Strange events are happening, our world has gone awry
Since she went walking in the woods a few weeks have passed by
Behaviour so erratic, all the symptoms getting worse
Is this some kind of illness? It’s like she’s under a curse
Do I call the doctor or find a priest?
Do I hold tight to a crucifix and drop down to my knees?
There’s something wrong with Sarah Jane
There’s something wrong with Sarah
She has never been the same now no one will go near her
There’s something wrong with Sarah Jane
Not something in the water
She’s eating bugs and drinking blood, demons live in our daughter
Projectile bleeding worsens, at the setting of the sun
She begins to levitate and chew off her own tongue
The blackening of her eyes, the high pitched screaming never ends
We keep her in the cellar with the rats she calls her friends
I called the doctor, found a priest
They said hold tight to this crucifix and drop down to your knees

Invisible Simon
02:29
|
|||
It wasn’t me that doused your brother in fuel
It was Simon
I’m not the one that threw your kitten in the pool
That was Simon, he tied that brick to it too
Invisible Simon says “Do as you’re told or wake up dead
Invisible Simon knows just what he’s after
I wasn’t there when your house caught fire
But Simon was
Swear on my life I didn’t play with any wires
That was Simon, it had to be him
Invisible Simon says “Do as you’re told or you’ll be next”
Invisible Simon knows when you’re sleeping
Don’t know a thing about your severed brake lines
Ask Simon
Last thing I knew they were working just fine
Maybe Simon, yes maybe Simon knows something about that
Invisible Simon says “Do as you’re told or wake up dead
Invisible Simon sees, everything you’ve ever dreamed
Invisible Simon hears, all of your thoughts and darkest fears
Invisible Simon knows just what he’s after

Jacqueline
02:02
|

In the 1880’s killing scene she went by the name of Jacqueline
Cobblestone streets, funereal gleam
A phantom in the mist
Black buttoned shoes, caged crinoline blues
No motive, leads or clues, leaving Abberline confused
Jacque the ripper
With obsidian eyes she slices her way, surgically through her courtesan prey
Fulfils her desires in silence it seems
Only the lamplight shadows know
Another one, without a hitch, for the coroner to stitch
She’s scratching the itch of the Whitechapel witch
Jacque the ripper
Jacqueline

Death Warmed Up
01:46
|
|||
You take me down from the gallows
Pull the knives from my back
Discard me, lifeless, to one side
Leave me for days to ponder
How this could be my fault
Let the dust settle on your lies
You say every time is the last time
Haul myself up and I’ll be fine
Now it’s off your chest but yet again, of course, you’ve got me feeling like
Death warmed
You’ve got me on my knees like death warmed up
I like to stay in the shadows
No one can read the scars
And I think I’ve found my place here
I can see through the blackness
So very clear
Every tall tale, crocodile tear

You Are The Plague
02:00
|
|||
I can’t recall when I lost all sense of reason
It was around the time I ditched self control
I took you in small doses as I thought I could become immune
Now I know these symptoms are here to stay
I’ll take them to the grave
I’m getting nervous cos you are the plague, you are the plague
Pretty little parasite
Deadly and contagious, yeah, you are the plague, you are the plague
Infection spreading deeper by the day
I don’t know how long I have been down here
Each day upon my hands and knees
I will be crawling after you until the end of my days
I can see these open wounds are real
And they will never heal

Intruders
02:22
|
|||
I’ve roamed these halls for a hundred years
Awaiting my one and only
All the while the dust lay undisturbed
I’m calling to her endlessly
But now I’m seeing faces of people I don’t know
I’m angered by their happiness
A lesson learned in time, they’ve overstepped the line
I will evict these intruders
They’ll be too scared to stay alone in my place they’re calling “home”
Very soon they all will know this house is mine
I won’t leave until my love returns
These unwanted guests infuriate me
It’s a certainty when I make myself known
Goodbyes will begin instantly
The smiles on their faces will quickly drain away
I’ll make their nights a misery

