[Intro: Iconic 2-bar delay-drenched electric guitar riff locking into crisp syncopated offbeat reggae guitar chops and a deep, coiled dub-house bassline at 124 BPM]

[Male Vocal: Smooth, clean, commanding warm baritone]

Yeah, feel it in the air tonight

Calm before the lightning strike

(Wait for it, wait for it)

[Verse 1: Male Vocal, cool rhythmic swagger over tight syncopated offbeat reggae guitar chops, dry rimshots, and deep pulsing dub-bass]

Quiet in the canyon, static on the wire

Everybody's acting like nothing's on fire

Smiling for the camera, keeping in line

Telling each other that the weather is fine

You can lock the shutters, you can bolt the door

Can't stop the pressure coming up through the floor

When you hold the truth down way too long

Something's gotta break before the night is gone

[Pre-Chorus: Female & Male Duet, rising rock guitar tension and driving festival snare roll]

[Female Vocal: Fierce, soulful R&B-rock power]

See the horizon turning electric blue!

[Male Vocal: Smooth, commanding baritone]

There's nothing left that they can do!

[Both: Tight, explosive chant]

One flash—light up the town

Count the seconds till it comes down!

[Chorus: Massive 124 BPM Stadium Rock & Festival House Eruption, wide-open overdriven rock guitar chords, four-on-the-floor kick, and syncopated offbeat drive]

Wait for the thunder!

(Oh-oh-oh, feel it shake the ground!)

Wait for the thunder!

Can't nobody hold this hurricane down

Count the seconds between the flash and the sound

Wait for the thunder to shake the ground!

(Oh-oh-oh, wait for the thunder!)

Let the sky open wide

Nowhere left to run and hide

Wait for the thunder!

[Post-Chorus Drop: Signature 2-bar delay-drenched rock guitar riff duels with crisp syncopated offbeat reggae guitar chops over heavy 124 BPM festival bass]

(Oh-oh-oh, wait for the thunder!)

[Female Vocal: Soulful powerhouse ad-lib]

Feel it coming down!

(Oh-oh-oh, shake the ground!)

[Verse 2: Female Vocal, magnetic R&B attitude over coiled offbeat reggae guitar pocket and deep rolling dub-bass]

Told us to be patient, told us to behave

Keep our voices quiet like we're digging a grave

Funny how a whisper turns into a roar

When you're tired of knocking on a locked-up door

[Male Vocal: Smooth, clean, warm baritone counter-groove]

Every single raindrop knows where to fall

Washing the writing right off of the wall

[Both: Tight rhythmic cadence]

Look up now, the clouds are split

Somebody's about to answer for it!

[Pre-Chorus: Rising overdriven rock guitars and pounding festival drums]

[Female Vocal]

See the horizon turning electric blue!

[Male Vocal]

There's nothing left that they can do!

[Both]

One flash—light up the town

Count the seconds till it comes down!

[Chorus: Massive 124 BPM Stadium Rock & Festival House Eruption, maximum mainstage power]

Wait for the thunder!

(Oh-oh-oh, feel it shake the ground!)

Wait for the thunder!

Can't nobody hold this hurricane down

Count the seconds between the flash and the sound

Wait for the thunder to shake the ground!

(Oh-oh-oh, wait for the thunder!)

Let the sky open wide

Nowhere left to run and hide

Wait for the thunder!

[Bridge / Middle Section: Sudden drop into a deep, hypnotic half-time Dub-Reggae pocket with warm offbeat guitar echoes and R&B call-and-response]

[Male Vocal: Smooth, intimate baritone]

One... two... static in the air

[Female Vocal: Soulful, soaring]

Three... four... lightning everywhere!

[Festival Guitar Solo Build: Tempo locks back into a blazing 124 BPM four-on-the-floor drive as a soaring stadium rock electric guitar solo trades bars with syncopated offbeat guitar stabs]

One flash—light up the town!

Here it comes down!

[Final Chorus: Ultimate Stadium Rock-Reggae-House Climax, soaring female R&B ad-libs, commanding male baritone, and full festival wall of sound]

Wait for the thunder!

(Oh-oh-oh, feel it shake the ground!)

Wait for the thunder!

Can't nobody hold this hurricane down

Count the seconds between the flash and the sound

Wait for the thunder to shake the ground!

(Oh-oh-oh, wait for the thunder!)

Let the sky open wide

Nowhere left to run and hide

Wait for the thunder!

[Outro: Signature 2-bar delay-drenched guitar riff and crisp offbeat reggae guitar chop riding out]

(Oh-oh-oh, wait for the thunder)

Between the flash and the sound

(Wait for the thunder)

Feel it shake the ground!

[Explosive final rock guitar chord and drum hit]
