"The Lost One" (The Holy Demiurge Series)

+ Show full styles

Made with some shame  in The Demiurge backdoor office, with Kimi and Lukamode 4.46
In Rolling Stones Style.

[Intro | Spoken Word | Close Mic | Dry]
Yeah the Good Book says go find the lost one
but the Good Book never saw my place on Route 66
I got a barn not a church
and my flock don't wear wool
they wear too much makeup and not enough hope
(woo!)

[Verse 1 | Narrative | Strutting | Raspy | Shuffle Groove]
Ninety-nine girls working the night shift
counting singles sweating glitter
I keep 'em fed I keep 'em more-or-less sober
it's a decent operation all things considered
Then Lamb walks out
just leaves her heels by the door
and the coffee machine broke
and nobody knows the Wi-Fi password
(yeah!)

[Verse 2 | Driving | Sarcastic | Tight]
The others said Boss let her go she was lazy
She charged double for half the service
She stole my lipstick and my best John
But I looked at the books looked at the bar
looked at the hole where she used to sit
and I grabbed my coat
'cause the desert is cold when you got ninety-nine mouths
and one ghost

[Chorus | Full Band | Anthemic | Plate Reverb | Wide Stereo]
[ad-libs, heavy]
I GOT NINETY-NINE BUT I WANT THE ONE
I LEFT THE WHOLE DAMN BUSINESS TO ROT
SHE MIGHT BE LOST SHE MIGHT BE STUPID
BUT SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS MY JOKES
(woo!) (yeah!) (c'mon!) (baby!)

[Verse 3 | Narrative | Warm | Slide Guitar Underneath]
Found her at a Denny's outside Vegas
eating pancakes reading the Bible
can you believe that? The Bible.
She said I figured if I'm gonna be lost
I might as well see how the professionals do it
I didn't preach didn't scold
I just paid for her pancakes
and carried her purse all the way home
(yeah!)

[Chorus | Full Band | Stacked Harmonies | Plate Reverb]
[ad-libs, heavy]
I GOT NINETY-NINE BUT I WANT THE ONE
I LEFT THE WHOLE DAMN BUSINESS TO ROT
SHE MIGHT BE LOST SHE MIGHT BE STUPID
BUT SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS MY JOKES
(woo!) (yeah!) (alright!)

[Bridge | Whispered | Honky-Tonk Piano | Intimate | Half-time]
The girls threw a party when we got back
they burned a cake they drank my good scotch
nobody mentioned the money she cost us
nobody mentioned the Johns she stole
we just danced
like a family that knows it's damned
but dances anyway

[Guitar Solo | Slide Blues | Telecaster | 8 bars | Vintage Marshall]
*open-G riff — crying slide — blues bends — falling into feedback*

[Final Chorus | Maximum Energy | Belting | All Caps | Wide Stereo]
[ad-libs, heavy]
I GOT NINETY-NINE BUT I WANT THE ONE!
I LEFT THE WHOLE DAMN BUSINESS TO ROT!
SHE MIGHT BE LOST SHE MIGHT BE STUPID!
BUT SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS MY JOKES!
(woo! yeah! c'mon! baby!)

[Outro | Fade | Spoken Word | Raspy | Close Mic | Dry]
And Jesus said there's more joy in heaven
for one lost sheep than ninety-nine righteous
I don't know about heaven
but in my house we call that Tuesday
and the coffee tastes better now
........
(amen... or whatever...)
