lyrics

Boxing’s trippy, like two kings with one crown.
They’ll beat each other till one hit’s the ground.
Pride and honor, strong feelings abound.
The art of fighting, there’s none so profound.

Endless training, that road’s hard and long.
Life’s a battle, sad is this song.
Some can’t take it, their will crumbles in.
A champion’s true strength always comes from within.

Fatal fight arena, the tone’s hot and loud.
Feeding frenzy, the will of the crowd.
Screaming silence, is the song that they sing.
Fate awaits them as they enter the ring.
Like two warriors, from a far distant past.
Ooh, pregloved, dangerous and fast.
Some might find it ugly, I wouldn’t say that to their face.
When you’re the king, you can make your own space.

Boxing’s trippy, as the first round begins.
Facing each other, a sweet science they’re in.
Nothing like it, it’s what the people demand.
I love boxing, it’s all done by hand.
It’s all done by hand.
It’s all done by hand.
It’s all done by hand.

The blood goes flying, the skin begins to tear.
Their hearts are pounding, lungs starving for air.
The crowd goes wild, as one pugilist hit’s the floor.
But he gets up and finds his way out through the door.

about

Sights of Sound Pico Rivera, California

Dave and George started this thing in 1983. From 85' to 87' we were lucky to get Norm, Art, and John involved, and we had a great run from 87' to 92'. We're all from the same area of Pico Rivera CA USA. The songs were written and recorded between 85' and 91'. The CD was finally completed in 2002. This project is dedicated to the memory of Norman Martinez, we miss him, and love him dearly. Thanks ... more
