Gather around me my good friends 'cause I got a tale to tell About a man who shot me once, and this wound still feels like hell I was riding high after a wild night, and I saw a man in red And I told him hey, you're in my way, and he said you're good as dead He was mean and part machine, his shotgun's thunder burst His lead hit home, I hit the dirt, even though I drew first He'd won the gunplay, all in fair play, but I had to know The reason why, he wore crimson, red from head to toe And I was bleeding out, but the man in red, said boy you listen close And I'll explain the genesis of the color of my choice He said When I was young, my daddy took me to a bullring far from town To man me up and make me tough, so I'd never back down I felt the rise of the bull's eyes when it saw the cape blood red I knew right then, the hue for which I'd been born and bred So heed this warning, avoid this man, good night and so long You can forget the singer, but don't forget the song

Set my watch to, your time, my time is slow Tune my strings to, your song, my song is slow And I can't play the six string I'm gonna be a guitar Hero superstar Wherever you are There ain't nothing that I'd rather be doing with you Don't move, too fast, ready, steady, go Don't move, too slow, ready, steady, go Still I can't play the six string I'm gonna be a guitar Hero superstar Wherever you are There ain't nothing that I'd rather be doing with you And I know we'll be all right When it's day, you say good night

Best Girl 04:35
Elle etait plus que parfaite mais je l'aimais a l'imparfait Nous parlions du futur avec nos prenoms composes J'ai compose un temps pour que l'on se refugiasse Mais j'suis pas tres literaire sans une batterie et une basse I call for your help, like a 911 You pick up the phone, and you say hang on Then you throw the phone, in the air And you run You are like pure speed meta, amphetamine Your goddess turns water into, gasoline You're a Mona Lisa or a venus, in furs A superhero knight, in shiny metal spurs You're the best girl, the best girl Angle on your back, as you run to me Cool under the crush You're as cool can be Then you throw the phone, in the air And you run You're the best girl When everything you say And everything you do is so kind You're the best girl, You always got my back, Making sure my stars are always aligned

Ooh, baby you're so good Ooh, baby you're so good I've been waiting all night, baby just to talk to you I've been dying all night, baby just to be with you Ooh, baby you look good Ooh, baby you smell good I've been wanting you all night but I just can't have you yet I've been wanting you so bad like a late night cigarette Are you ready Are you set? Let's go Home

When we were soldiers We fought so well Holding the line We fought like hell Some were left standing And others fell Who got the better None can tell By fire and steel Our world is red The bold or unlucky The endless dead They lay unburied Their breath now stole We lost our parts We lost our whole Some were left standing And others fell Who got the better None can tell Nights, I dream of you And dawn's unkind 'cause I lost more Than I could find

about

Trocadero Seattle, Washington

Once called “space cowboy music,” Trocadero started in 1998 as a trio (baritone guitar / synths / drums + male / female vocals), and gained recognition for soundtracking 17 seasons of Red vs Blue across ten albums for nearly two decades.

“Whenever I hear a new song from Trocadero,” wrote one fan, “it makes me feel nostalgic for something I have yet to experience.”
