Employee 427 finds himself somehow alone An office full of work and yet poor stanley's on his own The left door leads to freedom and a story, oh, quite grand And yet you’ve taken this decision out of my own hands So veering right you find a type of room that's meant for breaks And skipping through, cutting me off, you walk the other way No, not forwards, left, no, not yet You walk through open doors And now you find yourself above the concrete warehouse floor I've half a mind to let you jump off of that platform there Allow you to go hurdling so swiftly through the air Ignoring my instructions is a dangerous game And yet you wish to play it, so let’s go on anyway A phone rings, you pick up, your wife's on the line You've wasted your life, stanley, oh, how divine Well that's what you get for ignoring your wife Perhaps you'll just listen to me next time Let's dance around these hallowed halls In ticking time, the clock'll call The countdown drags as it consumes us all Isn't it wonderful you can’t respond? You’re doomed to listen on and on So hear me out or face the ending fall Because there's no escape There’s no escape at all Employee 427 Hang on, wait, I wasn't done You're cutting off my dialogue just as I sing this song Let's use this here adventure line to get us back on track Oh, dear, the thing has climbed the walls, there’s no obvious path Perhaps this time we'll venture out, you'll tell me what I missed What makes this game so boring that you'd just jump off a cliff! Oh, come on, stanley, can't you try and hear me out at all? Instead of pressing eight on that dumb keypad till you fall? Oh, finally you've made it down this elevator here Now just straight on and, stanley, look, I'll tell you crystal clear Go forwards, not left, you've got it? Great Oh, come on!, would you rather die than face your pre-planned fate? You veer left and who'd guess, you're met with demise Crushed into small pieces, leaving me to die Perhaps you're regretting your actions, that's fine Now don't you worry, stanley, we'll try again next time Let's dance around these hallowed halls In ticking time, the clock'll call The countdown drags, as it consumes us all Isn't it wonderful you can't respond? You're doomed to listen on and on So hear me out or I'm sure you will fall Because there's no escape There's no escape at all! Throw yourself of a ledge a dozen times Drive yourself mad to my design You're running out of tactics left to try Obey and listen to my words Then backtrack at the final turn But in that move, you've secured your demise There's no winning, losing, drawing back No defence, offence, no attack No asset that you somehow lack No veering off this track Oh, come on, stanley Can't you see this path will run eternally? And in the end, we'll rot away the same So buckle up and take your seat Avoid me, join me, just believe That this is so much more than just a game Let's dance around these hallowed halls In ticking time, the clock'll call The countdown drags as it consumes us all Isn't it wonderful you can't respond? You're doomed to listen on and on So hear me out or I will make you fall So figure out these endless paths These endings end in epitaphs Or freedom coated deep in arsenic The days trickle on oh so fast The end has now become the start Perhaps it all was one gigantic trick But really you can't deny it at all There's no escape, there's no escape at all! Now being honest with you, stanley I don't think this is going to improve the game at all To hell with it all Let's just restart, shall we?
