Seth Asa: Music

Colt 45

(Seth Asa / Pretty Youth)
This was the first track on Pretty Youth's 45th album, "Pretty Late". I was thinking about the number 45 on the way home from work and I wrote this song immediately upon my arrival home.

In this first recording, Stitch Marker is on the right-hand channel and I'm on the left.

colt 45

colt 45, an original sin
lookin' down the barrel at a bottle of spin
loosen the cap, squeeze the trigger, don't spill
colt 45 - an orignal thrill

colt 45 in and out of the bar
aiming to maim the brain like a rock star
from the gullet to the mullet to the midnight express
colt 45 sucks the soul from success

colt 45 kicks the crap out of gold
when the devil puts the pedal to the metal below
and satan sets his sights a little higher than his pit
colt 45 and you forget all that shit

colt 45 fends off firey fiends
shootin' to kill and drinkin' to please
people from the steeple to the village survive
with cases and casings of colt 45
