When you take off your head But the darkness prevails And they loosen the screws But that remedy fails You flake away just like gold The flecks are under my skin And you reach into time Feel the era begin When you take off your head And you see the void yawn And you feel the bough break And a monster is born You walk away like a fool Darts fly into your flesh Don't wait around too long Hook is deep in the mesh Ahh-ahh, take it off, go to bed Ahh-ahh, take off your head Why do we come here? Why do we come here? Why do we come here? Why do we come here? When you take off your head Then there's the glow of the burn All the shadows increase All the horrors return Ahh-ahh, take it off, go to bed Ahh-ahh, let's take off your head Ahh-ahh, take it off, go to bed When you take off your head And you set it aside Yet the fog will persist And the morning subside When you take off your head Ahh-ahh-ahh Ahh-ahh-ahh Yes you slip off the barbs In some idiot's bed You were looking for laughs And the laughs disappeared You're a million years old Ahh-ahh-ahh Ahh-ahh-ahh So you take off your head But you find love inside And you do as you're told You get a vulture eye view So you take off your head Ahh-ahh-ahh (Ahh-ahh-ahh, take off your head) (Ahh-ahh-ahh, take off your head)
