[Intro] (Upbeat 1987 Synth-Pop beat starts, Keytar melody, rhythmic Driving Bass) (Wah-Wah Guitar enters with a Funk-Rock strut) (Spoken Word, Confident voice, Youthful High Tenor) Yeah... It’s Dave. Just observing the situation. Let’s go. [Verse 1] (Staccato rhythm, Witty tone, crisp Snare Drum, Wah-Wah Guitar chops) I’m just a chipmunk with a fluffy brown tail Watching the logic go completely off the rail I’ve got my stripes and I’m sitting in the tree Looking at the things that are worrying me They walk into the walls while staring at a screen The absolute weirdest stuff I have ever seen I gather up my nuts and I stack them in a pile While everybody else is living in denial [Chorus] (Explosive Hi-NRG tempo, bright Synth Brass stabs, anthemic Belt vocals) Tell me where did common sense go? Is it buried deep beneath the winter snow? Did it fly away or did it pack its bags to leave? It’s getting kind of hard for a chipmunk to believe Nobody stops to think before they choose to act Logic is a myth and that is just a fact Where did it go? I really want to know Where did common sense go? [Verse 2] (Groovy Bass line focus, Dance-Pop beat, Cheeky/Confident tone) I saw a guy pushing when the sign said pull Sometimes I think the world is only half full They complain about the cold but left the window wide I’m safe and warm and cozy right here inside It isn't rocket science, it is simple A-B-Cs But they stumble and they fumble while I’m chillin’ in the breeze I shake my little head and I twitch my little nose Confusion is the only thing that ever really grows [Chorus] (Driving beat, soaring Synth-Pop layers, Synth Brass hits) Tell me where did common sense go? Is it buried deep beneath the winter snow? Did it fly away or did it pack its bags to leave? It’s getting kind of hard for a chipmunk to believe Nobody stops to think before they choose to act Logic is a myth and that is just a fact Where did it go? I really want to know Where did common sense go? [Bridge] (Tempo pulls back slightly, New Wave atmospheric pads, building tension) Maybe I’m just small, just a creature of the wood But I’d share a little wisdom if I thought that I could You need a clear head to make it through the day Don’t let the silly chaos sweep you away (Electronic Tom Fills build up rapidly with a Stomping Glam Rock beat) [Guitar Solo] (Theatrical Glam Rock style, Crunchy Rhythm Guitar power chords, melodic and catchy) [Chorus] (Maximum volume, Hi-NRG tempo, full band, Confident High Tenor Belt) Tell me where did common sense go? Is it buried deep beneath the winter snow? Did it fly away or did it pack its bags to leave? It’s getting kind of hard for a chipmunk to believe Nobody stops to think before they choose to act Logic is a myth and that is just a fact Where did it go? I really want to know Where did common sense go? [Outro] (Beat fades out to Sequencer loop, soft Keytar melody) (Spoken, Confident, Witty) Seriously... Check the sign on the door. It says "Push." (Chuckles) (Fade to silence)
