[Intro]
[Aggressive turntable scratching over a slow, tense upright bass]
[Explosive minor-key brass stab]
[Vocals: Low, breathy, incredibly close to the mic]
Strike the match.
Drop it in.

[Verse 1]
[A frantic, high-speed acoustic drum break kicks in]
[Vocals: Fast, rhythmic, riding the chaotic beat]
The warning lights are flashing red.
I memorized the things you said.
The odds are stacked, the ice is thin.
A flawless place for us to spin.
I feel the tremor in the floor.
I'm stepping past the heavy door.
You hold a secret in the dark.
I am the flint and you the spark.

[Pre-Chorus]
[Drums cut out. Only rapid turntable scratching and a single horn]
[Vocals: Gliding smoothly upwards, unbothered by the chaos]
I know the ice is going to break.
I know exactly what is at stake.

[Chorus]
[The full band erupts into a massive, driving jazz-funk groove]
[Vocals: Powerhouse belting, totally in command]
I want this dangerous game!
(Spinning the wheel)
Playing with a highly combustible flame!
(Spinning the wheel)
I want the adrenaline rushing the blood!
I want to be standing right here in the flood!
Don't offer me safety, don't offer me peace!
I'm waiting for gravity's sudden release!
A dangerous game!

[Verse 2]
[Breakbeat returns, faster than before]
[Vocals: Sharp, biting, highly percussive]
I threw away the careful mind.
The parachute is left behind.
The needle pushes past the red.
I'm living where the angels tread.
You try to warn me of the cost.
Of every ship that navigated and lost.
But I prefer the jagged edge.
I'm dancing on the highest ledge.

[Outro]
[Frenetic turntable scratch solo mimicking a car skidding out of control]
[Vocals: A sharp, sudden laugh]
Catch me. I want it.
[Music stops instantly]
