Hey man! What's your pleasure?
Everything's fine as long as we're together
The sun is coming out with a cooling breeze
Uh Oh, I forgot my car keys
Wait here, I'll be back in a jiffy
I might be dumb but at least I look spiffy
What could go wrong? it's a perfect day
(watch it mister!)
Excuse me, you're in my way
You crossed the wrong person
and now you will suffer the consequences
your life is over, and I own you now.
You're coming with me, there is no escape
I am going to kill you, and eat you, and vomit you
and there will be no trace of you..
(except for the vomit)
now say goodbye to your loved ones
they will love you no more
Hey Mom, have you seen daddy?
Today’s a Daddy-Daughter day, it makes me so happy!
We’re gonna hit the beach, for some frisbie-golf
Oh no, it might be my fault
(do) you think, that’s too much golfing?
Maybe that’s a problem that he’d like to be solving
Mother how come you won’t answer me?
I know, you hate when I leave
Your mother is gone forever
She was more delicious than your father
I have come for you, I hope you taste like your folks
Your family was idle and complacent
Ripe for me to feast on
I am Belphegor!
I am going to kill you and eat you and vomit you
There will be no trace of you
(other than the vomit)
Say goodbye to your lazy life
Maybe you'll see the disgusting remnants
of your parents in Hell
I am the demon of sloth I'm known as Belphegor
I'm killing and eating and cleaning and ending your stupid life
I am your last lazy breath they call me Belphegor
I'm killing and eating and cleaning and ending your stupid life
I am the bringer of death they call me Belphegor
I'm killing and eating and cleaning and ending your stupid life
Remember my name if you can they call me Belphegor
I'm killing and eating and cleaning and ending your stupid life

There was a little door behind my office desk
I was just curious when I looked inside
What happened next felt rather Kafkaesque
A metaphysical rollercoaster ride to the other side
I woke up in a body that wasn't mine
In a bedroom in a house that wasn't mine
At least I had retained some of my volition
So I looked for a mirror to examine my condition
It was weirder than anything I had ever seen
I was trapped inside the body of Edric Haleen
Aaaah!
I was no longer bald and I had a beard
Maybe this wasn't as bad as I had feared
I looked down at my / his trembling hands
But I did not dare to peek into those pants
At least I hadn't turned into Charlie Sheen
But it felt scary being trapped inside Edric Haleen
A woman I'd never seen came in and tried to kiss me
She said that I should hurry or else the kids would miss me
Did this mean that we had kids? Or that I was a teacher?
I really didn't know the standard operating procedure
I ran out onto a street I'd never seen
And still I was trapped inside Edric Haleen
I just want to go back home to Germany
But now that I'm Edric - what if he's me?
Will he go out and trade my heavy metal collection
For Billy Joel, Elton John, Barry White, Elvis Costello and the Attraction?
What have I done? What does it mean?
I'm trapped inside the body of Edric Haleen
I want to be Jutze again - I've had enough
But now I feel the urge to sing about mathematical stuff (...99999999999...)
The variance of a binary variable is p times (1 - p)
Why the heck does this dog keep barking at me?
This song must be at least 6 minutes 15
Oh the horror of being trapped inside Edric Haleen
It all makes sense at the end - but I'm stuck in between
Will I ever find a way out of Edric Haleen?
Just let me out!

You thought you could get rid of me
So god-damned easily,
I just can't get it through your head.
I'll walk this world forever,
Bound by vengeance, bound by leather,
My hate remains, although my body's dead.
So live while you're alive,
Say all your goodbyes,
This is only my
Reminder lullaby
Just so you can dwell,
'Till I get back from hell.
Go on and scream.
This ain't no dream
Or do you have to be reminded?
This ain't no joke
I don't blow smoke,
Unless there's dynamite behind it.
So be afraid,
The plans are laid.
Until I've made sure
The favor's been repaid,
I hope that you stay well,
'Till I get back from hell.
So come, my dear, you've got everything to fear
What does it take to make you see your fate's already clear?
If you could hear what we were planning down here,
That little smile you're wearing ear-to-ear will surely disappear.
And so, My foe,
Your time to go,
Is closer than you understand.
It's come to this;
My nemesis.
With his own blood upon his hands.
Fight if you choose,
But there's no use
'Cause I got nothing to lose,
And I'll come back in newer shoes.
And only time will tell,
When I'll come back from hell.
When I come back from hell.

