(Intro) [Heavy, Rhythmic breathing] [Deep synth-bassline] (T. Y. S. O. N.) [Verse 1] The streetlights flicker, in a hollow glow, I’m walking fast, but the shadows grow (Ooh!) A silver whisper, in the midnight air I turn around, but there’s no one there. They’re writing stories, that they want to sell They’re ringing hammers, on a broken bell (No no) I see the outline, of a ghost I knew Is it the world, or is it just you? [Vocal Snap] [Pre-Chorus] [Synthesizer swells] Don’t look back, don’t you blink your eye Truth is a secret, that the lonely buy [Scratching] T.K.O [Chorus] [Explosive Brass Stab] There’s a shadow on the glass, watching me move Dancing in the rhythm, finding the groove It’s not the fire, it’s not the flame It’s just a player in a dangerous game! [Scratching] "Oh no" Shadow on the glass! (Ooh!) You can’t hide, what you can’t surpass. [Vocal Snap] [Verse 2] [Gritty Vocal] [Staccato Guitar] You told the neighbors, I was losing ground But I’m the only one, who’s still around Like Vanessa's eyes or a Beckies pride There ain't no place, for a lie to hide. Stop the press, let the cameras fade I’m stepping out, of the mess you made! [Vocal Snap] [Chorus] There’s a shadow on the glass, watching me move Dancing in the rhythm, finding the groove It’s not the fire, it’s not the flame It’s just a player in a dangerous game! Shadow on the glass! [Scratching] "T.k.O!" [Melodic Breakdown] [Bridge] [Stripped-Back] [Bass and Percussion] [Spoken Gritty Vocal] Look at the man. Look at the mirror. The reflection is getting... clearer. (Crescendo) CHANGE! (Yeah, yeah!) [Vocal Drop] "WE GOTTA MAKE THAT CHANGE!" [Pre-Chorus] [Guitar Solo] [High-Energy] Oh baby, baby, babygirl... [Distorted Rock Solo] [Chorus] There’s a shadow on the glass, watching me move Dancing in the rhythm, finding the groove It’s not the fire, it’s not the flame It’s just a player in a dangerous game! [Vocal Snap] [Outro] [Ad-libs] Keep on dancing! (Come on, baby!) I see you watching me! (Watching Me!) Don’t you lie to me! (Keep it Real!) [Scratching] "B-B-Bad Like this! B-B-Bad Like this!" [End]
