Lyrics
Intro
Heavy rhythmic Sistrum clatter and deep bass line
Female Backing Soprano - Ethereal - High-pitched
Ah... ah-ah...
Female Backing Alto - Raspy husky tone - Low-mid
Keep it moving, keep it fast...
Female Backing Contralto - Bluesy - Velvety
Don't let the moment last...
Verse 1
Female Lead Mezzo-Soprano - Rap - Soulful, Syncopated
Yeah, look, I don't need a dinner or a slow-dance rhythm
Just a back-alley spark and a body to be in
Got the clock on the wall and it’s ticking down low
I’m a high-speed chase, I don’t ever do slow
Got your hands on my waist, feel the heat, feel the rush
No time for the talking, no time for the blush
Just a quick-hit fix, yeah, a lightning strike
I’m the heavy metal thunder on a midnight bike
Flip the switch, hit the lights, yeah, we’re burning the fuse
Nothing left to gain and there’s nothing to lose
It’s a thirty-second heaven, it’s a minute of bliss
Seal the whole damn deal with a razor-wire kiss!
Chorus
All - Female Quartet - Harmonized
Oh, give it to me fast, don't make it last
Velocity of love, we’re living in the blast
No strings, no ties, just the heat in your eyes
In the blink of a second, the temperature rises
Flash, friction, let the engine roar
Quick-fire love, then we’re out the door!
Verse 2
Female Lead Mezzo-Soprano - Rap - Extremely Fast, Staccato
Coming in hot like a comet in the dark
I’m looking for the gasoline, I’m looking for the spark
One touch, two touch, triple up the pace
I can see the hunger written all over your face
Forget the foreplay, forget the romance
This is just a carnal, temporary dance
Against the wall, in the hall, I don’t really care where
With the static in the skin and the wild in the hair
I’m a predator, a player, I’m a high-octane queen
The dirtiest high that you’ve ever seen
Wrap it up, shut it down, yeah, I’m done with the show
I got places to be and I’m ready to go!
Bridge
Sistrum solo with rapid-fire Tama drum fills
Female Backing Soprano - Ethereal, shimmering
Gone in a heartbeat...
Female Backing Alto - Haunting, deep
Fading like a shadow...
Female Backing Contralto - Melancholy, resonant
Just a memory of the heat...
Chorus
All - Female Quartet - Harmonized
Oh, give it to me fast, don't make it last
Velocity of love, we’re living in the blast
No strings, no ties, just the heat in your eyes
In the blink of a second, the temperature rises
Flash, friction, let the engine roar
Quick-fire love, then we’re out the door!
Outro
Electronic Synthesizer fade-out with rapid Sistrum
Female Lead Mezzo-Soprano - Rap - Syncopated
Yeah, blink and you miss it.
Fast love. Fast life.
No regrets.
All - Female Quartet - Whispering
Quick-fire...
Quick-fire...
Sudden silence
