Bitter Cookie

{eerie mechanical music box

winding} {creaky wooden footsteps} {plucked music box melody} Late at night when

the oven glows

He's shaping dough where the wild wind blows

Sugar crystals like broken glass

He'll catch you quick if you try to pass {plucked heavy staccato

synth-bass} Careful now, don't make a sound

His heavy boots are on the ground (shhh)

{reverb-drenched ticking clock sound}

Run, run, run, as fast as you can

You can't outrun the cookie man

With eyes of coal and a sweet,

cold grin

That's where the nightmare will begin (ha-ha-ha)

{pounding industrial pop beat}

Gingerbread bones and a candy cane cane

He mixes sweetness with a little bit of pain

One bite, two bite,

now you're under his spell

Nobody left of your story to tell

{distorted synth chords}

Sweet, sweet, tasting so bitter Leaving behind a trail

of silver glitter

(crumb by crumb)

{sweeping low-pass filter on

drums}

Run, run, run, as fast as you can

You can't outrun the cookie man

With eyes of coal and a sweet,

cold grin

That's where the nightmare will begin

{full climax

drop with

heavy industrial kick}

Crumb

by

crumb... He'll take

you

home...

{music box winds down and stops slowly} {distant

door slam}
