[Intro — whispered, bass creeping in] Something's moving in the hallway I'm not alone tonight Mm, that's alright [Verse 1] Black cat sitting on the dashboard Red light, quarter after ten Got a text from an old flame Said he's dying to see me again Moon looks like a bad decision Streetlights flicker when I pass Got a little superstition Good things never seem to last [Pre-Chorus — percussion builds] And the walls go tick, tick, tick Like a clock with a nervous twitch There's a knock, knock, knock But nobody's there when I look [Chorus — full funky bass, disco drums] We're having a dead good time Dancing on the other side If the world's gonna end tonight Baby, make it look alive Ooh, what a beautiful fright Everybody's out of their minds Got one foot in the afterlife And we're having a dead good time [Post-Chorus — chopped vocal hook] Dead good, dead good Da-da-dead good time Dead good, dead good Looking so alive [Verse 2] Someone left a handprint on the mirror Someone stole the keys to my car DJ's got a pulse like a fever And the bass is shaking up the yard There's a girl in a white dress laughing Says she's been here since '93 I said, "Honey, what's your secret?" She said, "Nobody remembers me" [Pre-Chorus — half-time break] And the floor goes creak, creak, creak Got a cold hand touching my cheek Hear a voice say, "Don't look back" So I turn around and laugh [Chorus] We're having a dead good time Dancing on the other side If the world's gonna end tonight Baby, make it look alive Ooh, what a beautiful fright Everybody's out of their minds Got one foot in the afterlife And we're having a dead good time [Bridge — bass drops out, eerie synth and whispered vocals] If I disappear before the morning Don't go looking for a sign Leave the porch light on till sunrise I'll be home another time [Beat returns — spoken] Wait. Who's driving? [Instrumental break — distorted funk bass, cowbell, psychedelic synth solo] [Final Chorus — layered vocals, bigger percussion] We're having a dead good time Dancing on the other side If the world's gonna end tonight Baby, make it look alive Ooh, what a beautiful fright Everybody's out of their minds Got one foot in the afterlife And we're having a dead good time [Outro — instruments gradually disappear] Dead good, dead good Da-da-dead good time [Whispered] Nobody remembers me. [End]
