I have a new rocker in the making but, in the meantime, I thought I’d post one from a couple of years back when I was going through a phase of writing on my 12 string acoustic. I intend to write some more songs that way soon.
A tune about an enormous, scary bridge. It crosses a wide and dangerous river which happens to be infested with some rather unpleasant wild-life. Prepare to be eaten!!
THE BRIDGE
(C) 2019 Chris Price
https://soundcloud.com/chris-price-824458122/the-bridgeSteel truss is gleaming, rows of silver teeth
The road is climbing up, there’s peril underneath
As the draw bridge rises, standing half a mile on high
An evil monster rages, the trucks are standing by
They say the waters flow at fifty miles an hour
That the critters down below are waiting to devour
Salty crocs, electric eels and blue ringed octopus
gonna make a meal of each and every one of us
A ship is sailing, it’s passengers don’t know
there’s thirty-five foot gators circling down below
Addicted to the taste and flesh of human kind galore
plucked from the river bank, their souls on the river floor
When the draw bridge closes, the cars begin to cross
It’s gotta be five miles wide but no-one counts the loss
In the river deep the water’s black and stained with blood
If you never crossed that bridge, I really think you should.
