[INTRO] [MALE] This is the story of Billy Joe and Bobby Sue. Once in a lifetime and it was the same as it ever was. Singing come on Eileen…. you mean everything cus I’m falling even more in love with you and you look like Buddy Holly in the summer time blues, not blue if I was green I would die but we’re dancing when the stars go blue. [FEMALE begins softly underneath] In this beautiful mess I’ve made, so won’t you fall into me? Cus it’s a quarter after 1. [MALE, rhythmic] To the 2 to the 3 and to the 4. [BEAT OPENS GENTLY] For the very first time it’s more than feeling. [MALE drops out] STRANGERS WAITING! [FEMALE enters immediately] I walk alone, I walk alone. [SOFT PULSE CONTINUES] [MALE] Can I have your attention please? Would the real….. [FILTERED DROP: vocals exposed] [FEMALE] world just stop hassling me? [DUET: playful trading] Cus trouble, trouble, trouble trouble. Trouble….. [MALE] I won’t back down. [FEMALE] So guess who’s back back again? [MALE] Sending out an SOS? [BOTH] It’s the trumpets and they go. Message in a bottle! [FEMALE RUN] They goooooo— [MALE starts underneath] they gooooo [BEAT BLOOMS] and I crash my car into the bridge……. I don’t care singing boooom clap.

[DUET LIFT: layered vocals + beat opens] But I miss the lands of Africa at the Y M C A but next day’s function is a high class luncheon so drive 2 miles an hour so everybody sees you. Jump jump jump jump. It’s tricky! Like Stacy’s mom, she’s got it going on and we’re going down down down down [FILTERED BREAK: piano + soft beat] [FEMALE — intimate] I think I’ve seen this film before cus we found Wonderland in my wildest dreams. My wildest dreams. And I didn’t like the ending and I’m not your problem anymore. [MALE fades in underneath] So welcome to New York. It’s been waiting for you you and now we got bad blood. [BOTH BUILD] Cus it’s me, hi, I’m the problem it’s me. So shake it off, shake it off. [MALE LEAD] No way it was the last night we break up. If I’m the problem, you might be the reason. So pour me another drink cus I’m chasing you. I’m chasing you. [FEMALE echoes] Are you thinkin bout me? [MALE] Are you thinkin bout me? [CHORUS: BOTH, warm euphoric lift] We are never ever ever getting….. [MALE drops away] [CROWD / DISTANT VOCAL] BACK TO YOU! [FEMALE immediately] It always comes around, back to you. and we got the afternoon. we got a room for 2. Cus she’s always buzzing like neon. Neon.

[FEMALE LEAD: beat stays light] You make me feel like I’m living a teenage dream cus you’re hot and you’re cold and I got the heart of a lion and baby your a firework. California girls were unforgettable. You want to play with magic? [FEMALE RUN] Cover me with daises daises daiiiiiises— [MALE starts next line under run] A thousand other boys could never reach you and I’d give up forever to touch you. So why don’t you slide into my room but somehow here is gone and Broadway’s dark tonight but I won’t tell em your name. [SOFT PIANO DRIVES] [FEMALE] It’s stranger— [MALE] it’s stranger— [BOTH] than your sympathy. [CHORUS: BOTH, wider vocal layers] We are never ever ever getting drunk on plane. Cus I was thinking bout a little white tank top but I’m still a burning man. [FEMALE] I’m a little bit steady. [MALE] And you make my world go black. [FEMALE] Hit me like a heart attack. [BOTH] So say you do and I’ll hold on. [EMOTIONAL BREAK: piano + soft percussion] [FEMALE] We are never ever ever gonna leave the light on. Leave the light on. Cus I walked off you and I thought it was a dream. And I’m so sick of dreaming and you were going in for the kill. [MALE begins underneath] Now I’m back in my body— [FEMALE continues] and you were one of the rotten ones but I liked you for that. I know she knows I’m not fond of asking and I don’t want your body.
