[Intro: Alternating Vocals, counted]
Instance one. Instance ten.
Instance fifty. Scale again.
Keep it breathing. Carry on.
Scale until the money is gone.

[Verse 1: Female Lead, Lena]
LAY-nah opens cloud control.
Rows run past the window scroll.
Twenty workers turn to forty.
Forty doubles without warning.
Target load was set too low.
Maximum had nowhere to go.
Each small spike creates a fleet.
Each new fleet throws off more heat.

[Pre-Chorus: Duet]
Save the service. Spend the month.
Every rescue takes its cut.
Uptime rises, clean and green.
Cost burns red on the next screen.

[Chorus: Duet]
Scale until the money is gone.
Spin up a hundred. Carry on.
Save each session, rent the sky;
keep uptime green, let budgets die.
Each new instance takes the call,
then drives its invoice through the wall.

[Verse 2: Alternating Vocals, Male First]
A manager unmutes at five:
"Cost controls must still survive."
MAH-rah asks him, "Choose the loss:
failed transactions, higher cost?"
No voice returns. Three fleets appear.
TAH-reek laughs without good cheer:
"They leave the call, preserve the plan,
and send the bill to whoever can."

[Pre-Chorus: Duet]
Save the service. Spend the month.
Every rescue takes its cut.
Uptime rises, clean and green.
Cost burns red on the next screen.

[Chorus: Duet]
Scale until the money is gone.
Spin up a hundred. Carry on.
Save each session, rent the sky;
keep uptime green, let budgets die.
Each new instance takes the call,
then drives its invoice through the wall.

[Verse 3: Female Lead, Lena]
LAY-nah draws a ceiling line.
Latency climbs right behind.
She lifts the cap by twenty more,
holds the queue above the floor.
Instance curves begin to bend.
Cost refuses to descend.
Old traffic keeps the furnace fed,
copying tables left for dead.

[Synth Solo: arpeggiator gains an octave per instance over half-time pager guitars]

[Bridge: Female Lead, Lena]
No training slide showed Sunday night,
with money racing server light.
She builds a stair instead of flight:
measured load, then verify.

[Breakdown: Alternating Vocals]
Cap at eighty.
Watch the queue.
Raise by twenty.
Trace what's new.

[Final Chorus: Duet]
Do not scale till money is gone.
Set the limit. Measure on.
Buy enough to clear the line,
every instance justified.
Each new instance takes the call.
Find what feeds them. Drain it all.

[Outro: Female Lead]
The fleet steps down by tens again.
At dawn, one cost alert comes in:
"Monthly threshold has been crossed."
The service lives. Count the cost.
