[Intro] [instrumental: electric piano riff, wah guitar, bass groove, muted trumpet] [Verse 1] [female vocal, smoky and playful] You didn’t see me in the light I moved where shadows learn to smile You kept your kingdom polished bright But I was watching all the while One little crack inside your crown One little step behind your pride By the time you turn around I’m already at your side [Pre-Chorus] [brass stabs, drums tighten] No bell rings No curtain call You won’t know Before you fall [Chorus] [full acid-jazz funk groove] No warning shot No second chance I caught your heart Inside the dance You played it cool You played it clean But I slipped through The in-between No warning shot No time to run The game was over Before it begun Smile for me now Don’t look so shocked You never heard The final knock [Instrumental Break] [muted trumpet solo, bass run, electric piano comping] [Verse 2] [female vocal, sharper and teasing] You built your walls with pretty lies Hung golden rules above the door But every truth you tried to hide Left footprints on the marble floor I don’t need rage to make you kneel I don’t need thunder in my hands The quiet blade you never feel Is always where the silence stands [Pre-Chorus 2] [snare fills, brass rising] Too late now The mask is thin Your own doubt Let me in [Chorus] [stronger groove, backing vocals] No warning shot No second chance I caught your heart Inside the dance You played it cool You played it clean But I slipped through The in-between No warning shot No time to run The game was over Before it begun Smile for me now Don’t look so shocked You never heard The final knock [Bridge] [half-time groove, electric piano and bass] Let the lights go low Let the cards fall slow All your secrets know my name When the truth walks in With a crooked grin Nothing ever stays the same [Final Chorus] [full band, brass hits, layered female harmonies] No warning shot No second chance I caught your heart Inside the dance You played it cool You played it clean But I slipped through The in-between No warning shot No time to run The game was over Before it begun Smile for me now Don’t look so shocked You never heard The final knock [Outro] [instrumental: wah guitar, electric piano, final brass stab]
