Hugo in the Smoke — dbuck

Verse 1

Hugo walks slow through the cobblestone haze
Beer in his hand, lost in the maze
Shadows of brass bands echo the square
But he’s chasing a riff only he can hear

Chorus

Rolling down the streets, under moonlit glow
Amp’s on fire, but he moves real slow
Hugo in the smoke, can’t find his way home
The fuzz is his kingdom, the riff is his throne

Verse 2

Waffles and wires, tangled in sound
Flemish skies keep pressing him down
Every note’s a stone in his worn-out shoe
But he plays ‘cause it’s all he can do

Rolling down the streets, under moonlit glow
Amp’s on fire, but he moves real slow
Hugo in the smoke, can’t find his way home
The fuzz is his kingdom, the riff is his throne

Outro

Streetlight hum, the low-end drone
Hugo’s heart beats like a kick drum alone
