Digital Conundrum Special Issue - part 2-7
No Fear (Frank Parker's image song)
Performance Version - modified lyrics
[Frank came up to me with this song when I started writing this fic. He claimed that it mentioned his favorite beverage. Unfortunately, when I finally found the lyrics, I had to break it to him that it didn't. So I modified the lyrics to suit Frank, and now he's sneaked off to NNL to record the song. So here is Frank Parker and the cast of Seven Days performing the song No Fear by - you guessed it - Clay Crosse, the same guy who did the new ending theme.]
* I must note - anything that is in parenthesis () in the lyrics is sung by the Seven Days cast. *
No Fear
originally recorded by Clay Crosse; remixed by Frank Parker
{The stage lights up to show the hangar that houses the Sphere. Parker is standing by the computer equipment that surrounds it, and the rest of the cast is on the scaffolding that leads to the Sphere's hatch. Owsley and Ballard (he's an old school Seven Days character) are at a computer doing the computerized sounds. A crowd of frenzied teenagers are at the foot of the stage.}
Flipped on my TV
Images come to me
Looks like a world gone wrong
Turned on my radio
No, it's just another joe rock star just selling songs
We've got a quick fix automation
Another generation
Excellent at falling down
And a covetous inertia
Know it's getting worse
You know one day it's all gonna burn to the ground
If the river don't flow
And they all run dry
And stars start falling from the sky
Whatever
(Happens to me it is well with my soul)
Well, I have no fear
Because I know
That Parker rules
He's in control
Forever
Forever
Forever
Street corner prophet
Yeah, he's been talking
About the end of time
And I don't doubt it
'Cause I've heard about it
On a minidisk of mine
They say we're in a desperate condition
Pass the ammunition
Got to keep yourself alive
I say go protect your liver
I'll go meet my maker
I hold forever
There's no way I'm gonna die
If the river don't flow
And they all run dry
And stars start falling from the sky
Whatever
(Happens to me it is well with my soul)
Well, I have no fear
Because I know
That Parker rules
He's in control
Forever
Forever
Forever
*this part is sung by Donovan*
Don't fret up your soul
And vex up your mind
Heed the rhythm
'Cause it's right on time
What you gonna do when the world's on fire
Cling to things that will expire?
Run to the Sphere, the coast is clear
Just be careful of Ramsey's leer
Many trouble dem a come
In the life down here
But when the world's on fire
Have a hard cold beer
*End Donovan's fill in*
Are you gonna cry
When it all comes down?
(No! No! No!)
Are you gonna die
When it all comes down?
(No! No! No!)
Are you gonna fly
When it all comes down?
(How the heck could we?)
*Owsley and Ballard repeat the chorus a couple of times to ease the crowd while Parker takes a drink....*
[You could obviously tell where I modified the lyrics *laughs nervously*.... I apologize to Clay Crosse for doing that, but Frank really wanted them changed ever so slightly. If you want to see the original lyrics, you could go to www.claycrosse.com. It's in the discography for the CD A Different Man.
