[Key:Dm][Tempo:125 BPM, steady tempo throughout, do not accelerate][Style: spy surf rock, secret agent soundscape, mysterious, swaggering, tongue in cheek, cinematic intro, watery reverb][Vocals: female vocalist, contralto or low mezzo, cool and detached delivery, swaggering, subtle ooh-ah backing vocals on chorus][Instrumentation: reverb surf guitar, Hammond organ, analog bass, vibraphone, snare-forward drum kit, light percussion] Verse 1: [reverb surf guitar lead, analog bass, snare-forward drums] Stealthy small in a tank beneath fluorescent light She guards her pellets, meeting your eyes Holding a secret underneath that shell A mission building, shadow agent escaping in her mind Chorus: [full instrumentation, Hammond organ swells, vibraphone accents] Terrapin terror of the Chesapeake Bay Hunter of minnow, she's going home someday Don't let the drama fool you, she's running a game The Megatron Directive... remember the name Verse 2: [reverb surf guitar lead, analog bass, vibraphone undertone, snare-forward drums] In murky shallows she is always the queen meant to rule Ancient eyes that read the tides, current's pull This hunter of minnows, destroyer of the deep The Chesapeake is calling, she feels the rhythm in her shell Chorus: [full instrumentation, Hammond organ swells, vibraphone accents] Terrapin terror of the Chesapeake Bay Hunter of minnow, she's going home someday Don't let the drama fool you, she's running a game The Megatron Directive... remember the name Bridge:[Hammond organ forward, vibraphone, light drums, sparse, build toward final chorus] The warmth of June calls, the classroom fades to memory The current awaits in the bay's siren call No more pellets, the terrapin terror Owns the water's squall Final Chorus: [full instrumentation, all elements, swaggering, peak energy] Terrapin terror of the Chesapeake Bay Hunter of minnow, she's going home someday Don't let the drama fool you, she's running a game The Megatron Directive... remember the name [Outro] [vibraphone lead, analog bass, reverb surf guitar fading, fade to silence]
