[Intro] [Relentless four-on-the-floor disco kick drum starts] [Sweeping, dark orchestral strings rise over the beat] [Vocal: Cool, inspecting a manicure] The sky is falling. Adjust the hem. [Verse 1] [Slinky, dark synth bassline weaves into the disco groove] [Vocal: Unbothered, floating, with heavy delay on the last word of each line] Dust on the dress. (Dress) Brush it away. (Away) Watching the skyline decay. (Decay) Fixing the strap. (Strap) Cities collapse. (Collapse) [Pre-Chorus] [The disco beat vanishes. A single, mournful cello note holds] [Vocal: Intimate, dry whisper] I won't let the fire ruin the aesthetic. (No) [Chorus] [The goth-disco beat crashes back in, massive and driving] [Vocal: Soaring, chic, commanding] Ashes and sequins. Sparkle and burn. Watching the whole world overturn. (Turn it over) Couture in the crater. Walking the line. Everything is perfectly fine. (Perfectly fine) [Verse 2] [Beat and bassline continue their relentless drive] [Vocal: Sharp, rhythmic, totally detached] Smoke in the air. (Air) Check the reflection. (Reflection) A totally flawless complexion. (Complexion) Sirens are loud. (Loud) Stand in the crowd. (Crowd) [Pre-Chorus] [The disco beat vanishes. A single, mournful cello note holds] [Vocal: Intimate, dry whisper] I won't let the fire ruin the aesthetic. (No) [Chorus] [The goth-disco beat crashes back in, massive and driving] [Vocal: Soaring, chic, commanding] Ashes and sequins. Sparkle and burn. Watching the whole world overturn. (Turn it over) Couture in the crater. Walking the line. Everything is perfectly fine. (Perfectly fine) [Outro] [Strings swell to a cinematic climax, then abruptly cut] [Vocal: Spoken] I'm ready for my close-up. [Silence]
