Todd, Not Tonight — Broad Daylight Coda

[Intro] Order in the orbit, y’all The cows are checked in The sun’s on the list Let the hearing begin [Verse 1] Pisces Moon’s got both taps running Daisies pinned on the launch control Neighborhood can listen from the fence line But this party’s got a guest list, soul Then the speakers coughed up velvet Like a valentine fell from the sky I said, “Todd, you picked the wrong ceremony” And the whole barn asked, “Why?” [Pre-Chorus] You can plead coincidence You can call it chance But the clerk just stamped the folder And the cows began to dance [Chorus] Deniable plausibility denied! Take that starry romance outside! Skip that track, clear the air Todd was never invited there Three big bangers, one command: Bring the heartbreak, bring the band! No surprise excavation tonight This is our orbit—move along, all right? [Verse 2] Agricultural heartbreak on the docket Intergalactic fire in the file One tulip wore a tiny badge And the judge had not smiled in a while The defense rose up with a straight face “Your Honor, it’s just how the stars align” The moon turned on the sprinklers And the clerk said, “That excuse won’t fly” [Pre-Chorus] You can plead coincidence You can call it chance But the gavel hit the table And the cows began to dance [Chorus] Deniable plausibility denied! Take that starry romance outside! Skip that track, clear the air Todd was never invited there Three big bangers, one command: Bring the heartbreak, bring the band! No surprise excavation tonight This is our orbit—move along, all right? [Bridge] First banger: let the barn doors shake Second banger: make the waterworks wake Third banger: flames across the prairie sky And not one Todd gets through on a technicality [Breakdown] Who has credentials? (The cows!) Who’s authorized? (The sun!) Who’s running water? (Pisces Moon!) Who’s not on the list? (Todd!) [Final Chorus] Deniable plausibility denied! Take that starry romance outside! Skip that track, clear the air Todd was never invited there Three big bangers, now command: Bring the heartbreak, bring the band! Cows in the yard and the moon on the tide Court adjourned—keep Todd outside! [Outro] Resume the cows Resume the flowers Resume the fire Todd, not tonight [Coda] It’s twelve-something, ma’am, the sun presides The window’s open, see the noon outside Todd, not tonight? The clerk replies: Correct. It’s noon. The ruling still applies Christmas filed a brief; the tulip flashed its badge No surprise excavation, no midnight alibi The cows all stamp their hooves: case closed, that’s right Todd, not tonight—now and in broad daylight
