We broke thru the plastic (well, maybe there's a few pieces hanging off of us still)
And now the tunnel presents itself.
The tunnel of life.
What will you transform on the other side?
We are here to guide you.
Hopefully, The Influencer is not trying to sway you.
Don't listen to her!
Hurry - crawl thru.
Use your able body.

Commentary:
"The concept was 'inspired' by my father's struggle with the ferocious disease of Parkinson's and the notion of not being able to control one's own body." - Kym Priess, Ringleader of STDR
Any proceeds from this song go to the Capital Area Parkinson's Society, an organization that has been very supportive of Kym's dad. You can make a direct donation to them on his behalf so they may continue to serve those in need. His name is Dan Priess. www.capitalareaparkinsons.org/support-caps-efforts/donate/
The chorus chants...
"I wanna move my legs normal - don't wanna move no more!"
When the song was presented at the debut immersive production of STDR, audience members were prompted to crawl thru a literal tunnel - using their capable bodies, evoking the concept of personal transformation and hope.
The "transformation tunnel" lives on today in STDR live shows at a music venue near you :)

Trapped in a body that I can’t control
Trapped in a body / it’s the way that it goes
Trapped in a body that I can’t control
How it became / nobody knows
Oh Oh Ah Ah Oh Oh
Hey
Trapped in a body I can’t control
Trapped in a body / they tell you move slow
Trapped in a body I can’t control
Baby blame, everyone knows
I wanna move my legs normal
Dance - move - go
I wanna move my legs normal
Don’t wanna move no more
Oh Oh Ah Ah Oh Oh
Hey
Trapped in a body I can’t control
Trapped in a body go on must the Show
Trapped in a body I can’t control
Too late to be lame / too late to be tame /
too late to be sane / you’re the same in your brain
Trapped in a body you can’t control
Trapped in a body you can’t control /
You’re outta control
I wanna move my legs normal
Dance - move - go
I wanna move my legs normal
Don’t wanna move no more
No More No More No More No More No More No More
No More No More No More No More No More No More
I wanna dance
Move my hands
I’m gonna dance
Move my hands
Move my hands
I wanna move my legs normal
Dance - move - go
I wanna move my legs normal
Don’t wanna move no more
I wanna move my legs normal
Dance - move - go
I wanna move my legs normal
Don’t wanna move no more
Oh, no, save me, I can’t control

STUNTDRIVER is an LA-based performance-driven genre-bending rock spectacle that is straddling music and art crowds with its
“Diva” Knievel-style white racecar suits, gold helmets, painted faces, Janet Jackson-esque choreography, camp aesthetics and bass-driven, dark-synth laced heavy electro-art rock that makes everyone feel like they’re on the same punk rock adventure together. ...more
