Golden Fiddle

male vocals, electronica+9, synth, anthemic+7, synthwave, hard rock, super fast tempo, fiddle+7, harmonica, electric guitar +2

[Verse 2]
while looking in the window I must've made a scene
cuz the devil began to speak as he walked up to me
he said I see you like that fiddle of gold is it something you'd like to own?
I can bet you one just like it if you'd care to wager your soul.

[Bridge]
what kind of bet did you have in mind?  I don't know how to play a fiddle
ah, he said, but you do know how to play chess, we could sit and play a little
one game of chess for that fiddle made of gold
I lose you get that golden fiddle, you lose I get your soul.

[Pre-Chorus]
Satan said, I've been known to play chess against the best
white or black I'll let you decide, lets put your skills to the test
well you might think you're good but there's no way you're going to win
Satan I'll play white to start this game, have a seat and let's begin.

[Chorus]
if Satan comes a calling
you probably shouldn't stay
cuz if he gets you talking
you'll most likely end up prey
he'll charm or catch a nerve
making you turn to sin
Satan will use trickery to lure
you into thinking you can win

[Verse 3]
Satan I hate to give you bad news
when it comes to chess you're gonna lose
I've made my move, watcha going to do?
Satan clapped his hands, chanted a few words, three servants joined in too
I recognized these servants, 
they were chess grand masters long ago
Satan listened to his minions, 
made his move, laughed and crowed.

[Verse 4]
we played an epic battle for the ages
Satan, three grand masters and I.
Satan thought he had me trapped 
as he stared me in the eyes
he never saw it coming, just stood there with opened jaw
when I told him checkmate, he vanquished his minions and guffawed
he looked me over and said there's no way that you could win
I told Satan you don't know me, but I'm pretty sure you know my kin

[Bridge 2]
he stood there looking befuddled, 
grumbling,  kicking rocks on the ground, 
while looking up and down at me
I said I believe that you may know my daddy,

[Pre-Chorus 2]
that golden fiddle there in the window was his, 
you can call me Johnny Junior, 
once again,  Satan, you've been beat. 
He shook his head and made a fist
as he layed that golden fiddle before my feet. 
I said Satan, my daddy and you have history
he won that fiddle of gold against his soul cuz he's the best fiddler ever been
when it comes to chess, I'm the best, 
feel free to come anytime again.

[Verse 6]
Satan I'm Johnny Junior, next time you're in this town
before you go making bets, you best be asking 'round
Satan you best pay attention to what you've heard
cuz you might just lose another golden fiddle, to my boy, Johnny the 3rd.

[Outro]