Josephine, the only hand I want to hold
Is yours, even though it's broken and it's cold
There's no place I'd rather be
There's no place I'd rather be
There's no place I'd rather be
Than here with you
Josephine, the only words I want to hear
Are yours, even though they're filled with pain and fear
There's no place I'd rather be
There's no place I'd rather be
There's no place I'd rather be
Than here with you
Josephine, the only lips I want to kiss
Are yours, even though they're all bloody and ripped
There's no place I'd rather be
There's no place I'd rather be
There's no place I'd rather be
Than here with you
I know that I let you down
I know that I let you down
I know that I let you down
I'm sorry I let you down...

Close your eyes.
Go to sleep.
“Beddy-byes.”
Slumber deep.
Never fear --
Nothing’s here
But me . . .
Stay silent.
No sound.
They’ll hear you.
Don’t whimper.
Don’t cry.
They’ll find you.
Don’t rustle.
Don’t fidget.
They’re coming.
Don’t move.
Don’t breathe.
They’re here . . .
Those shadows.
That sound.
What is that?
That corner.
That shape.
What’s hiding?
The closet.
It’s open.
What’s in there?
Don’t look.
Don’t think.
Don’t scream . . .
It’s pointless to run for the hall,
‘Cause the monsters are faster.
If anything’s under the bed,
It’ll just grab your ankle.
It’s pointless to holler for Mom,
‘Cause the monsters will hear you.
And the monsters will get you
Long before she arrives . . .
That’s stupid.
Grow up.
What’s with you?
It’s nothing.
Relax.
Remember --
You know that there aren’t any monsters.
So sleep.
Don’t fret.
Good night . . .

I'm going to tell you all a story
I nearly didn't live to share
In places it's a little gory
It was a nightmarish affair
Because right from the start
She planned to rip out my heart
And drag me to hell
I said "I will be right back"
That's when she staged her attack
I'm under her spell
She's a monster, she's a monster
With one look she made me want her
Locked me up, threw out the key
With her supernatural style
And the devil in her smile
I will never be set free
From the monster in me
I'm wide awake but I'm still dreaming
Her shadow walking by my side
And in the dark I hear her breathing
How does she cross the great divide?
Now she fills me with dread
Can't get her out of my head
Her hypnotic voice
And there's blood on my hands
But no one else understands
She gave me no choice
She's a monster, she's a monster
Bad for me but I still want her
She's forever torturing me
All the dreams she leaves me dreaming
Every day I wake up screaming
It's becoming plain to see
There's a monster in me
She's a monster, she's a monster,
There is nothing that can stop her
Once she gets beneath your skin
All the pain that she's inflicted
She's a drug and I'm addicted
It's a fight I cannot win
There's a monster within
|

In the dark, when the moon hangs low
That's when I come calling
Crawling up from the depths of hell
With a knock at your door
I send you flying from your chair
Racing up the stairs
Hiding under covers, yelling out,
"I'm not scared
No, I'm not scared"
In the night, when you feel so alone
Know that I am with you
In the chill running up your spine
My whispered "good night"
Sends you flying from your chair
Racing up the stairs
Hiding under covers, yelling out,
"I'm not scared
No, I'm not scared
I'm not scared!"

Jessica took a job at the asylum
she needed money, how else would she pay for school?
The secrets that we keep from others are the real wonders of the world
Where oh where did Jessica go?
The real wonder of the world
The asylum lights still burn for Jessica
The hospital doors were shut, they were made of iron
Eventually Jessica earned their trust for a key

I’m looking for the little one who doesn’t get along with his mommy
The little one who wants to run away, and won’t ever feel sorry
Do your parents ever wonder why your kitten and your puppy ran away?
You won’t ever have to tell them that you keep their bodies in a box and open them up everyday
Come with me
I’ll fix you up a nice pot of stew
All you have to do for me
Is continue to do the murderous things you do
Run away
i’ll pick you up at 9 on my broom
Don’t be scared
I’ll care for you and teach you even worse things too
Here we go,
Poison is the first thing I want you to know
To practice you’ll try it on your father I want him to die slow
And your mother will come home to vomit and blood on her beautiful mahogany floor
After losing her only two loves,
she’ll paint her bloody silhouette on the bathroom door
Come with me (Come with me)
I’ll fix you up a nice pot of stew
All you have to do for me
Is continue to do the murderous things you do
Run away
i’ll pick you up at 9 on my broom
Don’t be scared (Don’t be scared)
I’ll care for you and teach you even worse things too

