[Intro] [distorted guitar riff, heavy drum hits] Don't open the curtains. They're back. [Chorus] [full band, driving rhythm] Everybody's watching from the windows high (Oh-oh-oh) Hundreds of dead eyes beneath the sky (Sky, sky, sky) When the bass goes boom they come alive Moving like they never really died Hands up, don't break the line Move together side by side Every heartbeat, every sound Brings the dead up from the ground [Verse 1] [palm-muted guitar, steady kick drum] I locked every window, killed every light Something started moving in the middle of the night At first it was one, then a hundred in the street Dragging broken footsteps to the sound of the beat Nobody was screaming, nobody made a sound Every family stayed hidden while they gathered downtown I looked through the blinds, wish I never had Every single body looked completely dead Their clothes were torn apart, dirt covered every face But they kept on dancing with impossible grace Every time the bass, every head looked to the sky Like the moon was pulling every corpse outside [Pre-Chorus] [drums drop out, atmospheric synth pads] [whispered vocals] Don't breathe, stay low, they see you Don't move, hear them singing down below [Chorus] [full band, orchestral strings and brass] Everybody's watching from the windows high (Oh-oh-oh) Hundreds of dead eyes beneath the sky (Sky, sky, sky) When the bass goes boom they come alive Moving like they never really died Hands up, don't break the line Move together side by side Every heartbeat, every sound Brings the dead up from the ground [Bridge] [staccato synth bass, electronic percussion] Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance! [Verse 2] [gritty male vocals, rhythmic guitar stabs] Old man Mann still wore his faded coat Little girl still holding half a broken rope Someone in a wedding suit spun around alone Like they all remembered life but couldn't make it home Every porch was empty, every door was locked Every living heartbeat prayed the music stopped But the louder that the speakers shook the night The more undead bodies joined beneath the light One looked at my window, slowly raised a hand Like he knew exactly where I chose to stand I stepped back in silence, trying not to breathe Then they all kept dancing further down the street [Pre-Chorus] [building tension, rising strings] Oh, hear them closer Step, step, turn, freeze Don't let them see [Chorus] [maximum intensity, layered vocals] Everybody's watching from the windows high (Oh-oh-oh) Hundreds of dead eyes beneath the sky (Sky, sky, sky) When the bass goes boom they come alive Moving like they never really died Hands up, don't break the line Move together side by side Every heartbeat, every sound Brings the dead up from the ground [Outro] [music fades to atmospheric wind and low synth drone] Morning came. The street was empty. But the footprints were still there. Everybody's watching from the windows high Hundreds of dead eyes beneath the sky When the bass goes boom they come alive Moving like they never really died Hands up, don't break the line Move together side by side Every heartbeat, every sound Brings the dead up from the ground
