Theme 02:12
Survivor girl, always searching for you You drive me crazy, the things that you do Oh little girl, will I ever catch up to you? In shadows I trudge, hands sticky with blood To find the one who can make it all right Where can she be, does she think of me? Do I keep her up, in bed, through each sleepless night?
2.
Well I’ve watched you grow, do you know that some night I’m gonna be your beau Yeah, fall, fall asleep, don’t, don’t you scream Little girl, oh can’t you see? I’m the man of your dreams Just lay your head down on your bed, don’t be upset, cuz I’m not dead Yeah, fall, fall asleep, don’t, don’t you scream Little girl, oh can’t you see? I’m the man of your dreams I’m the man, the man of your dreams, I’m gonna treat you like a queen I come to you on moonbeams, my old heart’s bursting at the seams With a love, a love for you, I’ll try not to cut you too Just keep you company the whole night through 1 2 3, be with me, can’t you see I like when you’re sleepy Yeah, fall, fall asleep, don’t, don’t you scream Little girl, oh can’t you see? I’m the man of your dreams Oh draw a bath, just relax, I’m your boyfriend now and that’s a fact Yeah, fall, fall asleep, don’t, don’t you scream Little girl, oh can’t you see? I’m the man of your dreams I’m the man, the man of your dreams, I’m gonna treat you like a queen I come to you on moonbeams, my old heart’s bursting at the seams With a love, a love for you, I’ll try not to cut you too Just keep you company the whole night through

This place, was once alive, but as the highway died The guests dried up, they’ve gone elsewhere, the motel fell prey to disrepair It’s just me and Mother now, it’s such a pleasure that you came around I’ll take your bags to Cabin 1, you’ll soon see that I’m a model son Though admitting it brings me pain, through the peephole I watched you change You’re the girl I’ve been dreaming of, through the peephole I fell in love Now that you’re settled in, how about some sandwiches? You speak so well, you’re so polite, I’m so glad you’re gonna stay the night I never want you to leave These feelings grip me, am I naive? We could be happy you see You, me and Mother makes three I’m not, a maniac, I just couldn’t stop Mother’s attack But don’t we all go mad sometimes? That’s why I covered up her crimes The private dick, he had to die, stuck like a needle in a prying eye But now you’re back, a second chance - Lila my dear, you must pay in advance Though admitting it brings me pain, through the peephole I watched her change You’re the girl I’ve been dreaming of, sent to me from Heaven above I never want you to leave These feelings grip me, am I naive? We could be happy you see You, me and Mother makes three

Baby Doll 03:12
Your porcelain skin, it draws me in Them glassy eyes, paralyze I mumble, star-struck, tongue-tied Your silken hair, drives me to stare My thoughts a mess thanks to that dress You stumble, I must possess Baby doll, I’ll walk you home I’ll sneak inside until we’re alone I’ll pull you close, we’ll dance until the dawn It’s feels so right, it can’t be wrong Beautiful girl, your perfume swirls Around my head, them lips deep red We tumble onto the bed Now in my arms, I won’t do you harm My love is real, and so’s my steel So sharp you’ll never feel Baby doll, no need to talk Nothing to say, I like it that way My mannequin, crowned with a scalp Quiet and still, no more screams for help I’ve found a love for all my days We’ll never part, at until you decay You’re now my baby doll, my silent spouse I’ll never let them know your final whereabouts You’re mine to hold, and as you mold, I promise not to stray But once you rot and love me not, I’ll seek out some new prey

Laurie, I’ve been watching you from afar You’re the reason I’m strumming this lonely guitar Laurie, I don't wanna be just a shape to you I wanna hold you until your lips turn blue As blue and still as my heart in my chest All of your friends, they say that I’m obsessed But when we lock eyes, there is just you and I Just the two of us I wish I had you all alone, in your room We could pretend you’re the bride and I’m the groom I wish I had you on the phone, so we could talk And this time maybe you’d leave your door unlocked For me to sneak in while you’re doing errands I could leave flowers and murder your friends So when we locked eyes, there’d be just you and I Just the two of us No one will stand between us now Just know I’ll be with you somehow I won’t stop until this night is through And the morning hides the October moon This Halloween’s not just for tricks and treats It’s for young hearts and kisses sickening sweet And at sunrise, there'll be just you and I Just the two of us