Zoe Gray - Grave
04:22

I don’t know why
But I’ve been feeling so ethereal lately
Walk on by
It’s like nobody can see me
I’m walking on air
Is anybody there
Now I remember something
Dark and cold like the inside of a
Grave
I don’t know why I’m here but I just feel so
Afraid
Of what I was, what I am, and what I will be
I think I’m fine
This feeling like so many things will pass
In time
That’s one thing I’ve got lots of now, I guess
I feel so free
Can anybody hear me
Is this all we are, just
Passing from the cradle to the
Grave
I don’t know why I’m here but I just feel so
Afraid
Of what I was, what I am, and what I will be
I think I’m gonna be alright
Nothing to hurt me now, you know
If no one sees you
No one knows you
Then you never have to try
I want to start a fight
If no one sees you
No one hears you
When you try to say goodbye
I don’t know why
But I’m feeling kind of sick of being lost
Walk on by
Nothing to see here now, and isn’t that the cost
I’m alone
To see more than I ever could have known
Oh, it’s so empty here
In-between two worlds, it’s silent as the
Grave
I don’t know why I’m here but I just feel so
Afraid
Of what I was, what I am, and what I will be

Forget the morning, ignore the breaking light
All that lies before us transpired in the night
We've long been undisturbed by the events that we surround
But there's a time for everything and the time for this is now
I approach with much conviction, gilded shovel in my hand
To open up my heart, just to cover it with sand
And with all the things you've told me, the denials and the lies
I feel as though your motive is to bury me alive
There's a key to all this method, but I keep it safe from harm
Along with all the passions that you'd smother in your arms
There's a cold and lonely winter contained within your heart
Made into breathless summer when we have been apart
To preserve our endless love
We tore our lives asunder
In the wisdom we've been offered
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
And so we had to sever
The passion from the pain
The discord from the rapture
The spirit from the frame
But Darling, true love never dies...
And Darling I will love you 'til the end
And Darling, when this night of love is through
I will bury you again.
I will bury you...
Again.

In diner outside Irving, where I stopped to rest a while
Because your eyes play tricks on a moonless night in the cold & driving rain
A young man pulled up in a Suburu and hurried his way inside
He was a lawyer up from Washington and he said his name was Crane
So I said, "Where you headed son, to go round on a night like this?"
He said, "I only stopped in here to refill on caffiene
I just wrapped up a fat lawsuit, I've been in court these last 3 weeks
Now I'm headed home to TarryTown to see my wife, Katrine."
I said, "Now son you'd best stay in and wait another day
Cuz there's a phantom trucker who roams roads on the moonless nights."
He said, "I'm a man of science, I've got no time for silly superstition
And if I can make the Tarrytown bridge, then I know I'll be alright."
You'd best stay in on a night like this,
In the demon rig's domain
He's cruising all the roads around
Looking for another soul to claim
He'll chase you down the road to hell
Spewing smoke and flame
So don't go out on a moonless night
In the demon rig's domain.
The next day county police pulled his car from TarryTown creek
His fists still gripped the wheel so tight, his face locked in a rictus grin
The cause was unexplainable, there were skid marks for just one car
The locals all shook their heads and knew, the Demon Rig had struck again.
You'd best stay in on a night like this,
In the demon rig's domain
He's cruising all the roads around
Looking for another soul to claim
He'll chase you down the road to hell
Spewing smoke and flame
So don't go out on a moonless night
In the demon rig's domain.
Well, you'll find your life insurance policy won't cover acts of God
When you to go to try to file your claim
But you may call it an accident if there's no witness around
and no one living knows where to cast the blame
Now Kate and I live a quiet life in Sleepy Hollow town
But I may wear a haunted look, because I bear the mark of Cain
Under a tarp in the barn out back if you'd look out there you'd find
My old Peterbilt parked up there, painted up in smoke and flame.
You'd best stay in on a night like this,
In the demon rig's domain
He's cruising all the roads around
Looking for another soul to claim
He'll chase you down the road to hell
Spewing smoke and flame
So don't go out on a moonless night
In the demon rig's domain.

Ross Durand - Lullaby?

