[Dark Carnival intro] *soft circus music, distant laughter*

[Verse 1] [Theatrical horror verse]
FOOTSTEPS ECHO down the way, 
Guess we’ve found ourselves a stray. 
COME NOW, FRIEND, don’t be shy, 
Let me PAINT A SMILE WIDE!

Hide and seek? A thrilling game,
ROUND WE GO—IT’S ALL THE SAME.
Take a turn, take your chance,
I’LL BE THERE BEFORE YOU GLANCE!

[Pre-Chorus] [Eerie carnival waltz] *mirrors shifting, giggles growing*
MIRROR TRICKS AND HALLS SO TALL,
ROUND AND ROUND YOU’LL NEVER FALL.
Turn a corner—NOW I’M THERE,
Try to run, I’LL STILL BE NEAR.

[Chorus] [Waltz rhythm, calliope intensifies] *laughter distorting*
RUN, RUN, IT’S ALL IN VAIN,
I KNOW YOUR STEPS, I KNOW YOUR NAME.
LAUGH WITH ME, DON’T MAKE ME SAD,
OR I’LL MAKE YOUR SMILE… JUST AS MAD.

[Verse 2] [Theatrical horror verse] *footsteps echo, whispering grows* 
LOOK AROUND—what do you see?
It’s only WALLS, it’s only ME!
EVERY DOOR leads to a trick,
EVERY EXIT—just a flick.

*Clown honks, distant whispers*
SILLY RABBIT, DON’T YOU KNOW?
CIRCUS GAMES ARE BUILT TO FLOW.
ONE WRONG STEP, YOU’RE BACK AGAIN,
SHALL WE PLAY, MY LITTLE FRIEND?

[Pre-Chorus] [Eerie carnival waltz] 
*spinning lights, ghostly whispers*
SPINNING LIGHTS AND SHIFTING HALLS,
VOICES LAUGHING THROUGH THE WALLS.
Look behind—OH WAIT, YOU’LL SEE,
I WAS THERE, BUT NOW I’M WE!

[Chorus] [Waltz rhythm, calliope intensifies] *laughter distorts, deep echoes*
RUN, RUN, IT’S ALL IN VAIN,
I KNOW YOUR STEPS, I KNOW YOUR NAME.
LAUGH WITH ME, DON’T MAKE ME SAD,
OR I’LL MAKE YOUR SMILE… JUST AS MAD!

[Bridge] [Industrial horror, tempo speeds up] *heartbeat sounds, frantic whispers*
WHY SO SCARED? DON’T TURN BACK!
FACE YOUR FATE—EMBRACE THE ACT!
LET ME HOLD YOU, LET ME SEE…
ONE MORE LAUGH—JUST ONE FOR ME!

*Curtains rustling, whispers growing, heavy drum hits*
CURTAINS FALL, IT’S TIME TO BOW,
WE’VE HAD OUR FUN, BUT IT’S OVER NOW…
NO MORE STEPS, NO MORE TRIES,
YOU’RE MINE NOW—LOOK IN MY EYES!

[Chorus] [Waltz rhythm, eerie chanting] *voices chanting, music distorting*
RUN, RUN, IT’S ALL IN VAIN,
I KNOW YOUR STEPS, I KNOW YOUR NAME.
LAUGH WITH ME, DON’T MAKE ME SAD,
OR I’LL MAKE YOUR SMILE… JUST AS MAD!

*Distant echoes, eerie calliope swells*
ROUND AND ROUND, A FINAL SPIN,
THE GAME IS DONE—LET’S TUCK YOU IN.
ONE MORE LAUGH, DON’T BE AFRAID,
THE CIRCUS CALLS… YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED.

[Outro] [Eerie carnival outro] *Slow wind-up music box, fading laughter*

[Break]
TAG… YOU’RE IT.

[Short Instrumental]

[Final Chorus] [Waltz rhythm, eerie chanting] *voices chanting, music distorting*
RUN, RUN, IT’S ALL IN VAIN,
I KNOW YOUR STEPS, I KNOW YOUR NAME.
LAUGH WITH ME, DON’T MAKE ME SAD,
OR I’LL MAKE YOUR SMILE… JUST AS MAD!

[Instrumental outro]
JUST AS MAD!
