Find the keys

(Haha, here we go!)

(Roll up, roll up!)

[Verse 1]Come on, kids! Gather round!It's time to meet a marvel of light and sound!He's here for fun so don't you frown!He'll be right here when the reel's rewound

[Hook]He's Bendy!The darlin' little devil himself!He's friendly!Sing and dance and drag you down straight to hell!Descending!Down to where the wickedness dwells!Three cents please!Take a seat and start completing your will!

[Verse 2: Henry]I came back to Sillyvision, I really wish I didn'tBeen here a minute and I instantly wish it good riddanceSomething's hidden think I blinked and saw a scribble livingDeep within the dope sheet some unholy tome is written

UuuhhhWas this gig meant to be filled with figments of demonic pigment?I don't think that's proper use of the equipmentSyphoning frightening tyrants from the page into existence

[Verse 3]No longer on the stageGolden age has gone awaySketchy spooks want to playSing along or be erased (Oh boy!)

More than this place's rep is stainedWho'll clean up this ink and paint?Pigment is a stinkin' painLet alone when it can maim

[Verse 4: Henry]I've had enough of those rubber hose murder toonsInk overflow puppet show out to tear me in twosTwelve frames a second every one is spellin' certain doomMowing through a load of goo that's grown into what Joey drew!

[Pre-Chorus]Left forgotten on the blotterWe just want a chance to beThe creator couldn't save usYou'll be slain by our machine!

[Chorus: Henry]Think that I might go insane nowAs I try to solve this mysteryBut you know that in between the breakdownsYou can always find the keys

[Interlude][Trombone solo]

(Haha, yeah, kick it!)

[Verse 5: Joey Drew]Darkness roused, no house of mouseInk pen, king pin, you're in my house nowNo survival kit, chuck your tex-books outNo illusion, it's life, and I am devout

So you Kahl yourself an artist?Well I don't think you even know what art is!They say that art is just catharsisThat's why my masterpieces are all pieces of carcass!

I had a little Fleischer inspiration, and Iwerks hard for it!Think you can Waltz right in, take part of it?Singin' Merrie Melodies through Tartarus?You've drawn the line? I gave it life and artifice!

You got the telegram, swear there ain't no parlor tricks!Just some pentagrams and a couple' candlesticks!Infernal engine wrenchin' LazarusThrough my pen, rendering masochistic avarice!

[Verse 6]Family fun turned creepy-crawlyFrankenstein meets Frank & OllieWho says smiles had to be jolly?Smile a mile defiling bodies

Silly spooks got hella goryProbably an allegoryHouse of laughter built for slaughterin'!Fun time factory fell to folly

[Interlude][Guitar solo]

(Oh, yeah! Swing it!)

[Verse 7]Soon enough you'll come roundEmbrace this darker artWhat goes up must come downEverything moves in arcs

(Gee whiz!)

[Sammy Lawrence:]You've been walking round in cyclesAnd you've had your ups and downsWhen you passed out we made contactExtremely deep underground

I've been drawing seven circlesAnd that's where he can be found'Cause these creatures need their sheepSo he can free us from these bounds

[Verse 8: Sammy Lawrence]Can you hear him crawling in the pipes around the sanctum?Your sacrifice will free me from the shell I'm trapped in

[Henry:]I've got some questions 'bout the chair I'm strapped in?!

[Sammy Lawrence:]Hush little sheep! come meet a pal o' mine with black wings

[Henry:]I'm being hunted by unwanted children's picture showsBy some unholy ghost that broke out of the zoetropeThe devil's doodlin' and I guess he found the rotoscope'Cause now his scrawls can walk the halls of fallen studios (That's me!)

Twisted animator, black magic machinatorDon't let 'em get ya, their adventures hurt far less on paperThey'll squash and stretch ya' through the gears of their accursed creationTo bring to life a new imagineered abomination

[Pre-Chorus]Darkness reigns incarnate at the heart of this machineJust how deep this inkwell goes is remaining to be seen

[Chorus: Henry]Think that I might go insane nowAs I try to solve this mysteryBut you know that in between the breakdownsYou can always find the keys

[Outro: Bendy]

That's all folks! Tune in next week!
