On The House

Had a bit of fun with this song where the devil bargains with a young man who has an unusual request. 

Sorry about the lead guitar, my fingers are getting old and fumbly. And it's me on the rest of the synths and bass.

There are some swear words, so beware.

 

i waited for the father at the backdoor to the club
five knuckle shuffle in my future, time for some Brandi Love
red eyeball swimmin in the peephole, like somethin from another song 
door opened and there he stood in his technicolour raincoat flashing me
with a great big smile he stood there flashing me

he glowed like a big *****in meteor, the heat was stingin my eyes
smelled like some kinda Mount Vesuvius in his chintzy Halloween disguise
his voice boomed like the mother of all bombs, his hooves tap tap tapping on the floor
he said, folks call me Satan round here, what the hell can i do for you boy (for you, son)
what can i do for you boy

didn't know if i should sit on his lap but i threw caution to the wind
listened politely to my request gave me a two fingered salute full of sin (as above, so below)
forked tongue licked jagger lips and he brought life back into my dead fish
in the matter of payment, he laughed, i think this one's yeah this one's on the house
yeah this one's on the house

when i snuck back into my bedroom, i dropped Gilligan into his tank
the water boiled like chemistry class and his little friends slowly sank
thoughts of Brandi Love disappeared, and i swear i heard the devil laugh
in the matter of payment, he chuckled, yeah this one, this one's in the tank
yeah this one's in the tank

Thanks you two!

Believe it or not, I worked with ChatGPT on an early and incomplete version of the story and lyrics. It suggested I try something different from  the usual "trade your soul in a deal with the devil" trope. I didn't use it to write any of the lyrics, they just kind of came to me, but for lasering in on the story line. The only "lyric" that I did let it write was to name the fish Gilligan.
