Listen up, now
Got a fistful of reason
And a faceful of fear
That I wear with a frown
As the killer does bow
Time will allow
As I pass through the season
And it all comes clear that
The killer I see
Is the most I fear
Is the killer in me, yeah
Take me, where I gotta go
Show me, what I need to know
Where I gotta go
Here it comes now
The sound ya hear
Crystal clear
Is the sound of fear
The sound of dying, dying
Right to a fault
Methodic perfection
There's a road to the left
That I walk to see
Does the killer know me?
Come into the vault
With a daily rejection
And on through the tears
That the killer I see
Is the most I fear
Is the killer in me, yeah
Take me, where I gotta go
Show me, what I need to know
Where I gotta go
Here it comes now
The sound ya hear
Crystal clear
Is the sound of fear
The sound of dying, dying
Just for killing
Just to gotta move me
Just in time
Because, someone better kill me
Dumb and willing
Just enough to lose me
Killer come calling
On a misty night in Jersey
Ah-ah-ah
Will you let him in?
Will you be his friend?
Will you take him to the place
Where you want it to end?
Killer comes callin'
On a misty night in Jersey
Hear the sound of dying
Listen up, now
Got a fistful of reason
And a faceful of fear
That I wear with a frown
As the killer does bow
Time will allow
As I pass through the season
And it all comes clear that
The killer I see
Is the most I fear
Is the killer in me, yeah
Take me, where I gotta go
Show me, what I need to know
Where I gotta go
Here it comes now
The sound ya hear
Crystal clear
Is the sound of fear
The sound of dying, dying
Listen up now
