about
Deviant Days is the second single from our upcoming debut EP. Much like the playful energy of the song suggests, we flirt with but never wholly commit to traditional blues, funk, and the stylings of the 1940s/50s Doo Wap era. Get in.
lyrics
Whimsical ways
Caught my attention, my gaze
Couldn’t erase
The smile I had glued to my face
Feel my heart racing
Beating and chasing
Up the pace, up the pace
Something my taste
Deviant Days
More than amused
Tell myself ‘nothing to lose’
Kinda confused
On its own
My body moves
Just like a time bomb
Setting my mind off
Blow a fuse, blow a fuse
Tell me your don’ts
Show me your dos
Chorus
I don’t see nothing wrong
If you wanna get next to me
Feel like it’s what we both want
Well then that’s what it’s gotta be
Don’t leave me standing here
Take my hand let’s disappear (you’ve got)
No reason not to trust
So baby don’t you think so much
Rap
You’ve got me moving in a forward fashion
Because I see you laughing
Laughing looking my direction
It’s natural selection
No need for coy, need for shy, need to keep me guessing
I hope that you don’t mind me asking
Got a couple questions
What’s your name, where you from, how you doing?
As fate would have it you’re the one I’m pursuing
The one that I’m wooing
Before I get ahead of myself
Your energy is something I’ve never felt
So
Let’s take it easy, take it slow, it’s not like time’s up
Unless you’re ready in which case I made my mind up,
Terms and conditions, dotted lines
Where do I sign up?
Man on a mission, other brothers better line up
Hold up a second, wait
Let me get it straight
If I ask nicely would you let me take you on a date
Mister magic rolling up a sleeve
Watch me trick it
Let’s blow this joint
We should kick it
Chorus
