"Ladies and Gentlemen... Holly and the HeartBreakers!" The kid, riding the tiger, grabs the microphone, pumping it up, taking it higher, making it hotter, rounding the bend and racing for home.
They say I'm bad, But you know better.
Arranging her hair with a shake of her head, so that it falls about her shoulders, the kid spins around, spreads her legs wide, props her fists on her hips, beams a knowing smile, and sings-
And baby, baby, baby, I'm your heart's desire. The spotlight snaps off. The stage is black.
The crowd sits for a moment, as if they were stunned and catching their breath. And then they go totally wild!
