Demo Track recorded on three grey days in January 2018

lyrics

Talk low speak slow, when you're on the radio
Talk loud, speak clear, shout it loud for all to hear
You can talk soft when your lost in her eyes
We all lose our minds when we're fighting for the prize
But don't get caught with your hand in the drawer
And if you get the girl you can buy yourself a blue ribbon
Yes, if you get the girl you can buy yourself a blue ribbon

The ticker marks another mile, as life slips away
Jack can't hold still n' he won't take his pills
He says scratch my back and you know I got yours
But Jill can't foot the bill when there's money to be made
So don't get caught with your hand in the till
And if you make it to the end, you can buy yourself a blue ribbon
Yes, if you make it to the end, you can buy yourself a blue ribbon

If you want to make art, you gotta tear it all apart
And challenge every part, to find what's in your heart
And if you want to make love, sometimes you gotta fake love
To open up the door you gotta close the window
Oh, you can pat your back, you can buy yourself a blue ribbon
Yes, you can pat your back, you can buy yourself a blue ribbon

Good blood goes bad with three to six to go
When it all goes bad; uncle gets the house
Find your way back to their hearts, before it all falls apart
And if you make it out alive, you can buy yourself a blue ribbon
Yes, if you make it out alive, you can buy yourself a blue ribbon
And if you lose the race you can still buy yourself a blue ribbon
