Spirit Could Sing. For Carrie.

rock, Swaggering 70s glam rock stomp in F minor, male lead with wide, theatrical vibrato and stacked female backups on the hooks, Fuzzy Marc Bolan–style guitar riffs locked to a thick, driving bass, with light honky-tonk piano flourishes on turnarounds, Big handclap groove, tambourine on the choruses, gang shouts on key phrases; mix leans into saturated mids and roomy drums for a live, glitter-smeared feel, light, glam rock

[Verse 1] Platform shoes Cheap red wine Silver stars On your eyes You kicked that door Like a movie scene Spun in the hallway Told me your dream [Pre-Chorus] We were broke But the world felt new Every bad joke Still cracked us in two [Chorus] I knew you then and your spirit could sing You made laugh We always laughed at those funny things Shaking the ceiling Chasing that swing I knew you then and your spirit could sing [Verse 2] Midnight bus Seats torn through You drew hearts On the fogged-up view You stole my hat Did your royal strut We ruled that aisle From front to the back [Pre-Chorus] Every eye roll Turned into a grin Every small town We swore we’d never live in [Chorus] I knew you then and your spirit could sing You made laugh We always laughed at those funny things Spinning in circles Cheap plastic rings I knew you then and your spirit could sing [Bridge] [Guitar snarls Backup vocals ooh with wide vibrato] Years crash by Like a runaway train I still hear your cackle Cut through the rain I still see your glitter On old black jeans Hear you in the echo Between my dreams [Chorus] I knew you then and your spirit could sing You made laugh We always laughed at those funny things Stomping on tables Breaking the strings I knew you then and your spirit could sing (yeah, your spirit could sing) I knew you then and your spirit could sing
