Gentleman in Black

Sanoitukset

[Verse 1] Motorcycle rolling down the quiet boulevard Black suit tailors make the leather look hard Dog at his side, drinking water from a bowl Quiet in the room, but a fire in his soul Subway rider with a heavy leather bag Doesn't need a billboard or a flashy little flag Just a nod and a smile to the people passing by Steady as a mountain underneath the gray sky [Chorus] He's the phantom in the darkness, the gentleman in black Takes every heavy hit and he never turns back Walking through the shadows with a heart made of gold The coolest story that was ever told Yeah, Keanu's in the building, single hand on the wheel Real recognize real, yeah, real recognize real [Verse 2] Matrix falling in a torrent on the screen Dodge the neon bullets like a ghost in the machine Neon signs flashing over continental hall Pencil on the table, standing ten feet tall Gives away the paycheck, buys the crew a bike Simple kind of living that the legends really like No big speech, no heavy-handed throne Just a craftsman working in the battle zone [Chorus] He's the phantom in the darkness, the gentleman in black Takes every heavy hit and he never turns back Walking through the shadows with a heart made of gold The coolest story that was ever told Yeah, Keanu's in the building, single hand on the wheel Real recognize real, yeah, real recognize real [Bridge] Soft-spoken giant in a world full of noise Never lost his temper, never played with toys Respect for the stuntmen, respect for the crew Does it for the love of the work he gotta do [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] He's the phantom in the darkness, the gentleman in black Takes every heavy hit and he never turns back Walking through the shadows with a heart made of gold The coolest story that was ever told Yeah, Keanu's in the building, single hand on the wheel Real recognize real, yeah, real recognize real [Outro] Just a nod, just a smile Been a long, long mile Keep rolling, John Yeah, keep rolling on [Fade Out]