Good night
Good night
Sleep tight
If you can
Cause you know I'm hiding here right under your bed
And you have to be punishes for the things that you said
And the things that you've done
And the things that you will
So I'm slithering out when you're perfectly still
And I'll hold your mouth shut, and look you straight in the eye
Till I know that you're quite sure you that think that you will die
And when when you wake you'll wonder if it's just a dream
But don't close your eyes in case it happens again
So good night
Good night
Sleep tight
If you can
Remember those nightmares from when you were a kid
You thought they'd go away but they never did
You still have torment from that voice in your head
That holds you down and tells you you ought to be dead
So you wake in the night and you're unable to scream
But you know better than ever that it's not a dream
The nightmare is you, the nightmare is in you
The nightmare will kill you, the nightmare is you
The nightmare is you, the nightmare is in you
The nightmare will kill you, the nightmare is you
So good night
Good night
Sleep tight
If you can

My pick walked across the doomed guitar
I heard yelling coming from the front lawn
My songs had come to life
Drunk husbands, cheating wives
Every cliche of mine close to my door
I wish I would have written happy songs
Lines about how happy our times are
Memories are knockin' at the door
Curse the melodies from the doomed guitar!
I'm upstairs, they are slowly com in' round
Spillin' wine, doing lines in my house
I'm working on a song that's so happy, they'll be gone
I'm gonna need a phrase to rhyme with peace of mind
I wish I would have written happy songs
Lines about how happy our times are
Memories are knockin' at the door
Curse the melodies from the doomed guitar!

(Schizophrenia)
I don't care what you say
I feel fine go away
Yet you say I'm not well
You've locked me inside this hell
(Complete loss of contact with reality)
(Dark shadows across disordered minds)
(Electroshock therapy)
Needles and drugs probe my spine
Losing control of my mind
Reality slipping away
Killing me I'm going insane
(Finally comes a neuropsychiatric check)
(Designed to bring out data related to the patients mental disorder)
(Deterioration, Disturbed patient)
Treatment or poison you inject
Your white, sterile lab coats hide your fatal defect
You wanted to help, you wanted to save
But all you've done is send us to the grave
(Schizophrenia, paranoid type)
(Dark shadows across, disturbed patients, disordered minds)
Lock me up, I'll stay free
In my head, you will see
Damn your drugs, damn your lies
I'll be safe deep inside

Daddy would you like to have a tea party? It would be very funs!
We could invite all our friends! the puppies and the kittens!
Daddy would you like to have a tea party? It would be very fun!
You could be the king! And I will always be your princess!
(Spoken) "Fifteen years later"
"Daddy, I just saw the best speech on the news! It was by a woman named Sarah Palin! She was awesome! Daddy, I want to join the Tea Party!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
My little girl is an American Zombie
Her brain was eaten by Fox News
My little girl is an American Zombie
She wants to campaign for Ted Cruz
My baby taken by the Tea Party
Her Disney posters covered with Michelle Bachman
Her converse sneaker solid red white and blue
Her locker has a picture of Scott Walker
Her television always on Fox News

Walking 'round the house
It’s quiet as a mouse
I’m alone / No one’s home
What’s that creaking sound
When I turn around?
Nothing’s there / Should I be scared?
My gosh, I could swear
I left it right there
Did you move this? / It’s mysterious
I won't be deterred
I’m the realtor
I’ll sell this place / With a happy face
For Sale
This house includes a ghost as a frill
For Sale
But the worst part is he won’t help pay bills
For Sale
He is like your roommate you had at nineteen—
Except for the fact that he cannot be seen
C’mon it’s not so bad
A ghost stole your hat
He’s so fun / please, don’t run
This ghost is full of charm
He will do no harm
Properties I flip / are those blood drips?
For Sale
Being stuck in escrow can drive you insane
For Sale
It's even worse when you’re stuck on this existential plane
For Sale
If you have further questions feel free to phone me
If you buy this house, I swear you'll never be lonely
If you buy this house, I swear you'll never be lonely

(Evil sounds Swirling)
Hush little one
Don’t you fear
He’ll be here soon
He’s almost here
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Stay close to me
Right here inside
Footsteps falling
Floorboards creak
Mouth so dry
I cannot speak
He is coming
He is coming
He is coming
Home
I turn away
For just a sec
But what’s that breathing
On my neck
He is coming
He is coming
He is coming
Home
The sigil of the seventh man appears upon the door
The monks are chanting backwards; I can hear them through the floor
The dog with backwards facing head casts shadows on my wall
While whispering his blasphemies the voice in my head calls
He’s here
He’s here
He’s here
He’s here

