CHROME MIRAGE: Venus on Rollerblades (Jamiroquai style)

[Intro, Dominant 9th stabs, Falsetto adlibs, Tape-saturated funk] Slide the visor low, let the boulevard sway Silver wheels carving figures through the holiday Champagne dashboards blinking in the heat Velvet engines purring underneath the street [Verse 1, Syncopated clavinet, Male voice, Disco-funk pocket] You move like mercury escaping every hand White leather meteor crossing desert sand Gold cassette laughter spilling from the door Everybody watching but they're asking for more Turn the signal over Spin the dial to red Your perfume hits the summer Like champagne to the head [Chorus, Chic-style guitar chops, Layered harmonies, Wide stereo groove] She’s a chrome mirage Cutting through the boulevard heat High-heeled comet Keeping every heartbeat offbeat She bends the room sideways Every eye starts leaning her way Chrome mirage Gone before the colors can stay [Post-Chorus, Talkbox textures, Percussive synth pops] Ha-ah, slide across the avenue Ha-ah, everybody turning blue Ha-ah, burn the rubber soft and slow Ha-ah, where she stops nobody knows [Verse 2, Slap bass drive, Airy falsetto doubles, Analog sheen] Mirrored sunglasses catching sunset wine Motorway lipstick tasting sweet as lime You laugh and all the traffic changes pace Casino constellations painted on your face [Bridge, Jazz-funk modulation, Whisper stack vocals, Cymbal wash] No map can hold you No camera frame survives You disappear smiling With sparks around the tires [Final Chorus, Expanded harmonies, Disco strings, Saturated master bus] She’s a chrome mirage Turning midnight into gold Fast-lane lover With a future no one holds She bends the room sideways Every soul caught under the sway Chrome mirage Gone before the colors can stay [Outro, Muted guitar vamp, Vinyl crackle, Breath fade] Silver wheels fading near the coastline glow Still chasing traces where the fast girls go
