Speed Demon f/Kiki Konway

[Intro — snare only, a slow rolling press-roll that mimics an engine revving, then a single sharp rimshot like a gear-shift] (brushed snare hiss... rev... rev... CLICK) [Verse 1] He don't talk much, he don't need to Leather jacket, lazy grin Pulls up slow with the engine purring Honey, trouble's letting himself in [Chorus] I'm just a kitten, soft and sweet But my heart races to his beat He drives too fast, I don't mind one bit 'Cause I'm in love with a speed demon, that's it [Verse 2] Mama says girls like me get burned Playing with fire never works But there's a thrill that I can't unlearn Every time those tires go berserk [Chorus] I'm just a kitten, soft and sweet But my heart races to his beat He drives too fast, I don't mind one bit 'Cause I'm in love with a speed demon, that's it [Bridge — half-time, vibraphone shimmer, breathy and close to the mic] He looks at me kinda sideways slow Like he already knows I won't put up a fight (spoken, soft) — not tonight, daddy. Not tonight. [Final Chorus, full band, snare driving harder] I'm just a kitten, soft and sweet But my heart races to his beat He drives too fast, and honey so do I 'Cause two speed demons were born to fly (snare fades back to that same rolling press-roll, engine idling out)
