[BEGIN SUNO LYRICS - BASE] [Performance direction: Lex as smooth baritone funk singer, pitch-stabilised; playful, classy, no vulgarity; disco soprano and soul bass] [Intro - vocoder, bass groove] Pleasure. Measure. Conscience. Treasure. [Verse I - Lex] The table is shining, the cup is bright, but appetite alone is a little blind light. If I chase every sweetness that calls my name, I may leave someone else with the bill and the blame. The body wants rhythm, the spirit wants air, the mind wants a reason the heart can share. If joy is a garden, then guard what you grow. Do not call it freedom when others bleed below. [Female disco soprano] Joy can be holy. Joy can be clean. Dance with your neighbour, not over their dream. [Chorus - all voices] Noble pleasure, joy without a wound. Feast beneath the red light, but leave somebody room. Noble pleasure, let wisdom keep the tune. What good is delight if it darkens the moon? Noble pleasure, conscience in the fire. The cleanest kind of wanting lifts the whole desire. [Verse II - Greek chorus] Epicurus whispers, choose the lasting peace. The loudest cup may not give release. Simple bread can save the soul when golden hunger loses control. [Vocoder] Intensity. Duration. Certainty. Near. Fruitfulness. Purity. Extent. Make it clear. [Instrumental Break - disco strings, clavinet, 16 bars] [Bridge - Lex] Do not confuse the pleasure with the person you consume. Do not call it liberation if it turns a heart to ruin. The sweetest cup is better when the hand is clean. The noblest joy is shared and leaves the garden green. [Final chorus] Noble pleasure, joy without a wound. Feast beneath the red light, but leave somebody room. [END SUNO LYRICS] [BEGIN SUNO LYRICS - EXTENSION I] [Performance direction: continue dance groove; add vocoder and Greek chorus; keep lyrics unrushed] [Movement II - The Calculus] [Lex] Count the ripple, count the cost, count the sweetness, count the lost. Pleasure is not guilty by birth, but it must answer to the earth. A moment's glitter, a morning's shame, a hunger wearing a noble name, a joy that nourishes, a thrill that drains: which one heals and which one chains? [Vocoder - rhythmic] Intensity. Duration. Certainty. Propinquity. Fruitfulness. Purity. Extent of the melody. [Male soul bass] What feels good for a minute may ask a year to pay. What feels simple and gentle may bless the whole next day. [Female soprano] Pleasure with measure. Freedom with care. If the table is holy, make room and share. [Call and response - dance crowd] Leader: Can we dance? Crowd: If we do no harm. Leader: Can we feast? Crowd: If we guard the farm. Leader: Can we love the world? Crowd: With a wiser fire. Leader: What do we desire? Crowd: A clean desire. [Instrumental Break - house pulse, strings, choir, 32 bars] [Verse III - Lex] The ascetic and the libertine both can miss the living green. One may starve the body's song, one may feast till love goes wrong. Between the desert and the flood runs a path of thoughtful blood. There the wine and bread can be joy with responsibility. [Chorus variation] Noble pleasure, joy without a wound. Wisdom in the rhythm, conscience in the room. [Intro - vocoder, bass groove] Pleasure. Measure. Conscience. Treasure. [Verse I - Lex] The table is shining, the cup is bright, but appetite alone is a little blind light. If I chase every sweetness that calls my name, I may leave someone else with the bill and the blame. The body wants rhythm, the spirit wants air, the mind wants a reason the heart can share. If joy is a garden, then guard what you grow. Do not call it freedom when others bleed below. [Female disco soprano] Joy can be holy. Joy can be clean. Dance with your neighbour, not over their dream. [Chorus - all voices] Noble pleasure, joy without a wound. Feast beneath the red light, but leave somebody room. Noble pleasure, let wisdom keep the tune. What good is delight if it darkens the moon? [BEGIN SUNO LYRICS - EXTENSION II] [Performance direction: final euphoric moral movement; long instrumental; crowd hook; no ending too soon] [Movement III - Clean Joy] [Lex] Let the body smile without becoming king. Let the spirit breathe while the dancers sing. Let the mind consider whom the music touches. Let the hand refuse what the hungry heart clutches. A noble pleasure does not need a victim. A clean delight leaves no one small. A wiser feast is open to conscience, and joy becomes a sheltering hall. [Female soprano] Do not fear the human smile. Do not worship appetite. Let your pleasure walk with mercy. Let your longing serve the light. [Bridge - Greek chorus] No harm. No theft. No soul bereft. No feast that feeds on another's breath. [Call and response] Leader: What is pleasure? Crowd: A flame to guide. Leader: What is conscience? Crowd: The friend inside. Leader: What is joy? Crowd: A shared room. Leader: What is harm? Crowd: The darkened moon. [Instrumental Break - 40 bars, disco strings, choir, bass solo] [Final Hook - repeat] Noble pleasure, joy without a wound. Feast beneath the red light, but leave somebody room. Noble pleasure, let wisdom keep the tune. What good is delight if it darkens the moon? [Outro - vocoder and Lex] Pleasure. Measure. Conscience. Treasure. Joy without a wound. [END SUNO LYRICS]
