My first draft demos tend to get named the very first thing that pops into my head. The demo for this song was called Egg Boss, because the music reminded me a bit of a Sonic the Hedgehog boss fight theme. When it came time to write the lyrics, I decided to stick with that idea, creating a song comprised of the kind of taunts video game bosses shout at the player throughout the fight.
lyrics
We’re locked and we’re loaded
Ready to attack
Target in sight, better hold on tight
And brace for the impact
We can take it to elven and let it be loud
We can take to a higher level in the clouds
The sparks will fly
When we make contact
The stars align as our fates collide
I’ve got the time
The stars align as our fates collide
Now make your move and I’ll make mine
Come on, baby, can you keep up with me?
Can you keep, can you keep, can you keep up with me now?
Come on, baby, can you handle the heat?
Can you handle, can you handle, can you handle the heat now?
Bring out the big guns
Heavy artillery
Ready or not, cause the weapons are hot
Special delivery
It’s a dance with the devil, and you’re on the card
I bring the fire and I leave you smoldering and charred
Last chance now
Do you really want a piece of me?