I never dreamed that it would come to this
It helped me through those things I’d miss
Kinda picked me up when times were hard
Released the tension when I got bored
We both were doing fine until the fuse had blown
Then that evil new bionic limb gained a mind of its own
It decided we should separate and go do our own thing
Now no one is safe from my
Sound receptive crawling hand
Instilling fear throughout the land
Does anybody understand?
Am I the only one who can?
Even in your safest place
It will find you and remove your face
So stop it if you think you can
My sound receptive crawling hand
Now it’s on the loose killing at will
No one has yet escaped and no one will
The latest body count has reached twenty eight
That’s what I heard on the news today
Faced with a tough future I chose technology
And now a nation lives in fear of what was part of me
Lock your doors and shut your windows never think that you’re alone
No one can be saved from my

She's Not Of This World
02:04
|
|||
When she calls around her feet don’t touch the ground
As she glides along the hallway for her kiss
And as she’s leaning in I can smell her leather skin
And hear the jangling of the charms around her wrists
Savoir-faire, debonair, everywhere she goes they stare
She’s not of this world, she’s not of this time
I’d destroy my soul to make her mine
She’s on another page, you could never guess her age
The absolute epitome of cool
I don’t know where she’s been and where she goes I’ve never seen
With a wit that’s razor-sharp and twice as cruel

When this circus rolls into town the sky will turn to black
Fear will grab you by the balls as the whip begins to crack
We’re here now heads will roll
The big top awaits
The curtain’s up, the lights are down, man you’re in for a treat
The blood and guts and sweat and tears, yeah this show can’t be beat
So sit back and enjoy the show today

Flies In The Windows
02:41
|
|||
What happened to? Where has he gone? Have you seen him there?
A passing word, so long ago, no one seems to care
Bills, letters, old newspapers, building up on Victor’s steps
I don’t hear noises anymore
Walking by, I see a shape and it’s moving
There’s someone there, he must be back, end of mystery
But a strange repugnant nauseous smell hangs in the air on the stairwell
Not one I recognize, not one I recognize and
There are flies, flies in the windows
It’s an ominous sign
Flies, flies in the windows
Such an ominous sign
When I return, across the hall there’s an open door
Searching for keys, a shallow groan, so I look around
And standing there as clear as day, the rotting corpse of Victor sways
Rolling those cadaver eyes, rolling those cadaver eyes

She's So Cold
02:22
|
|||
Open your eyes, tell me all the things I want to hear
No more disguise, I want to hear it oh so clear
All I have now babe is you
Motionless inside my arms
Your eyes are glazed, your face is blue
Open your eyes, tell me things that I don’t want to hear
No more disguise, I want to hear it so sincere
She’s so cold
Colder than an ice cube in my hand
She’s so cold
Colder than the frost that hits the land
She’s so cold
Colder than achilled November day
Forever cold
Now I know she can’t get in the way
Now she’s cold

V.E.R.M.I.N.
01:44
|
|||
I can see young lovers in the moonlight
I can hear their soft whispers on the breeze
Eye to eye, it’s like poetry in motion
Hand in hand, a perfect picture of love
Picture of love
Of love
They’re all V E R M I N
To me
Look to the sky, you’ll see bluebirds flying over
Chorus fills the air amidst the wings of butterflies
Butterflies
I despise

Goodnight Kitty
02:00
|
|||
You’re crossing my path every day, I’m losing my patience
I see you’re up to no good from the look in your feline eyes
Your hackles are high and you’re hissing all over my words
You always land on your feet but tonight superstition dies
I’m gonna kill you
I’m gonna kill you
I’m gonna kill you
Goodnight Kitty, nine times over tonight
There will be no more licking your wounds down the alley
When all that’s left is your bloodstained collar and bell
You’ve been clawing my eyes for way too long now
Only in contentment, upon your death I’ll dwell
