[Intro] (Soft vinyl hiss, distant carnival organ in minor key) (Faint female whisper, panned wide): Dance with me. (Reverse cymbal swell into low, bowed-bass rumble) (Children’s music box motif, detuned, echoing): "Round and around... round and around..." [Hook] (Sidechained trance pads swell with trap hi-hat flickers) (Female lead, slow and sultry, layered with pitched-down harmony) Black lace drifting through the midnight lights Hellcat purring in the cypress night Cold moon waltzing where the willows weep Carnival lovers Carnival lovers [Instrumental Break] (Groovy 3/4 trap groove, violin bass drop on the downbeat) (Eerie carousel keys and dark phonk cowbells echoing) (Chopped female vocal phrases, ping-pong delay): "Hellcat... dreamin'..." "Round and around... midnight lights..." [Short Verse] (Drums pull back, violin-bass slides and muffled guitar chords) (Fast but soft Southern spoken flow, intimate and breathy) Silk dress brushin' on the sawdust floor Grin-painted faces in the swamp-front door We dance on halos made of kerosene Sweet southern poison in a fever dream [Hook] (Full trance lead swell, heavy violin bass drop, wide stereo cowbells) Black lace drifting through the midnight lights Hellcat purring in the cypress night Cold moon waltzing where the willows weep Carnival lovers Carnival lovers [Outro] (Organ and violin bass fade into distant swamp ambience) (Soft female whisper, close to the ear): "Round and around..." "Carnival lovers..." (Engine idle, then quiet rev; vinyl hiss melts into silence)
