[Intro] [Steady, 100bpm walking Rhodes piano bass line opens] [Crisp jazz drum pocket locks into a confident, easy stomp] [A heavy, bluesy fuzz guitar riff glides straight to the front] [Verse 1] [Mid-tone vocals, casual talk-singing, low-key and mysterious] Staring down the street looking at the payphone wall Wiped the whole ledger clean but i missed your call Could have went and had a ball out in Mexico land Had the blueprint locked down right in our hands [Verse 2] [Conversational speaking style, relaxed and cool] Engine was humming on the runway line Fading out of view right at the deadline time Horizon turned red and the secret just sank Left a ghost in the dust running straight to the bank [Chorus] [Lightly sung, melodic harmony, smooth and defiant] Could have been incredible completely locked down Now I'm standing all alone in a heavy nightclub town Yeah you never called and the horizon turned gray I missed it all it just slipped away [Bridge] [Extended, cinematic mid-tempo instrumental bridge] [The fuzz guitar takes a long, soaring, bluesy solo] [Vox Continental organ swells underneath like a siren in the distance] [Rhodes piano bass line keeps a rock-solid, hypnotic walking pace] [Drums drop subtle rimshots and rolling fills] [Verse 3] [Intimate talk-singing, leaning very close to the mic] Sitting on the rim watching smoke fill the space Just a shadow of a crown jewel left in this place Wild ideas bouncing but the fire went cold The ultimate dig turned to dust instead of gold [Chorus] [Lightly sung, melodic harmony, smooth and defiant] Could have been incredible completely locked down Now I'm standing all alone in a heavy nightclub town Yeah you never called and the horizon turned gray I missed it all it just slipped away [Outro] [Loose spoken word outro, trailing off into the final jam] Yeah. I missed it all. You never called. The title track faded right out. [Sprawling, majestic psychedelic organ and fuzz guitar jam] [Sudden, definitive cold finish on a single drum crash]
