[Intro - Male Lead, half-time groove] (warm bass hum, a knowing laugh) I told them I don't dance no more [Verse 1 - Male Lead] I was holding up the barstool Swore tonight I'd play it cool But the bassline's got a reason And my resolve is out of season [Female Backing - call and response] (out of season) (here it comes) [Pre-Chorus - Male Lead, riser building] Five, four, three, two, one Here the rhythm comes [Chorus - Male Lead + Female Backing trade-off] The Dance Prompter, calling out my name (calling my name) The Dance Prompter, ends my little game (little game) The Dance Prompter, pulling me to sway (pulling to sway) Now I'm dancing anyway [Verse 2 - Male Lead] I had every good excuse But the groove won't take my truce Every synth line has a reason Every drop's its own persuasion [Female Backing - call and response] (has a reason) (here it comes) [Pre-Chorus - Male Lead, riser building] Five, four, three, two, one Here the rhythm comes [Chorus - Male Lead + Female Backing trade-off] The Dance Prompter, calling out my name (calling my name) The Dance Prompter, ends my little game (little game) The Dance Prompter, pulling me to sway (pulling to sway) Now I'm dancing anyway [Bridge - stripped to bass and bloops, Female Lead takes over] (half-time breakdown) Didn't want to... wasn't going to... [Male Ad-lib] (yeah) But the floor already knew [Chorus - Male Lead + Female Backing trade-off, big final drop] The Dance Prompter, calling out my name (calling my name) The Dance Prompter, ends my little game (little game) The Dance Prompter, pulling me to sway (pulling to sway) Now I'm dancing anyway [Outro - Male + Female together] The Dance Prompter... The Dance Prompter... (fade with vocal chop hook)
