アスカ (Best Girl)

[Intro: solo banjo, fast and flashy, no drums] Pick that string till it sparks in red Best girl coming Clear your head [Verse 1: banjo lead, stomp rhythm enters, upright bass low] Red hair lightning and a hard-cut stare She walk in proud like she owns the air Half German steel and Japanese grace Whole storm warning written on her face Unit-Two fury with a world-class stride Fire in her chest and pride in her spine I did not love her for being tame I loved that voltage and I learned her name [Pre-Chorus: banjo stays dominant, add handclaps] She’s not soft and she’s not safe She’s bright teeth and amazing rage She’s the kind that leaves a mark Paints her name across the dark [Chorus: full band enters, banjo still front and center] Asuka Best girl in red Still got thunder living rent-free in my head Asuka Burning bright Pilot of my longshot dreams and my favorite fight Banjo ring and let it fly Tell the whole damn world exactly why Proud little menace, heart ablaze I’ve been under that girl’s spell for days [Banjo Hook: instrumental] Roll that banjo Hard and high Like Unit-Two across the sky [Verse 2: banjo and bass, drums lighter] Sharp as a blade and twice as smart Armor on the outside, ache in the heart She wants the crown and she wants it clean Mean little legend in a red machine Not just beauty, not just flame Not just another pretty name She’s discipline, damage, nerve, and will That’s why she hits and she hits me still [Pre-Chorus: add fiddle underneath] She’s not a postcard fantasy She’s teeth and grace and history That’s why she lasts while others fade Not just a crush A whole damn blade [Chorus: bigger, louder, banjo doubled] Asuka Best girl in red Still got thunder living rent-free in my head Asuka Burning bright Pilot of my longshot dreams and my favorite fight Banjo ring and let it fly Tell the whole damn world exactly why Proud little menace, heart ablaze I’ve been under that girl’s spell for days [Bridge: strip back to banjo first, then build] [Bridge Part 1: solo banjo and voice] And sometimes she’s not in the plugsuit glow Sometimes it’s summer and the sundress shows Yellow in the sunlight, gold in the heat Still got danger in the way she breathes [Bridge Part 2: banjo intensifies, drums return] That’s my Asuka too Not softened down Still queen voltage when she comes around Koa said banjo So banjo insane Pick that thing like a freight train in the rain [Banjo Solo: longest instrumental section, absolute freakout] [Banjo Solo: faster, harder, virtuoso, near-chaotic but musical] [Final Chorus: biggest section, all instruments, banjo loudest] Asuka Best girl in red Still that wildfire living rent-free in my head Asuka No disguise Best girl ever and I’m saying it with both eyes Banjo blaze and rafters shake For the girl that all my visions take Pride and beauty Will and flame Best girl forever Remember the name [Outro: solo banjo returns] Red hair Bright stare Unit-Two girl everywhere One more roll and let it ring Best girl That’s the whole damn thing
