The Tango Raw Terrace

Lyrics

[Intro] Kyle checks the frame Red light, record Tonight, the terrace [Verse 1] Kyle leaves the room with a battery at forty One spare cable and a jacket too sporty He tells the camera, “Follow me, no detours” Past the old museum and the closed book stores A marble bust watches from a dusty hall Kyle gives a nod like he knows them all He films the ticket, the stairs, the brass door Then the kick from downstairs shakes the floor [Pre-Chorus] He says, “This is the scene, keep rolling, stay near” A silver cup rises, the crowd disappears No crown, no palace, no velvet parade Just one bright doorway and a plan he made [Chorus] The Tango Raw Terrace The Tango Raw Terrace Kyle on the camera, turning every corner The Tango Raw Terrace The Tango Raw Terrace Say it for the upload, say it till the morning [Verse 2] He interviews a dancer beside the coat rack Asks for a quote, then he doubles right back The floor is a chessboard, the ceiling is gold A painted cherub looks permanently cold Kyle finds a balcony, frames the red sign Counts seven lasers, says, “Perfect, that’s mine” A waiter moves past with a tray like a shield Kyle narrates the battle: “This room never yields” [Pre-Chorus] He says, “This is the scene, keep rolling, stay near” A silver cup rises, the crowd disappears No crown, no palace, no velvet parade Just one bright doorway and a plan he made [Chorus] The Tango Raw Terrace The Tango Raw Terrace Kyle on the camera, turning every corner The Tango Raw Terrace The Tango Raw Terrace Say it for the upload, say it till the morning [Bridge] Kyle, Kyle, check the angle Kyle, Kyle, lose the cable Roman columns, plastic wristband Tiny empire, one-night kingdom He turns the lens toward the dancers Every face becomes an answer No grand finale, no museum pass Just the terrace and the glass [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] The Tango Raw Terrace The Tango Raw Terrace Kyle on the camera, turning every corner The Tango Raw Terrace The Tango Raw Terrace Say it for the upload, say it till the morning The Tango Raw Terrace The Tango Raw Terrace Kyle signs off smiling, but he keeps recording [Outro] Battery at two Still rolling The Tango Raw Terrace
