On November 25, 1991, I got a call from a friend telling me that Eric Carr, KISS' drummer, had just died. I was blown away. Flipping on MTV, my fears were confirmed. Dead at 41 years old... this really sucked. I made up my mind that moment that if the funeral was anywhere in New York I was going to it.

The 下一个 日 the New York Daily News reported Eric's death and info on where the funeral would be held. It would be in Middletown, NY. My grandparents live in Newburgh, NY, which is only about 10 miles from Middletown.

So the 日 after Thanksgiving, I left for NY. I live in Lawrence, Massachusetts...

Lookin' for a thrill, you'll get it my way

Under the gun - when the stakes are gettin' bigger
Under the gun - take aim and fire

I don't need a reason to get crazy, I'm gettin' crazy and that's enough
显示 me somethin' strange, I'll make it stranger
I swear that danger runs in my blood

Oh yeah! WOW!
Does it cut like a knife?
Heard it all before
Ain't nobody's fool
In the heat of the night

Hungry on the outside
Burning on inside
Don't make me beg for more... yeah

Can't feel the sting
Can't feel the bite
Don't give a damn
When lightning strikes

You know 你 can't see a thing
When you're looking through the eyes of love
Tell me once again now
Can't feel a thing when you're looking through the
eyes of

Did 你 put up a fight?
Had it all figured out
Always thought 你 had to be tough
Being tough ain't enough
Take this 心 of stone

On Monday Night, November 25, 1991, an obituary came over the AP wire “Kiss 鼓手 Eric Carr has died of complications brought on 由 cancer. Carr joined 吻乐队(Kiss) in 1980 after the departure of original 鼓手 Peter Criss, and recorded 8 albums with the band including last year’s ‘Hot in the Shade.’ Carr had suffered several setbacks since having a malignant tumor removed from his 心 earlier this year. He was 41.”

I ended up 阅读 this obituary 3 times to make sure it 说 what I thought it said. Eric Carr had passed away. 你 see, a few months back I had a chance to speak with Eric....

街, 街道 hustler comes up to me one 日
And I'm walkin' down the street, mindin' my own business
Now he looks me up and he looks me down and says
"Hey man, what be this" and "What be that" and "Why 你 gotta look like that?"
Well I just looked at him, I kinda laughed, I 说
Hey man, I am cool, I am the Breeze
Haven't 你 heard, there's a new revolution
Gotta spread the word - too much confusion

All hell's breakin' loose - 嘿 嘿 have 你 read the news
All hell's breakin' loose - overloadin' 'n' blowin' my fuse
All hell's breakin' loose - 日 and night, baby, night and 日
All hell's breakin'...

Never knew a 爱情 like this
Never knew a sweeter kiss
Never knew that look that's in your eyes
Baby, I can hardly wait
Now we're in the hands of fate
This is a 爱情 we can't disguise

I can't be dreaming
My mind is teeming
To think of heaven we'll explore
I try pretending
Tonight's not ending
It only makes me want 你 more

Chorus
Can 你 feel it?
How I want to 爱情 you
Can 你 feel it?
Oh oh oh
Can 你 feel it?
How I'm thinking of you
Can 你 feel it?

Girl, if we can talk all night
Maybe I'll explain this right
But I know words are not enough
I want to 显示 to you
That every word is true
You...

Ten million stories in the city, ten million backs against the wall
Desperation's out tonight, 你 can cut it with a knife
Everybody wants to have it all
Well they tell 你 that the world is rough
But they never rocked it hard enough

[Chorus:]
嘿 little Caesar, nobody messing with you
嘿 little Caesar, go 显示 'em what 你 can do

Nobody 说 that it was pretty, 你 haven't got a penny 或者 a prayer
你 know it's gonna be a fight, if 你 wanna see your name in lights
Ain't nobody gives a damn out there
Well 你 got your guts, 你 got your pride
But you'll never let them see inside

[chorus]

[Spoken:]
Well 你 don't believe in the 图书 and rules
'Cause 你 just believe in what 你 know is cool
Well they tell 你 that the world is rough
But they never rocked it hard enough - I can't hear you

They just don't understand, 你 gotta fight to be a man

[chorus]

嘿 little Caesar, oh yeah, that's what it is
嘿 little Caesar, yeah

Returning the memories tonight
To the time 你 were mine
Still burning, holding on tight
One 心 beat at a time...whoa
Ooh ooh let your hair down

Without your 爱情 is living a lie
But now I know we'll have it all tonight

Chorus
Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting for you
Somebody's waiting for your 爱情
Someone to hold you
Somebody's burning for you
Someone to know you
Won't 你 let me 显示 you?
Woohoo

We hold to 爱情 for all of our lives
And lonely fools they never survive
When it's all too much for 你 to go on
Just turn to me I'll be strong
你 can believe in 爱情
You can trust my heart...

I just can't pretend no more
I keep runnin' out of lies
Lovin' 你 is killin' me inside

Every time I find the words to end it
Something in your eyes won't let it

Shandi, tonight must last us forever
Forever we say goodnight and go home
But 你 know me very well and I know you
你 can't tell me goodnight

We been holding on so tight
We're afraid to let it go
Shake it loose, we both could use the ride

Here's another mess I got myself in
And when 你 touch me 你 ain't helpin'

Shandi, tonight must last us forever
Forever we say goodnight and go home
But 你 know me very well and I know you
你 can't tell me goodnight
Say goodnight when we should say goodbye, oo yeah

Shandi, tonight must last us forever and ever
Forever we say goodnight and go home
Shandi, Shandi, tonight must last us forever
