[Intro] Y'all ever seen a man walk into a saloon... and the whole damn building start shakin'? That's Exidious, boys. That boy don't arrive... he DROPS. [Verse 1] He pushed them swingin' doors wide open with one hand The bartender froze, the piano man ran The bottles started rattlin' on the shelf Even the jukebox said "nah, I'll sit this one out myself" The crowd went quiet, then someone hollered loud— "It's Exidious, boys, get ya head out the cloud!" And the bass hit LOW, and the lights went dark That birthday boy just walked in, and he LEFT his mark [Chorus] HAPPY BIRTHDAY EXIDIOUS — THE DARK COWBOY RIDES He likes it loud, he likes it heavy, he likes it mean The baddest birthday in the whole damn Western scene Banjo goes WUB, bass goes BOOM, saloon goes WILD Ain't no cake sweet enough for this dark-hearted child! [Verse 2] They brought him a birthday cake with black icing on top The candles were subwoofers, the frosting wouldn't stop He blew 'em out — took three tries and a holler The shockwave cracked a window and flipped a dollar Some drunk cowboy tried to sing "Happy Birthday" soft and sweet Exidious looked at him once... ...that man sat back in his seat That's Exidious, boys. Damn! What did you have in mind? [Bridge] Now every year he walks the same damn road... Into a bar, into the noise, into the BASS THAT EXPLODES They don't send him flowers, they don't send him light They send him LOW FREQUENCIES... and a shot of the night [Chorus] HAPPY BIRTHDAY EXIDIOUS — THE DARK COWBOY RIDES He likes it LOUD, he likes it HEAVY, he likes it MEAN The baddest birthday in the whole damn Western scene Banjo goes WUB, bass goes BOOM, saloon goes WILD Ain't no cake sweet enough for this dark-hearted child! [Outro] So if y'all ever walk into a bar... and the lights flicker, and the bass drops low... and every soul in the room turns around slow... ...that ain't a ghost, partner. That's just Exidious. boys! Happy birthday, boy. ...now somebody have to turn off that damn riddim.
