[INTRO — WATER DRIPPING / DISTANT HOOVES] [drip] [hoofbeat] Wet floor. Cold air. Something breathing over there. [hoofbeat] Don't worry. you won't be missed... [BEAT CREEPS IN — LOW, SEXY, TOE-TAPPING] [VERSE 1] Fog rolls in. Lights go low. Something waits where cold winds blow. You see a shape. You see a face. Something lovely in the haze. Moonlight running down its frame. Still eyes. White teeth. Standing where the mist gets deep. No sound. No breath. You look. It waits. You smile. It stays. [THUMP] One step. [THUMP] Two. [THUMP] Three. Come closer. Come see. [CHORUS] THUMP THUMP THUMP. Hear the hooves. THUMP THUMP THUMP. Feel the room. Mist rolls in. Lights go low. Beautiful creature. Don't you know? THUMP THUMP THUMP. Come on. THUMP THUMP THUMP. Climb on. [DROP] THUMP. THUMP. THUMP. [VERSE 2 — DARKER / MORE RHYTHMIC] Maybe it's a horse with a wet black mane. Maybe it's a stag in the pouring rain. Maybe it's a fairy with a silver chin. The Goblin knows not to touch it The witches arnt enchanted by its grin. One rider. One victim The Kelpie always wins [beat cuts] And then— RUN. [BEAT SLAMS BACK] Through the fog. Through the trees. Through the water up to your knees. Through a doorway. Through a wall. Somewhere underneath it all. You scream. It runs. You kick. It doesn't stop. You pray. It doesn't care. You look down— [beat cut] There are twisted back to front legs there. [DROP] THUMP THUMP THUMP. Down. THUMP THUMP THUMP. Under. THUMP THUMP THUMP. Gone. No way back. No way up. No way— OUT. [VERSE 3 — CREEPY, ALMOST PLAYFUL] Upstairs—music. Downstairs—water. Upstairs—dancing. Downstairs—someone's screaming. Upstairs—champagne. Downstairs—teeth. Upstairs—“Where'd she go?” Downstairs— [wet hoofstep] “Who?” [hoofstep] “Her.” [hoofstep] [BREAKDOWN — TUNNEL / HOOVES] [HOOVES THUNDERING THROUGH THE TUNNEL] Troll 1: “Oh no! That was Melanie.” Troll 2: “She was really nice.” Troll 1: “Yeah.” [pause] Troll 2: “She owed me twenty bucks.” [beat] Troll 1: “Oh.” [HOOVES DISAPPEAR INTO DARKNESS] [one second of silence] THUMP. [CHORUS — MASSIVE DROP] THUMP THUMP THUMP. Hear the hooves. THUMP THUMP THUMP. Feel the room. Mist rolls in. Lights go low. Beautiful creature. Don't you know? THUMP THUMP THUMP. Come on. THUMP THUMP THUMP. Climb on. [BREAKDOWN — WHISPERED] There's something under the floor. Something old. Something hungry. Something that knows your name. [hoofbeat] Just climb on. [BEAT RETURNS] [VERSE 4] Nobody stopped. Nobody saw. Nobody asked what the mist was for. Why does the floor keep getting wet? What is that pounding in my head? Where is the creature who was just dancing next to me? And all though the bass is loud why can i hear screams? [BUILD] Don't stop dancing. Don't look down. Keep your eyes above the ground. Don't ask questions. Don't leave the track. If you hear hooves— DONT LOOK BACK. [FINAL DROP] THUMP. THUMP. THUMP. Mist on the floor. Fog at the door. Hooves underneath. Wanting—MORE. THUMP THUMP THUMP. Dance. Dance. Dance. Don't stop now. [hooves accelerating beneath the bass] Dance to the water. Dance to the sound. Dance while the river runs underground. [FINAL BREAK — ALMOST SILENT] The mist knows your name. The water knows your weight. And the Kelpie knows you're next. [THUMP] [WATER SWALLOWS EVERYTHING]
