about

A song chronicling the events of the 1982 John Carpenter documentary, "The Thing".

lyrics

Across the ice, expanse of snow
It's moving fast, with miles to go
Now it's changed, it imitates
Towards the outpost, it won't hesitate
It's not a dog, it's just a Thing
And it will end us with the horror it brings

Left alone, late that night
It turns the dogs and we set it alight
Who goes there? I hear screaming
The beast we're seeing, I must be dreaming
Is there a sign, a blood test, or will we end up
With a mouth in our chest?

Lured it down - deep underground
We burned the camp straight down to the ground
It's growing dark, colder than
The fires took it, unless it pretends
Now it's you - or is it me?
We're left to freeze, while we wait and see
