once told a story about
a house that haunts me still
it gave me a fright
I suffered into the night
wasn't sure what happened
till I turned on the light
(she turned on the light)
I saw it coming
a creature running
its demon eyes locked right on me
he said my darling
your dearly departed
held me tight and took a bite
I sank into the night
since that day
I just haven't been the same
the curious that wander
are my prey
they come rollin' in
to be the heart of my sin
take their souls
and put them in their graves
(put them in their graves)
I saw it coming
a creature running
its demon eyes locked right on me
he said my darling
your dearly departed
held me tight and took a bite
I sank into the night
you won't get out alive
(out alive)
you can say goodbye
(say goodbye)
what are you looking for?
there ain't no way
your getting out that door
(getting out that door)
I saw it coming
a creature running
its demon eyes locked right on me
he said my darling
your dearly departed
held me tight and took a bite
I sank and let my body die
dearly departed,
just close your eyes
