[Intro: Deafening crowd cheering, a heavy distorted guitar riff kicks in, drums pounding] [shouting into the mic] "How we doing tonight?! Are you ready to tear this place apart?!" [Band kicks into high gear] [Verse 1] [Raw, aggressive vocals] She's got a camera like a loaded gun Waiting for the moment, waiting for the sun She's moving in the shadows, dancing with the light Looking for a victim in the middle of the night She doesn't care about the fame or the prize She only wants the fire burning in my eyes [Pre-Chorus] [crowd sings along] She’s getting in my head! (HEAD!) Hanging by a thread! (THREAD!) She makes no sense! (SENSE!) Safe behind her lens! (LENS!) Let's go! [Chorus] [Massive wall of sound, energetic delivery] She clicks the shutter and she steals my soul! My dark haired girl, she makes me lose control! She’s the only thing that’s real tonight! Burning up the film with her black and white! Yeah, she’s the witness to the crime Freezing up the hands of time! [Verse 2] [Slightly breathless, running across the stage] I'm posing like a statue, sweating in the heat She's the only reason that my heart can beat Focus on the hunger, focus on the pain Capture all the glory, capture all the rain I don't need a mirror to see who I am I just need the woman with the camera in her hand! [Pre-Chorus, crowd sings along] Sing it! She’s getting in my head! (HEAD!) Hanging by a thread! (THREAD!) She makes no sense! (SENSE!) Safe behind her lens! (LENS!) (YEAH!) [Chorus] [Full throttle, guitar wailing] She clicks the shutter and she steals my soul! My dark haired girl, she makes me lose control! She’s the only thing that’s real tonight! Burning up the film with her black and white! Yeah, she’s the witness to the crime Freezing up the hands of time! [Interlude/Break] [music stops, crowd cheering] [Spoken word] there's someone here tonight. She's probably hiding in the wings right now, pissed off that I'm talking about her. Elena... my love... my everyrhing... Elena... this is for you. I want every single one of you to blow the roof off this place! Sing it with me! One, two, three, let's go!" [Bridge] [The drums slam back in like a gunshot, building a massive crescendo] Focus... Focus... [Screaming with raw power] FOCUS ON ME! [Chorus] [Crowd sings along] She clicks the shutter and she steals my soul! (My dark haired girl, she makes me lose control!) She’s the only thing that’s real tonight! (Burning up the film with her black and white!) Yeah, she’s the witness to the crime Freezing up the hands of time! I'M ONLY SINGING THIS FOR YOU! [Outro] [Chaotic, heavy drum fills, guitar feedback wailing] For you! (Click, flash!) For you! (Click, flash!) [A final, deafening crash on the cymbals and a heavy guitar chord that rings out] "Thank you! Goodnight!" [Sustained distortion] [End]
