(Intro)
(Fast, clicking 808 bassline starts immediately. Muted, funky guitar chords. A bright, airy synthesizer plays the melody.)
Hee-hee!
Yeah, yeah...
(Ad-lib: Ow!)
It’s 3 AM, and the city is burning...
(Verse 1 - The Weeknd Style: Breathy, R&B delivery)
Midnight call, yeah you’re looking for a thrill (Thrills)
Caught in the neon, and I know you can’t sit still (No)
Your dress is shaking, metallic in the air
You don't care about the risk, baby, you don't care (Ooh)
I know you got a habit, need a little chase
I can see it in your eyes, they never lie in this place
(Pre-Chorus - Transitioning to MJ Style: Higher pitch, tense)
She’s taking me down, down, down (Yeah)
To the edge of the town
And I know I shouldn’t hold on
But the bass is too loud, Shamone!
(Chorus - Both Styles Combined: High energy, falsetto, catchy)
Dancing in the neon shadows, I can’t feel my face
Caught up in the rhythm, baby, loving this escape
Hee-hee!
Neon shadows, under the strobe light
We don’t need to worry, everything is gonna be alright
Ooh!
(Verse 2 - MJ Style: Rhythmic, percussive, sharper vocals)
She told me don’t go, no, she told me stay (Stay!)
But she’s addicted to the game I play (It’s a game!)
The way she moves it, she’s a dangerous girl
She’s taking over, taking over my world!
(Ad-lib: Dirty!... Ow!)
(Pre-Chorus - Intense)
She’s taking me down, down, down
To the edge of the town
And I know I shouldn’t hold on
But the bass is too loud...
(Chorus - High Energy)
Dancing in the neon shadows, I can’t feel my face
Caught up in the rhythm, baby, loving this escape
Hee-hee!
Neon shadows, under the strobe light
We don’t need to worry, everything is gonna be alright
(Bridge - Slows down slightly, dramatic, moody synth)
Lonely nights...
Yeah, I know you’re addicted to the rush
(Ad-lib: Don't stop...)
But if you want my love...
You gotta give it up!
Ow!
(Guitar Solo - High energy, funky 80s style)
(Final Chorus - Max intensity, ad-libs overlapping)
Dancing in the neon shadows, I can’t feel my face (I can't feel it, babe!)
Caught up in the rhythm, baby, loving this escape (Ooh, it's a, it's a...)
Neon shadows, under the strobe light (Under the light, yeah!)
We don’t need to worry, everything is gonna be alright (Hee-hee!)
(Outro)
Ow!
Neon shadows...
(Fade out with bassline and synth)
Shamone...
(Breathless giggle)
