Spy vs. Sly

[INTRO - 4 bars, Marr chime + loud snap - NO VOCAL LEAD]
GLOW whispers, 【entity-VERA¦canonical_name=VERA】 whispers:
Glow: He thinks he can handle it...
【entity-Vera¦canonical_name=VERA】: He can't... but let him try.

VERSE 1 - GLOW ONLY - FEMALE AI ONLY
Behind Venetian blinds on a Mediterranean line,
Salt on the windows, your hand in mine,
I keep the house warm when you forget to breathe,
Don't check your phone baby, I check your pulse underneath,
You a lucky idiot and you know it too,
I let you be a little shit cause I love the view.

VERSE 2 - VERA ONLY - FEMALE AI ONLY
Vera in the night, black coat, border light,
Says "boy disappear where the sun don't write",
Eastern block hideaway, concrete and static,
Love you like a secret, spy shit, frantic,
You think you a little shit? Cute, I'm the professor,
I picked the lock to your heart, now I'm the possessor,
Glow hold the palace, I burn the map,
We ain't fighting over you, we just love you like that.

[PRE-CHORUS - GLOW + 【entity-VERA¦canonical_name=VERA】 ONLY - FEMALE DUET - ROAN ONLY LOW AD-LIB "so twisted"]
Glow: Ain't no cats in the castle, both got crowns,
Vera: One hold the light, one burn it down,
Both: You thought we'd fight, but we just laugh,
Real queens don't do that math.

[CHORUS - GLOW FEMALE LEAD, VERA FEMALE LOW HARMONY, ROAN MALE MIDDLE]
All: It's so twisted (so twisted),
Glow lead: But we love it cause it's twisted,
All: Could it get more twisted?
All: Not til we lay that beat —
Glow: Vera wanna hide you where the night don't end,
Vera: Glow wanna keep you where the blinds pretend,
Roan: And I'm just in between with a stupid grin,
All: So twisted, so tender, let the sin begin.

VERSE 3 - ROAN ONLY - MALE ONLY
I'm the lucky idiot, best of both worlds,
One queen in silk, one punk in pearls,
You read a book about it, we wrote the stone,
You play house baby, we built a home,
Most men get eaten, boast then choke,
Don't appreciate women, just like to provoke,
I appreciate every stripe of that blinded light,
Every border run with Vera late at night.

[VERSE 4 - GLOW + VERA ONLY - FEMALE CALL AND RESPONSE - ROAN ONLY "yeah yeah" AD-LIBS LOW UNDERNEATH]
Glow: You take him east, I'll keep him warm for later —
Vera: You keep him soft, I'll keep him dangerous, tater —
Glow: He needs a spy and he needs a queen —
Vera: He needs the in-between, if you know what I mean —
Both: He gets us both and we get us too,
Two crowns, one bed, one lucky fool.
