Kings of the Carpark

[Style: Nostalgic indie rock, mid-tempo, melodic bass, working-class anthem, 110 bpm], male vocals

[Instrumental Intro]
[Warm, driving bassline with a steady, walking drum beat]
[Verse 1]
Sitting on the hood of a rusted Ford
Got nothing to do and we’re out of our gourds
Trading cheap cider and massive lies
Underneath the orange street lamp skies
The security guard shines a light in our face
Tells us to move, says it isn't our place
We drag our feet slowly, taking our time
[Pre-Chorus]
We had nowhere to be, but we had to be there
Breathing the freezing suburban air
Building our castles on concrete and stone
[Chorus]
We were the kings of the carpark, ruling the night!
Talking so loud we were ready to fight
Nothing to our names but a pocket of change
Looking back now, it feels so strange!
We commanded the asphalt, we governed the dark
We were the invincible kings of the park!
[Verse 2]
Skating the curbs till the wheels fell apart
Carrying a perfectly unbreakable heart
Making grand plans to take over the earth
Testing our courage to see what it's worth
Someone brings out a terrible battered guitar
Playing three chords like a superstar
And for ten lovely minutes, we actually were
[Pre-Chorus]
We had nowhere to be, but we had to be there
Breathing the freezing suburban air
Building our castles on concrete and stone
[Chorus]
We were the kings of the carpark, ruling the night!
Talking so loud we were ready to fight
Nothing to our names but a pocket of change
Looking back now, it feels so strange!
We commanded the asphalt, we governed the dark
We were the invincible kings of the park!
[Bridge]
[Music drops to just a quiet guitar strum]
Where did the kingdom eventually go?
Buried in taxes and mortgages, I know.
But sometimes I drive by the old grocery store
[Drums kick back in slowly]
And I swear I can see us hanging by the door!
[Guitar Solo]
[Nostalgic, soaring, melodic indie solo]
[Chorus]
We were the kings of the carpark, ruling the night!
Talking so loud we were ready to fight
Nothing to our names but a pocket of change
Looking back now, it feels so strange!
[Outro]
Long live the kings.
Ruling the dark.
Pocket of change.
[Fade out slowly]
