"I Need a Brand-New Thrill": a blues tune by John Hessburg.

Life aint nothin' but bones 'n souls
And joy is just a riddle
Me, I wanna spray-paint a Strad violin
To look like a cow-punk fiddle.

TV shows me a million grins
And every bloody one is bland
I'll trade you seven deadly sins
For one lyric that gets banned...

          CHORUS:
          There's just so little time to live
          But so much time to kill
          So help me God I'm ready
          I need a brand new thrill.

Fame & fortune intoxicate you
But oh that glory fades
Me, I'd rather park at a red-line curb
And dodge the meter maids.

I know a man who wheels & deals
Pushing to be nouveau riche
Me, I walk a Doberman to the zoo
Just to let go of the leash...
 
          CHORUS:
          There's just so little time to live
          But so much time to kill
          So help me God I'm ready
          I need a brand new thrill

Some guys are looking for Princess Grace
Some for the devil's daughter
Some like to set their skin on fire
Diving into winter water.

Some folks love to ski off cliffs
Some are jumpin' out of planes
Me, I like to drive about 45
In the left-hand freeway lanes...

          CHORUS:
          There's just so little time to live
          But so much time to kill
          So help me God I'm ready
          I need a brand new
          Need a brand new thrill.
