Searching For a Riff
Searching I was for a good riff,
Maybe like in 'Locomotive Breath',
So I called up my old pal Biff
But a cold, he had caught a death.
Now with Biff down and out,
I was left to go it alone;
“But blisters on my fingers!” To shout,
I mean I was down to the bone.
So to the bible open at page one,
For some guidance, why not?
But nary a riff would come
And to page two I never got.
Now a cup of inspiration taken,
I'm grooving to Carlos Santana;
'Soul Sacrifice' if I'm not mistaken,
Thinking there's always manana.
Godammit, where you at Biff?
I got all these words in my head!
Hey, hey, my, my I need a riff,
Drinking here by myself instead.
