Halloween Head Hunter

V6

[Intro – music box melody, glitchy, childlike voices] (sing-song) One little, two little, three little guests… Tizm script it, ZERO finish it… Dirty Dubble… 509… Washington State… tizm on the track… zero got the strap… (whisper) Everybody sit still for the tea… [Verse 1 – bouncy, sinister nursery flow] Halloween night, the table’s set with dented plates, Tiny chairs, tiny cups, and a line of empty dates. Head hunter knocking, knocking on the preschool door, Brought a few more shadows that don’t breathe no more. “Come on in, the tea is warm, the cookies sweet,” But the cookies taste like metal and they stick to your teeth. ZERO in the corner with the lamp turned low, Washington State, on gang, let the bad mood grow. Preschool rules: sit up straight, keep your hands in sight, Nobody leaves that table till the morning loses light. tizm on the track, bass like a wound that won’t close, Tea party in the dark where the whole room froze. [Hook – kids singing, then distorted] Sip your tea, sip your tea, Stay where you sit, stay where you see… Heads at the table, heads at the table, Nobody leaves, nobody leaves… (drop glitch) Halloween head hunter, come and stay, ZERO got the strap, and the room went gray! [Verse 2 – darker bounce] Party hats on the quiet ones, paper torn and damp, Head hunter smiling like a busted streetlamp. “Pass the sugar, pass the cream, pass the silence down,” Every chair is filled and every mouth makes no sound. Dirty Dubble double-time while the music box skips, Little hands on the tabletop with their fingers split. Kids in the corner counting one, two, three, “How many more for the party?” — “Too many to see.” Washington State, valley to the Seattle alleys, Halloween night, the hunter don’t need no rallies. tizm on the track, zero got the strap, Tea party’s over when the last spoon taps. [Bridge – whispered, creepy] (whispered sing-song) Round and round the table, Knees hit the floor… Round and round the table, Nobody asks for more… ZERO said “lights out,” Hunter said “lock the door…” [Final Hook + Outro] Sip your tea, sip your tea… Stay forever, stay forever… Halloween head hunter, Preschool tea party massacre… tizm on the track… zero got the strap… Dirty Dubble… (music box slows, then cuts) Everybody’s still sitting… Goodnight.
