[Female lead: low, full, clear, centered, natural. Verses sung in a quick connected pocket. Chorus lighter, beautiful and genuinely melodic. Sing phrases continuously across each written line. No dramatic pauses inside lines unless specifically cued. Written lyrics only.] [VERSE 1 - controlled ride, lean groove] Eyes up, easy throttle, take your time Look through the corner, trust the lean Smooth hands, keep it clean Yellow ride and boots on tight Everything humming under the lights Life is strange and you’re here Might as well shift another gear [PRE-CHORUS - pressure gathering, still restrained] Yeah, it’s heavy, yeah, it’s weird No map, no manual, just the gears Feel the weight Let it shift [ONE-BEAT VACUUM] Got a better idea? No? Excellent. [CHORUS - lighter, melodic, open sky; drums thin out, no claps] Nobody knows what is happening So, wanna make a little magick? Wanna make a little mischief? Good. Let good sense take the night off Let’s... MISBEHAVE [DROP - low end returns crooked and playful, not maximum volume] [POST-CHORUS] [LEAD] Light it up! [GROUP] LIGHT IT UP! [LEAD] Seriously? [GROUP] NO! NOT SERIOUSLY! [LEAD] Okay! [BRIEF VACUUM] LET’S LIGHT ALL THIS HEAVY UP! [MOTOR SURGE] MISBEHAVE! [VERSE 2 - same vocal pocket; music begins reacting around her] Next curve comes a little fast Lean it in and let it pass [BASS JUMPS, THEN VANISHES] Engine jumps then drops away [BASS RETURNS LATE] Comes back somewhere I didn’t say [BASS PULLS AGAINST THE GROOVE] Bass goes left when I go right Something underneath just changed its mind [ALL LOW END CUTS] There it went. [GROOVE RETURNS] One bright line another bend Now I’m following the thing I led [MUSIC LIGHTENS - playful melodic lift] Look at us... absolutely unsupervised [PRE-CHORUS - same meter, new thought] Watch the white lines Take the bend Keep the whole thing loose for once Ride it out Tip it in What a ride [CHORUS - lighter and more beautiful than first] Nobody knows what is happening So, wanna make a little magick? Wanna make a little mischief? Good. Let good sense take the night off Let’s... MISBEHAVE [DROP - same motif returns altered; one expected hit missing] [BRIDGE - increasing speed through the curves, fully sung] Eyes up curve comes fast Lean it in let it pass Left then right the road unwinds Everything arrives on time Somewhere there’s a master plan Color-coded close at hand [HARD CUT] Beautiful. [BEAT] Anyway. [BUILD - perceived speed rises; rhythm starts breaking its own pattern] Take the corner Trust the lean Drop a gear Wake the machine [HIGH-VOLTAGE SURGE] Flip the switch Hit the lights Make it sparkle Let it gleam Open it up Let it run [BRIEF VACUUM] OFF WE GO! [MOTOR SURGE] [BUILD 2 - music increasingly unruly, vocal stays joyful] Take the strange road change the line [MISS EXPECTED DOWNBEAT] Miss the marker that’s just fine Laugh too loud lean again Lose one rule around the bend [BASS MOTIF MUTATES] Shift the weight let it play Leave a little chaos in your wake [EVERYTHING CUTS] MISBEHAVE! [FINAL DROP - huge low end, bright open top, music fully misbehaving] [FINAL CHORUS - biggest melodic release, still light above the bass] Nobody knows what is happening So, wanna make a little magick? Wanna make a little mischief? Wanna have a ridiculous amount of fun? Good. Let good sense take the night off Roll it on Hit the lights OFF WE GO! LET’S... MISBEHAVE! [FINAL DROP - ecstatic, varied responses, not constant wall of sound] [GROUP] LIGHT IT UP! [LEAD] MISBEHAVE! [ONE-BEAT VACUUM] [GROUP] LIGHT IT UP! [LEAD] MISBEHAVE! [MOTOR SURGE] [GROUP] OFF WE GO! [HARD CUT]
