I was working in the lab, late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
He did the monster mash
(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash
(He did the mash) It caught on in a flash
(He did the mash) He did the monster mash
From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes
They did the monster mash
(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash
(They did the mash) It caught on in a flash
(They did the mash) They did the monster mash
The zombies were having fun (Wa hoo, tennis shoe)
The party had just begun (Wa hoo, tennis shoe)
The guests included Wolfman, Dracula and his son
The scene was rockin’, all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, ‘The Crypt-Kicker Five’
They played the monster mash
(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash
(They played the mash) It caught on in a flash
(They played the mash) They played the monster mash
Out from his coffin, Drac’s voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist and said
“Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?
It’s now the monster mash
(The monster mash) And it’s a graveyard smash
(It’s now the mash) It’s caught on in a flash
(It’s now the mash) It’s now the monster mash
Now everything’s cool, Drac’s a part of the band
And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
Then you can monster mash
(The monster mash) And do my graveyard smash
(Then you can mash) You’ll catch on in a flash
(Then you can mash) Then you can monster mash
Easy Igor, you impetuous young boy (Wa hoo, monster mash)
(Wa hoo, monster mash)
(Wa hoo, monster mash)
(Wa hoo, monster mash)
(Wa hoo, monster mash)
Oh life is bigger
It’s bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I’ve said too much
I set it up
That’s me in the corner
That’s me in the spot-light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don’t know if I can do it
Oh no I’ve said too much
I haven’t said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper, of every waking hour
I’m choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no I’ve said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this the hint of the century
Consider this the slip
That brought me to my knees, failed
What if all these fantasies come
Flailing around
Now I’ve said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
That’s me in the corner
That’s me in the spot-light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don’t know if I can do it
Oh no I’ve said too much
I haven’t said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Try, cry, fly, try
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream, dream
I put a spell on you
Because you’re mine
You better stop the things you do
I tell you, I ain’t lying
I ain’t lying
You know I can’t stand it
You’re running around
You know better daddy
I can’t stand it ’cause you put me down
Oh, no
I put a spell on you
Because you’re mine
You know I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you anyhow
And I don’t care
If you don’t want me
I’m yours right now
I put a spell on you
Because you’re mine
You know I can’t stand it
You’re running around
You know better daddy
I can’t stand it ’cause you put me down
Ooh-hoo-ooh
I put a spell on you
Because you’re mine
Because you’re mine
Because you’re mine
Oh
Yeah
AUDIENCE APPRECIATION PARTIES:
Hidden in the silence of your room
He whispers lies that will bring your doom
The Devil… (The Devil)
He walks with his hoofs of goatish male
Chaining the men to the egoism jail
The Devil… (The Devil)
For black magic power
High, majestic tower
Fills your heart of ire
Promises of desire
For black magic power
High, majestic tower
Fills your mind
A beam falls down from a clean sky
Bringing ruin to you, my friend
The bells chime, devil in the tower
Looks over his column the human fall
No more time, devil in the tower
And ever in your mind you feel his call
Two men are falling down
The souls cry and the town will be your crown
The sceptre in my left hand
I ever reign in the material land
You will red the book of truth
Then you will feel madness screaming form your truth
Humanity enemy
I am the guardian of the mystery
A beam falls down from a clean sky
Bringing ruin to you, my friend
The bells chime, devil in the tower
Looks over his column the human fall
No more time, devil in the tower
And ever in your mind you feel his call
In the nightfall you will be a thrall of his evil lies
Cruel nightmare like black prayer full of scorn and vice
The end of the balance is your defeat
While you dance the devil’s suite
Climb the tower, it’s the hour, dream the reality
Out your flesh husks in the soul dusk come your agony
You’re falling down, so falls the mask
It’s time to answer and ask?
Silence in the room, silence in the room
Silence, in the room silence
Silence in the room, silence in the room
Silence, in the room silence
The Devil lies in the nightfall
The Devil lies in the nightfall
The Devil lies in the nightfall
Lies in the nightfall, lies in the nightfall
The Devil lies in the nightfall
The Devil lies in the nightfall
The Devil lies in the nightfall
Lies in the nightfall, lies in the nightfall
Lies in the nightfall, lies in the nightfall
Lies in the nightfall
The devil, the devil
The devil, the devil
The devil
Tower, devil in the tower
Devil in the tower, devil in the tower
Devil in the tower, devil in the tower
Devil in the tower, devil in the tower
The devil, the devil
The devil, the devil
The devil
For black magic power
High, majestic tower
Fills your heart of ire
Promises of desire
For black magic power
High, majestic tower
Fills your mind
Bringing ruin to you, my friend
The bells chime, devil in the tower
Looks over his column the human fall
No more time, devil in the tower
And ever in your mind you feel his call
The bells chime, devil in the tower
Looks over his column the human fall
No more time, devil in the tower
And ever in your mind you feel his call
Hidden in the silence of your room
He whispers lies that will bring your doom

There’s a crack in the mirror

There’s a crack in the mirror
And a bloodstain on my bed
Oh, you were a vampire
And baby, I’m the walking dead
I got the ways and means
To New Orleans
I’m going down by the river
Where it’s warm and green
I’m gonna have a drink and walk around
I got a lot to think about
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
There’s a rocking chair by the window
Down the hall
There’s a rocking chair by the window
Down the hall
Oh, you were a vampire
And now I am nothing at all
I got the ways and means
To New Orleans
I’m going down by the river
Where it’s warm and green
I’m gonna have a drink and walk around
I got a lot to think about
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Watching her
Strolling in the night so white
Wondering why
It’s only after dark
In her eyes
A distant fire light burns bright
Wondering why
It’s only after dark
I find myself in her room
Feel the fever of my doom
Falling falling
Through the floor
I’m knocking on the devil’s door yeah
In the dawn
I wake up to find her gone
And the note
Says “only after dark”
Burning burning in the flame
Now I know her secret name
You can tear her temple down
But she’ll be back and rule again yeah
In my heart a deep and dark
And lonely part
Wants her and waits for
After dark
After dark
After dark
After dark