Oh, forty days and forty nights
Of rain could not wash off my guilt
Lord, a better man than I would end my life too
God, what cowardice to run and face no justice
What can I do? Where can I go?
The ends of the earth aren’t even enough
Take me away, never look back
Find me a place where I can stay lost
I bought a ticket to God-knows-where
But He better not find me there
The things that I have done I can’t undo
Wish I could roll it back and start brand new
My life is so strange
Why must I always sin and never seem to change
How many lives would it take
To counterbalance all I’ve done in selfishness and hate?
I could have sworn its barely noon
And yet the darkness has come all too soon
All passengers seem to have gone
Now I can’t remember getting on
This train is so strange
We never stop and no one seems to change
Where does this end? I just don’t know
The platforms come and go and we don’t slow
You don’t believe? No one cares
The ghost train’s pulling up to take you there
If you live by the devil, you’ll pay his fare
All change for the last stop to his lair

Come on in, take a look. I will hang you on this shiny hook.
Have a peek, can’t you see? You’re feeding my misery.
Shepherded in, our last breath;
They led us straight into our death.
Nowhere to run, no place to hide;
Straight into our demise.
Little one here, listen to me;
One day you’ll just become mince meat.
Take heed of your time, find somewhere to go,
This place which we live, is a land of woe.
Come on in, take a look. We will hang you on this shiny hook.
Have a peek, can’t you see? You’re feeding my misery.
Now I now, this wasn't how life, was meant to be.
Ending my life, chopped up inside of a machine.
Take it out, have a look, make sure the meats all finely cooked.
Chop the tail, mince the meat; the slaughterhouse of misery.

Scrape me out across the gravel
My body offered to the fog
Black out the road untravelled
And the drivers you ran off
Watch your towers tumble
We won't sleep in secrecy
You can't outrun these shadows
So easily
If you feel a breath on your neck
Know what your own is worth
Shadows stirring over your shoulder
Sending the seekers forth
If every step you take feels like
Growing steadily more lost
Consider where you're keeping your secrets
And if you ever really paid what they cost
You're hiding out far from the crime
And the flames
Cloak yourself in lack of light
But more than two can play that game...
So park outside the church
And contemplate the stars
Every voice in the choir knows
Exactly what you are....
And we're RIGHT BEHIND YOU.
If you can't stand the winter, freezing nights alone
You shouldn't make it home....
sing -- raise your voices
and tear apart the sky
let the stars rain down
Sing out the choices
That let rivers all run dry
Our song the only sound
Bring out the dead;
The Forgotten left to lie
SING THEIR NAMES LOUD
Now you can't tell cutting corners
From slashing throats
And you've got your widespread respect
And an army of sleepless ghosts
And if the truth gets buried
Floods are carrying out grave dirt
So run as fast and far as you like;
You taught us all how to hurt
|

The shades are drawn
The beasts are gone
Sleep little child, sleep
You’re not sure if you are dreaming
Awakened to the sound of screaming
You walk toward your bedroom door
Your feet are cold on the wooden floor
You step warily into the hall
There’s a creature massive, hairy and tall
It stops to sniff midnight the air
You freeze in your tracks, and whisper a prayer
You must summon the courage to go back to bed
It turns right toward you; it’s teeth dripping red 8
Your Daddy’s near
No need to fear
Sleep little child, sleep
Time is frozen as it looks into your eyes
In its wheezing breath are a thousand cries
You tear through the kitchen and out the back door
It howls and snarls as it crosses the floor
It is atop you now, twisted jagged grin
Your vision is blurry; your head starts to spin
It jumps up, its claws wretch the ground
Its close now, but you can hear your heart pound
Its jaws are around you, its breath hot on your cheek
Your vision goes black, your chances are bleak
<Rad music box solo>
You’re being shaken awake, sun shining in your eyes
You can barely hear his words through your muffled cries
He whispers sweetly, darling its okay
I’m here, I’m here, I’m here to stay.

Dripping of the blood
I'm walking through the mood
My victims scream and it's all I hear
Can't help but smile
They've been tortured for a while
My crazy laughter drawing near
Remember the time
You would love when I'm
Ripping off their limbs right here
You would go crazy for the blood
Be kneeling in the mood
Licking wounds and laugh at their fear
Now I walked a mile
Looked into your file
I didn't even shed a tear
Comitted an amazing crime
I show respect as I'm
Protecting you I fight right here
You cut them deep!
With your knife!
I licked them in surprise!
Had to taste that metallic taste!
Couldn't get enough of that amazing taste!
We would always wait untill!
They dried up!
And they lost all blood inside of them!
You cut them deep!
With your knife!
I licked them in surprise!
Had to taste that metallic taste!
Couldn't get enough of that amazing taste!
We nailed every of our victims to a cross!
Set them on fire till they were at a loss!
We nailed every of our victims to a cross!
Flames rose higher and that smell was gross!
Ohh, I can still hear them screaming!
Ohh, I can still hear them screaming!
Ohh, I can still hear them screaming!
Yeah, I can still hear them screaming...
Dripping of the blood
I'm walking through the mood
My victims scream and it's all I hear
Can't help but smile
They've been tortured for a while

