[Verse 1: The Craving]
[0:30 - 1:05]
[Piano settles into a rhythmic, dark 4/4 chug; vocal is gritty and low]
Sew yew leev de bed-room, step in-tew de cawld,
An yew wahtch yer ote-meel get-tin aw-ful awld.
But yew need a tayst dat swee-tenz uhp de gray,
Yeah, sum-tin fer de shuh-gahr krayv-in tew-day.
Shhh... don't tel de nay-burz hoo yew no,
Wayt un-til de ow-uhn-z brayk in-tew a klow.
(Snare drum starts a soft, military marching tap...)

[Verse 2: The Dealer]
[1:05 - 1:40]
[Piano chords become harder, more aggressive; bass gets heavier]
Hez gawd de fry-in pan, hez pour-in de goop,
Slic-in up de yel-loh froot on de stoop.
An yer eyz get wyde, de but-ter starts tew melt,
Itz de bes dahm feel-in yew ev-ahr felt!
Sew yew sneek a twen-tee awn de bord,
Pray-in tew the brek-fist grah-yud lord!
(Marching snare builds rapidly into a massive drum roll!)

[Chorus: The Anthem of the Addict]
[1:40 - 2:15]
[ALL CAPS - MASSIVE EXPLOSION! MARCHING BAND SNARES, SOARING PIPE ORGAN, HUGE BASS]
[Vocal belts with soaring theatrical rock power]
OH, BA-NAN-AH FLAP-JAK WIL GET CHA FYLD TEW-NYTE!

BA-NAN-AH FLAP-JAK WIL GET CHA BY TEW-NYTE!
JUS A LIT-TL BYTE, AN YOOHL BEE SMAH-YELIN!
(Pipe organ plays a grand, descending chord progression)

[Verse 3: The Secret Stash]
[2:15 - 2:50]
[Music abruptly drops back to the creeping, brooding piano and walking bass]
Sew yew eht cha grayp-froot awl u-lohn,
But yer al-waez wayt-in by de tel-eh-fone.
Koz yew gaht de shuh-gahr sheyks in de dawrk,
Got-tah fynd the deel-ahr down bye de pahrk.
Hee kawlz yew threw de al-lee way in sayd,
Got a fres ba-tch ov pah-kayx her tew-day.
(Snare drum marching rhythm starts marching relentlessly again)

[Pre-Chorus: The Fix]
[2:50 - 3:05]
[Drums pounding; piano slamming heavy eighth notes]
Got de may-pul drip-pin on de pleyt...
Hee slahydz it kwik be-fore it getz tew leyt!
Grab a fahk!

[Chorus: The Grand March]
[3:05 - 3:40]

[Outro: The Sugar Crash]
[3:40 - 4:10]
[Drums roll into a huge, sustained cymbal crash]
[Music strips away, leaving only the dark piano playing a slow, descending run]
(Spoken, breathless and desperate):
"I just need one more stack, man. Just a short stack. I swear I'll quit tomorrow."
[Piano strikes one final, heavy, dark minor chord]
[Clean Abrupt Stop]
[End]
