"99th Song" lyrics

"99th Song"

This is the 99th song on my red looper
Think I played my piano into a stupor
Late in the evenin' to early in the mornin'
(And both at once)
Played it soft and low
Played it soft and low... and slow

Watch me move so slow
Because I know how to stroll
But it appears to be my last move

This is the 99th song
On my red looper
The last track that's possible
Before the software explodes
The mainframe of my memory
From my brain (but also my pedal)
Pedals fallin' down like rain...
As if b'lieve I've gone insane
But I ain't, man, I'm just playin' (yeah)

Tickle them keys that massages my brain
Playin' late night to the wee hours of the day
Stoned on music, well, the best kind of high
Got love in my life and three girls by my side
I'm holdin' it down and I'm takin' it slow

But it appears to be my last move...
Slow (watch me move so slow)

This is the 99th song
On my red looper
Think I played my piano into a stupor
Late in the evenin' to early in the mornin'
(And both at once)
Played it soft and low and...
Played it soft and low and slow

I'm holdin' it down, holdin' it down (yeah)
