{clean electric guitar riff starts,
simple
drumbeat joins} {slowly building tempo}
I pour the coffee,
read the morning paper
Just another Tuesday, fading like a vapor
Tie my shoes
and step out to the street
Walking to the rhythm
of familiar feet {casual melodic vocal delivery} But the sun is looking
slightly out of place
And the clock is backward
on its face {tension building in the rhythm section} {slight guitar
distortion introduced} And then the world
starts spinning too fast
Every shadow
is screaming at last The walls are bending,
the sky is turning grey And my normal day is slipping away
{screaming overdriven guitars} {powerful anthemic rock beat} My reflection is staring back
and grinning While the ceiling fan is backwards-spinning
I try to run
but the floor is made of sand
Nothing here
that I can understand
{frantic vocal delivery} There's a whisper in the static on the screen
The scariest thing that I have ever seen
{intense
build-up} {rapid drum fills}
And then the world
starts spinning too fast
Every shadow
is screaming at last The walls are bending,
the sky is turning grey And my normal day is slipping away
{crashing cymbals and heavy guitars} {frenzied chaotic guitar solo} {screaming high notes,
whammy
bar dives} {driving fast
rock rhythm} No way out,
no place to hide It's catching up,
it's deep inside
(no, no,
no)
{music drops to just drums and vocals,
then swells rapidly}
It's happening fast, it's happening now
Get me out, get me out somehow (help me) {guitars screeching to
a sudden, echoing halt} {abrupt ending on a final discordant
chord}
