[Intro] [female] [whisper] [close mic] They told me when I see the killer... I should scream. [Pause] [female] [playful] Okay! [scream] [Verse 1] [female] [playful] [driving] Blood-red carpet, broken glass Masked man breathing through the mask Everybody says don't go upstairs So obviously I'm already there Phone line's cut, the lights went black Something's scratching at my back You brought a knife and dressed in black [spoken] [amused] Baby, that's a little basic. [Pre-Chorus] [build] [confident] Cue the thunder Cue the rain Cue the psycho in the frame Hit your mark I'm center screen Everybody loves a— [Chorus] [female] [powerful] [double tracked] SCREAM QUEEN! I don't need anybody saving me SCREAM QUEEN! Baby, I'm the main event, wait and see [background vocals] [chant] SCREAM! SCREAM! SCREAM! [female] [powerful] Turn the camera on Let the whole world watch Give me blood, give me thunder Give me everything you've got You came here for a victim [Break] [whisper] Wrong scene. [female] [yell] LONG LIVE THE SCREAM QUEEN! [Verse 2] [female] [playful] [confident] Perfect hair at the worst damn time Running through the woods in heels is fine Trip once just to build suspense Then hit him with the picket fence Everybody knows the rules Don't split up and don't be fools But if the killer wants a chase [spoken] At least give me decent lighting. [Pre-Chorus] [build] Cue the lightning Cue the blade Give the audience what they paid Hit your mark I'm center screen Everybody loves a— [Chorus] [female] [powerful] [harmonized] SCREAM QUEEN! I don't need anybody saving me SCREAM QUEEN! Baby, I'm the main event, wait and see [background vocals] [chant] SCREAM! SCREAM! SCREAM! [female] [powerful] Turn the camera on Let the whole world watch Give me blood, give me thunder Give me everything you've got You came here for a victim [female] [yell] LONG LIVE THE SCREAM QUEEN! [Breakdown] [half-time] [distorted] [spoken] [female] Okay, killer. Let's review. You chased me through the kitchen. [background vocals] BAD IDEA! [female] Locked me in the basement. [background vocals] WORSE IDEA! [female] Left your weapon on the floor. [background vocals] REALLY BAD IDEA! [Pause] [female] [playful] And now you're monologuing? [Silence] [whisper] Oh, honey. [background vocals] [chant] RUN! RUN! RUN! RUN! [female] [scream] YOUR TURN! [Breakdown] Fast crushing guitar breakdown [Bridge] [female] [haunting] [soft] Every girl they wrote as helpless Every voice they made afraid Every scream they used for terror Can become a battle cry someday [build] So turn the lights up Find my mark I know exactly where you've been [female] [powerful] You thought the scream meant I was scared [Pause] [whisper] It means the show begins. [Final Chorus] [female] [powerful] [wide] SCREAM QUEEN! I don't need anybody saving me SCREAM QUEEN! Baby, I'm the main event, wait and see [background vocals] [chant] SCREAM! SCREAM! SCREAM! [female] [powerful] Turn the camera on Let the whole world watch Give me blood, give me thunder Baby, give me your best shot You came here for a victim But the victim left the scene [background vocals] LONG LIVE! LONG LIVE! [female] [scream] LONG LIVE THE SCREAM QUEEN! [Post-Chorus] [background vocals] [chant] HEY! HEY! SCREAM QUEEN! HEY! HEY! SCREAM QUEEN! [Outro] [female] [breathy] [spoken] And... [Pause] Cut. [whisper] Was my scream okay? [far away] [background vocals] Perfect! [female] [playful] I know. [fade out]
