This song is a mesmerizing modal jazz improvisation over a single chord, the Eb2 (Ebadd9 will get close).
Intro: There is no bass. The intro hovers above a single droning Bb tone above middle C.
An F is soon added to the Bb, followed by an Eb, which forms Eb2 in second inversion
(could be interpreted as Bbsus4), the only chord of the song. Once these tones are sounded,
they never stop droning throughout the song.
Verse/Chorus: An Eb is added in the bass, and continues to drone with Eb2 chord until the end.
The open, unresolved nature of the droning Eb2 chord supports the implied chords formed by the
modal riffs and solos: EbMaj9 (includes Bbm, Fsus4, F2)
EbMaj13 (includes Cm)
EbMaj7(includes Gm)
Modes used: F dorian, G phrygian, C aolian, Eb ionian

[Intro]
Eb2(A single Bb tone builds into Eb2)
(Improvised riffs from piano, flute, trumpet, sax, and trumpet over Eb2)
[Verse 1]
Eb2Oh, no
I'm not the one, oh, you can ignore
I'm not like those you had before
Oh, hell no
I'm not a toy just here for fun
I won't be tossed aside and down
I'm not the one, I'm not the one
Eb2Oh, hey you
Come over here, oh
I'm not the one you can refuse
I'm not your plaything, I'm not your muse
Oh, hey you
Get over here, oh
If you should ruin what I've become
You'll be sorry that you thought I was the one
[Chorus]
Eb2I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Take me higher, I'm on fire
[Verse]
Eb2Oh, hey you
Get out of here, oh
I'm not the one to go insane
Said, I'm amazed
Oh, come and tell me that you know you do
Get out of here
Oh, I'm not the one you can dismiss
I'm here forever, I found my bliss, oh
[Chorus]
Eb2I'm on fire, I'm on fire, oh
I'm on fire, I'm on fire, oh
Just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit
Oh, hey you
Get over here, oh
(I'm on fire) just a little bit
(I'm on fire) just a little bit
(I'm on fire) just a little bit
(I'm on fire)
[Chorus]
Eb2Oh, I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Take me higher, take me higher, oh
I'm on fire, I'm on fire
I'm on fire, I'm on fire
