The Last Laugh

​[Intro | eerie synths | record scratch | Effect: Distortion] [Mocking laughter] [Spoken word] Hello, Gotham! I'm the ghost of the carnival. Did you miss my smile? (ha ha ha ha) ​[Verse 1 | 808 sub bass | fast gallop] [Spoken word crying] I didn't want to hurt her... I just couldn't stand the nagging! [Mocking laughter] [Rap] Staple the face back, stretch it to the ears! Feeding on the terror, drinking up the tears! [adlib boom] Russian roulette with the Maniax crew Point the barrel at the brain, whatcha gonna do?! (click click boom) ​[Pre-Chorus | build-up | rising tension | Effect: Lofi-] [Whispers................] Tick tock, Gotham... The gas is in the vents... ​[Chorus | explosive drop | sidechained synth bass] [Frantic] [Screaming] BUUUURN IT DOWWWN! WAAAAKE UP IN THE MADNESS! [Raspy lead vocal] I'm the prophet of the punchline, slicing through the sadness! Welcome to the broadcast, paint the city red! We're not stopping till the bat and the badge are both dead! (dead dead dead) ​[Verse 2 | sparse instrumentation | trap beat] [Angry tone] [Rap] Theo Galavan tried to put me in a box Now I'm haunting the asylum, breaking all the locks! [adlib whoa] Got a cult of smiling faces painting blood on the walls Hear the cackle in the dark when the dead man calls! (ha ha ha) ​[Bridge | half-time breakdown | minimal instrumentation] [Silence] [Spoken word] You know what they say about sanity... it's just a temporary state of mind. [Growl] RAAAAH NOTHING IS MORE CONTAGIOUS THAN LAUGHTER! ​[Final Chorus | Energy: High | explosive] [Screaming] BUUUURN IT DOWWWN! WAAAAKE UP IN THE MADNESS! [Raspy lead vocal] I'm the prophet of the punchline, slicing through the sadness! Welcome to the broadcast, paint the city red! We're not stopping till the bat and the badge are both dead! ​[Outro: Big finish | heavy distortion] [Mocking laughter] (Smile for me...) [Stop]
