Lyrics
Well I can move my tush
And shake my side
But it's back to the Riff
For inspiration
Creatin music is a roller-coaster ride
I'm strummin'it out
What perspiraton!
Chorus:
Back to the Riff
Back to the Riff
Verse 2
It coul strike me on the subway
Or when Darling says Woof!
Or reading Tchaikovsky
With my feet up on the poof
With my M&Ms beside me
And a cold one in my hand
On the beach my tootsies
Making circles in the sand
Chorus
1st Bridge
The magic of the moment may
Simply disappear
The magic of the moment
may never reappear
Might end up with my music
Drownin in my beer
Chorus
2nd bridge:
Sometimes it's easy, Sometimes ain't got a clue
The music's gettin closer
Tell me what I do??
Chorus
Could be half-way up a mountain
Could be deep down in the ocean
Could be posin for a photo
Or in perpetual motion
Could be havin Paul's dream 'bout scrambled egg
Or fancy fantasies 'bout my lover's legs
Chorus
1st bridge
Chorus
2nd bridge
Could be at the White Hart
Or the Theater of Dreams
A cadence or a sequence
Could be stronger than it seems
A musical cliche could be turned into a fuzz
Just turn up that delay
It gives me such a buzz
Chorus repeats and fades
Verse 2