I was the one who played your childhood games And I was the one whose feelings never waned Yes, I’m waiting as the ballad plays I was the one who’d watch from down the hall And I was the one whose phone you'd never call So tonight I’m the prince waiting at the ball Tonight's the prom, a night of dreams come true All of mine feature no one but you And it’s high time that I pursue Chasing, chasing after you, a glimpse of your party dress Flashing sweetly in the gloom, your pretty pink party dress Thinking of your sweet caress Some other guests are here for lusty fun It’s too bad they won’t live to see the sun A shattered mirror reflects no one But by the light of a perfect moon This hushed race is just for me and you And once in my arms, I will watch you swoon Chasing, chasing after you, a glimpse of your party dress Flashing sweetly in the gloom, your pretty pink party dress The things I’d do, I must confess Falling, falling, I’m falling for you Face-first falling, what can I do?

I heard your voice call down the asphalt Heat rose in waves, your face, it looked dazed Babe, come with me, it’s such a treat To bring a girl home to eat Famished, fatigued, on empty You and your pals rolled in Tight pants, long hair One look, my mouth’s waterin’ How can I resist, Sally my sweet I could just eat you up Excuse my boy, he tends to be careless Prone to leave you hangin' around We don’t entertain much So glad when guests can be found How can I abstain, Sally my sweet? I could just eat you up My word, have you no manners? Can’t even excuse yourself Looks like it’s fast food again Worked up an appetite Your brother served a la carte Sounds like your last order, my friend I could just eat you up
8.
Party! Beach party! Bloody beach party of blood (Blood! Blood!) Bloody beach party of blood (Blood! Blood! Blood!) Bloody beach party of blood (BloodBloodBloodBloodBlood! Blood!) Bloody beach party There's never enough (blood!) Never get enough, bloody beach party of blood

Ooo la la, learn to kiss Embarrassing to say the least, a secret of which I’m quite displeased So baby try to take it slow, put your arms around me and come in close Show me where my hands should sit, explain the way you purse your lips And baby, please don’t tell your friends how I learned to kiss Ooo la la, learn to kiss Oh my love, I fear the day, that you might turn and run away So many others have left me here, the pain would be too much to bear Show me where your hands now sit, no explanation while your throat is slit And now you’ll never tell your friends how I learned to kiss Ooo la la, learn to kiss
10.
The wind blows cold down these stone hallways Your soft footsteps and my heart keep pace Love’s labyrinth you’ll never escape Accept my chains’ embrace Centuries spent dreaming of you, your eyes like hooks in skin You solved the box, let our romance begin Like shards of glass your name within my throat Still beckons me to pleasures more remote I’ve waited here, eons corrode I’ll reap what I have sowed My hellbound heart First shall we kiss, copper upon your tongue Above our heads, infernal songs are sung Layers removed, muscle released Skinless, bare all to me Centuries spent dreaming of you, your eyes like hooks in skin Dear, I scream out our love is not a sin My hellbound heart (Can you feel it beating?) My hellbound heart (The world is retreating)

Through the screams and dripping sounds Stepped over bodies and it’s you I found Like a sorority hazing with gore, I found my love, my protege Someone to train, nurture and adore Emma, the one that got away The one that got away Your cell was unlocked, your choice to stay Someday you’ll be the one that got away You’ll see the truth, what frailty is Sing it with me, “NO ONE LIVES” Opened a vein just for you to save I could’ve sworn you said to me “Could you be the one? I’ve got that fire in my veins Now chase me as I run Don’t let me be the one That got away” It’s in your eyes, it’s in your blood You feel that fire in your veins, now time to run I say oh, you say ah Are you the one? The one I can’t help but follow
