about

Based on a true story, from a late-night midweek gig at Lee's Liquor Lounge.

lyrics

Was one of those days
The air was a haze and
the tubas were blastin' my ears,
buzzin' loud, loud; Loud
was the sound

all around the main stage
The crowd was enraged, yes that's
you, cuz, when the groupies are there,
sayin', "Where, where, where
is my Jimmy and his new band?"

The clock's tickin' long
Something is wrong, 'cause we go on
when Jimmy's set is done
Can we run, run, run
things around and you

let us go first?
'Cause what would be worse
than a-playin' to a crowd that ain't there?
Jimmy's hair, hair, hair is walkin' in
and now they're jammin'
for an hour
and another
and another...

(Ooh, no, no, no!)

Late in the night
Nothin' is right and we're standin' finally on stage
And there's none, none, none
in the bar so we

launch into "Hogs"
"Can't wait to quit my job"
When it's like this, I'd rather be in bed
Think I'm dead, dead, dead,
then a man hits the dance floor

As soon as he came, we were pawns in the game of his new buzz
Did not know his name, now we know he's the Devil in Zubaz

Don't know who he was
But just the two of us,
we were makin' some strange energy
Feel the vibe, vibe, vibe
of his mind

as he calls out for Elvis
He's shakin' his pelvis
He boogies with a gal by his side
Let it ride, ride, ride and lose yer soul
to the shuffle master

As soon as he came, we were pawns in the game of his new buzz
Did not know his name, now we know he's the Devil in Zubaz
As soon as he came, we were pawns in the game of his new buzz
Our misfortune, his fame, now we know he's the Devil in Zubaz
