Here we go. My latest stab at some more lyrics. I've changed the gender of the speaker because it made it easier to develop the storyline using the names of cocktails. That doesn't mean it has to stay this way. Let me know what you think. Please edit/add/subtract where you hear something better.
Intro verse slow:
V1
I'm picking up a new old habit
And chilling it on ice
Laying to rest our memories
At a bar named Fool's Paradise.
Prechorus 1
Since you've gone I have been
Half-baked out of my mind
Filling up your vacancy with
Every man that I can find.
Chorus 1
Can I get a witness?
We're raising holy hell in Fool's Paradise.
Can I get witness?
It's liquid love we evangelize
Can I get a witness?
My memory of you's getting euthanized
Can I get a witness?
Jose Cuervo's gets to eulagize
V3
Here in paradise Johnny Walker sits down
And tells Jim Beam it's time to party down.
Then we let out a Rebel Yell
So loud it echoes round Heaven Hill
Prechorus 2
Well I don't need you anymore
To have a good time
I'm out dancing every night
With every man that I can find
Chorus 2
Can I get a witness?
We raise holy hell in Fool's Paradise.
Can I get a witness?
It's liquid love we evangelize.
Can I get a witness?
All memory of you's getting euthanized
Can I get a witness?
Jose Cuervo's going to eulagize.
V4
Jack Daniels warms over and
pinches my seat. Wants to
go for a ride along Easy Street
V5
Jose Cuervo brings a salty treat
After which we hit the floor
To shuffle our feet.
C2
Well I don't need you anymore
To have a good time
I'm out dancing every night
With every man that I can find.
I hear you about getting to the chorus sooner. Does that still apply if we're changing the starting tempo and then kicking it up at the third verse?
And a rough stab at a slower intro. Likely too far off from the current sound for a good blend, though. Not married to it, so . . .
Slow intro sample.
