Bonkers In Teacups

Rap with a swung, mid-tempo bounce and playful boom-bap drum programming, slippery bass hits, celesta and music-box runs; verse rides sparse kicks and rimshots, pre-chorus strips to bass and handclaps, chorus opens with stacked female backup vocals and chant-like doubles on the anchor, Ear candy: reversed tea-sip swells, harp gliss under transitions, tiny clock ticks before drops, Crisp, glossy mix with tight low end and close-mic male lead, rap, male vocals, beats

[Verse 1] I found a grin in the glass On a table set for two You were tipping all your clocks Like the rules were made for you Saying cards can speak in code And the sugar knows your name I wore my nerves like a coat You wore chaos like a chain Your tie was bent like a joke Your hat had crumbs on the brim You asked me if I was lost I said, "I came here by whim" [Pre-Chorus] Then you leaned in close Like a secret you could hear And the room turned soft When your laugh cut clear [Chorus] Have I gone mad? You said it first Have I gone mad? Or just the worst? (You're entirely bonkers) (You're entirely bonkers) But if that is true Then I'm with you [Verse 2] Alice in the corner seat With her eyes too sharp to blink You were mixing moon and milk In a cup of painted pink She said, "Mind the mirror lane" Then she vanished down the hall I could swear the teacups moved When the shadows hit the wall You kept talking to the air Like it owed you an apology I kept nodding to the beat Of your strange geography [Pre-Chorus] Then you smiled like You had seen this all before And the silence wore a crown As it rolled across the floor [Chorus] Have I gone mad? You said it first Have I gone mad? Or just the worst? (You're entirely bonkers) (You're entirely bonkers) But if that is true Then I'm with you [Bridge] She said, "Tell him the secret" With a glint in her eye "All the best ones break the mold And they don't ask why" So I raised my cup To the wreck and the charm If the world calls it madness I call it being on your arm [Final Chorus] Have I gone mad? You said it first Have I gone mad? Or just the worst? (You're entirely bonkers) (You're entirely bonkers) But if that is true Then I'm with you (All the best people) (Usually are)
