Intro: Fast acoustic fingerpicking, humming a tune, warm, upbeat]
[Verse 1]
[Vocal: Crisp, rhythmic, conversational]
I took your hand but didn’t know
That your blood ran a little cold, oh so cold and,
I was caught up in the heat, just a dumb boy lusting in, defeat
Wide eyes so wide, focusing on your thighs, I didn’t notice you had hooves for feet
Yep that’s probably how I didn’t know that…
[Chorus]
[Dynamic shift: Open anthemic strumming, driving kick drum, festival-folk bounce]
[Vocal: Joyful, soaring high register]
My soul was gonna burn
That our love was going to take a turn
One so drastic I would pray to die
No lie no lie yeah
And, you would make my life a living hell
Kill the man under this shell
Oh with lips so dry
No lie no lie yeah
Ewwwwww with lips so dry, no lie no lie yeah
[Verse 2]
[Dynamic shift: Drop back to fast fingerpicking, steady light percussion]
[Vocal: Soften tone, keep driving pace]
As I cradled your head I was unaware
You had horns under your hair, that beautiful curly hair and,
I was caught up in the heat, just a dumb boy lusting in, defeat
Wide eyes so wide, focusing on your thighs, hips had me so hypnotized
Yep that’s probably how I didn’t know that…
[Chorus]
[Dynamic shift: Open anthemic strumming, driving kick drum, festival-folk bounce]
[Vocal: Joyful, soaring high register]
My soul was gonna burn
That our love was going to take a turn
One so drastic I would pray to die
No lie no lie yeah
And, you would make my life a living hell
Kill the man under this shell
Oh with lips so dry
No lie no lie yeah
Ewwwwww with lips so dry, no lie no lie yeah
[Bridge]
[Dynamic shift: Drop percussion, lone echoing acoustic guitar, building tension]
[Vocal: Intimate whisper, vulnerable, slow]
Red flags flying in the coastal breeze,
A smoke screen drifting through the ocean trees.
She was classic, cinematic, pure danger in a dress,
And I was young, hopeless, a hormonal mess.
(Fast strumming building, vocals swelling)
I felt the fire on my skin,
Why does it feel good to let the devil in?
[Beat drop: Explosive return of full percussion, fast strumming on "I"]
Why didn’t I know that
[Chorus]
[Dynamic shift: Peak energy, maximum brightness, driving folk rhythm]
[Vocal: Triumphant, celebratory, full-throated]
My soul was gonna burn
That our love was going to take a turn
One so drastic I would pray to die
No lie no lie yeah
And, you would make my life a living hell
Kill the man under this shell
Oh with lips so dry
No lie no lie yeah
Ewwwwww with lips so dry, no lie no lie yeah
[Outro]
[Dynamic shift: Percussion fades, rapid acoustic guitar decrescendo]
[Vocal: Decelerating, calm tone]
Wide eyes so wide, focusing on your thighs,
hips had me so hypnotized
Yep that’s probably why
[End: Final crisp acoustic chord, clean cut]
