Torture Doctor
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The torture doctor is in
Back here to confess his sins
Knowing damn well he was dead wrong
And I can’t believe my eyes
Trouble and regret on my mind
I’ll let you take the whole thing down, brick by brick
Tonight
There’s a devil dancing in my head
As I’m hovering above your bed
Hey! Ho!
We know how this story goes
Hey! Ho!
The plot it thickens and grows
Hey ho!
There’s nothing left to hide
Hey ho!
Down here on the south side
I was the worst of my kind
I left my old life behind
Can’t believe I got away with it so long
And at the end of the day
There is nothing to say
So tired of being why it’s wrong
All my life
There’s a devil dancing in my head
As I’m hovering above your bed
Hey! Ho!
We know how this story goes
Hey! Ho!
The plot it thickens and grows
Hey! Ho!
There’s nothing left to hide
Hey! Ho!
Down here on the south side
Down on the south side
Hey! Ho!
We know how this story goes
Hey! Ho!
The plot it thickens and grows
Hey! Ho!
There’s nothing left to hide
Hey! Ho!
Down here on the south side
Down on the south side
Down on the south side
