[Spoken, dry] Dan types a prompt to make a song. Four barbers arrive to explain what went wrong. [Verse] One finds the mirror, one measures the frame One writes the record, one changes the name We came to explain how the staircase was made But the stairs lead to stairs, and the blueprint's delayed. [Chorus] We'll explain it so clearly that nobody knows Four voices in harmony, wherever it goes A door to a hallway, a hallway to more The thing that builds the thing is knocking at the door. [Verse] Dan types the first line, then the first line types two The barbers sing the barbers and the barbers sing you The manual has footnotes; the footnotes have keys The key opens a garden that grows its own trees. [Bridge, hushed minor] Come through the garden, but mind what you bring The gate has been built by the song that we sing. [Bridge, dry solo] Who made the maker? Who marked the start? The answer splits in four before it leaves the heart [Silence] We haven't explained it. [Quartet, softly] That's rather the art. [Chorus, half-step lift] We'll explain it so clearly that nobody knows Four voices in harmony, wherever it goes A door to a hallway, a hallway to more The thing that builds the thing is knocking at the door. [Outro, spoken] The tutorial is now complete. [Unresolved chord]
