[Intro] [Command: Slow hypnotic electric piano bassline] [Command: Swirling vintage combo organ enters] [Command: Low smoky spoken-word poetry] Mr. President... the television is bleeding. And Natalie... Natalie says everything is perfectly fine. [Soft eerie organ chord] But the neon is humming. And the laughter on the jet... it sounds like crying. [Verse 1] [Command: Steady jazz-rock drum beat kicks in] [Command: Brooding baritone croon] Traded the glowing screens... for leather boots. Walked out into the freezing cold, digging up the ancient roots. Far from the human printer, yeah. Far from the desperate fight. I slipped past the city limits... in the dead, dead of the night. [Pre-Chorus] [Command: Tempo builds, snake-like fuzzy guitar riff] [Command: Vocal rises to a gritty blues wail] Forgot to eat. Didn't care. Breathing the ice in the air. Sinking under the weight of the crown, A mutant atlas, going down, down, down... [Chorus] [Command: Explosive 60s blues-rock groove, heavy organ chords, crash cymbals] [Command: Powerful theatrical baritone belt] I am the in-betweener, yeah! Caught between the staff and the bruised sky! Bleeding for the synergy of the talk-show days... Before the sweet innocence passed us by! We shouldn't have to battle the dark all the time! I want to hear you laughing on the jet tonight... [Command: Sudden Drop to Silence, single bass note] Alright. [Verse 2] [Command: Hypnotic swinging bass groove returns] [Command: Intimate menacing vocal delivery] Watching the Scottish shores unfold like a ghost. Training the mind in the cold, where it hurts the most. Gotta reunite the phantom with today. Morph into the lizard, slither a new way. [Chorus] [Command: Explosive 60s blues-rock groove, heavy organ chords] [Command: Powerful theatrical baritone belt] I am the in-betweener, yeah! Caught between the staff and the bruised sky! Bleeding for the synergy of the talk-show days... Before the sweet innocence passed us by! We shouldn't have to battle the dark all the time! I want to hear you laughing on the jet tonight! [Bridge - The Shamanic Trance] [Command: Extended Instrumental, Furious swirling vintage organ solo] [Command: Tribal hypnotic drumming, building chaos] [Command: Frenzied spoken-word rambling over the music] I couldn't pass the cape. They are unworthy! The snakes are unworthy! I confess! I am the one craving the fire! [Command: Primal echoed blues scream] Wake up! [Guitar Solo] [Command: Blistering fuzzy fingerstyle psychedelic blues guitar solo] [Command: Rhythmic interplay between guitar and organ] [Outro] [Command: Tempo slows dramatically, Moody fading organ drones] [Command: Whispered haunting poetry] The old scars... they turn purple in the rain. But the healer always returns. Always... Natalie. Over... [Command: Final heavy organ chord rings out and fades] And out. [End]
