Track 1: Miami ’45

Verse 1

Sunlight on the Florida sand
A secret passed from a stranger’s hand
Nineteen forty‑five, a quiet turn
A name unspoken, a past to burn
Before the bleach, before the fame
Before the city called my name

Pre‑Chorus

Paper trails that fade and bend
Looking for a place to begin again

Chorus

Oh, Miami ’45
Just a heartbeat learning to survive
From the ocean breeze to the city heat
Chasing the echo of a Bowery beat
I’m the daughter of a ghost, a spark in the sign
Miami ’45 — I was never defined

Verse 2

Greyhound dreams on a northern line
Neon nights where the lost align
A borrowed face in a borrowed town
But every shadow can turn around
From quiet rooms to a reckless stage
I found my voice, I found my rage

Pre‑Chorus

Paper trails that fade and bend
Looking for a place to begin again

Chorus

Oh, Miami ’45
Just a heartbeat learning to survive
From the ocean breeze to the city heat
Chasing the echo of a Bowery beat
I’m the daughter of a ghost, a spark in the sign
Miami ’45 — I was never defined

Bridge

(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
I wasn’t lost — I was awakening
A quiet flame that started shaking
From hidden roots to a rising line
I drew my shape, I made it mine

Final Chorus

Oh, Miami ’45
Just a heartbeat coming alive
From the ocean breeze to the city heat
Dancing forever to the Bowery beat
I’m the daughter of a ghost, but the future is mine
Miami ’45 — I redraw the line

Track 2: Willows in the Wind

Verse 1

Before the CBGB neon glow
The river whispered soft and low
Dark hair drifting, bells on my wrist
A folk‑rock shadow in a violet mist
We sang of willow trees and summer rain
Before the city carved its mark again

Pre‑Chorus

Gather ’round the fire, children of the light
Dancing through the forest in the velvet night

Chorus

Willows in the wind, swaying so slow
Searching for a secret only we could know
Willows in the wind, a psychedelic dream
Nothing in the garden is ever what it seems

Verse 2

Silver flutes and tambourines
Living like a painting in the magazines
But the wind is shifting, the colors start to fold
I’m trading in my flowers for a heart of gold
A quiet girl with a restless spark
Stepping from the meadow into something dark

Pre‑Chorus

Gather ’round the fire, children of the light
Dancing through the forest in the velvet night

Chorus

Willows in the wind, swaying so slow
Searching for a secret only we could know
Willows in the wind, a psychedelic dream
Nothing in the garden is ever what it seems

The wind is calling…
The city is calling…

Let it blow! Let it blow!
Let it blow! Let it blow!
Let it blow! Let it blow!

Track 3: Stiletto Nights

Verse 1

Black tights, fishnets, a smoky room
The Bowery humming a downtown doom
Three girls screaming, ready for a fight
In the neon fever of a Stiletto night Then
I saw you leaning by the amplifier
A skinny shadow with a spark of fire

Pre‑Chorus

One look, one chord, a sudden spark
We lit a fuse that cut through the dark

Chorus

Stiletto Nights, sharp as a blade
The wildest gamble that we ever made
Stiletto Nights, under the streetlight glare
With glitter in our eyes and static in our hair
(ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FOUR!)

Verse 2

You played the rhythm, I played the part
A New York collision of noise and art
The Stilettoes dancing on broken glass
Watching the old world crumble and pass
A cheap guitar and a borrowed stage
But every heartbeat fed the rage

Pre‑Chorus

One look, one chord, a sudden spark
We lit a fuse that cut through the dark

Chorus

Stiletto Nights, sharp as a blade
The wildest gamble that we ever made
Stiletto Nights, under the streetlight glare
With glitter in our eyes and static in our hair
(CUT! CUT! CUT!)
– sharp as a blade
The wildest gamble that we ever made
Stiletto Nights, under the streetlight glare
With glitter in our eyes and static in our hair
(ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FOUR!)

