Song information
Written in 2015 originally. Far from a basic 12 bar,. but I'd say it's still the blues. For those who don't know, the grunion are a type of fish who lay their eggs in the sand at low tide so they will hatch when the next tide washes them out to sea. An interesting point maybe, the first European explorers to make it to the California coast were reportedly told by the natives that the fish danced on the beach when the moon was full.

Lyrics
CHORUS:
And the grunion are dancing 
On the shores again tonight
And the grunion are dancing
On the shores again tonight

When the night came 
I didn't light up the town
I just went under the wire
Cause I do my business with speed and precision
Just like a fire

REPEAT CHORUS:

Even for a Saturday, this town can be so still
But I can't forget the things you put me through
I looked all round to find you, and in every place you said you'd  be
There was no trace of you

REPEAT CHORUS:

I wander the shops around the avenue
Cause my ship passed me by
'Til fortunes show themselves
Until the day I die

Cool lyrical concept! Love the main riff.
The backing brass during the guitar soloing is an inspired choice.
Jam on... Jam on...
