Trouble Finds Me

big band, 1940s swing, crooner vocal swing

[Chorus]
It tracks my scent, it knows my name,
I don’t seek the spark, but I fuel the flame.
Stay away, let the darkness be,
Because trouble has no trouble finding me.

[Verse 2]
I thought I had a knack for finding grace,
But false contenders trick and make believe.
They judge and put a victim in my place,
They pick my pocket while they smile and thieve.

[Chorus]
It tracks my scent, it knows my name,
I don’t seek the spark, but I fuel the flame.
Stay away, let the darkness be,
Because trouble has no trouble finding me.

I do not need to search for trouble,
For trouble has no problem finding me.

[Melodic Slide Guitar Interlude, mimicking vocal lines]

[Verse 3]
It seems that when I cease the frantic quest,
The universe unveils its grand design.
It brings the angels who are truly blessed,
To fill these hopes and dreams inside of mine.

[Chorus]
It tracks my scent, it knows my name,
I don’t seek the spark, but I fuel the flame.
Stay away, let the darkness be,
Because trouble has no trouble finding me.

I do not need to search for trouble,
For trouble has no difficulty finding me.

[Melodic Interlude, mimicking vocal lines]

[Verse 4]
When will I learn that looks are but a guise?
Pretenders are just hype and hollow air.
The realest angels float before my eyes,
If I let go and see them standing there.

[Chorus]
It tracks my scent, it knows my name,
I don’t seek the spark, but I fuel the flame.
Stay away, let the darkness be,
Because trouble has no trouble finding me.

I do not need to look for trouble, - not me!
Cuz it is too easy for trouble to latch hold of me.

[Melodic lead guitar solo, mimicking vocal lines]

[Bridge]
Step back now, Ronbo, put your tool away,
And open up your arms to let the angels descend.
Let angels caress your personhood today,
Like a lover, a lady, and a friend.

[Chorus]
It tracks my scent, it knows my name,
I don’t seek the spark, but I fuel the flame.
Stay away, let the darkness be,
Because trouble has no trouble finding me.

I do not need to look for trouble, 
I just want it to leave me alone, 
But always close by is more trouble, 
As close as the skin to the bone.

[Melodic Interlude, mimicking vocal lines]

[Outro]
Let the light descend.
No trouble at all.

[Fade Out]

[Verse 1] Here I am just minding my own business, Shunning the meddling and judgment’s witness. "Stop right there, stud, speak your piece," "Are you looking for trouble, or seeking release?" "I don’t go looking, I just let it be, Because trouble has no problem finding me." [Chorus] It tracks my scent, it knows my name, I don’t seek the spark, but I fuel the flame. Stay away, let the darkness be, Because trouble has no trouble finding me. [Verse 2] I thought I had a knack for finding grace, But false contenders trick and make believe. They judge and put a victim in my place, They pick my pocket while they smile and thieve. [Chorus] It tracks my scent, it knows my name, I don’t seek the spark, but I fuel the flame. Stay away, let the darkness be, Because trouble has no trouble finding me. I do not need to search for trouble, For trouble has no problem finding me.
