My Bicycle's On Fire | C. Mora
[Female Voice: Raspy, soulful, full of street-smart swagger. Sings with a playful Rioplatense lilt overlaying Californian English. Switches effortlessly between funky singing, fast-paced rapping, and melodic shouts.] [Intro: A capella Murga Beatbox] [Music: Starts with only a complex, powerful Murga-style beatbox, created with mouth sounds, clicks, and chest thumps.] [Camila Mora - Spoken, conspiratorial whisper] They told me: "Don't burn the bridges". I said: "Honey, I AM the bridge... and I'm looking for a prettier river". Let's go. [Verse 1: Funk Rockabilly] [Music: A dirty, funky bassline drops in. A twangy, distorted Rockabilly guitar plays a nervous riff. The "percussion" is a stapler clicking in rhythm.] [Camila Mora - Sings with a cool, laid-back sneer] Mister Manager with the tie and the grey, grey soul, Told me the bicycle's working, so don't you touch the control. He said: "We don't innovate, 'cause we might just fall" So I looked at my future... a crack in the wall. A nine-to-five Ragnarök waiting to bloom, In this Alexandria Library of a meeting room. [Chorus: Rap Rave Explosion] [Music: The beat drops HARD. A frantic Rave synth melody kicks in. The beatbox is now layered with electronic claps and a booming kick. It's pure, chaotic dance energy.] [Camila Mora - Rapping fast and furiously] SO I LIT THE MATCH! Let the whole library burn! A lesson in corporate physics they never gonna learn! My resume's the ashes, my cover letter's smoke! This ain't a resignation, honey, this is a cosmic joke! I'm dancing on the rubble, I'm painting the sky new! Got my own damn robot coming out, FLCL cool! [Verse 2: Funk Rockabilly] [Music: Drops back to the funky verse groove, but with more energy. The sound of a keyboard being smashed is used as a snare hit.] [Camila Mora - Sings, more playful now] The bicycle's on fire, a beautiful, beautiful mess, Rolling down the hallway of eternal success...-lessness. My spirit is the drill now, a-piercing through the sky, No more little boxes, no more asking "why?". I'm walking out the front door, into the sun and rain, Got a brand new kind of stupid cooking in my brain. [Bridge: Murga Beatbox chant & Quote] [Music: All instruments cut out except for the full Murga Beatbox choir and body percussion. It's a primal, collective chant.] [Camila Mora y El Sindicato del Timbre] [Chanting] ¡FUEGO! ¡ALQUIMIA! ¡NUEVA PIEL! ¡FUEGO! ¡ALQUIMIA! ¡OTRO NIVEL! [Camila Mora - Spoken over the beatbox, with a laugh] "Fionna, it's pretty clear... you need to go and ring some doorbells". Guess I'll go and ring a few. [Outro: Rave-abilly Fade-out] [Music: The full Rave-abilly chaos kicks back in for a final, short burst of energy, then begins to fade.] [Camila Mora - Shouting joyfully] I'm free! I'm broke! I'm gloriously awake! For goodness sake! [The music fades out, leaving only the sound of a frantic, old-fashioned bicycle bell ringing, followed by a final, satisfying crash. Silence.]
