1980s horror psychobilly with driving slap-bass, punked-up drum swing, twangy tremolo guitar and a greasy backbeat; verse prowls with upright bass and tense guitar licks, pre-chorus adds handclaps and snarled gang shouts, chorus bursts open with shouted doubles and short echo throws on the hook. Vinyl crackle, reverse organ stabs, and a wolf-whistle pickup into the drop. Bright, punchy, dirty-leaning mix with male vocals., psychobilly

Prompt:
[Verse 1] I went down by the loading dock Found a hatch behind the tar Three rings of rust on the handle And a smell like wet grave soil My boots stuck fast to the slime Something stirred under the slab Three-eyed rat in a candy jar And a hymn from the drainpipe sang [Pre-Chorus] Tap-tap under my feet Scratch-scratch in the stone Hear that shovel-bone beat It wants me home [Chorus] Down in the deep dark They call my name Down in the deep dark Nothing stays tame Chthonic horror Bite my soul Chthonic horror Dig me a hole [Verse 2] Mabel’s crossing with her pillbox hat She saw them hands in the dirt Black nails drumming on a coffin lid Like a kid with a brand-new shirt The butcher boy lost his grin When the wall began to breathe Sixty-six beetles climbed out slow And spelled a curse with their teeth [Pre-Chorus] Tap-tap under my feet Scratch-scratch in the stone Hear that shovel-bone beat It wants me home [Chorus] Down in the deep dark They call my name Down in the deep dark Nothing stays tame Chthonic horror Bite my soul Chthonic horror Dig me a hole [Bridge] When the church bell split in two I saw the floor split wide All those hungry, buried mouths Coming up to drag me inside [Final Chorus] Down in the deep dark They call my name Down in the deep dark Nothing stays tame Chthonic horror Bite my soul Chthonic horror Dig me a hole
