[INTRO — whispered male baritone, piano and muted trumpet] Midnight calling... The night is all we own. [VERSE 1 — sly, rhythmic vocal] The year is young, the streets are gold, A thousand secrets waiting to be told. Black silk, red lips, a cigarette, The wildest night we won't forget. The rich get richer, the poor pretend, That every party will never end. [PRE-CHORUS — rising brass and bass] The clock is ticking, the lights are low, There's nowhere left we need to go. [CHORUS — explosive cabaret groove] Dance like kings, drink like fools, Break the hearts, rewrite the rules. [POST-CHORUS — crowd chant] Hey! Hey! Let the wild night roll! Hey! Hey! Sell a little soul! Hey! Hey! Till the morning light— Berlin belongs to us tonight! [VERSE 2 — deep, confident, half-spoken] The gentlemen wear their Sunday smiles, The ladies rule these crooked miles. A crooked deal, a perfect suit, A silver tongue and dancing boots. [PRE-CHORUS — drums building] So raise your glass, forget the cost, We're all in love, we're all half-lost. [CHORUS — full brass and pounding drums] Dance like kings, drink like fools, Break the hearts, rewrite the rules. [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK — trumpet solo and theatrical drum solo] [Male whispers over a walking bass] One more dance... One more lie... One more kiss Before goodbye. [BRIDGE — intimate piano, soulful baritone] For every dream, a price to pay, For every dawn, a night away. And though the years may steal our song, Tonight, my darling, we belong. [BUILD — snare rolls, rising brass, stomping feet] Faster! Higher! Burn the night! Raise your glass into the light! No sorrow! No warning! No regret! The greatest night we haven't lived yet! [FINAL CHORUS — massive brass, layered male vocals] Dance like kings, drink like fools, Break the hearts, rewrite the rules. Hear the trumpets, feel the flame— We'll be legends without names! THE SONG GOES ON! [OUTRO — beat stops, solo piano and distant trumpet] The glasses are empty. The streets turn grey. The time's over... But not today. [Whisper] Play it again.
