SS Shadow

[Intro] (Deep, rumbling vinyl crackle) (A bassline that sounds like a heavy engine idling—slow and low) (Chorus-soaked guitar ripples like heat off asphalt) [Verse 1] Ninety-six, black on black, sitting in the drive A heavy-metal beast that makes me feel alive My step-dad tossed the keys, said "She's a fuckin' boat, But she’ll keep you steady and she’ll keep you afloat" Darth Vader’s ride, shimmering in the sun Ten gallons of gas and we’ve only just begun [Chorus] In the Black SS Shadow, cruising through the night LT1 humming under the orange street light Heavy on the springs, heavy on the soul Let the walking bassline take full control Yeah, just me and this heavy black ghost (Deep, funky bass slide) [Verse 2] The leather’s got a crack where the sunlight hit But when I’m in the seat, I don't care one bit He didn't say much when he handed her down Just "Watch the fuckin' corners when you're headed through town" It’s a wide-body rhythm, a long-wheelbase dream The smoothest damn thing that I’ve ever seen [Chorus] In the Black SS Shadow, cruising through the night LT1 humming under the orange street light Heavy on the springs, heavy on the soul Let the walking bassline take full control Yeah, just me and this heavy black ghost [Bridge] (Drums drop out, just the heavy bass and a swirling, trippy guitar) (Guitar solo is slow, melodic, and syrupy—lots of 70s chorus) (The sound of a heavy car door slamming shut in the distance) It’s a lot of car... It’s a lot of history... Yeah, let it roll. [Outro] Cruising in that ninety-six... Black paint like a mirror... (Husky baritone humming the bass melody) (Guitar fades into a wash of reverb) (Vinyl crackle ends with a heavy thud) [End]
