Clyde Fitch
Clyde Fitch (May 2, 1865 – September 4, 1909) was an American dramatist, the most popular writer for the Broadway stage of his time (c. 1890-1909).
Biography
Born in Elmira, New York, and educated at Holderness School and Amherst College, William Clyde Fitch wrote over sixty plays, thirty-six of them original, ranging from social comedies and farces to melodrama and historical dramas.
His father, Captain William G. Fitch, a graduate of West Point and a Union officer in the Civil War, encouraged his son to become an architect or to engage in a career of business, but his mother, Alice Clark, in whose eyes he could do no wrong, always believed in his artistic talent. (For her son's final resting place, she would hire the architectural firm of Hunt & Hunt to design the sarcophagus set inside an open Tuscan temple at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx.) Fitch graduated from Amherst in 1886, where he was a member of Chi Psi Fraternity. As an undergraduate, "he dazzled his fellow students with his flair for dress and his virtuosity as an amateur actor."

Hold on to the moment
When there's something brewing in the sky
Come on, there's too much distance
Seperating you and I
But there's no real reason
Take what you can get, she's never asking why
Now, I know, thats's treason
I'm shaking and moving and it's all because of you
(Chorus)
And I feel something
What you feel boy, the heat
Oh, I feel something
What you feel boy, the beat
(Verse 2)
Break in
To the system
These walls between us are just way too high
Bend light
In a prism
Seven colors flashing in your eyes
You must try
To escape it
Boy, you'll never ever see the lie
If you buy
My Story
I'll take you and I'll move you
And I hope you think it's true
(Chorus) x2
(Vocal intermission)
