🃏 OnOrE — ROGUE [Intro — walking bass, brass stab] Ba-da-bap... Shoo-bee-doo-ap... Rogue. — Oh-oh-oh... [Verse 1 — swinging long lines] I'm a rogue, baby — tail riding high, We're dancing together — you catch my eye. You're spinning right next to me, I watch the game — What a mess just walked in, and I know its name. — Ba-da-bap! Shoo-bee! But I'm your hero, darling — don't rush away, You thought you'd flirt and tear my dreams apart today. Thought you were a saviour bringing wine for water — But who is he really, this dream-dealing author? — Doo-wa-doo-ap! [Pre-Chorus — slower, ironic] Rogue — nothing more, my dear, Better walk away — don't linger here. — Walk away... walk away... La-la-la — ba-da-bap! [Chorus — swing feel, brass kicks] La-la-la — better walk away, — Walk away! Shoo-bee-doo — let it go today, — Today! Rogue, a rogue — knows the price of words, — Of words! Ba-da-bap — don't believe what you heard. — You heard... [Verse 2 — funky, syncopated] The rustle of money — oh what a sweet sound, baby, Expensive handbag, iPhone gleaming — maybe. Rattling in the corner — but the pocket's hollow, Plays you for a fool — so elegant to follow. — Doo-wa-doo-ap! Ba-da! Smile like an ad in a glittering window, Words smooth as silk — with poison in the middle. Today a prince — tomorrow he's dissolved, Our hero in his jacket — the case is never solved. — Shoo-bee-doo-ap! [Bridge — conversational, bass solo under] Thought he was a prince? — Prince... ba-da-bap! Just a crook, darling. — Crook! Thought it was paradise? — Paradise... shoo-bee-doo! Turned out — a hive. — Uuu! [Final Chorus — full band, brass fortissimo] La-la-la — better walk away, — Walk away! Shoo-bee-doo — let it go today, — Today! Rogue, a rogue — knows the price of words, — Of words! Ba-da-bap — don't believe what you heard. — You heard... [Outro — walking bass fades] Rogue... — Ba-da-bap... La-la-la... — Shoo-bee-doo... Walk away... — Walk away... *(laughter, silence)*
