Verse 1:
If you don't mind we would like to take a moment
Hold out hand to audience as if to take them onstage
To invite you to an ongoing performance
Turn around, camera follow main dancer as they walk up stage
Main dancer hold out arms to reveal a large cast of fnaf: sl themed backup dancers (who continue the main dance in background)
In a hall of tragedies to watch the circus of the dead
Main dancer lower arms, brooding look, main dance [1]
Feel the spotlight fading we can't do this alone
Spotlight literally fades, main dancer turns back to face audience
Need an audience so we can play out our roles
Hold out arms, gesture to audience
Got a front row seat that's so close it's like you're part of the show
Point to nearest audience member
First prechorus, chorus; repeat for all others:
There's a place in the dark horror stories go to hide [3]
Main backup, Circus Baby to front stage. Raise arm at "dark." lower arm to cover face at "hide"
Buried deep underground pain and torment mechanized
Raise both arms above head, bent to cover hair at "underground." "pain and torment": expression (body + face) of agony. "Mechanized": robotic dance
Whoa on a lit up stage
On "woah" ( for both this and the next), make the top of a kind of rainbow pose, lowering as "woah" fades. Raise both arms consecutively at "lit up" (right, left); raise both at "stage", lower immediately
Whoa terror's on display
Use hands to frame face
There's a place in the dark horror stories go to hide
Buried deep underground pain and torment mechanized
Whoa on a lit up stage
Terror's on display
Repeat.
The show must go on [2]
Main dancer to front stage. Pose with right hand out, the other behind back at "the show must go". At "on," drop pose, raise arms with legs snapped together
Hit the lights we're going till there's no pulse left
Point to offstage, lights brighten suddenly, begin flashing. Beat hand to heart twice then suddenly stop.
This masquerade of souls
Use either arm to hide face. Use other arm to gesture to heart, hand gradually moving away as "souls" fades away
Needs a victim, won't you be our hopeless guest?
Point to audience
But if it helps you can pretend [1]
All dancers do main dance.
Use arms to create a wave/ripple gesture, more in the last three beats of "pretend."
It's make believe inside your head
Wave arms in front of face, with each reveal being a different facial pose
This nightmare's as real as it gets
Grasp head firmly, round it goes.
In the circus of the
In the circus of the
In the circus of the dead
Use hands as a clock animation.
1. Right hand above head. Left hand to the bottom left (first-person view) "In"
2. Move hands clockwise. (E.g 12 to 2) "the"
3. Repeat "circus of the" x3
4. Lower head to face floor. Hands return to original position. Body is in a standing corpse position. "Dead."
As the music plays, dancers return to original positions. Main dancer to front.
Verse 2:
Good you got here just in time you better hurry
Regard audience. Pick an audience volunteer. Gesture to follow.
It's our show but you're the star destined for glory
Body language building them up for greatness. (Kinda hard to explain 😅)
Here performing death defying acts that we can't wait to see
Gesture to performances. Enunciate the very dangerous.
Body count high as the tight rope will you make it?
Regard the acrobats (minireenas)
Zero safety nets the tension is electric
Happy stim "tension is electric". Spin.
Tonight you're the one that jumps through hoops we're going off the script
Regard audience volunteer. Lightly push them toward performances, allow tension and SLIGHT discomfort.
Prechorus, chorus:
There's a place in the dark horror stories go to hide
Buried deep underground pain and torment mechanized
Whoa on a lit up stage
Whoa terror's on display
There's a place in the dark horror stories go to hide
Buried deep underground pain and torment mechanized
Woah on a lit up stage
Terror's on display
[3]
The show must go on
Hit the lights we're going till there's no pulse left
This masquerade of souls
Needs a victim, won't you be our hopeless guest?
But if it helps you can pretend
It's make believe inside your head
This nightmare's as real as it gets
In the circus of the
In the circus of the
In the circus of the dead
[1]
Bridge: (unfinished)
It's where fear comes to life
Know you never stood a chance
As you gasp for breath
Here on the stage
You can run, you can hide
Feel the cold steel on your hands
Crawling to your death
There's no escape
It's a spectacle that drags you down six feet below
So you should have stayed and just enjoyed some time at home
Encore, now the ringmaster comes for you
It's the grand finale, it'll all be over soon
Last chorus:
{In the circus of the
In the circus of the
In the circus of the
In the circus of the
In the circus of the
In the circus of
Pretend
It's make believe inside your head
This nightmare's as real as it gets
In the circus of the
In the circus of the
In the circus of the dead}

Please let me know if this makes no sense. I'll probably just post a TikTok with the choreography later on if it doesn't
