
Oh no, this is the road to hell
And all the roads jam up with credit
And there's nothing you can do
It's all just bits of paper flying away from you
Oh look out world, take a good look
What comes down here
You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the road
Said this is the road
This is the road to hell
Well I'm stood out with my brother
On a tree lined avenue
I see the strangest little creature
Coming into my view
And I say to mysef, I say
Man I'm going to get me some
Of that bright little angel
Shines like the morning sun
Well my brother steps in
Faster than light
Sweet talks this angel
Clean out of sight
Say hey you
You with that look in your eye
Hey you
You with that look in your eye
She moves like a river
From her head down to her toes
Less a way of walking
More a total flow
And I say to myself I wonder
Oh I wander if she knows
What she's doing to me and my brother
From our heads down to our toes
Well he's up there on the corner now
Playing up "The Romeo"
Like only he know how
Say hey you
You with that look in your eye
Hey you
The gas-lamp flickers in the night
And jingle-jangles in the wind
The pool-hall cowboys play and play
'Cos pool-hall hot shots don't go home
And a lonely breeze sends shivers
From a distant shore
Since I don't see you anymore
The morning curtains gently sway
A gap throws light across the room
You curse that noisy radio
Even when you turn it down
It tells us bad news of a distant war
And I don't see you anymore
Since I didn't see you
Since I didn't see you
Since I don't see you anymore
No me da un bledo si senor
Since I don't see you anymore
I've always got time for one more
Since I don't see you anymore
And a lonely breeze sends shivers
From a distant shore
And the tears fall faster now love
Much more than before
Since I don't see you anymore
Sing a song of love to me
Sing a song of love to me
As the shadows start to grow
And I won't be sad and lonely
Anymore
'Cos if you sing a song of love to me
I will always find a smile
That will warm my cold, cold heart
Just for a while
Songs of love I know so well
Yea, I've seen some days and had some times
Lucky boy I can hear you say
You think my sun does nothing but shine
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
Don't ask me how long baby it's gonna take
I don't know honey, just give it a break
Love don't happen to you overnight
You got to feed it, leave it
Give it some light
Oh love, true love
When it looks like you're winning
Get it right on tee
And the stars shine so brightly
Just for you and me
For ever and ever babe
Is that what it takes?
For ever and ever babe
Is that when it stays for you and me?
With every ray of sunshine sugar
There's little bit of rain
You got to take the bad times with the good times
'Cos no love's the same
Oh love, true love
When it looks like you're winning
Get it right on tee
And the stars shine so brightly
Just for you and me
For ever and ever babe
Is that what it takes?
For ever and ever babe
That's when it stays
When you've found your star love will know just who you are
For ever and ever she'll stay
For ever and ever babe
Is that what it takes?
For ever and ever babe
Is that when it stays?
Sat out a card game in a motel room
Don't let the muzak drive you crazy late at night
They tell me it's all part of the deal I'm in
Well I close my eyes, put memory into sight
Every time I see you smile
Now the lady tabs your case, leaves you thinking
An hour or so: I hope she's right on time
And you dream away your touchdown destination
Now single file and put yourself back in line
But oh, every time I see you smile
Now this old world don't give much for choosing
You can spend a lifetime driving yourself wild
But I can take its punches laughing - don't mind losing
Just as long as I get to see you smile every once in a while
Sweet serenade, in your shade
May I rest
Just for a while, won't stay long
I'll do my best
To help you help me to find some friends
That I have lost
Who lie in lands where memories
And dreams are lost
The breeze that blew around her hair that day
The timeless dress that flowed in endless sway
I almost touched her shoulder, she almost turned to face me
A thousand distant summers... away
It's all become a fantasy
She sits and reads about Tiffany's
I moan all day about the state of the world
And the sun beats down
Her book if full of pastel shades
Filigree Femmes in lusts of jade
While all around the bullets flew
And the sun beats down
Oh heavy heart, as deep as the endless sea
A thought for every fish, why don't you let them be
Your book's so frivol, but I'm tired of mine
Show me some
Make me laugh and make me sing
Dancing girls
Make me laugh and make me sing
Dancing girls
So many years but nothing's changed
We curse the fire but we still feed it's flames
My cards repeating the same sad song
Why don't you put them down?
