Recorded at the end of last year, here's my latest offering. All my own work..no AI. Turn it up, grab a beer! Crits and observations welcome.

Six am, I'm headed for the station, I got my ticket I'm on board the train

I going south to a special destination, at the club I'll see Spider again


I get a tap on the shoulder, the man looking me in the face

You ain't goin' nowhere, your covers blown it's the end of the masquerade


I said you got the wrong man it wasn't me guv, all I ever stole was a pretty girl's love

He said I've been on your case, that's why I'm here, you goin' down for 100 years


I was cuffed and stood in the dock, the judge look down, said off with his block

Put on a black cap on n that's when he said, times up it's the end of the masquerade


I though about Spider waitin' in despair, to my surprise she's standin' right there

She blew the jail gate with TNT, she hit the button she set us both free


False passports and ID, straight through customs Spider n me

We touch down in some place hot, we startin' over with a brand new masquerade


Masquerade....oh, it was six o'clock

Masquerade....A hundred years is what I got

Masquerade....yeah, off with his block

Masquerade....Spider blew up the whole damn lot

Masquerade....

@ChrisPrice -- Excellent new, original, and high-energy rocker! I love it! Great lyrics, great lead guitar, and great atmosphere! The vocals, instrumentation, and production are stellar as usual. I've enjoyed your songs a lot over the years. This one is certainly no exception. Great work and great track! I enjoyed listening! :D

Keep the cool songs coming in 2025!  8)

Cheers,
Joseph
