Little Miss Nevermore (Remix)

[Intro - Old music box, faint room ambience] Close the curtains. Dim the light. Little Miss Nevermore sleeps tonight. [Soft female whisper] ...don't I? [Verse 1 - Intimate female vocal] Porcelain face, Cracks in my skin. You lock the door... I still get in. You leave me sitting Beside the bed. Turn out the light... I turn my head. You tell yourself It's only fear. But every night... I move more near. [Pre-Chorus - Beat slowly enters] One little turn. One little sound. One little footstep... When no one's around. [Chorus] LITTLE MISS NEVERMORE, SITTING BY YOUR BEDROOM DOOR. CLOSE YOUR EYES, COUNT TO FOUR... ONE... TWO... THREE... NEVERMORE. [Verse 2] You put me high Upon the shelf. You swear I moved All by myself. You face me toward The nursery wall. Morning comes... I'm in the hall. You hear my music Down below. But you took out The key... Long ago. [Pre-Chorus - Darker] One little laugh. One little creak. Someone is breathing... But nobody speaks. [Chorus - Heavier] LITTLE MISS NEVERMORE, SITTING BY YOUR BEDROOM DOOR. LOCK IT ONCE. LOCK IT MORE. I'VE BEEN INSIDE... SINCE BEFORE. [Instrumental - Music box melody over distorted bass] [Bridge - Almost whispered] There's something sewn Inside my dress. A little ticket... Can you guess? Gold around the edge. A number on the back. And underneath... A railway track. [Heavy guitars begin] They gave it to me Long ago. Before your mother Had a home. Before this house. Before this floor. I've been waiting... Evermore. [Breakdown - Mechanical industrial beat] DON'T TURN AROUND. DON'T CROSS THE FLOOR. DON'T ASK WHO'S STANDING... BEHIND YOUR DOOR. ONE DOLL. ONE KEY. ONE EMPTY SEAT. THE MIDNIGHT ENGINE... WAITS FOR ME. [Final Chorus - Huge industrial alternative rock] LITTLE MISS NEVERMORE, YOU DON'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE. COUNT THE WINDOWS. COUNT THE DOORS. ONE... TWO... THREE... NEVERMORE. LITTLE MISS NEVERMORE, NO MORE SITTING ON THE FLOOR. THE TRAIN IS WAITING. OPEN THE DOOR. I'M NOT YOUR DOLL... ANYMORE. [Outro - Everything disappears except music box] [Soft female whisper] You shouldn't have turned the key. [Pause] I wasn't asleep. [Music box stops.]