Chorus

Stiletto Nights, sharp as a blade
The wildest gamble that we ever made
Stiletto Nights, under the streetlight glare
With glitter in our eyes and static in our hair
(CUT! CUT! CUT!)
– sharp as a blade
The wildest gamble that we ever made
Stiletto Nights, under the streetlight glare
With glitter in our eyes and static in our hair
(ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FOUR!)

Outro

Stiletto Nights…
Sharp as a knife…

Track 4: Angel & the Snake

Verse 1

Before the golden hair was bright
We were crawling through the Bowery night
An angel’s whisper in a denim vest
Putting every heartbeat to the test
The snake was sliding through the bass guitar
A shadow rhythm reaching for a star

Pre‑Chorus

Walking on the pulse of the city street

Chorus

Angel and the Snake, shedding our skin
Waiting for the magic to begin
Angel and the Snake, a dangerous dance
Taking every rhythm, taking every chance
(Uhh… Uhh..)

Verse 2

Chris is tracing patterns on the wall
Listening for a future in a midnight call
The labels say we’re too soft for punk
But we’re getting high on that junkyard funk
A little sugar, a little bite
A new creation in the city night

Pre‑Chorus

It’s a slow burn, it’s a steady beat
Walking on the pulse of the city street

Chorus

Angel and the Snake, shedding our skin
Waiting for the magic to begin
Angel and the Snake, a dangerous dance
Taking every rhythm, taking every chance

Bridge

“Listen to the rattle, listen to the hiss
The world isn’t ready for a sound like this
One part sugar, one part steel
Now you know how the angel feels.”

Outro

Angel… Snake… Angel… Snake…
Angel… Snake… Angel… Snake…

Track 5: CBGB Queen

(HEY! HEY! QUEEN! QUEEN!)

(HEY! HEY! HEY!)
(HEY! HEY! HEY!)
(HEY! HEY! HEY!)
(HEY! HEY! HEY!)

Verse 1

Graffiti bleeding down the wall
Hilly’s barking orders down the hall
The Ramones are counting “One, Two, Three!”
But everybody’s turning just to look at me
In a ripped‑up shirt with a razor gaze
Lost and found in the CBGB haze

Pre‑Chorus

Leather jackets, safety pins
This is where the future spins

Chorus

I’m the CBGB Queen, crown of thorns and chrome
Underneath the sidewalk, I have found a home
CBGB Queen, lighting up the night
In a black‑and‑white world, I’m the only light
(HEY! HEY! QUEEN! QUEEN!)
(HEY! HEY! QUEEN! QUEEN!)

Verse 2

Television’s humming “Marquee Moon”
The bass is out of tune, but we’re coming soon
Patti’s preaching, Joey’s lean and mean
But I’m the one they call the Blonde Machine
A downtown spark with a downtown bite
Ready to set the Bowery alight

Pre‑Chorus

Leather jackets, safety pins
This is where the future spins

Chorus

I’m the CBGB Queen, crown of thorns and chrome
Underneath the sidewalk, I have found a home
CBGB Queen, lighting up the night
In a black‑and‑white world, I’m the only light
(HEY! HEY! QUEEN! QUEEN!)
(HEY! HEY! QUEEN! QUEEN!)

Bridge

“Who’s the girl on the posters?”
(“DEBBIE! ohh!”)
“Who’s the one they’re ghostin’?”
(“DEBBIE! ohh!”)
“Check the mic, check the stage—”
“BREAKING OUT OF THE CAGE!”

Chorus

I’m the CBGB Queen
I’m the CBGB Queen

I’m the CBGB Queen, crown of thorns and chrome
Underneath the sidewalk, I have found a home
CBGB Queen, lighting up the night
In a black‑and‑white world, I’m the only light
(HEY! HEY! QUEEN! QUEEN!)
(HEY! HEY! QUEEN! QUEEN!)

Outro

CBGB Queen…
One more time!
CBGB Queen…
One more time!

