Love Will Work It Out

A Way Out Tonight

Stained Glass & Gin

[Intro]
[Distant, crackling vinyl sound]
[Heavy, slow drum beat starts - Boom, cha!]
[Dark, bluesy piano chords]

[Verse 1]
[Intimate, breathy vocals]
The morning light is cold and thin
Smells of yesterday and cheap-shelf gin
You left your shadow on my floor
Then walked right out that heavy door
I’m tracing circles in the dust
A heart of gold turned into rust.

[Pre-Chorus]
[Build up with horns]
And the bells they ring, so hollow and deep
The promises that you couldn’t keep.

[Chorus]
[Powerful, soulful belting]
[Full brass section]
I’m painted blue in a stained-glass frame
Whispering a ghost’s sweet name
You’re moving on to a brighter track
While I’m just fading... fading to black.

[Verse 2]
[Bass-driven, jazz lounge feel]
I wore your ring like a lucky charm
Now it’s a scar upon my arm
The record skips on the same old line
I’m out of step and out of time
You’re the hunter, I’m the prey
In this 1960s cabaret.

[Bridge]
[Tempo slows down, haunting vocals]
[Only piano and a lonely trumpet]
Cheers to the lies... 
Cheers to the sin...
I’m drowning slow in stained glass and gin.

[Chorus]
[Maximum energy, orchestral swell]
I’m painted blue in a stained-glass frame
Whispering a ghost’s sweet name
You’re moving on to a brighter track
While I’m just fading... fading to black.

[Outro]
[Raspy humming]
[Slowly fading brass]
Fading... 
Just a shadow...
[Final piano chord]
[End]
