NEO (to the tune of "Rio" by Duran Duran)
Lyrics by Paul Estin © 2002 (v. 2003-Feb9)

Em C Am7 C
Em C A C
Em C Am7 C   Moving through the world now, well he's dressing very mod
Em C A C     But soon he'll learn he's just a body in a pod
Em C Am7 C   Follow the White Rabbit; it was really a tattoo
Em C A C     And now he must choose ‘tween the red pill and the blue...

             {Chorus:}
Em
E B D A      His name is Neo and he dances in the air
E B D A      With digital effects that make you stop and stare
E B D A      And when he fights, he really shows those flying kicks
E B D A      Oh Neo, Neo dance across the whole Matrix

Em C Am7 C
Em C A C
Em C Am7 C   He awoke and met everyone in Morpheus's crew
Em C A C     They trained and programmed him and now "I know kung fu"
Em C Am7 C   Running up the walls, dodging bullets from a gun
Em C A C     Does a killer backbend and he just might be the One!

             {Chorus}

{Bridge} {original has sax solo over ||: C#m  A   F#  A :||}

Em C Am7 C   Hey now! (Whoo!) Look at that, you know "There is no spoon."
Em C A C     At the end of Act Five, the agents arrive, he'll try to stay
                  alive alive
Em C Am7 C   Aliiiiiive... it's control that he achieves!
Em C A C     It's a kick-ass movie, even with Keanu Reeves!

             {Chorus}

E B D A      His name is Neo, and I know now, he's the One
E B D A      Now he's got Trinity; but gravity he shuns
E B D A      This film was such a hit, nothing that year was its equal
E B D A      So now you know for sure, they've gotta make a sequel! (*)

E B D A...   Di do, do do do do / Di do, do do do do






(*) Sometimes I sing "two sequels" and/or vamp on the concept a little.
