[Intro] [Begin with a slow stalking bass figure. Sparse kick and floor tom enter underneath. Guitar holds low dissonant notes and lets them decay into feedback. Leave uncomfortable space between phrases.] [Verse 1] [Vocal stays low, close, and casually amused. Keep the arrangement restrained.] Shirt buttoned wrong Lipstick on the cuff Cheap perfume Still hanging off him Half past something Walking down Grant Shoes in one hand Cigarette in the other [Instrumental] [Repeat the bass figure. Introduce a thin high guitar note against the low harmony and leave it unresolved.] [Verse 2] [Let the vocal lose its amusement. Keep the change subtle. Drums become quieter and more deliberate.] Cut through the cemetery Past the rusted gate Someone by the headstones Standing there too late White against the iron Hands down at its side He kept walking So did its eyes [Chorus] [Widen the arrangement without increasing the tempo. Bass holds the stalking figure while guitars spread into sustained dissonant chords.] Don't move It moved Don't look He looked Whatever stood there Knew he would [Extended Instrumental] [Hold the slow pulse and let tension accumulate through repetition. Bass remains steady while drums gradually introduce tom movement. Guitar layers unresolved intervals, scraping harmonics, and controlled feedback. A distant keyboard tone may enter if it deepens the tension. Let the passage develop patiently without releasing the harmonic pressure.] [Verse 3] [Bring the vocal closer and quieter. Let bass and drums carry most of the movement.] Nothing on the gravel Nothing through the trees Nothing where it stood before Then something at his sleeve Past the little angels Past the plastic flowers Past every name He didn't want to read [Breakdown] [Reduce the arrangement to bass, floor tom, and one sustained dissonant guitar interval. Leave long silence between lines.] The gate was behind him Grant was ahead Something kept walking Beside him instead [Instrumental Reprise] [Rebuild slowly around the original bass figure. Let feedback rise while the drums become heavier without becoming faster.] [Final Chorus] [Reach the greatest density of the song while preserving the slow pulse. Guitars form a broad unresolved wall around the vocal while bass remains clearly audible.] Don't move It moved Don't look He looked Whatever stood there Knew he would [Extended Outro] [Return to the opening figure for several passes. Gradually remove the drums. Leave bass beneath sustained guitar feedback and a distant unresolved keyboard tone.] Next morning on Grant Shirt buttoned right
