This week's assignment comes from Eddie:
"Very simple. Write a very downtempo sultry song. It should be a dark downer song but still sultry. Genre is open."
It's a song. It's a mess. A big fat sexy mess. I live to write another day.
lyrics
V1:
I can't see in the dark
But I know there's a spark
So let's light it up, light it up
I can show you the way
But before light of day
We will fire it up, fire it up
Ch:
Leave the light on in the corner
I don't feel the need to warn you
We're in the shadows tonight
The shadows tonight
Leave the light on in the corner
V2:
Not sure why you're worried
We ain't in no hurry
Let's light it up, light it up
Before this night is through
We'll be one, me & you
We will fire it up, fire it up
Ch:
Leave the light on in the corner
I don't feel the need to warn you
We're in the shadows tonight
Leave the light on in the corner
V3:
I can't see in the dark
But I know there's a spark
So let's light it up, light it up
Ch:
Leave the light on in the corner
I don't feel the need to warn you
We're in the shadows tonight
The shadows tonight
Ch:
Leave the light on in the corner
I don't feel the need to warn you
We're in the shadows tonight
The shadows tonight
