Half step down

Intro/Verses/Chorus:

Verse 1

Blue collar Eddie and his better half Deloris

Used to be mantle pieces down at the black forest

And I don’t know if that bar still exists

But when it did so did they a couple bleeding heart kids

Everything volatile, every night rocker style

Hop a stool be discreet and just watch a while

But do your best to keep the level observational

Drama is attractive so push it when it takes a pull

And each nights are random, when you’ve paid a ransom

 For the right sing along with them drinkin’ anthems

And these fools paid so many dues that everybody stops to salute

Well one night after another fight,

A couple from an opposite table offered an invite

Deloris didn’t want to join ‘em wasn’t feelin’ social

But Eddie was so aggravated that he had to poke holes

He walked over sat in the dialogue

And called at Deloris like some kind of dog (hey hey hey hey girl come here)

She can’t believe it she’s done she’s had it

But she doesn’t want to make another scene in this establishment

She got up and mozied over, and put her arm up around Eddie’s shoulder

Nobody’s sober, the song is the same,

Sometimes you stick out your chin to catch the rain

Chorus

(Same as verses)

The clock keeps drinkin’, they keep tickin’

There’s two more people who get to play positions

Samantha and Chuck not a couple just roommates

Out having too many shots on a Tuesday

Who knew they’d be tools for the duo

Put a little bit of fire on the fuel

It’s a kinda blue intentions ain’t cruel

But everybody’s so ready to bend up the rules

Now there’s chuck staring at Deloris,

Eddie is distracted by Samantha so he doesn’t notice

And everybody’s too fucked up

To even assess the mess, much less care enough

More whiskey, a pitcher of premium,

Eddie’s gettin’ tipsy he didn’t see it commin’

On his way back from a visit with that urinal,

Tryin’ to straitin’ out his thoughts and the vertigo

Weaves through stops when he seen ‘em

Picture perfect, it looked just like freedom

Deloris on chucks lap kissin’ em hard,

Eddie dipped into the winter, left them all at the bar

Sometimes you gotta follow what’s felt inside,

Between the power struggles and selfish pride

No one is allowed to cry unfair

‘Cause now they both get to drink alone somewhere

Chorus x2

Chorus 2

You can be winner you can be a loser

Gotta wake up when you here the rooster

Sometimes its just too simple to live your life wrong

Gotta do right for you when the time come
