Riff off supernova

Lyrics

[OPEN: LEAD 3 — stripped acoustic guitar, raw room vocal] You got the music in you….Saturday, Nights a teenage waste land. And It’s never, it’s never, it’s never really over. Just because it’s over doesn’t mean it’s really over…. [LEAD 3 GROOVE — guitar only, add light percussion] We were in a Blue Tacoma California planning those house parties because we were all the way turnt up. Flying first class up in the sky and she kept— [LEAD 2 CUTS IN — keys suddenly joins and steals the groove] dancing on her own singing on and on you dancin in September? So shut up and dance with me. Cus I want to dance with somebody. Down down do your thing. When we dancing in September. Just hold me closer tiny dancer cus we’re dancing in the dark or dancing in the moon light. It’s me and the moon she says. Cus it’s the end of the world as we know it and those jimmy eat world nights in my car as we were driving in that getaway car. [RIFF-OFF — LEADS trade, answer steal endings] And she’s got a fast car and we stargazing look up look up for love. Cus baby I’m praying hard, no more counting dollars, we’re counting stars. Cus she got soul but she’s not a solider. But i feel like an astranot in the ocean. So welcome to the space jam. See that sunlight we ain’t stopping till the world ends. So call my name like a little prayer. And I hope you have the time of your life. [BREAK — LEAD 3 exposed; piano quietly answers] And it’s a beautiful day and the kids are in town for a funeral but despite all my rage you gotta keep your head up. [LEAD 1 INTERRUPTS — synth pulse + drums enter; others challenge him] She’s a time bomb, unpredictable enter Caroline, sweet Caroline and when I’m back in Chicago dream on dream on I feel it. The end of beginning. And we took a red eye last minute flight. It was cold as ice. Baby it’s cold outside. But we had that cake by the ocean. And lately we running to the riptide. [BIG BAND SWITCH] Bermuda, Bahamas. Come on pretty momma. And California! Here we come and if you wanna go and take a ride with me and stay up out my business and just go get it. That’s what you get for waking up in Vegas. Singing I like rock and roll but I’m over my head so over my head but I ain’t worried bout it right now. Keeping dreams alive. And it’s too late to apologize. And I just hung my head, hung my head cus sooner or later god will cut you down. [RIFF-OFF ACCELERATES — quick singer/instrument swaps] You’re not Elizabeth Taylor but it was a cruel cruel summer singing I’m the problem it’s me meanwhile I’ve been everywhere man, but you kept that hotel key. So shine bright like a diamond shine bright but I want something else good bye, good bye. Just shake it, shake shake shake it like a Polaroid shake it off shake it off. [BREAK — LEAD 2 alone on piano; first major crescendo] But everybody hurts, everybody hurts. So burn it down. And god knows I’m not dying but I bleed now. Sometimes I feel like giving up but it isn’t in my blood. Filled you full of those pills, turned you on again. Searching for signs of life but there’s nobody home. And I’m too depressed to go on. [ENTER ONE AT A TIME — BUILD, THEN HARD DROP] [REBUILD — LEAD 3 guitar; LEAD 1 answers with drums/synth] And i remember running through the wet grass and it was good good good good. And that was a crazy game of poker in the city on down. Cus we’re going down down down. so hit me baby one more time and three and half minutes, felt like a lifetime. Cus we got the fire fire fire. But I need your love I need your time. [LEAD 2 PIANO CLIMBS — LEAD 1 STEALS THE PEAK; BIg SWITCH] I’m not gonna write you to stay when I see myself in your eyes. The way you got me all in my head. Took those sticks and stones and built your little house. Cus what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger like a champagne…[BIG SWITCH] champagne SUPERNOVA in the sky it’s just a shot away shot away when the bad moons rising you gotta fly like an eagle to the sea [BATTLE — all 3 chase lines; overlap] So won’t you fly free bird cus I’m just a bird and as we wind on down the road like a bat of hell on this stairway to heaven blowing like dust in the wind you gotta lose yourself in the music makes the world go right round baby right round while we’re round here we got lots of time is wasting time is walking and I would walk 500 hundred miles but dying young won’t change your mind over matter you know your on my mind. [3 BANDS BECOME 1] This is the story of a girl cus She’s so high above me, she’s so lovely and she’s got a ticket to ride. Cus she’s got a ticket to ride Cus she is whatever she wants to be. She is a little of everything and I know who I want to take take me home. Take me home. And take me home tonight. At 8 6 7 5 3 0 9 when everybody wants to rule the world in a big country dreams stay with you but I miss the rains in Africa and it’s tainted love, ohh I wear my sunglasses at night and it’s all when I’m with you I’m no longer wondering. When I’m with you I know who I want to be.
