Parliament of fur and feathers

V6

[INTRO] (Heavy walking beat: THUMP‑click‑THUMP‑click) (Trombone tip‑toes like a mischievous spirit entering the room) [VERSE 1 — Mythic Blues-Rap] The house is full of spirits, and most of ’em have fur Some whisper in the shadows, some rumble when they purr I’m hunting for my left boot, racing out the door While the ferret guards the secrets hidden in the floor. He’s the keeper of the lost things, guardian of the Oops While I’m dancing through the fire of a thousand daily loops They say I’m living lonely, they pity what they see But they don’t know the royalty that’s living here with me. [PRE-CHORUS — Animal Brass Council] One’s a silver anchor, one’s a lightning bolt One’s a tiny dragon in a middle-aged revolt. (Clean Brass Blast — each horn mimics an animal) [CHORUS — Cronewave Carnival] Oh, I’m walking with the wild! I’m talking to the beasts! At the table of the misfits, we are having us a feast You see a crazy lady, I see a sacred line Between the creature’s heartbeat and this messy soul of mine. (Trombone Hook — bouncy, funky, triumphant) [VERSE 2 — Etta James Meets Björk in Havana] My cat is judging my choices from the top of the fridge He’s watched me build a life and only make a bridge My dog thinks I’m a goddess even in a heap They’re the only ones who understand the company I keep. We don’t need a filter, we don’t need a perfect view We’re just a parliament of weirdos making it through Feather, fur, and heartbeat — the oldest kind of lore A council of the wild ones guarding every door. [BRIDGE — Witchy Strut Breakdown] (Vocal): The ferret took the slipper… [Brass: Honk! ] (Vocal): The dog took the lead… [Brass: Growls! ] (Vocal): The cat stole the spirit… That’s all the magic I need. (Trombone Solo — sounds like a ferret sprinting through a brass labyrinth) [CHORUS 3: The "Invisible Mass" Reprise] (Full Gospel-Goth Explosion) Oh, we’re loving all the bits that the neighbors never find! The chaos in the hallway, the gold inside the mind! I’ve broken every mold, I’ve buried all the glass Me and my menagerie—The Invisible Mass! [OUTRO] (Hyper-danceable, rhythmic finale) (Wait... where's my other shoe?) (Seriously... I had it a second ago...) (Final Triumphant Trombone Fanfare) (Sound of a door slamming)
