**Title: VELVET TRIGGER** [Intro – Cinematic Spy Vamp] [Dark piano pulse, walking bass, brushed snare] [Surf-noir guitar answers brass in a chromatic spy motif] [Female vocal – smoky, close, dangerous] You left your name in a locked hotel drawer A red silk thread on a marble floor One glass turned over One lie still warm And the night came dressed for war [Brass stab] Mm, velvet trigger [Verse 1 – Low, controlled, seductive] Black car waiting by the service gate Gold watch ticking like it knows my fate You smiled too sweet when the cameras died Now I know what you came to hide There’s a code in the cufflink A map in the wine A kiss on my collar That was never mine You sold me a promise Then cut the wire Now I’m walking straight into the fire [Pre-Chorus – Rising strings, bigger drums] Oh, you played it so smooth With your hand on your heart But the closer I got The more you fell apart Now the room turns cold And the chandeliers shake One more move And the whole world breaks [Chorus – Huge, beautiful, dangerous melody] Velvet trigger Finger on the truth tonight Velvet trigger Love me in the line of fire One little kiss One little crime You stole the secret But the secret was mine Velvet trigger Pull me close and say goodbye [Post-Chorus – Brass/guitar spy vamp] Da-da, danger in the dark Da-da, diamonds leave a mark Da-da, look me in the eyes Velvet trigger Beautiful lie [Verse 2 – More attitude, blues-rock swagger] White gloves, black dress, elevator slow Penthouse mirror with a bullet-hole glow Your silhouette split by the city light Like a bad decision dressed in white You had queens on the table Kings in your sleeve A saint in the papers A thief underneath But I kept the ace You never saw Now your golden little empire falls [Pre-Chorus 2 – Bigger lift, brass hits] Oh, you danced through the smoke Like a man with no scars But I counted the exits I memorized the guards Now the strings climb high And the sirens wake One more smile And the whole world breaks [Chorus – Bigger, more explosive] Velvet trigger Finger on the truth tonight Velvet trigger Love me in the line of fire One little kiss One little crime You stole the secret But the secret was mine Velvet trigger Pull me close and say goodbye [Bridge – Slow cinematic breakdown] [Drop to piano, bass, distant timpani] No more champagne No more disguise No more heaven Behind those eyes You wanted the crown You wanted the flame You wanted my heart But not my name [Spy Vamp – Instrumental] [Brass stabs in sharp half-steps] [Surf guitar tremolo riff] [Strings swell like opening-title silhouettes] [Drums build with dramatic fills] [Final Pre-Chorus – Powerful emotional vocal] So take your last bow Under broken gold light Every secret has teeth Every shadow can bite And when the curtain falls On the game that you made I’ll be the last thing You see on the stage [Final Chorus – Full orchestra, powerhouse vocal] Velvet trigger Finger on the truth tonight Velvet trigger Love me in the line of fire One little kiss One little crime You stole the secret But the secret was mine Velvet trigger Pull me close and say goodbye [Final Hook – Repeat, cinematic climax] Velvet trigger Danger never looked so kind Velvet trigger I was yours, but you were mine One little kiss One little crime You stole the secret But the secret was mine [Outro – Big Bond-style ending, original motif] [Brass hits, strings rise, guitar sting] Velvet trigger Say goodbye [Final sustained powerhouse note] Goodbye
