[INTRO — whispered / distant] Wrong way. No, no— this way. [VERSE 1] Hooves on the concrete, laugh in the hall, you came for the music, I came for it all. Left at the mirror, right at the flame, You asked for the bathroom— I gave you a game. Follow me, darling, don't question the signs, Every wrong turn was already mine. [PRE-CHORUS] You think you're choosing where you wanna go— Funny little creatures, you really don't know. [CHORUS] Follow, follow— wrong way, wrong way. I know a little shortcut through the long way. Follow, follow— don't look behind. If you lose your way tonight, you'll find what I designed. Wrong way. Wrong way. Welcome to mine. [VERSE 2] One lost in the garden, one stuck in the stairs, three swearing they've walked past the same bloody chair. A gargoyle's been asking for directions all night— I sent him to the left. He went to the right. Just let me play. By sunrise half the party won't know where they stayed. Minotaur's checking the names at the gate, Never asks me where I've sent your mate. The witches are laughing— they know what I do. The Shadow just watches. It knows it was you. [PRE-CHORUS] You think you're choosing where you wanna go— Funny little creatures, you really don't know. [CHORUS] Follow, follow— wrong way, wrong way. I know a little shortcut through the long way. Follow, follow— don't look behind. If you lose your way tonight, you'll find what I designed. Wrong way. Wrong way. Welcome to mine. [POST-CHORUS — rhythmic chant] Left. Right. Turn. Wait. Left. Right. Too late. [BRIDGE — stripped back] Once, a fairy followed me where no mortal path should bend. Through a door beneath the moonlight, past the place where roads all end. One step out of her own kingdom, one step farther than she knew. When she turned around to find me... I was gone. [beat] Funny thing about shortcuts— sometimes they don't lead back for you. [LAUGH] [BREAKDOWN] Don't blame the doors. Don't blame the halls. Don't blame the moon or the writing on the walls. I didn't lose you. I just... redirected you. [FINAL CHORUS — full rave] Follow, follow— wrong way, wrong way. Dance until you can't remember why you came. Follow, follow— don't look behind. Every road inside this house was designed to change your mind. Wrong way. Wrong way. One more turn. Wrong way. Wrong way. Watch the whole place burn— [LAUGHTER] [OUTRO — distant hoofbeats] Bathroom's that way. ...
