Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter
The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.

Lyrics
Somewhere In the Night Words & Music ©2012 by Ron Tintner (ASCAP) Somewhere in the night There’s a killer on the loose In a city so upside-down The criminals make the rules The hunter is hunted, the victim reviled The house always wins when the joker is wild And two wrongs make a right Somewhere in the night Somewhere in the night There’s a deal going down In a half-lit back room out of sight Where rats don'tmake a sound And the antihero and the antichrist Ask the Jack of Clubs to name his price And the money’s always right Somewhere in the night Somewhere there’s an honest man Tryin to make things right Somewhere there’s an honest man Ready for a fight Somewhere in the night A shot rings out A cold thirty-eight coughs up smoke As a dying breath burns out The dice are loaded, the fights are fixed The good guys grovel and the rich stay rich While the watchman dims the lights Somewhere in the night Coda: The dice are loaded, the fights are fixed The good guys grovel and the rich stay rich While the watchman dims the lights ‘Cause the money’s always right… Somewhere in the night
