Poker Face II (The High Roller)

[Intro] [Heavy, distorted 2008 synth bass pattern starts] [Electronic robotic voice stutters] P-p-p-poker face, p-p-p-poker face... [Classic 120 BPM four-on-the-floor club beat kicks in] [Female Vocals, mysterious tone]: Mum-mum-mum-mah... I'm back again! Mum-mum-mum-mah... You cannot win! [Verse 1] [Staccato synths, dark atmosphere] I'm sitting at the table in the VIP room The neon lights are flashing, spelling out your doom You think you read my eyes, you think you know the score But I just doubled up and now I want some more The chips are stacking high, the stakes are off the grid I'll never show my cards, I’ll never tell what I did! [Pre-Chorus] [Build-up with rising synthesizer pitch and fast claps] I wanna hold 'em like they do in Vegas, pleasuring Fold 'em, let 'em, hit me, raise it, baby, stay with me! Luck is a lady but she's wearing my disguise Just look into my cybernetic eyes! [Chorus] [Explosive, melodic pop hook with massive synth layers] Can't read my, can't read my, no, he can't read my poker face! (She's got him in the matrix!) Can't read my, can't read my, no, he can't read my poker face! (Another victim in the chase!) P-P-P-Poker Face, P-P-P-Poker Face! [Shout] P-P-P-Poker Face, P-P-P-Poker Face! [Verse 2] [Bass drops low, robotic filter on vocals] Russian Roulette with a digital gun I promise you, my darling, this is strictly fun Casino Royale, we are playing in the dark I'm the queen of clubs and I'm a dangerous shark You bet your money but you're betting your heart I'm gonna tear your little poker world apart! [Pre-Chorus] [Build-up with rising synthesizer pitch and fast claps] I wanna hold 'em like they do in Vegas, pleasuring Fold 'em, let 'em, hit me, raise it, baby, stay with me! Luck is a lady but she's wearing my disguise Just look into my cybernetic eyes! [Bridge] [Beat stops, only an ambient synth pad and raw vocal fry] Check-raise... I am the dealer tonight. All in... you better pray for the light. [Snare roll starts, getting faster and louder] Three... Two... One... Show your hand! [Chorus] [Maximum energy, full electronic club production] Can't read my, can't read my, no, he can't read my poker face! (She's got him in the matrix!) Can't read my, can't read my, no, he can't read my poker face! (Another victim in the chase!) [Outro] [Music starts to stutter and echo away] Mum-mum-mum-mah... P-p-p-poker face... [Sound Effect: Massive pile of poker chips crashing down] [Voice Sample, laughing whisper]: "I win." [Final heavy synthesizer chord] [End]
