Ten Aces Deep - The Follow-Up

Verse 1

Road

Dusty and dry

Me and my brother Kyle

Sun was hanging heavy in the blue sky

When a demon broke the ground

Ripping up the blacktop with a sound

(Wait... is that him)

(Shhh keep playing)

He looked at us with eyes of fire

Said I have come for your desire

I know you two from way back when

The guys who sang about the song you couldn't play again

Chorus

This is not the greatest song in the world

No no

This is not even the tribute

This is the follow up to the follow up to the thing

And we have already forgotten what we are following

Yeah we forgot it all

Verse 2

Stare

Cold and mean

Kyle whispered JB he looks green

I said ignore the color

Just play it like a lover

We hit a chord

One single note

The demon cleared his gravel throat

He said stop

Wait a minute

Your heart is just not in it

That is not the tribute melody

You are lying to me

(He is on to us)

(Shut up Kyle)

Bridge

It was not this song

It was not this chord

It was not the tribute oh Lord

Something kept him standing

Foot tapping

He could not leave

Verse 3

Silence

Total and deep

The demon started to weep

He looked at my face

In this dusty place

Said I saw you in Dimension Nine

Where the suns do not shine

You played the tribute perfectly

But you were not who you claim to be

The Adequate Two

That was you

Ten Aces Deep changed the game

A brand new name

A better frame

You are just one step away from gold

Or so I have been told

Chorus

This is not the greatest song in the world

No no

This is not even the tribute

This is the follow up to the follow up to the thing

And we have already forgotten what we are following

Yeah we forgot it all

Outro

Demon stood there

Still tapping

Furious

So furious

We played on

Chasing shadows

Running wild

Ten Aces Deep

Ten Aces Deep

TEN ACES DEEP

Ten Aces Deep

TEN ACES DEEP

The Adequate Two are dead and gone

He gave us a seven

Maybe a seven point two

We will take it

Yeah we will take it

Go!
