Blues
by Leslie Brown
Lyrics
Intro
slow heavy bassline
dragging drum beat
deep, raspy sigh
[sassy talk] Mmm... yeah. You better drag that beat.
[vocal growl] Uh-huh.
Verse 1
Midnight is dripping... like hot black tar...
I’m sitting in the corner... of this smoky bar...
The room is spinning, but I’m glued to the floor
vocal bend
And my shaky hands... keep reaching out for more.
Pre-Chorus
tempto slowing down
It’s a heavy, heavy weight... pulling on my spine...
screaming ad-lib
And I’m about to cross that line!
Chorus
slow powerful belt
'Cause I’m looooosing... losing all control!
vocal growl
Oh, the devil's got a grip... right on my soul!
It’s too heavy to hold... too deep to fight...
ecstatic scream
Yeah, I’m letting go... of everything tonight!
Verse 2
gritty, raspy delivery
Don’t you try to save me... don't pull me to the light...
I want to feel the friction... of the dark tonight.
My heart is thumping like a bass drum in the mud
vocal bend
I got that wild, wicked fever pumping through my blood!
Chorus
slow powerful belt
'Cause I’m looooosing... losing all control!
deep vocal growl
Oh, the devil's got a grip... right on my soul!
It’s too heavy to hold... too deep to fight...
high-energy ad-lib
Yeah, I’m letting go... of everything tonight!
Guitar Solo
[slow, weeping, high-distortion blues guitar solo]
[vocal moaning, crying out, and raspy laughing over the music]
Outro
music stops, only slow thumping bass
Yeah... drag me down...
gasping for breath
Down in the mud...
deep sassy laugh
abrupt drop
