Verse 1 – Panicked / Sarcastic Prom night’s quiet, the house is dark Somebody’s breathing, a shadow sparks Ghostface lurking with a knife in hand Screams echo across the land Phones go off, someone trips Another scream, someone flips We run, we hide, we knock on doors Laughing through terror on all fours Pre-Chorus Every shadow has a grin Every scream hides a sin We’re panicked, sarcastic, all the same It’s horror… but a ridiculous game Chorus – Both Voices, Playful / Sarcastic Ghostface stalking through the halls Screams and laughter bounce off walls We dodge the knife, we duck and scream Trapped in a horror parody dream If the night is long and full of fright We’ll survive… somehow… through laughs and fright Verse 2 – Wry / Fast Milkshakes spilled, the cops show late Someone’s trapped behind the gate Lights flicker, the clock ticks loud Every jump scare draws a crowd Pranks collide with genuine fear Shadows grinning far too near We sprint, we scream, we trip again Laughing at horror as it pretends Pre-Chorus Every shadow has a grin Every scream hides a sin We’re panicked, sarcastic, all the same It’s horror… but a ridiculous game Chorus – Both Voices, Playful / Sarcastic Ghostface stalking through the halls Screams and laughter bounce off walls We dodge the knife, we duck and scream Trapped in a horror parody dream If the night is long and full of fright We’ll survive… somehow… through laughs and fright Bridge – Comic Timing / Wayans Reference Clichés collide, the rules are gone Someone screams, “Wait, what’s going on?” Wayans jokes break the fear Slasher grins and absurdity appear pranks, and classic screams We’re trapped in parody… beyond our dreams Whazzzz UUUUUp!!!!! Chorus / Outro – Over-the-Top / Sarcastic Ghostface stalking through the halls Screams and laughter bounce off walls We dodge the knife, we duck and scream Trapped in a horror parody dream If the night is long and full of fright We’ll survive… somehow… through laughs and fright
