Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We moved in on Lenox
With a box of bones and books
My husband got the smile
My belly got the looks
The hallway smelled like soup
But the eyes were all for me
Mrs. Kline from 4B
Kept the key to everything
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "Welcome, dear"
With a little too much grin
Then she touched my wrist
Like she knew what I held in
[Chorus]
They want the baby
They want the baby
I hear it in the walls
They want the baby
They want the baby
For the climb, for the call
(They want the baby)
[Verse 2]
Mr. Vale in 5C
With his velvet shoes and cane
Always asking "How's your husband?"
Like he knew my husband's name
They brought by bread and wine
And a candle burning black
Then they laughed too hard
When I turned and looked back
[Pre-Chorus]
I saw a red mark
On the inside of the door
Like a little hand
Had been there once before
[Chorus]
They want the baby
They want the baby
I hear it in the walls
They want the baby
They want the baby
For the climb, for the call
(They want the baby)
[Bridge]
My man says, "You're scared"
Says, "It's stress, it's just this place"
But their praise tastes thin
Like something that can't be named
And in the tub at night
When the water pulls apart
I swear I hear them laugh
Above the nursery dark
[Final Chorus]
They want the baby
They want the baby
I hear it in the walls
They want the baby
They want the baby
For the climb, for the call
They want the baby
They want the baby
I won't give them mine at all
(They want the baby)

Style
Dark cinematic pop with half-time pulse and jittery hand percussion; verse rides sparse piano, muted sub-bass, and close-mic female vocal; pre-chorus strips to heartbeat kick and rising strings; chorus hits with stacked harmonies, gang echoes, and a chantable hook. Use reversed swells, door-chain rattles, and a final lift into eerie choir pads. Bright, polished, and claustrophobic
