Electric Paradise
[Intro: 118 BPM, sparkling analog arpeggio immediately establishes D major, filtered kick pulse, reversed vocal fragments, warm Juno-style pad swelling underneath, distant falsetto "ahh" drifting across stereo field] [Verse 1] I saw you dancing underneath the satellites Silver on your skin, diamonds in your eyes Everybody sleeping while the city turned blue I don't know where I'm going But I'm going there with you [Drums snap fully into place on final line; bass rises into chorus with no pre-chorus] [Chorus] Electric paradise We're alive, we're alive Running through the neon night Like we're never gonna die Electric paradise You and I, you and I If tomorrow disappears We can stay right here tonight [Post-Chorus: bright five-note synth hook answers the vocal, chopped falsetto echoes "paradise"] [Verse 2] Cars become comets underneath the boulevard Every broken window looks like falling stars You draw a doorway on the fogged-up glass Say, "Come on, don't think about it" And we leave the world behind [Chorus] Electric paradise We're alive, we're alive Running through the neon night Like we're never gonna die Electric paradise You and I, you and I If tomorrow disappears We can stay right here tonight [Extended Instrumental Break: 32 bars, pulsing bass and four-on-the-floor drums beneath soaring analog synth lead; rhythmic guitar enters halfway; synth becomes increasingly psychedelic with pitch bends, tape echoes and vocoder fragments] [Everything abruptly drops except arpeggiator] [Verse 3] Morning's waiting somewhere But it hasn't found us yet Maybe that's the secret Maybe we just forget [Kick returns] There was ever anything Outside of me and you [Massive drum fill] [Double Chorus] Electric paradise We're alive, we're alive Running through the neon night Like we're never gonna die Electric paradise You and I, you and I If tomorrow disappears We can stay right here tonight [Second chorus adds octave lead vocal, huge falsetto harmonies and additional synth countermelody] Electric paradise We're alive, we're alive Nothing but electric light Burning through another night Electric paradise You and I, you and I Let the whole world disappear I don't need it when you're here [Outro: drums continue beneath repeating five-note synth motif; vocals become increasingly distant] Paradise... Paradise... Electric... [Hard cut after final synth delay]