Ripping off their limbs right here
You would go crazy for the blood
Be kneeling in the mood
Licking wounds and laugh at their fear
Now I walked a mile
Looked into your file
I didn't even shed a tear
Comitted an amazing crime
I show respect as I'm
Protecting you I fight right here
You cut them deep!

I licked them in surprise!
Had to taste that metallic taste!
Couldn't get enough of that amazing taste!
We would always wait untill!
They dried up!
And they lost all blood inside of them!
You cut them deep!
With your knife!
I licked them in surprise!
Had to taste that metallic taste!
Couldn't get enough of that amazing taste!
We nailed every of our victims to a cross!
Set them on fire till they were at a loss!
We nailed every of our victims to a cross!
Flames rose higher and that smell was gross!
Ohh, I can still hear them screaming!
Ohh, I can still hear them screaming!
Ohh, I can still hear them screaming!
Yeah, I can still hear them screaming...

There’s a place that I know
A beautiful garden where butterflies dance
On a warm winter day
On a bush by the fence
A single white rose in the dawn of her bloom
Has a secret to share
Take a step closer
And I will tell you exactly what happened to me
I had seen her before
Aroused from afar
And I knew it was only a matter of time
As I followed her home
I never expected that I would succumb
To the voice in my mind
It wasn’t me
What is wrong with me
It wasn’t me
What is wrong with me
It wasn’t me
What has happened to me?
Don’t be afraid
At the sight of the blade
Wait for the blood
It’s to late for the love that she offers in vain
The release of my rage is a runaway train
She finally falls to a state of repose
Until the blush in her cheek
Is as white as a rose
Nobody knows
At least not today
What if they come for me?
I must find a way to secure my retreat
So I lay out her body and cut her to pieces
I clean up the blood and the flesh and the bone
By the end of the day I take her away
To a place that I know
A beautiful garden where butterflies dance
On a warm winter day
In the dirt by the fence
A mound of fresh earth just below the white rose
Where my secret remains
Below the white rose where my secret remains
Below the white rose where my secret remains

My children were bitten by werewolves
Now they howl at the moon when it's full
It's a good thing that I never feared wolves
I'm a daddy that don't take no bull
I spend quality time with my young'uns
We still go to the park and play catch
'cept one week out of four
When they scratch at the door
Then we go to the beach and play fetch
We're keepin' it Howl in the Family
Just everyday folk right next door
Universal appeal
That we just can't conceal
We're ord'n'ry right down to the core
My wife, she turned into a zombie
And she wanted to feast on my skull
But my poor baby had to go hungry
'cause my cranium just ain't that full
I invited the neighbor to supper
He's in Mensa with a Ph.D.
Then I bashed in his head
And she fed on the dead
'Cause she means all the world to me
We're keepin' it Howl in the Family
Just everyday folk right next door
Universal appeal
That we just can't conceal
We're ord'n'ry right down to the core
You may wonder why I'm not infected
Well, I am but there don't seem to be
Any symptoms that can be detected
Of zombies or lycanthropy
So I guess I'll go back to my coffin
Where I'll sleep 'til the daylight is gone
Then I'll knock back a flood
Of delectable blood
'til tomorrow brings one more new dawn
We're keepin' it Howl in the Family
Just everyday folk right next door
Universal appeal
That we just can't conceal
We're ord'n'ry right down to the core
Universal appeal
That we just can't conceal
We're ord'n'ry right down to the core

Uncurling moisture,
Furled by eyes of inpupilled grace,
Gaping gaze of sear-visioned bark,
Master and horticultist entwined by the unvine,
Servant unlocked as an untwigged door,
Agape engluting!
Dishapen fluting!
Unsounded crwthing!
Shod in sheds flensed,
Ghosted strife tongues with the inangled,
Star-gore garlands the ouster,
Oh So Under Zyvytehliahtysrecht,
Stand above and below,
Vertigo transcendance aflow,
Rivering through yaulted borders,
The secrets unstowed.
