[INTRO — whispered, distant] When the city goes quiet, when the streetlights blink, there's a door underground where the sensible don't think. No sign. No name. Just three little knocks— [WHISPER] Come in, come in, come in, come in... [VERSE 1] I followed a goblin down a dead-end street, past a rusted gate and a broken concrete, He looked over his shoulder, grinned tooth to tooth— said, "You're late, darling. We've been waiting for you." Inside was a warehouse, ceiling lost in smoke, fairies on the rafters laughing at some joke. A witch in silver boots was dancing on a crate, while something with six elbows was guarding the gate. [PRE-CHORUS] Nobody asked me who I was or where I'd been, they just poured me something glowing and they pulled me in. [CHORUS] Down, down, down— where the strange things go, bass in the bones and the red lights low. Round, round, round— let the whole world spin, if this is a nightmare, don't wake me up again. Fairy on my shoulder, goblin at my feet, something in the darkness moving with the beat. Down, down, down— let the old world fall— [WHISPER] You came here to dance. You came here for all. [VERSE 2] There were fauns by the speakers, barely dressed in leaves, a pair of little demons selling glitter by the sleeves. A dryad in the corner had a tree growing through her hair, and an ancient horned creature was staring through my stare. The DJ was a goblin with a crown made out of wire, he raised one crooked finger and the whole room caught fire. [BEAT DROP] The kick went— BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. The walls went— BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. My heartbeat followed— BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. [PRE-CHORUS 2] Someone whispered in my ear, "Don't think. Just move." I said, "Who are you?" She laughed. "You'll remember." [CHORUS] Down, down, down— where the strange things go, bass in the bones and the red lights low. Round, round, round— let the whole world spin, if this is a nightmare, don't wake me up again. Fairy on my shoulder, goblin at my feet, something in the darkness moving with the beat. Down, down, down— let the old world fall— [CHANT] Down. Down. Down. [BREAKDOWN — sparse, hypnotic] [BREAKDOWN — sparse, hypnotic] The ceiling disappeared— the fairies took flight, the goblins just cheered, "Well, this should be a night." The floor started widening, the fauns danced around, the witches kept spinning as the walls left the ground. The moon came through the roof, the creatures looked up— one goblin yelled, "Beautiful!" and raised up his cup. Then I looked around— and suddenly knew... There wasn't a single familiar face in the room. [WHISPERED VOICES] Don't stop. Don't stop. Don't stop. [BUILD] I felt something underneath my skin, little wings trying to get out again. I laughed— and someone laughed back. I stamped my foot— and the floor stamped back. The goblin stopped the music. Looked straight at me. And smiled. [PAUSE] "Finally." [DROP] [FINAL CHORUS] Down, down, down— now I know the way, I've been dreaming of this doorway every night and every day. Round, round, round— let the old world spin, I didn't lose myself here— I finally let me in. Fairy on my shoulder, goblin at my feet, something in my shadow dancing with the beat. Down, down, down— hear the other world call— [CALL & RESPONSE] WHO ARE YOU? [WHISPER] One of us. WHO ARE YOU? [WHISPER] One of us. WHO ARE YOU? [LAUGH] ...Oh. [OUTRO — hypnotic chant] Three little knocks. Two little horns. One little doorway. And I was never human when I was born. [FAIRY WHISPER] Come in, darling. [DEEP GOBLIN VOICE] You're late.
