Halo in the Speakers by Rich Silver

Put the ring around my voice.

Oh-oh, round my voice,
Oh-oh, wonder in my voice.
Oh-oh, round my voice,
Put the ring around my voice
wonder, wonder

Put the ring around my voice.

I step up close where the old mic leans,
Collar catching heat, heartbeat clean.
Speaker cone breathing at the side of the room,
Whole floor pulsing like it already knows my tune.
Chain on my chest, yeah, I move so smooth and sweet.
They came for the gloss, the flash, the pose,
But I came to make the whole world wonder…
(Teddy Wonder)
when I open up the frequency.

Every little spike on the waveform says
I was almost quiet, but not today.
Let the room lean in, let the rafters shake,
I turn every eye into a wavelength.

Oh-oh, round my voice,
Oh-oh, wonder in my voice.
Oh-oh, round my voice,
Put the ring around my voice
wonder, wonder
(Teddy Wonder)

(Teddy Wonder)

I know the weight of wearing that crown,
But I wear it sexy, wear it smooth, never back down.
My smile’s got polish but it still got bite,
Sweet on the surface, sensational at night.
Old chrome mic with a witness face
Picks up the sweat and the superstar taste.
Crowd in the back like a flickering fuse,
You’ll wonder why you never felt a groove like this
now you do

Every little spike on the waveform says
Pressure turns to rhythm when you let it stay.
Let the room lean in, let the rafters shake,
I turn every eye into a wavelength.

I got a halo in the speakers,
A pulse wrapped ’round my name.
When the bassline hits my collar,
I don’t stand the same.
Turn me up till the ceiling
Learns the shape I make.
I got a halo in the speakers,
Put the ring around my voice
wonder who.
’Cause Beyonce said, f you like it, then you should put a ring on it.
So put a ring, around, my voice.

Put that ring, ring, around my voice.
Signal jumps, and the room makes noise.
Ring, ring, round my voice.
Wonder, wonder
(Teddy Wonder)

(Wonder why, wonder high, let your wonder wander and put a ring around that voice, wonder who.)
(Teddy Wonder)

Under all the shine, I’m still skin and air,
Still counting breaths, but baby, I don’t care.
No one sees the sweet war inside each note,
How a throat can turn a burden into voltage.
I don’t need a throne, I don’t need a vow,
Just this old mic warm when the room gets loud.
I was almost quiet, but not today
Now you wonder how you never heard me this way
it’s a wonder.
(Teddy Wonder)

Put the ring around my voice
wonder who.
“Cause if you like it, then you should’a put’a ring on it.”
“Cause if you like it, then you should’a put’a ring on it.”

Oh-oh, round my voice,
Oh-oh, wonder ’round my voice.
Oh-oh, round my voice,
Put the ring around my voice
wonder, wonder, it’s me, it’s Wonder.

(Wonder who, wonder me, wonder you, wonder what this Wonder gonna do… Wonder, Teddy Wonder.. )

Put the ring around my voice…
Wonder who…
I got a halo in the speakers,
wonder you…
A pulse wrapped ’round my name.
Teddy Wonder
