[Intro - distorted bass, dark beat, grinding guitar riff] [Female Vocals - rhythmic rap] Quarter past midnight, tank running low, one little town twenty miles off the road, gas station glowing, OPEN in red, pull to the pump— nobody there. [Female Vocals - rhythmic rap] Door isn't locked. Radio plays. Coffee still hot like somebody just made it. Register open. Keys on the chair. [Female Vocals - tense] Where the fuck is everybody? [Male Vocals - rapid rap] Diner next door got the lights turned on, half-eaten dinner but the customers gone, jukebox playing, grill still hot, TV in the corner showing weather at one. [Male Vocals - aggressive rap] Walk through the kitchen. Back door wide. Something smells wrong on the other side. Flashlight down. There's a man by the wall. [Male Vocals - quiet] Or what's left of him. [Heavy instrumental hit] [Female Vocals - tense] Skin like paper. Clothes turned brown. Looks like he's been here thirty years underground. [Female Vocals - shouted] THEN WHO THE FUCK MADE THE COFFEE?! [Male + Female Vocals - heavy chorus] EVERYBODY IN THIS TOWN IS DEAD! LIGHTS STILL BURNING! RADIO AHEAD! EVERY HOUSE OPEN! EVERY BED MADE! [Male Vocals - shouted] SO WHO THE FUCK IS KEEPING THIS PLACE AWAKE?! [Instrumental - fast dark beat, heavy riffs] [Male Vocals - rapid rap] Back to the car! No fucking gas! Gauge says empty though we filled the tank! Phone says service! Calls won't go! Map keeps loading the same dead road! [Male Vocals - rapid shout-rap] HOUSE AFTER HOUSE! BODY AFTER BODY! SITTING AT TABLES LIKE A DEAD FUCKING PARTY! DRY BONES! OLD CLOTHES! DUST ON THEIR EYES! [Male Vocals - screamed] BUT EVERY FUCKING TELEVISION'S LIVE! [Female Vocals - aggressive rap] Then a payphone rings across the street. Once. Twice. Three. [Female Vocals - shouted] DON'T ANSWER IT! [Male Vocals - quiet] I know. [Male Vocals - rhythmic] It keeps ringing. [Female Vocals - shouted] I SAID DON'T! [Male Vocals - quiet] I picked it up. [Female Vocals - screamed] OF FUCKING COURSE YOU DID! [Beat dropout] [Male Vocals - tense] Nobody speaks. Just breathing. Then my own voice says: "You shouldn't be here yet." [Heavy riff] [Female Vocals - rapid shout-rap] DROP THE PHONE! GET IN THE CAR! FUCK THE GAS! WE'RE NOT STAYING WHERE THE DEAD PEOPLE ARE! ENGINE TURNS! ENGINE DIES! EVERY STREETLIGHT SHUTS OFF AT THE SAME FUCKING TIME! [Female Vocals - shouted] GO! [Male Vocals - rapid shout-rap] CAR WON'T START! SOMETHING MOVES! CURTAINS TWITCHING IN THE HOUSE WITH THE BLUE ROOF! DINER GOES DARK! CHURCH BELL RINGS! EVERY DEAD PHONE IN THE WHOLE TOWN SINGS! [Male + Female Vocals - shouted] RUN! [Breakdown - crushing half-time riff] [Female Vocals - furious shout-rap] DOWN MAIN STREET! DON'T LOOK INSIDE! DEAD MAN STANDING IN THE WINDOW ON THE RIGHT! ANOTHER ONE MOVES! ANOTHER ONE TURNS! [Female Vocals - screamed] THE WHOLE FUCKING TOWN IS STARTING TO WAKE! [Male Vocals - furious shout-rap] THEY DON'T CHASE! THEY DON'T RUN! THEY JUST STAND THERE WATCHING US COME! EVERY HEAD TURNS! EVERY DEAD EYE! [Male Vocals - screamed] WHY ARE THEY SMILING LIKE WE ARRIVED ON TIME?! [Male + Female Vocals - explosive chorus] EVERYBODY IN THIS TOWN IS DEAD! EVERYBODY'S WATCHING! EVERY HEAD TURNED! NO WAY BACK! NO ROAD AHEAD! [Male + Female Vocals - screamed] AND SOMETHING JUST SAID THERE'S ROOM FOR TWO MORE DEAD! [Instrumental surge] [Female Vocals - rapid rap] Find the highway. Cross the line. Suddenly the car starts first fucking try. Gas tank full. Phones come back. Town disappears behind us into black. [Female Vocals - exhausted] We don't stop. We don't talk. We don't look behind. [Male Vocals - tense] Then my phone rings. [Male Vocals - quiet] My number. [Female Vocals] Don't. [Male Vocals] I'm not. [Male Vocals - quiet] Voicemail. [Pause] [Female Vocals - tense] What does it say? [Male Vocals - quiet] "See you when it's time." [Final Chorus - Male + Female Vocals] EVERYBODY IN THAT TOWN IS DEAD! KEEP ON DRIVING! DON'T LOOK BACK! IF THE LIGHTS ARE ON AND THERE'S NO ONE THERE— [Male + Female Vocals - screamed] DON'T FUCKING STOP! THERE'S NOTHING FOR YOU THERE! [Outro - distorted guitar, fading dark beat] [Female Vocals - quiet] Delete the voicemail. [Male Vocals] Already did. [Pause] [Male Vocals - tense] It came back. [Final heavy hit]
