Sunset Scandal Groove

Lyrics

"SCANDALE SCANDALE" Tropical House – 100 BPM [Intro – 8 bars, filtered pluck arp + vocal chop "ooh-ah-ah"] [Verse 1] They said the game was fair and square But the whistle's blowing someone else's prayer Every call goes the same old way Funny how the money finds a way to stay Screen replay, slow motion lie Same old script, we know the alibi They watch the tape 'til they get the score Written before the players walk through the door [Pre-Chorus] Somebody's calling from a golden phone Somewhere in a room we'll never know "Make it disappear" — that's how it goes Everybody knows, everybody knows [Chorus] Scandale, scandale, scandale, oh-oh Everybody clapping but nobody's told The king of the game gotta pack up and go Scandale, scandale, scandale, oh-oh Whistle in his pocket, camera on hold The king of the game gotta pack up and go [Verse 2] VAR was supposed to make it right Now it's just a puppet in the night Pulls the strings behind the screen Cleanest dirty thing you've ever seen Suits and handshakes, closed-door deals Nobody talks about how it really feels When the trophy's bought before it's won Curtain falls before the show's begun [Pre-Chorus] Somebody's calling from a golden phone Somewhere in a room we'll never know "Make it disappear" — that's how it goes Everybody knows, everybody knows [Chorus] Scandale, scandale, scandale, oh-oh Everybody clapping but nobody's told The king of the game gotta pack up and go Scandale, scandale, scandale, oh-oh Whistle in his pocket, camera on hold The king of the game gotta pack up and go [Breakdown – half-time, filtered, only pad + vocal] (spoken/whispered) "Scandale... scandale..." Everybody knows, everybody knows [Drop/Instrumental hook – marimba melody over deep house bass, steel-drum stab] [Final Chorus – doubled vocals, big room] Scandale, scandale, scandale, oh-oh He gotta go, he gotta go, he gotta go Scandale, scandale, scandale, oh-oh The king of the game gotta pack up and go [Outro – 8 bars, vocal chop fades, marimba solo]
