Back to the nightmare You can smell the danger Watch your step See the friendly stranger Stretch your neck Keep them in the dark Now, it's alright You know they only come out at night Your shadow's alive It breathes at your side Got no place to hide Be with you till the day you die You can hear the whispers Shut your mouth Deal with the misfits, wipe them out Search in all the bedrooms Use your head Listen to your conscience Wake the dead Your shadow's alive It breathes at your side Got no place to hide Be with you till the day you die The day you die Mother kissed the vampire Shut the door Rats in all the rooms, babe, hit the floor I say it's a gamble But what's your sign? Up way at the downside, stay in line Your shadow's alive It breathes at your side There's no place to hide Be with you till the day you die Die, die, die you ba*tard
