[Intro]
[whispered vocals]
Meet me at the back door
Red dress
Black tie
Code word on your tongue
We improvise
[Verse 1]
She slides through the velvet rope
Fake name on a plastic badge
He laughs like he owns the place
Eyes on the diamond in the glass
Cards in his cufflink case
Lipstick prints on her champagne
Two steps to the service stairs
We dance our way through the frame
[Chorus]
Undercover in the spotlight
We spin
We slip
We steal the night
Heartbeats ticking like a countdown
But we make it look like fun somehow
Hand in hand through the danger
Every move a perfect lie
Undercover in the spotlight
Taking what we came to find
[Verse 2]
[low vocal register]
Bass voice in the elevator hum
Tenor hums a lazy tune
Alto on the camera feed
Soprano floating near the moon
She kills the lights with a wink
He cracks the code with a grin
Gloves in a hidden pocket
We’re breathing trouble in
[Bridge]
[call and response]
She: Are you scared of falling?
He: Only scared of wasting time
She: If they catch us
What then?
He: Then we take one last spin
One last shine
[crescendo]
Four voices on a single line
Soft as smoke
Sharp as glass
Every step a secret sign
As we make our quiet crash
[Chorus]
Undercover in the spotlight
We spin
We slip
We steal the night
Heartbeats ticking like a countdown
But we make it look like fun somehow
Hand in hand through the danger
Every move a perfect lie
Undercover in the spotlight
Taking what we came to find
[Chorus]
