[Intro] [match strike, sub swell, whisper, spoken, Mood: Mysterious, Energy: Low] Uh… yeah… Can you feel that chill? (So cold…) [Verse 1] [tight pocket, lean phrasing, Instrument: Dominant slap bass, sub-bass sine, muted guitar scratches, Vocal Style: Breathy, Low-register, Sensual] I’m the draft that dances down your spine, Shiver in the rhythm out of space and time. Sofa sinks low but there’s no one there, Just sulfur in the air and expensive hair. I slide through drywall, sleek and cold, Don’t want your heart — I want your motor-control. (Give it up…) (Let the spirit in…) [Pre-Chorus] [build, stop-time hits on last bar, Instrument: Rim-click builds, dark analog pads, Energy: Medium → High] Temperature dropping, low degree, You’re losing every lock and door-bolt key. Shadow moving solo on the bedroom wall, I’m the hollow echo in the entry hall. [Chorus] [big horn hook + gang replies, Instrument: Heavy 808 sub, gated snare, wah-washed guitar stabs, detuned brass] Ooh — it’s a Velvet Possession, Itch in your soul, ghost in your machine. Sweet dark obsession, Prettiest shadow you’ve ever seen. Slide to the left, feel the cold spot grow, I’m the one who’s leading — didn’t you know? (ha-ha…) [Verse 2] [half-time on drums, bass louder, Instrument: Sub-bass boost, tight ghost notes, smoky sax lines] Your pulse is the metronome I’m using to play, I haunt your holy water till it turns to grey. Poltergeist in platform shoes, Breakin’ all the china just to get to you. Don’t call the priest, babe, he’s got no rhythm, I take your inhibitions — bury ’em with him. (Unh!) [Pre-Chorus] [build, stop-time hits on last bar, Instrument: Rim-click builds, rising synth swell, Energy: Medium → High] Temperature dropping, low degree, You’re losing every lock and door-bolt key. Shadow moving solo on the bedroom wall, I’m the hollow echo in the entry hall. [Chorus] [repeat, add call/response, Instrument: Full brass stabs, driving slap bass] Ooh — it’s a Velvet Possession, (Your body, my room.) Itch in your soul, ghost in your machine. (Your pulse, my tune.) Sweet dark obsession, Prettiest shadow you’ve ever seen. Slide to the left, feel the cold spot grow, I’m the one who’s leading — didn’t you know? [Bridge] [breakdown: kick + rim + sub + breath, Instrument: Minimal sub-bass, dry rhythmic snaps] Flesh is a cage… Rhythm is the key… Unlock the ribs… And dance with me. (Solve et coagula…) (Shake it…) (Solve et coagula…) [Instrumental Break] [8–16 bars, Slap-bass feature with pop and ghost notes, concise fuzzed guitar solo, wah guitar stabs, smoky sax answers, short menacing horn hits dropping out for bass] [Chorus] [full band, ad libs, Instrument: Maximum density, explosive drums, heavy sub-bass, B3 organ stabs, Reverb Swell] Ooh — it’s a Velvet Possession, (It’s a possession!) Itch in your soul, ghost in your machine. (The ghost in the machine!) Sweet dark obsession, (So sweet… so cold…) Prettiest shadow you’ve ever seen. Slide to the left, feel the cold spot grow, I’m the one who’s leading — didn’t you know? [Outro] [vamp on “On the One”, fade, Instrument: Slap-bass groove, distant organ drone, heartbeat sub-bass] I’m under your skin now. We’re wearing your body like a vintage suit. Keep the lights off. The groove is eternal. (Boo.) [End] [Fade to low-frequency hum, heartbeat slowly syncing to groove]
