[Intro] (Driving 16th-note bassline starts – rhythmic "ts-ts-ts-ts" hi-hats) (Electric Bouzouki enters with a mysterious, exotic melody – lots of "tremolo") (Sound of ice in glasses and people talking in a crowded club) [Male Verse - Warm Baritone] I saw you dancing in the dust and light A silver vision in the dead of night. I followed shadows to the water's edge To keep a promise and a secret pledge. But every time I try to touch your hand You disappear like water in the sand. [Female Verse - Sultry Alto] Don't be afraid to chase the golden dream Nothing is ever really what it seems. The desert wind is playing with your mind Leave all the logic and the world behind. I am the rhythm in the salt and sea Just close your eyes and come along with me. [Bridge - Electric Bouzouki Solo] (The bouzouki plays an exotic, fast-paced solo – "oriental-disco" style) (Crowd starts rhythmic clapping and shouting: "Opa!", "Come on!") [Chorus - Duet with Massive Crowd] (Crowd singing along – high energy) It’s a silver mirage / under the moon Dancing too fast and leaving too soon! It’s a silver mirage / a trick of the light Lost in the heat of the disco night! (Bouzouki response: Sharp, echoing riffs) [Verse 3 - Duet] Is it a dream or is it real? Only the rhythm knows the way we feel. From the Aegean to the burning stars We’re hiding love behind the silver bars! [Final Chorus - Duet with Massive Crowd] (Full orchestral strings and heavy bass pulse) It’s a silver mirage / under the moon Dancing too fast and leaving too soon! It’s a silver mirage / a trick of the light Lost in the heat of the disco night! [Outro] (Bouzouki and strings fade out with the driving bassline) (Crowd whistling and cheering) (Final drum fill and hi-hat sizzle) [End]
