Lyrics

[Intro, Loose Shuffle Groove, Clean Electric Guitar] [Spoken Male Vocal, Room Ambience]
I sold my soul, but the payment bounced,
Neon laughed while the shadows pounced.
She spun in silk to a crooked tune,
Said, “Pay me now… or very soon.”

[Verse 1, Mid-Tempo Swing, Blues Rock Pocket] [Raspy Male Vocal, Conversational Delivery]
“One little smile…” she swayed and teased,
“Look at you, already weak in the knees.
Slow it down, don’t rush the game,
You’ll sign it over just the same.”

[Pre-Chorus, Slight Build, Bass Push] [Half-Sung Vocal, Light Grit]
I said, “Relax, it’s on the way,”
She said, “You don’t get time to pay.”
I grinned back, “Oh, don’t you worry
Eternity’s in no real hurry.”

[Chorus, Full Band Punch, Wide Guitars] [Lead Vocal + Backing Gang Vocals]
The payment bounced because I smiled,
Played it sweet, played it wild.
Said, “Check’s in the mail, didn’t you see?
Takes a while… spiritually.”

[Verse 2, Groove Locked, Drum Pocket Tight] [Lead Vocal, Playful Swagger]
She leaned in close, and said “You think you’re a cutie?
I said I own you - uh huh, nice gum… is that tootie-fruity?.”
I tapped my chest, kept time with the beat,
“Can’t cash a soul that won’t receipt.”

[Break, Percussive Stop-Time, Guitar Hits] [Spoken-Rhythmic Vocal]
Tick-tock rhythm, childlike rhyme,
She tried to trap me out of time.
“Beg for it, baby,” she purred so slow,
I said, “Processing… takes a while, don’tcha know.”

[Bridge, Half-Time Feel, Blues Tension] [Low Vocal Tone, Slight Reverb]
“I love it when you fight,” she said,
I yawned instead, “I’ll pay when I’m dead.”
She cracked a grin, then cracked again
No contract holds a ghost of a man.

[Guitar Solo, Blues Lead, Expressive Bends] [Instrumental]
(Lead guitar carries melody with vocal-like phrasing)

[Final Chorus, Big Energy, Layered Guitars] [Lead Vocal + Strong Backing Vocals]
I sold my soul, but the payment bounced,
Truth came through, her spell denounced.
“Check’s in the mail,” I waved goodbye,
She can’t collect on a flimsy alibi.

[Outro, Fade Groove, Loose Timing] [Soft Vocal, Ad-lib Tail]
“One little smile…” faded thin,
No hook can hold what won’t give in.
Nursery tune for the late-night crowd:
Promise it soft… never say it loud.