Track 6: Parallel Lines

Verse 1

One step forward, two steps back
Balancing on a silver track
The camera lens is a hungry eye
Catching every truth and every lie
We’re the patterns in the grid
Every secret that we hid
Frozen in a perfect frame
Just a face without a name

Pre‑Chorus

Don’t look down, don’t look away
We’re the stars of the matinee

Chorus

Parallel lines, never meant to meet
In the neon shadows of a city street
Parallel lines, running side by side
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
(Side by side… Side by side… in the light…)

Verse 2

The radio is screaming loud
Lost inside the plastic crowd
They want the girl with the golden hair
But they don’t know the girl is never there
A silhouette behind the glass
Watching every moment pass
Fame is just a borrowed shine
A heartbeat on a dotted line

Pre‑Chorus

Don’t look down, don’t look away
We’re the stars of the matinee

Chorus

Parallel lines, never meant to meet
In the neon shadows of a city street
Parallel lines, running side by side
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
(Side by side… Side by side… in the light…)

Bridge

“IS SHE REAL?”
“I’m a dream in a machine.”
“IS SHE REAL?”
“I’m the ghost in the screen.”

Chorus

Parallel lines, never meant to meet
In the neon shadows of a city street
Parallel lines, running side by side
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
(Side by side… Side by side… in the light…)

Outro

(Parallel lines… tracing the edge… in the light…)

Track 7: Atomic Blonde

Verse 1

In the flash of a million lens
Where the fake begins and the real world ends
I’m a flicker in the circuit board
A digital queen with a silver sword
Hair as white as a desert star
I can see the future, and it’s not far

Pre‑Chorus

Power up, the countdown’s on
Before the light of the world is gone

Chorus

Atomic Blonde, a fusion in the dark
Leaving nothing but a burning spark
Atomic Blonde, radiating gold
A story that never gets old
(Ultra‑bright! Out of sight!)
(Bright! Ultra‑bright! Out of sight!)

Verse 2

They put my face on every wall
Waiting for the idol to trip and fall
But I’m made of static, I’m made of wire
Walking through the center of the atomic fire
A neon ghost in a mirrored room
Dancing on the edge of a sonic boom

Pre‑Chorus

Power up, the countdown’s on
Before the light of the world is gone

Chorus

Atomic Blonde, a fusion in the dark
Leaving nothing but a burning spark
Atomic Blonde, radiating gold
A story that never gets old

Bridge

Tonight… the sky is changing color.
(Tonight…) I’m becoming the thunder.
REACTION!
REACTION!
REACTION!

Outro

“REACTION!”
“Tonight… Out of sight!”
“REACTION!”
“Tonight… Out of sight!”
“REACTION!”

Track 8: Fade to Fame

Verse 1

I look in the mirror, but the glass is thin
I don’t recognize the state I’m in
The blonde is a mask, the red is a stain
A portrait of pleasure, a vessel of pain
They’re screaming my name in the hall outside
But there’s nowhere left for the girl to hide

Pre‑Chorus

Flashbulbs popping like a firing squad
Trading my soul for a celluloid god

Chorus

Fade to fame, watch me disappear
In the golden glow of a thousand years
Fade to fame, a ghost on the screen
The loneliest girl that you’ve ever seen
(Fade away… just a play…)
(Fade away… just a play…)

Verse 2

The posters are peeling, the ink is dry
Nobody’s asking the reason why
I’m a product, a package, a brand‑new toy
A platinum dream for a broken boy
A hollow crown on a borrowed throne
Surrounded by crowds, but I’m still alone

Pre‑Chorus

Flashbulbs popping like a firing squad
Trading my soul for a celluloid god

Chorus

Fade to fame, watch me disappear
In the golden glow of a thousand years
Fade to fame, a ghost on the screen
The loneliest girl that you’ve ever seen
(Hey… Just a play… Hey…)

Bridge

“WHO ARE YOU?”
“I’m the echoes in the street!”
“WHO ARE YOU?”
“I’m the rhythm, not the beat!”
“WHO ARE YOU?”
“I’m the echoes in the street!”
“WHO ARE YOU?”
“I’m the rhythm, not the beat!”

