Grea track, love the groove here and great vocals, reminds me a little of Dr John! You got The Meters backing you? LOL

Wow! What a tune!!! Totally wrangled me down and tied me up!!! 🤩 In a good way. 😉 A very happenin' tune!!! ⁓Rebecca

Come along with Shade Structure on a funky film noir midnight ride
From the Album : Strange Complusions
Lyrics:
I'll fire up that gas bag
Drive it down to Sandman Slough
You never know what you're gonna do
Everywhere, there's a deadman's curve
I don't know what ya heard
It's probably true

Take it into the night
Take that Coupe De Ville
Drive it into the night
I want nothing but a good time
Take my broken heart
Batter it up
Chicken fried
Liquefied
I have a strange compulsion
To the creatures 
And the features of the night

I was born the son of a lion tamer
They say: Yeah, you've got a boy child coming
You better read the disclaimer!

Take it into the night
Take that thing tonight
Drive it into the night
I want nothing but a good time
Take my broken heart
Batter it up
Chicken fried
Liquefied
I have a strange compulsion
To the creatures 
And the features of the night

Take what you know
Take it real slow
Take it where the fireworks are
Yeah!
Watch me stagger home
Into the light...
I have a strange compulsion 
To the creatures
And the features
Of the night

When God came back 
It was on a Tuesday afternoon
"I've fulfilled all my heavenly promises to you,"
Now it's up to you
To search out the fakes and the frauds
"I'm playing existential funk,"
Who would have thunk?
Selling Mexican fireworks from my trunk

I have a strange compulsion
To the Creatures 
And the features
Of the night

Strange Compulsion

Thanks you so much for listening!

I try to write with rich lyrical details and self-deprecating humor about the human condition. Plus, that unique Shade Structure sound!  It sounds best with headphones. Thanks for any comments, reposts or likes.
