[Intro] (Phased, warbly garage guitar riff with pitch-bends over a heavy, pulsating bassline and dry drum beat. Tape hiss clicks on.) [Verse 1] (Spoken-singing, fast, raspy chest voice—paranoid and slurred) Took a little paper in the kitchen by the sink, Chased it down with tap water, didn't stop to think. Now the wallpaper's breathing and the floorboards move, Looking for a victim, looking for a groove. Sweating through my t-shirt in a crowded room, Standing in the hallway waiting for the doom. Skin and bones, nervous wreck, head against the wall, I got a bad feeling I’m about to lose it all! [Pre-Chorus] (Guitars drop to a heavy, overdriven bass pulse and handclaps; vocal strains upward) I’ve got a bad feeling about this, Yeah, I’ve got a bad feeling about this! I got a premonition that anyone will do tonight... Anyone will do tonight! [Chorus] (Explosive fuzz guitar wall, room-mic drums, half-shouted chest voice with gang chants) Just settle, settle, close your eyes! Anybody’s shadow in a cheap disguise! Yeah, I got a premonition that anyone will do! Until the fog cleared up and I looked at you! (Gang Chant) LOOKED AT YOU! [Verse 2] (Fast, unhinged garage-blues delivery; guitar gets jangly and overdriven) Spotted you standing by the neon light, Dressed like an angel in the middle of the night! Are you a vision, are you a queen? The most religious thing that I have ever seen! I fell to my knees on the linoleum tile, Losing my mind just to see you smile. You're a holy goddess, you’re the morning sun! Or maybe it's the chemicals having their fun! [Pre-Chorus] (Bass pulse and handclaps) I’ve got a bad feeling about this, Yeah, I’ve got a bad feeling about this! I got a premonition that anyone will do tonight... Anyone will do tonight! [Chorus] (Full band garage explosion) Just settle, settle, close your eyes! Anybody’s shadow in a cheap disguise! Yeah, I got a premonition that anyone will do! Until the fog cleared up and I looked at you! (Gang Chant) LOOKED AT YOU! [Bridge] (Psychedelic breakdown: heavy bass, backwards guitar swells, slurred vocal) My worst brings out the best in you... I'm a total disaster, but you look so true. Are you God? Are you real? Are you in my head? Is this love, or am I waking up dead? It doesn't even matter... Yeah, it doesn't even matter! 'Cause I'm high as a kite! [Guitar Solo] (Unhinged, screeching octave-fuzz solo with pitch-shifted bends and feedback) [Chorus] (Maximum intensity; raspy, desperate chest shouting with room gang chants) Just settle, settle, close your eyes! Anybody’s shadow in a cheap disguise! Yeah, I got a premonition that anyone will do! Until the fog cleared up and I looked at you! (Gang Chant) LOOKED AT YOU! [Outro] (Tempo slows down and drags like a bad trip; guitars warble and melt into feedback) I got a bad feeling... Anyone will do... Are you a goddess or a ghost in the room? Doesn't matter anyway... Goodnight. (Ends on a heavy, distorted bass hit and lingering amp hum)