Tonight is young, as young as she needs to be
There's room for love, as much as there needs to be
Show me a drink, show me a smile
Show me some
Make me laugh and make me sing
Dancing girls
Make me laugh and make me sing
Dancing girls
I come home from work
I see my little girl
She's crying on the floor
She's been watching that TV
This ain't late no
This ain't even dinner time
To show them things on that screen
What's wrong with you
You must be evil
Oh I know why you do it
You're just looking for sensation
You got a hold of something
You tell us that it's news
You don't have to show that stuff
Can't you show us some respect
You can tell us we don't need to see it
We don't need those cheap effects
You must be evil
You must be evil
I wish you were here
You don't have to show that stuff
You ain't fooling no one
You made my little girl cry
I wish you were here
We all know why you do it
Sometimes you even slow it down
You giving out some bad ideas here
I can't believe that you don't realise
Diamond dream when the sun don't shine
I close my eyes to see
Twelve wild horses in silver chains
Calling out to me
Oh Daytona, shine your light on me
Oh daytona, shine your light on me
Now she ain't easy so you take good care
Or she will scream down on your lust
She can please you like no other
Or she can leave you eating dust
Oh Daytona, shine your light on me
Burning passion heat my day
Let me sit inside your wonder
Cloudless daydream, oh dance of dances
To have tamed the sound of thunder
Oh Daytona, shine your light on me
Oh Daytona, shine your light on me
Shine your light on me
Daytona, Daytona, Daytona
Between the eyes of love, I call your name
Behind those guarded walls, I used to go
Upon a summer wind there's a certain melody
Takes me back to the place that I know
On the beach, yea yea yea
Down on the beach, yea
The secrets of the summer, I will keep
The sands of time will blow a mystery
No one but you and I, underneath that moonlit sky
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach, yea yea yea
Oh, down on the beach
Yea, down on the beach
On the beach, yea yea yea
On the beach
Forever in my dreams my heart will be
Hanging on to this sweet memory
A day of strange desire and a night that burned like fire
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach, yea yea yea
Oh, down on the beach
Yea, down on the beach
On the beach, yea yea yea
On the beach, yea
A little bit of daylight
Shines on my pillow
It comes through my window pane
Speak of the morning
Hope is eternal
Better to look at it this way
This could be my lucky day
It's crazy that I hear you say
This could be my lucky day
A glass filled with crystals
Six million rainbows
Gifted to see with children's eyes
Always a small change
Of shooting that rainbow
Bless this dawn with sweet surprise
This could be my lucky day
It's crazy that I hear you say
This could be my lucky day
No inhibitions, naive forever
Better looking up than looking down
Don't try to beat it, twist and defeat it
Leave those kind of complications
Never to be found
This could be my lucky day
It's crazy that I hear you say
Take a look what's be going on behind me
I swear to God this ain't no making of my own
That stupid cupid arrow
Lost for years and never found me
Now she's dancing on my history
And she drives the dagger home
'Cos when I see that angel walking past my window
When I see that angel walking past my door
I know what this tired old heart's been waiting, waiting for
Boom boom
Boom boom
And I can't win
There ain't no us denying
So many years of experience
Tell me it's so
That stupid cupid arrow
Lost for years and never found me
Now she's dancing on my history
And she drives the dagger home
'Cos when I see that angel walking past my window
When I see that angel walking past my door
I know what this tired old heart's been waiting, waiting for
Boom boom
Boom boom
Black dog barking in the cold grey light
He pulls the chain and he pulls it tight
This ain't no lonesome wail that boy ain't faking
He bites the steel and he claws the ground
He pulls again and he spins around
His eyes are raging and his burning lungs are steaming
He wanna walk in the sun
Feel love like anyone
No one knows that black dog better than I
I said no one knows that black dog better than I
When I see his running I can see me
Teeth in the collar and he's tearing it free
Spit out the leather and the cold studs that kept you from singing
Run till you're bleeding run till you're hot
till the memory of all this you've long since forgot
Run till forever till the bells of your freedom are ringing
He wanna walk in the sun
Feel love like anyone
No one knows that black dog better than I
I said no one knows that black dog better than I
