(Fast, rhythmic footsteps echoing in a hall)
(Heavy breathing:"Ha-ha-ha-ha...")
(Explosive brass hit: PA-PA-PA!)
(Slap bass starts with a driving, dangerous groove)
Frozen in the window... in a suit of stone
Watching every shadow... feeling so alone
The city lights are flickering... like a dying spark
Something’s moving closer... coming from the dark
(Whisper:"Don't turn around...")
Pressure’s rising... electric on the skin
Where does the puppet end... and the man begin?
(MJ-style shout:"Hoo!")
Ooh! The Glass Mannequin
Breaking out of the skin he’s in
Dancing through the lightning... laughing at the fear
The only truth is the rhythm... that you’re gonna hear
(Ad-lib:"Shamone!")
(Funky, aggressive guitar solo with wah-wah)
(Tight drum fills and syncopated brass stabs)
(Sound of a glass shattering in 3D space)
Plastic smile is cracking... eyes are turning red
Voices in the static... words you never said
Moonwalking on the ceiling... sliding down the wall
You’re waiting for the jump... but you love the fall
(Half-time tempo, very eerie and spacious)
(ASMR whispers panning from left to right:"He’s behind you... stay still...")
(Building tension with heavy claps and rising industrial synths)
Ooh! The Glass Mannequin
(Vocals reaching a long, sustained high note:"Aaaaaow!")
Dancing through the lightning... laughing at the fear
Just let the music take you... and disappear
(Fast-paced funk jam with breathy ad-libs)
(Fade out with rapid footsteps and a final, distant"Hee-hee!")
