White Buffalo (Original by Greenwolf)

White Buffalo [Intro – Immediate reggae-rock groove, deep bass, short spoken radio announcement] Attention, all stations. There is a buffalo in the signal. He appears to be enjoying himself. [Verse 1 – Relaxed, slightly raspy vocals, crisp offbeat electric guitar] There is a legend On a frozen moon A beast so white The satellites look away A hide so thick No laser can pierce A hoofed disaster With a stolen bassline He sleeps in a crater Where the old ships rust With one ear on the heavens And his nose in the cosmic dust [Pre-Chorus – Organ rising, drums tighten] No one knows how the trouble began But the moon keeps moving on the offbeat [Chorus – Big catchy hook, crunchy guitar accents, echoing backing vocals] White Buffalo (A shape in the night) White Buffalo (Aglow in moonlight) White Buffalo (Four hooves, one bassline) White Buffalo (The moon won't sit still) [Verse 2 – Playful storytelling, bubbling bass, spacious guitar echoes] The hunters came From the far side of space With imported rifles And extremely serious hats They followed his footprints Through the ice and snow But something in their engines Started playing very low Their captain shouted orders Through a cracked megaphone The buffalo ate the antenna And left the echo on [Pre-Chorus – Brief build, backing vocals swell] No one knows how the trouble began But the moon keeps moving on the offbeat [Chorus – Strong reggae-rock groove, bright guitar chords] White Buffalo (A shape in the night) White Buffalo (Aglow in moonlight) White Buffalo (Four hooves, one bassline) White Buffalo (The moon won't sit still) [Bridge – Fast rhythmic spoken vocals, stripped-back bass and drums] Check the radar, check the engine, check the emergency biscuits Something large and very hairy has swallowed our coordinates Left past Neptune, right at breakfast, straight through Tuesday afternoon Captain, why's the steering wheel attached to a coconut? Cancel the landing, the landing pad has wandered off And the buffalo is chewing on the concept of north [Dub Break – Eight bars, bass-forward groove, tape-delay guitar lick, scattered alien radio voices] White... Buffalo... Please stop eating the equipment. [Final Verse – Stronger rock guitar, steady reggae pulse, increasingly amused vocals] When the ice began to thaw The cavalry formed a line Every gun was loaded Every camera pointed north The buffalo came charging With the moonlight in his mane They fired into the white haze And something hit the snow A great white shape lay silent The captain raised his glass Somewhere beyond the crater An engine dropped the bass [Final Chorus – Full band, celebratory backing vocals, wide dub echoes] White Buffalo (A shape in the night) White Buffalo (Aglow in moonlight) White Buffalo (Four hooves, one bassline) White Buffalo (The moon won't sit still) [Outro – Drums drop out, bass and guitar delay remain, dry spoken delivery] Now in an isolated hunting lodge His mighty hide lies underneath their boots At midnight, it rises from the floor And takes the whole damn house to orbit Please keep your feet inside the rug. [Short dub echo tail]
