Dancing With The Dead Mama, tell the girls I’m gone To where the wicked don’t get no rest Living 9 to 5 is for the broken hearted I don’t fear no love, beauty is just a test Midnight keeps falling too early The weekend keeps on coming too fast I been taking my steps downtown at The Roxy I sold my soul just to make it last Sweet Lucy comes walking closer next to me And by the lights off the mirrorball I finally see She ain’t so pretty, not like what those other ghouls say “I’m sorry Lucy,” I turn my head and walk away Dancing, I’ve been dancing Dancing with the dead Sliding, I keep sliding further Guess it’s time that I check my head Get away is what you say But it don’t matter much to me now These souls that I hang with are the living dead And it’s too late, I’m buried 6 feet down As the nightbreed fall upon the city streets The dying crawl out from underneath their shelter from the heat They drain your lifeline, they tell you that you got to stay Goodnight sunlight, into the dark I fade away CHORUS SOLO Bury everything I know, everything I say CHORUS OUT
2.	Heart Of Gold 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Heart Of Gold I was born with the mark of the devil’s luck Blessed with a life busted, I’m hurt, I’m torn, I am struck Yesterday you were just a dream in my bed A gypsy angel calling to me from beyond the dead I been told only give your soul to a heart of gold I believe that a heart and soul are sacred to the love we breed I’d never doubt about finding you in my fate I walk this world knowing you could be only steps away I don’t know when, I guard the hope it ain’t long You are the part of me that keeps me young and holding on I been told only give your soul to a heart of gold I believe that a heart and soul are sacred to the love we breed You have got a heart of gold You have got a heart of gold You have got a heart of gold You know that I know SOLO I been told only give your soul to a heart of gold I believe that a heart and soul are sacred to the love we breed You been told only give your soul to a heart of gold And you believe that a heart and soul are sacred to the love we breed You have got a heart of gold You have got a heart of gold You have got a heart of gold You know that I know Sha na na..

Beautiful Losers I promised you sunsets, I brought the whole damn world down Broke down horses on this one way merry-go-round We were stars of a circus that’s been gone long from town Now we’re the only ones left as the fallout hits the ground You are young, you are true When I hold you, you got nothing to fear I never duck and run for cover Let the world know we stand right here Beautiful losers, beautiful losers Wrong way right, we are the beautiful losers Beautiful losers, don’t tell me why we are fools to cry We are the beautiful losers Love and theft don’t rule me like the heroes in Hollywood I’m raising an emotion, if you listen I know you could Honey I got a rocket, a vintage 409 under the hood Would you need a happy ending, if I took you away for good You are young, you are true When I hold you, you got nothing to fear I never duck and run for cover Let the world know we stand right here Beautiful losers, beautiful losers Wrong way right, we are the beautiful losers Beautiful losers, don’t tell me why we are fools to cry Fool to cry, we are the beautiful losers OUTRO

6.	Faraway 03:40	lyrics	buy track
Faraway The river had run from a faraway place Secrets carried deep within the water Wonderboy sang a lonely serenade Inspiration finally brought her He whispers her name, she holds her teddy tight From so faraway tonight The Princess appeared from a faraway place Dancing just like magic before Wonderboy Her diamond eyes held a future so bright A Soviet smile never left no choice He whispers her name, she holds her teddy tight From so faraway tonight Miles away, leagues away Another world away tonight Miles away, leagues away Another world away tonight Wonderboy still sings from a faraway place The Princess owns his thoughts, commands his heart tonight He whispers her name, and the music plays In her bed she holds her teddy tight From so faraway tonight From so faraway tonight From so faraway tonight He whispers her name, she holds her teddy tight
7.	Glory Road 04:51	lyrics	buy track
Glory Road I leave my baby in a sweet, blue dream Lying in our bed like a beauty queen There's pretty things living in the world, but it's too damn cold Out to the engine that I'll be riding Jet black steel in the moonlight shining My 5.0 is gonna get him down at Glory Road Glory Road, Glory Road Me and my pony riding to Glory Road Glory Road, Glory Road Terror running high riding down to Glory Road Gasoline burnin', got to find him soon The renegade demon by a blood, red moon He’s moving through the streets like a viper I am told An innocent target that he'll be trying Another God waiting to reap the dying 5.0 is gonna get him down at Glory Road Glory Road, Glory Road Me and my pony riding to Glory Road Glory Road, Glory Road Terror running high riding down to Glory Road SOLO I can remember back to better days The infidel was a world away Now a nation has grown too great, the villain too bold .45's loaded, I'm ready to rock Lead goin’ deep into his cold, hard heart 5.0 is gonna get him down at Glory Road Glory Road, Glory Road Me and my pony riding to Glory Road Glory Road, Glory Road Terror running high riding down to Glory Road Shut him up, shut him down, down, down Glory Road OUTRO
8.	Too Much 03:00	lyrics	buy track
Too Much I drove past the church today Ain’t nothing but a field of graves The cold winds of autumn steal my memories home I guess that’s something that I probably shoulda known It’s too much for me this time Too much this time Little Miss Foreverafter is long gone It’s too much for me this time Saluting swords marked the way Your old man cried when he gave you away A broke down man has gotta face his demons alone Feels like there’s something way back then everybody shoulda known Chorus An old, dead tree still standing against the wind Our names carved into it But the years are departed from when we held each other close Feels like there’s just one thing that I wish you coulda known Chorus – Miss Foreverafter is long, long gone Yeah, it’s too much for me this time Yeah, yeah

about

Recorded at the famous Metalworks Studios located in Toronto, Will assembled a dynamite squad of experienced talent to perform with him on his brand new self-produced album, Dancing With The Dead. It was a fresh adventure to be in the studio recording his original material with such an A-list group of players, and after Day 1 it was plain to see that something special was truly brewing. After a month of focused intensity (and some seriously good homemade chili!) the tracks were laid down, the mixing was done and Dancing With The Dead was born.

DWTD is a collection of originally written songs that display the hope and vitality of rock 'n roll as only Will can bring to life. From the exhilarating high of the title track to the desperate dreams of Senorita Ballerina, many of rock music's freeways and dirty corners are explored and brought to the light of day. Will's songwriting and performances showcase a genuine desire to bring his passion for music into the lives of others. His roots stem from the foundation of the many different artists that he grew up listening to while travelling across the planet.