Chorus

(Just a play…)

Fade to fame, watch me disappear
In the golden glow of a thousand years
Fade to fame, a ghost on the screen
The loneliest girl that you’ve ever seen

Outro

(Fade to fame… just a play…)
(Fade to fame… just a play…)
(Fade to fame… just a play…)
(Fade to fame… just a play…)

Track 9: Stein & Harry

Verse 1

The stage is empty, the lights are low
We’ve got nowhere left to go
The platinum’s fading, the crowd is gone
But you’re the one I’m leaning on
I’ll wash the fever from your skin
And let a quiet healing begin

Pre‑Chorus

In a room of shadows, in a house of glass
We’re waiting for the storm to pass

Chorus

Stein and Harry, two of a kind
Leaving all the chaos far behind
Stein and Harry, through the fire and rain
Turning all the beauty into pain
(Always you… always me…)

Verse 2

You were the rhythm, I was the song
We’ve been dancing for so long
They tried to break us, they tried to sell
The heaven we built in a private hell
But every fracture, every scar
Still leads us back to who we are

Pre‑Chorus

In a room of shadows, in a house of glass
We’re waiting for the storm to pass

Chorus

Stein and Harry, two of a kind
Leaving all the chaos far behind
Stein and Harry, through the fire and rain
Turning all the beauty into pain
(Always you… always me…)

Bridge

“I’ll be your eyes when the world goes dark.”
“STAY STEADY.”
“I’ll be your breath, I’ll be your spark.”
“STAY READY.”

Pre‑Chorus

In a room of shadows, in a house of glass
We’re waiting for the storm to pass

Chorus

Stein and Harry, two of a kind
Leaving all the chaos far behind
Stein and Harry, through the fire and rain
Turning all the beauty into pain
(Always you…)

Chorus

Stein and Harry, two of a kind
Leaving all the chaos far behind
Stein and Harry, through the fire and rain
Turning all the beauty into pain
(Always you… )

Outro

Just you and me…
in the city of dreams…
Stein and Harry…
(Stein and Harry…)

Chorus

Still Debbie, after all these years
Through the laughter and the tears
Still Debbie, a diamond in the rough
Turns out the magic was enough
(Still the one! Still the sun!)

Verse 1

The years are lines upon a page
But I’m still standing on the stage
The hair is silver, the heart is steel
You can’t imagine how good I feel
I’ve watched the empires rise and fall
And I’m the one who outlived them all

Pre‑Chorus

I’m not a ghost, I’m not a memory
I’m the architect of my own destiny

Still Debbie, after all these years
Through the laughter and the tears
Still Debbie, a diamond in the rough
Turns out the magic was enough
(Still the one!)

Verse 2

From the Bowery dirt to the Hall of Fame
The world keeps changing, but I’m the same
A little bit of punk, a whole lot of grace
Still the wildest girl in the human race
I’ve walked through fire, I’ve walked through fame
But I never let them steal my name

Pre‑Chorus

I’m not a ghost, I’m not a memory
I’m the architect of my own destiny

Chorus

Still Debbie, after all these years
Through the laughter and the tears
Still Debbie, a diamond in the rough
Turns out the magic was enough

I’m still here!

I’m still here!

Still Debbie, after all these years
Through the laughter and the tears
Still Debbie, a diamond in the rough

Turns out the magic was enough

(Still the one!)

(I’m still here!)
(I’m still here!)
(ICON! LEGEND! NOW! FOREVER!)

Chorus

Still Debbie, after all these years
Through the laughter and the tears
Still Debbie, a diamond in the rough
Turns out the magic was enough

(Still the one! Still the sun!)
