(Soft, whisper-sung intro, almost like a nursery rhyme, eerie music-box melody in the background...)
Hush now, hush now, don't make a sound...
The show's begun, no turning 'round...
The lights are dim, the stage is set...
March along—don't stop just yet...

( BOOM—the beat explodes into a manic, fast-paced carnival march! Instruments hit like a demented parade starting up!)

Step right up! Don't be shy!
Watch me pull a trick—gonna blow your mind!
Glitter in the air, bombs under the floor—
Was the room like that before? 

Round and round—watch the colors spin!
Is it real or in your head? Let the madness in!
I'm the king of mischief, the prince of schemes!
Dare to play? Welcome to my dreams!

( The beat suddenly SLOWS DOWN, becoming eerie, like a broken calliope... music box chimes, quiet and unsettling.)

Ohhh... don't you love when the walls start melting?
Ohhh... and your thoughts start splitting?
One, two, three, or four—
Tell me, love, how many more?

( Suddenly—BAM! The tempo SNAPS BACK to manic speed. Laughter echoes, explosions pop like fireworks.)

Tick, tick, tick—oh dear, oh my!
What's inside? Guess and die!
Tick, tick, tick—oh no, too late!
Boom-boom, darling—wasn't that great? 

( THE MUSIC SHIFTS AGAIN—this time a jazzy, sinister little waltz... almost like a gentleman tipping his hat before stabbing you.)

Oh, I'm a charmer, I'm a liar!
Sharp as knives and twice as dire!
Gift-wrapped chaos, tied in bows—
Which one's me? Well, no one knows.

Watch the curtains—oh, they dance!
In their folds, a hidden glance.
Twist, twist, turn your head—
What's that shadow 'neath your bed?

( THE MUSIC TWISTS AGAIN—tempo slows, voice gets distorted, like a warped cassette tape... heavy breathing, whispered giggles.)

Drip, drip, drip—red on the floor...
Oops, I slipped—who's keeping score?
Did you scream? No, don't be scared...
After all, you're already there... 

( MUSIC BUILDS UP—everything is spinning, chaotic, too fast! Like a carousel that won't stop. Then—CRASH! The sound of a clock stopping. The final verse is sung eerily slow... whisper-soft.)

Hush now, hush now, don't make a sound...
The show's not over... I'm still around... 

( FINAL SOUND: A slow, drawn-out giggle... then silence.) 🎶
