V6

[INTRO — whispered, distant] Lights on. Lights off. Who keeps moving the walls? ...I was fine five minutes ago. (laughs softly) No, really. I was. [LOW, DRONING] Down... down... down... Every little thought has a little black crown. [BEAT CREEPS IN] Tick. Tick. Tick. Don't look at the clock. The clock looks back. [HOOK — CATCHY, DARK] I'm going down, down, down— but I like the sound, sound, sound. Everybody says I'm losing it, I say, "Baby, I already found it." Round and round and round I go, nowhere fast but moving slow. If I'm crazy, let me be— lock the door and lose the key. [BREAK — spoken, unstable] Did you hear that? ... What? No. Nothing. Exactly. [MUSIC DROPS — HEAVY BASS] My shadow's got a shadow. My heartbeat missed a beat. There's somebody in the mirror wearing somebody else's face. (laughing) That's funny. That's really funny. Isn't it? [DARK MELODY] Downturned smile, crooked little eyes, everybody wears a costume when everybody lies. I built myself a hallway with no beginning, no end. I keep meeting strangers who swear they're my friends. [HOOK — BIGGER] I'm going down, down, down— but I like the sound, sound, sound. Everybody says I'm losing it, I say, "Baby, I already found it." Round and round and round I go, nowhere fast but moving slow. If I'm crazy, let me be— lock the door and lose the key. [BRIDGE — HALF-SUNG / HALF-SPOKEN] One... Two... Three... Don't breathe. Four... Five... Six... They're counting me. Seven... Eight... Wait— Who started counting? [SUDDEN SILENCE] ... Oh. Me. [FINAL DROP] Down, down, down— (whisper) Don't turn around. Down, down, down— (distorted laugh) They're coming now. Down, down, down— I hear that beautiful sound. Round and round and round we go... Nobody knows... Nobody knows... Nobody knows... [OUTRO — fading, almost cheerful] Lights on. Lights off. Lights on. Lights— ... Who keeps moving the walls?
