Dedicated to the Cube Man!



Sung to Juke Box Hero (obviously).
Cube out in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn't get a jersey he was too damn slow
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
Shim in the break made the young girls scream. 
Saw the power of the sprint just blew him away
He saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day

Bought a beat up ten speed, in a secondhand store
Didn't know how to ride it but he knew for sure
Those carbon bars felt good in his hands, didn't take long, to understand

Just one young man dropped way down low
The EPO was a one way ticket, only one way to go
So he started racin', ain't never gonna stop
Gotta keep on racin', someday he's gonna make it to the top

And be a cat 4 hero, got stars in his eyes, he's a cat four hero
He took one long pull,  cat four hero with stars in his eyes
Cat four hero (stars in his eyes) He'll come alive tonight

In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow, by the registration (or doping control) door, a trip through the pack, that race in the rain And that one big crit made and his whole life changed. Now he needs to keep on droppin, he just can't stop
Gotta keep on droppin the other boys haven't got a shot cuz.......

He's a cat four hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a cat four hero, got stars in his eyes
Yeah, cat four hero, stars in his eyes
With that one old bike (stars in his eyes)
He'll come alive, come alive tonight...Woah

Yeah, he's gotta keep on racing, just can't stop
Gotta keep on droppin  that boy has got to stay in the drops 

And be a cat four hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a cat four hero, got stars in his eyes
(Just one old bike) cat four hero, (aah aah aaah) got stars in his eyes
He's just a cat four hero, aah aah aaah
Cat four (stars) hero, (stars, stars) cat four hero, (stars, stars)
He's got stars in his eyes, stars in his eyes

Fred, I was wondering if Munson joined you on that last ride where you were dropping everyone. Anyway, did he give you that Hiromi Uehara CD? I need it back. The library has been calling as it's overdue and I owe a $38 fine or something.

I didn't see Munson on the last ride I went on with other people. I saw Jordon, Spence, Leah, Shim, Hiromi Uehara, Lucas Marshall, MOD and Brunt. I believe it was Brunt who actually dropped everybody. I was just trying to chase him down while everyone else was restrained by a small ringing MOD. Brunt is the true Cat 4 Hero. I'm only pretending. I like pretending. It's easier than training. Ms Uehara was immediately dropped - much like a CD loaned to Munson.

Great. Can I borrow $38 Shim?

By the way, wind your pocket watch. You're two hours behind

That's weird Brad cuz at 5:55 I was standing next to you in the fitness center.
