[Story Arc: Abandoned hotel → Eternal singer → Ghostly dance → Objects moving by themselves → Living observer watches → Singer invites them → Life is drained by the Hotel entity → Death → Revelation → Eternal cycle] [Lyrical Arrangement] [0:00–0:30 — THE ABANDONED HOTEL] [Mostly instrumental] [Observer - Whispered] Is someone there...? [Singer - soft, inviting] Welcome... [The music begins its waltz] [0:30–1:05 — THE INVITATION] [Singer] Come closer darling... Let's see your face... The night's begun... Now take your place... The floor's all yours... It's all for you... You are our guest... [Singer - playful] Boop-a-dee—BOO! [1:05–1:40 — THE GHOSTS BEGIN TO DANCE] [Observer] Air turns cold... Dim candlelight... No other people... No body in sight... [Observer] Chairs start sliding... Curtains a-twist... Nothing is there... What brushed my wrist? [Observer] Hear walking canes... Tap on the floor... Belonging to someone... But not anymore... [Observer] Led by the song... Glasses start clinking... Shouldn't have come here... What was I thinking? [1:40–2:05 — INSTRUMENTAL DANCE] [Singer - amused] Round and round... Holding your date... Take your partner... Swing them with grace... A ONE—two—three... ONE—two—three... ONE—two—three... ONE—two—three... [2:05–2:35 — VERSE II: THE OBSERVER IS NOTICED] [Singer - gently] Oh, there you are... Where have you been? No need to be shy... Let's do this again... [Observer - frightened] Frozen with fear... Waltz keeps a-swinging... Too frightened to flee... Drawn in by her singing... [2:35–3:00 — THE DANCE TAKES HOLD] [Observer] Taking my hand... Instantly shaken... Step onto the floor... The ballroom awakens... [The waltz becomes much stronger] [Observer] Feel dizzy now... Room starts to sway... Something inside me... Is slipping away... [Observer] Heartbeat slows... As spirits appear... Whispering softly... [Singer whispers] “Don't worry, my dear...” [3:00–3:30 — MAIN CHORUS: THE DANCE] [Singer] Round and round... The ballroom spins... Lose yourself... And let us in... Step by step... As night goes on... Dance this waltz... There'll be no dawn. Round and round... The ballroom spins... Lose yourself... And let us in... One, two, three... One, two, three... One, two, three... Dance with us eternally... [3:30–3:55 — THE TRANSFORMATION] [Observer] See now the figures... I've made my transition... The singer smiles... As if by tradition... [Observer] No more reflection... Facing the mirror... I've joined the dance... The end draws nearer... [Observer] Ballroom now packed... The singing resumes... My body lies vacant... Lost in the gloom... [Observer] Time now eternal... A chilling devotion... The building lies sleeping... Waiting for motion... [3:55-4:30 - Final] [Everything collapses back into the singer's original invitation] [Singer softer now] Come closer darling... Let's see your face... The night's begun... Now take your place... [Singer softer now] The floor's all yours... It's all for you... You are our guest... [Singer transitioning to whisper] Boop-a-dee—boo... [Singer whispers slowly] One... two... three......... [4:30-4:40 Outro and end]
