Star-Spangled nightmare

Step into the spotlight,

feel the spotlight burn,

Golden fur all cracked and worn,

but the show still turns.

Top hat tilted, purple star shining bright,

One eye red, one eye violet,

glowing in the night.

Spiked shoulders gleaming, bow tie crooked just right,

Microphone heart beating under rusty lights.

Kids used to cheer when the curtain would rise,

Now they hear the laughter… and they realize.

I’m the star, the star-spangled nightmare!

Sing along if you dare,

feel the static in the air!

Purple boots stomping, red claws ready to play,

Come closer to the stage… I’ll make you stay.

Top hat spinning, stars exploding in your dreams,

This ain’t no cartoon,

baby — these are silent screams!

I’m the king of the show,

the bear you can’t forget,

Once the music hits… there’s no leaving yet!

Wires in my chest hum a broken melody,

Every joint is creaking out a twisted harmony.

Left knee purple, right knee red,

both marked with stars,

I was built for the party… now I’m built for the scars.

Bow tie faded, but the grin is razor sharp,

Come take a selfie with the king of the dark.

They said I was friendly,

they said I was fun,

But the show never ends till the final one’s done.

I’m the star,

the star-spangled nightmare! Sing along if you dare,

feel the static in the air!

Purple boots stomping, red claws ready to play,

Come closer to the stage… I’ll make you stay.

Hey kids…

wanna see a magic trick?

I can make your heartbeat… disappear!

One, two, three…

lights out…

I’m the star!

The star-spangled nightmare!

Last one on stage,

but the first one you fear!

Top hat tilted, microphone dripping with sound,

This bear’s still rocking…

when the lights go down!

Fade out… fade out…

But the music never dies… See you

after midnight… Under purple skies…
