Balls of the Feet

Posted on April 29, 2024June 21, 2024 by admin

Words by Chris Brouse

[Rap Vocals]
[Intro]
The irate shopper leaned onto the balls of his feet
[Break]
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Drum Fills]

[Rap Vocals]
[Verse 1]
The irate shopper leaned onto the balls of his feet
As he spoke, punctuating each syllable
by repeatedly stabbing a dagger-like finger
in the direction of the salesman’s face.
[Heavy Drop]
onto the balls of his feet
[Break]
[Bridge]
Although Madelyn could hear the words,
she didn’t register their meaning.
She didn’t need to, though.
[Heavy Drop]
[Chorus]
The stranger’s tone said more than the words
… leaving his mouth ever could.
The stranger’s tone said more than the words
… leaving his mouth ever could.

[Outro]
The stranger’s tone said more than the words
… leaving his mouth ever could…
onto the balls of his feet
[End]

Wanting More

Posted on March 3, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
The bright lights eternal allure
Edge of my seat wanting more
Leave them there
Overtly aware
They’re wanting more
“What’s in store?”
Stomp your feet
Clap your hands
Sing along, “One more song!”

Light up nights at my core
Edge of the seat wanting more

Souls take flight
Audience roar
Stand on my seat
Wanting more

Out of sight
Last encore
Show so sweet
Wanting more

LYRICS
You do the hoochie coo
You do, you do, you do
You do the hoochie coo
Held together with cosmic glue
Now knowing what I knew
La de da de da da de do

Better than the voodoo
You do, you do, you do
Better than the voodoo
Held together… interstellar glue
Now knowing what I knew
La de da de da da de do

No way to feel blue
Thank you, thank you, thank you
No way to feel blue
Held together… celestial glue
Now knowing what I knew
La de da de da da de do

Surprise Party

Posted on February 19, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Arrive at the doorstep
A secret that’s well kept
A surprise is due for you
An innovation in invitation
Rehearsing in reverse
A meditation in activation
Arrive to bring it alive

We’ll bring our own party
Can hardly be tardy
A surprise is due for you

Well how did you like it
We hope quite a good bit
The surprise was due for you

In Them Thar Hills

Posted on February 4, 2020February 18, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Damn! In them thar hills
Lays the cure for all that ills
Going to make that mine all mine
From now till The End of Time
Headed for golden ore
Opened door
Tempting lure
On the quest for some more
Fell afoul to the core

Do you know what I mean?
Their grass is (always) more green
So, I’m going to search for gold
Till I grow tired, weary, and old
Headed for golden ore
Opened door
Tempting lure
On the quest for some more
Fell afoul to the core

Running on and On….

Posted on January 26, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Get up at the crack of dawn
With my baby
Get up at the crack of dawn
Little lady
Running on and on
Into the rising sun

Well upon our way
By mid-day
Well upon our way
By mid-day
Running on and on
Under a high-noon sun

Coming to the end of the line
With my baby
Coming to the end of the line
Little lady
Running on and on….
Into the setting sun

Drop And Roll

Posted on January 20, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Better drop and roll
Like a rock
You’re on fire
Pieces make a whole
Key the lock
Take us higher
(You’re on fire)
Long live rock and here’s the thing
Rock and roll is still the king
And, she’s not alone if you know what I mean
Ole’ time blues is still her queen
Long live rock
Drop and roll
Round the clock
Drop and roll

Static Electricity

Posted on December 23, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
See static electricity
Flowing free… ly (really)
You might say they rub the wrong way
Yet they ignite the light
That magical energy
Sure is shocking to me (really)

See static electricity
Flowing free… ly (really)
You might say they rub the wrong way
Yet they bring a spark to the dark
You might say they rub the wrong way
Yet they arouse a reflex
You might say they rub the wrong way
Yet they espouse to expose the perplex
That magical energy
Sure is shocking to me (really)

Close Enough for Rock n’ Roll

Posted on December 18, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Close enough for rock n’ roll
That classical practice
Is taking its toll
Yeah, I’ve got the Beethoven blues
Got to part with Mozart
Have you heard the news
Contrived is on the dive
Rock is alive!

Close enough for rock n’ roll
That mechanical heartless
Is taking its toll
Yeah, I’ve got the beat loop blues
Got to part with the no heart
Have you heard the news
Contrived is on the dive
Rock is alive!

This is a trip I’ve never been on before
Tomorrow turned today
Faucet drip… clock tock

On our way till tomorrows’ today

Two-step Vixen

Posted on November 8, 2019November 8, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Wearing boots climbing up so high
Nearly pass right by her thigh
The flow to her hair nearly took me there
I need air!
Two-step vixen
What are you fixin’
Tonight
Two-step vixen
Putting the hex on
She’ll bite

Quite by choice
The tone of her voice
Trained bull whisperer
The look in her eye
Will tell you why
All-out full
Works for her
Two-step vixen
What are you fixin’
Tonight
Two-step vixen
Putting the hex on
She’ll bite

Watching her strut
There’s no if, and nor but
Your eyes will fall to the floor
The foreplay
As she walks away
Leaves ya begging for more
Two-step vixen
What are you fixin’
Tonight
Two-step vixen
Putting the hex on
She’ll bite

A Hard Back Novel

Posted on October 20, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
How novel…
Novel
A tail telltale tell-it-all
Novel…
How novel
The bounce pronounced tells it all
Novel…
How novel
Do you have a minute to talk
A story about your walk
Novel…
How novel
Page 1 starts where you take a stance
The plot thickens when you start to dance
Climax comes when you take off your pants
A tail
A telltale tail
Tell-it-all novel
The way it talks the talk
When I see you walk your walk
A tell-it-all novel
Half fact… half friction

Short Circuit

Posted on August 7, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
The directions say
… suppose to connect A to A
The way it’s to be
… connect B to B
If you want the short circuit
To quit
That’s it
And, by the way
Connecting A to A
Intuitively
B connects to B
Black is negative
Red is positive
Green’s neutral in between
If you want the short circuit
To quit
That’s it
Ground protection fault
It’s really not your fault
Saving this bitch
With your kill switch
’till you find the bug
Unplug
[unplug electric guitar]
