(mustard fried)
The track opens with avant-garde orchestral textures—dissonant strings and fractured brass. Sudden bursts of gabber kicks and distorted percussion crash in, interwoven with rapid, syncopated flamenco claps and guitar runs. Layers of processed K-pop vocals, chopped and harmonized, add a glossy, surreal edge. Jarring transitions pivot between polyrhythmic flamenco breaks, aggressive bass drops, and lush, orchestral expansions, building an unpredictable, high-energy atmosphere throughout.

Intro
Well I'm too busy on the right side of my brain
Where the brown leaves grow from the pouring rain
And if I could I would dance on my grave
If I could
Chorus
'Cause everything's gonna be alright
Even if it's mustard fried (mustard fried)
If I could I would dance on my grave
If I could
Verse 1
It was Saturday in August
And the summer rain was steady
The grass was so overgrown
But it was not a good time to mow
Not on this particular day
Oh no
Not on this day
And my cousin's wedding
Was only two weeks away
So I guess it could've waited
Anyway
It's not a good time to mow
Not on this particular day

Pre-Chorus
But it's a perfect time to stay inside
Fry some chicken and do a little laundry
Chorus
Now my wife
Has a special recipe for chicken
It involves marinating in mustard
Before dredging it in flour
And deep-frying
Yeah
She fries it mustard fried (mustard fried)
Verse 2
And the power was out for two hours
And it really didn't matter
Because everything was fine
We didn't need to mow
Not on this particular day

Pre-Chorus
You can keep your coffee
'Cause I don't drink it
Don't need that caffeine
To get me movin' fast
Chorus
I got somethin' that I like
That keeps me up all night
It's that mustard fried (mustard fried)
It's that mustard fried (mustard fried)
It's that mustard fried (mustard fried)
Verse 3
If you try it
I promise you won't go back
When I tried it
Man
I got so fat

Pre-Chorus
It's all that I want to eat
It's so bad
But it's so sweet
Chorus
It's that mustard fried (mustard fried)
It's that mustard fried (mustard fried)
It's that mustard fried (mustard fried)
I'm gonna be in the club
I'm gonna be mustard fried (mustard fried)
Gonna be mustard fried (mustard fried)
I'm gonna be mustard fried (mustard fried)
Verse 4
I said
"Come on now
Man"
Don't take it for granted
When you're mustard fried (mustard fried)
When you're mustard fried (mustard fried)
Bridge
My father warned me that I'd
Meet a eye like you someday
With lips that sing like honey
But a tongue like a snake
My daddy told me that I'd
Meet a eye like you someday
That sings like honey
With a tongue like a snake
But it's too late

Someday you'll find the right hand to hold
While you stand in the desert rock heat
But it ain't me
Babe, and I know ya'll see it
Too

And so I say goodbye

A million other loves wait out there for you
But in this life
You only get one soul
But it's not me
I hope you'll see it
Too

If I could I would dance on my grave

And so I say goodbye
