Here we are alone now, just you and me
Down the halls we waltz, your end is in my dreams
I wanna be like him, he had a dreadful life
I wanna learn to shoot, I want to use a knife
I like the smell of fear that makes you paralyzed
I am the boy next door who put that fear in your eyes
I hope you can leave all this for yourself
I'll be your slave and then dig your grave
While we're makin' love, I dream revolver
They say I'm crazy, falling apart
Do you like the way I murdered your heart
I'm smart and cagey, I come in the night
If you let me in, you'll give up your life
He like to roll in the mud, up to his chin
Now I open my head and let his voodoo in
I rode those sissy bars all the way to hell
Sweet mother justice, I've heard it all
There's nothing left to tell
I hope you didn't need all this for yourself
And the man with the star says he knows who you are
But I just keep singin' la dee dee dah
They say I'm crazy, falling apart
(Boom, boom, bang, bang screams in the dark)
Do you like the way I murdered your heart
(If you let him in, he'll murder your heart)
I'm smart and cagey, I come in the night
(Bang, bang, boom, boom screams in the night)
If you let me in, you'll give up your life
(If you let him in, you'll give up your life)
He's not the man you see at home
He's someone else inside
His life's no longer his own
He's someone else inside
Creepin' up when you're alone
And now he stands inside
He wants to take you to hell
But for him it's heaven
Sorry to say but you're not the only one
You're not the lonely one that turned my light on
While I turned yours off, off, off
Hmmm, hmm hmm hmm, hmmm hm, hmmmm hmmmm
Boom, boom, bang, bang screams in the dark
If you let him in, he'll murder your heart
I'm smart and cagey, I come in the night
(Bang, bang, boom, boom screams in the night)
If you let me in, you'll give up your life
(If you let him in, you'll give up your life)
They say I'm crazy, falling apart
(Boom, boom, bang, bang screams in the dark)
Do you like the way I murdered your heart
(If you let him in, he'll murder your heart)
I'm smart and cagey, I come in the night
(Bang, bang, boom, boom screams in the night)
If you let me in, you'll give up your life
(If you let him in, you'll give up your life)
