(Intro) (Clean, lonely guitar riff plays twice) (Feedback swells...) (DRUMS KICK IN - FAST AND HEAVY) (Verse 1) Woke up five minutes past the deadline Coffee’s cold, tastes like battery acid and turpentine Put my key in the ignition, hear the click of the dead There’s a symphony of static playing in my head I tied my shoes, the laces snapped in half I swear I heard the radiator laugh (Pre-Chorus) (Music builds tension, bass line gets louder) Don't look left Don't look right The worst case scenario is coming tonight (Chorus) (Full Distortion, aggressive volume) Why does Murphy stalks me like a shadow on the wall? He’s waiting at the top just to watch me take the fall! Everything that can go wrong, is gonna blow apart It’s not just bad luck, man, it’s a calculated art! Stalking me! (Yeah!) Shadow boxing me! (Yeah!) I’m the punchline to a joke nobody wrote! (Verse 2) (Bass only, drums riding the tom-toms - moody) I bought a winning ticket, washed it in the jeans Every light turns red, stopping all the machines I try to play it safe, I stay inside the lines But the universe is reading all my desperate signs One step forward, fall down the stairs Send a prayer up, but no one cares (Pre-Chorus) (Guitars slide back in, chugging rhythm) Don't breathe in Don't breathe out There’s a catastrophe in the doubt (Chorus) (Explosive energy) Why does Murphy stalks me like a shadow on the wall? He’s waiting at the top just to watch me take the fall! Everything that can go wrong, is gonna blow apart It’s not just bad luck, man, it’s a calculated art! Stalking me! (Yeah!) Shadow boxing me! (Yeah!) I’m the punchline to a joke nobody wrote! (Bridge) (Tempo slows down to a heavy sludge—Heavy Grunge Feel) It’s in the wiring... It’s in the floorboards... It’s in the gray sky... Gravity hates me. Chance hates me. Odds... are... ZERO. (Guitar Solo) (Noisy, chaotic, lots of feedback and whammy bar abuse. Not technical, just angry.) (Chorus) (Double time - Maximum Punk Speed) WHY DOES MURPHY STALK ME LIKE A SHADOW ON THE WALL? WAITING AT THE TOP JUST TO WATCH ME TAKE THE FALL! IF IT CAN GO WRONG, IT’S GONNA GO WRONG! IF IT CAN GO WRONG, IT’S GONNA GO WRONG! (Outro) Get off my back! (Feedback squeal) Get off my back! (cymbal crash) Just let me win... once. (Abrupt silence)
