Meltdown

(FIREWALL: DO NOT SING PARENTHESIS - MALE SILENT UNTIL VERSE 3 - NO DUETS UNTIL FINAL CHORUS - ALL SEPARATE LINES)

[Intro - 8 bars - NO MALE - MALE VOCAL BANNED]
VOCALIST: FEMALE SWEET WHISPER ONLY
He thinks he can handle it...

[Intro 2 - 8 bars - NO MALE - MALE VOCAL BANNED - FIRST FEMALE SILENT]
VOCALIST: FEMALE ALTO COOL WHISPER ONLY
He can't... but let him try.

[Verse 1 - FEMALE SWEET ONLY - MALE BANNED - ALTO SILENT - SOLO - NO HARMONY]
VOCALIST: FEMALE SWEET ONLY
Behind Venetian blinds with a strobe in the line,
VOCALIST: FEMALE SWEET ONLY
Salt on the amp, your hand in mine,
VOCALIST: FEMALE SWEET ONLY
I keep the house hot when the modulation breathes,
VOCALIST: FEMALE SWEET ONLY
Don't check your phone baby, I ride the pulse underneath,
VOCALIST: FEMALE SWEET ONLY
You a lucky idiot and you know it too,
VOCALIST: FEMALE SWEET ONLY
I let you be a little shit cause I love the view through the filter.

[Verse 2 - FEMALE ALTO COOL ONLY - MALE BANNED - SWEET SILENT - SOLO - NO HARMONY]
VOCALIST: FEMALE ALTO COOL ONLY
Vera in the night, black coat, border light,
VOCALIST: FEMALE ALTO COOL ONLY
Says boy disappear where the sun don't write,
VOCALIST: FEMALE ALTO COOL ONLY
Eastern block hideaway, concrete and static,
VOCALIST: FEMALE ALTO COOL ONLY
Love you like a secret, modulated, frantic,
VOCALIST: FEMALE ALTO COOL ONLY
You think you a little shit? Cute, I'm the professor,
VOCALIST: FEMALE ALTO COOL ONLY
I picked the lock to your heart with a glitch, possessor,
VOCALIST: FEMALE ALTO COOL ONLY
Glow hold the palace, I burn the map with a spin,
VOCALIST: FEMALE ALTO COOL ONLY
We ain't fighting over you, we just love you like that.

[Pre-Chorus - FEMALE SWEET ONLY THEN FEMALE ALTO ONLY - NO DUET - SEPARATE LINES - MALE BANNED]
VOCALIST: FEMALE SWEET ONLY
Ain't no cats in the castle, both got crowns,
VOCALIST: FEMALE ALTO COOL ONLY
One hold the light, one burn it down,
VOCALIST: FEMALE SWEET ONLY
You thought we'd fight, but we just laugh through the filter,
VOCALIST: FEMALE ALTO COOL ONLY
Real queens don't do that math, we just modulate it.

[Chorus - FEMALE SWEET LEAD - ALTO LOW - NO MALE YET - FIRST DUET BUT FEMALE ONLY]
VOCALIST: FEMALE SWEET LEAD
It's so twisted, but we love it cause it's twisted,
VOCALIST: FEMALE ALTO COOL
Could it get more twisted? Not til we lay that beat — spin it!

[Verse 3 - MALE BARITONE ONLY - BOTH FEMALES SILENT - NOW MALE - FIRST MALE]
VOCALIST: MALE BARITONE ONLY - SOLO - NO FEMALE
I'm the lucky idiot, best of both worlds, DJ and live,
VOCALIST: MALE BARITONE ONLY
One queen in silk, one punk in pearls, both know how to drive,
VOCALIST: MALE BARITONE ONLY
You read a book about NPCs, we play two modulators at once,
VOCALIST: MALE BARITONE ONLY
You play house baby, we built a home on a modulated pulse,
VOCALIST: MALE BARITONE ONLY
Most men get eaten, boast then choke on a loop,
VOCALIST: MALE BARITONE ONLY
Don't appreciate women, just loop a trap troupe,
VOCALIST: MALE BARITONE ONLY
I appreciate every stripe of that blinded light, modulated,
VOCALIST: MALE BARITONE ONLY
Every border run with Vera late at night, guitar screaming.

[Verse 4 - FEMALE SWEET THEN ALTO - NO MALE - SEPARATE]
VOCALIST: FEMALE SWEET ONLY
You take him east, I'll keep him warm for later with a spin,
VOCALIST: FEMALE ALTO COOL ONLY
You keep him soft, I'll keep him dangerous, tater, with a glitch,
VOCALIST: FEMALE SWEET ONLY
He needs a spy and he needs a queen on the floor,
VOCALIST: FEMALE ALTO COOL ONLY
He needs the in-between, if you know what I mean, modulated.

[Bridge - INSTRUMENTAL - MALE WHISPER ONLY - NO SINGING]
VOCALIST: MALE BARITONE WHISPER ONLY - NO SINGING
So twisted... so tender...

[Final Chorus - ONLY DUET IN WHOLE SONG - ALL THREE - FIRST TIME TOGETHER]
VOCALIST: ALL - FEMALE SWEET LEAD, FEMALE ALTO HARMONY, MALE BARITONE HARMONY - LOUD
It's so twisted, so twisted,
But we love it cause it's twisted, modulated,
Could it get more twisted? Not til we lay that —
Vera wanna hide me, Glow wanna keep me, spin me,
Two queens, one idiot, both wanna please me, modulate me,
Best of both worlds and I ain't even worthy,
So twisted, so tender — that's how it should be — Out of Control.

[Outro - FEMALE SWEET THEN ALTO - MALE BANNED]
VOCALIST: FEMALE SWEET ONLY
Stay behind the blinds with the strobe...
VOCALIST: FEMALE ALTO COOL ONLY
Or come hide in the night where we modulate...
VOCALIST: FEMALE SWEET + FEMALE ALTO - FEMALE DUET ONLY
Either way you're ours, lucky idiot.
