[Intro — E minor, 117 BPM, funky syncopated bass groove, rhythm guitar stabs, sharp vocal percussion and gasps building energy] Uh Come on Watch me move [Verse 1 — tight, high tenor to falsetto vocal, syncopated rhythmic phrasing with rapid hiccups, punchy and forward in the mix] Turning circles in the mirror light Something's following me through the night It's my own reflection on the wall Matching each move, matching them all It won't leave me, it won't let go Dancing with a shadow, steady flow Try to shake it, try to break away It keeps coming back to have its say [Pre-Chorus — falsetto ad-libs and syncopated vocal hiccups, groove tightening, horns entering] Ooh, can't stop this feeling in my feet Ooh, this shadow moves to the same beat Ooh, I try to run but I can't hide Dancing with the thing that's on my side [Chorus — big horn stabs, funky slap bass, catchy call-and-response hook, layered falsetto ad-libs and vocal harmonies] Shadow dancer, you're part of me Can't dance away from what I refuse to see Shadow dancer, closer than my skin No escaping where the truth begins Shadow dancer, you're part of me No more running, this is who I'll be [Verse 2 — deeper pocket groove, funk guitar comping, vocal punchier and more syncopated] Late night, funky rhythm on repeat Shadow keeping perfect time with my feet Try to trick it, spin out fast It's already there, got the last laugh I'm the one who's supposed to lead the way But this shadow's calling all the shots today Still I move, still I find the groove Something 'bout this dance I can't refuse [Pre-Chorus — falsetto ad-libs and syncopated vocal hiccups, groove tightening, horns entering] Ooh, can't stop this feeling in my feet Ooh, this shadow moves to the same beat Ooh, I try to run but I can't hide Dancing with the thing that's on my side [Chorus — big horn stabs, funky slap bass, catchy call-and-response hook, layered falsetto ad-libs and vocal harmonies] Shadow dancer, you're part of me Can't dance away from what I refuse to see Shadow dancer, closer than my skin No escaping where the truth begins Shadow dancer, you're part of me No more running, this is who I'll be [Bridge — breakdown to just bass and drums, vocal ad-libs and rhythmic gasps, tension building before final hook] Break it down, break it down Nothing but the bassline and the sound Break it down, break it down Shadow and I are not backing down [Chorus — full energy, horns and strings layered in, falsetto ad-libs and harmonies stacked for maximum hook impact] Shadow dancer, you're part of me Can't dance away from what I refuse to see Shadow dancer, closer than my skin No escaping where the truth begins Shadow dancer, you're part of me No more running, this is who I'll be [instrumental break] [Outro — falsetto runs and ad-libs fading over sparse funk groove, bass and rhythm guitar trailing off] Shadow dancer, you're part of me Shadow dancer, you're part of me Move for move Shadow dancer
