Paroles
Well the wife went out of town 'bout a year or so back
And left me at home by myself to batch
And after five straight nights of TV I was ready to scream
So I called up this beer drinkin' buddy of mine
I said, «Bill, I ain’t havin' a real good time»
He said, «Why don’t we go to the rasslin' matches
And let off a little steam?»
The main event was the Spider from parts unknown
With his trusty partner, the Blue Cyclone
They was takin' on a team that never had been beat
Now I’d never seen the matches before
And the crowd was backed up plumb out the door
But me an' ol' Bill lucked out and got ringside seats
Well then they rang the bell and all Hell broke loose
My legs was shakin' like a rubber goose
I’d never seen anything like this, not even in the war!
The Cyclone put the Vulture in an airplane spin
Then he body slammed him and he did it again
I swear, I didn’t see how that old boy could take much more
It was right about then in the thick of things
My buddy Bill threw a chair in the ring
And that’s when I knew we’d better be headin' for the door
'Cause I saw the Cyclone lookin' at us And he was rubbin' his head and he started to cuss
And I knew if he caught us he’d break Bill’s neck for sure
Well, where we parked wasn’t too far
And Bill ran so fast he beat me to the car
Locked the doors and wasn’t about to let anybody in And I turned around and the Cyclone was there
And he said, «Hey punk, you forgot your chair!»
And by the look in his eyes, I knew that this was the end
Then he body slammed me two or three times
And he put his arms around me from behind
Then he pile drived me right there in the hard concrete
Broke both my arms and three of my ribs
It’s the closest, I’ve ever come to being killed
And that’s the last thing, I remember 'fore he put me to sleep
Blue Cyclone
Blue Cyclone
Well, I woke up in a hospital bed just thinkin'
I believe I coulda took him if I hadn’t been drinkin'
So the next time we meet, I won’t be on no binge
'Cause I hadn’t been the same since we had that fight
And I see that Cyclone in my dreams at night
And I’ll never be satisfied 'til I get revenge
So I called up Bill and told him my plan
And all he said was, «Right on, man!
I’d do the same darn thing if it’d been me It all happened so quick when that car door slammed
It must a broke somethin', 'cause the door locks jammed
You was already down, he’s gone time I got free»
Bill said, «Since you’re thinkin' 'bout takin' him again
I know two ol' boys that weigh 210
They’d take on a grizzly with a switch in the woods at night»
Well, we talked it over, they said they’s willin'
They’d stop at nothing, short of a killin'
Said, «Hoss, we’ll back you as long as you wanna fight»
So we all went down to the Hammerlock Bar
The hangout of all the rasslin' stars
And waited for the Blue Cyclone to hit the door
Well, after a while, he finally appeared
And sat down at the bar and ordered a beer
And he barely took a sip 'fore I stepped to the middle of the floor
I yelled, «Hey Cyclone! Remember me?
I’m the guy you put to sleep
Only this time, you can see I’m not alone, ha ha You see them two big dudes over there?»
The Cyclone looked and said, «Over where?»
And I turned around, I’m a son of a gun, they was gone!
Well, the Cyclone looked at me and grinned
He said, «Okay punk, here we go again
Seems to me that some guys never learn»
And then he waded through them tables and chairs
Put a full-nelson on me and grabbed my hair
And when he threw me to the floor, I was startin' to get concerned
The next thing I remember, they was carryin' me in And the doctor said, «Oh no, you again?»
I said, «Doctor, how long you think it’ll be this time?»
He said, «Boy, if you don’t leave the Cyclone alone
One of these days, you ain’t goin' home!
You’ll need the undertaker’s services, not mine»
Blue Cyclone
He’s the meanest wrestler the ring has ever known
He’ll make you groan, he’ll make you moan
He’ll lay you prone and break your bones
Blue Cyclone
The Blue Cyclone
Traduction des paroles
La femme a quitté la ville il y a environ un an
Et m'a laissé à la maison par moi-même de lot
Et après cinq nuits consécutives de télévision j'étais prêt à crier
Alors j'ai appelé mon pote buveur de bière
J'ai dit: «Bill, Je ne m'amuse pas vraiment»
Il a dit: "Pourquoi ne pas aller aux matchs de rasslin
Et de lâcher un peu de vapeur?»
L'événement principal était L'Araignée de parts unknown
Avec son fidèle partenaire, le Cyclone Bleu
Ils faisaient partie d'une équipe qui n'avait jamais été battue
Maintenant, je n'avais jamais vu les matchs avant de
Et la foule a été repoussée à la porte
Mais moi un " ol " Bill a eu de la chance et a obtenu des sièges ringside
Il a sonné la cloche et tout l'Enfer s'est déchaîné
Mes jambes tremblaient comme une oie en caoutchouc
Je n'avais jamais rien vu de Tel, même à la guerre!
Le Cyclone a mis le vautour dans une rotation d'avion
Puis il a claqué le corps et il l'a fait à nouveau
Je te jure, je n'ai pas vu comment ce vieux garçon pouvait en prendre plus
Il était juste à ce moment là au cœur des choses
Mon pote Bill a jeté une chaise sur le ring
Et c'est là que j'ai su que nous ferions mieux de nous diriger vers la porte
Parce que j'ai vu le Cyclone nous regarder et il se frottait la tête et il a commencé à jurer
Et je savais que s'il nous attrapait il briserait le cou de Bill
Eh bien, où nous nous sommes garés n'était pas trop loin
Et Bill a couru si vite qu'il m'a battu jusqu'à la voiture
J'ai fermé les portes et j'étais sur le point de laisser entrer personne et je me suis retourné et le Cyclone était là
Et il a dit: «Hé punk, tu as oublié ta chaise!»
Et par le regard dans ses yeux, je savais que c'était la fin
Puis il m'a claqué deux ou trois fois
Et il a mis ses bras autour de moi par derrière
Puis il m'a pilonné dans le béton dur
Cassé les deux bras et trois de mes côtes
C'est le plus proche, je suis jamais venu à être tué
Et c'est la dernière chose, je me souviens avant qu'il m'ait endormi
Cyclone Bleu
Cyclone Bleu
Eh bien, je me suis réveillé dans un lit d'hôpital juste thinkin'
