Goodmorning what’s his face I’m glad to see you’ve rested for so long
I’ve got a million different reasons to be you I need just one
Now if I hesitate to make or break what I have set to do
I’ll leave myself a mess kept wondering “what if” and so will you
The candle black illuminates and shows the glow upon the skin
But it’s the shadow on the other side that shows me what’s within
Without the will to persevere I will fall much to my chagrin
No thanks I won’t be sedentary baby it’s time to begin
And now it’s time to begin
I will not lie to myself
I will do this myself
I won’t lie to myself
I will do this for my...self
I think it’s safe to say that only I can make me what I’ll be
A Pawn, a Knightly Rook, a Bishop, baby, King me, I’m your Queen
This life is nothing more or less than one big maze let’s find the end
But every curve and corner tries to send me right back to the beginning
I will die before I
Lie to me
I would sooner die
I will not lie to myself
I will do this myself
I won’t lie to myself
I will do this for my...Self.

You must be out of your mind
Well I may be crazy but I sure as hell ain’t too blind
To be aware of what you refuse to see
I DO THIS FOR ME
I was ambitious and bored
I only had too many things that I was good at for sure
Blood, money, sex and war
Still I wanted
(MORE) To feed my appetite and
(MORE) It’d make me feel alright and
(MORE) To give the world a fright and
(MORE) To satisfy my nights and
(I) Will do whatever it takes
(WANT) To show you all your mistakes
(MORE) And now I’m raising the stakes
And I’ll sing
Finders keepers
Come meet the reapers
Thicker than water
Welcome to the slaughter
I’ll fight you to my last breath
And then I’ll show you that even in death I will persevere
Now hear, the words you refuse to hear
You will disappear
I’ll do whatever it takes
To show you all your mistakes
And now I’m raising the stakes
To prove that
Although you were unstoppable the fact is it was probable
That I’d become impossible and you’d become an obstacle
And we’d be unresolvable ‘til one of us was volatile
Just enough to see which one of us would win or die
Finders keepers
Come meet the reapers
Thicker than water
Welcome to the slaughter
I want your blood, I want your cup
I to pour you out and I to lap you up
I want your life I want your death
I want your heart and I want your breath
I can’t decide, which is the best
Take what I want, and leave all the rest
I have what I need, but what about the greed
I don’t need it but I want it so I’ll take it now I’ve got it
Finders keepers
Come meet the reapers
Thicker than water
Welcome to the slaughter

Can’t seem too fill the spaces
I see familiar faces
Have we met before or am I just drawing blank?
Can you tell me where it might have been
Or have I purposely forgotten?
I don’t know how much more I can take
Lookin’ through diamond eyes
It was the best time of my life
He made a promise I’d see my name in lights
What could I say?
Wouldn’t ya know, I gave it all away
Chasing fortune n fame
I can’t recant,
I’m down too deep I can’t dig my way out
Come to awaken to find that everything’s been taken
And it all belongs to you (don’t belong to you)
As soon as I’m able, you’ll see me turning the tables
And then we’ll see who’s got who
You’ve burned me my friend, I know you’d do it again
That is if I were to let you (I’ll never let you)
As soon as I’m able, you’ll see me turning the tables
And then we’ll see who’s got who
Scared, Cold, and Alone
My nails worn to the bone
Upon the Marquee, one letter carved deep
Mr. H kept hold of me
Lead to walk along the plot he lay,
Meanwhile he was digging my grave
Comin’ to get ya
My vendetta’s been forever made, I...
Come to awaken to find that everything’s been taken
And it all belongs to you (don’t belong to you)
As soon as I’m able, you’ll see me turning the tables
And then we’ll see who’s got who
You’ve burned me my friend, I know you’d do it again
That is if I were to let you (I’ll never let you)
As soon as I’m able, you’ll see me turning the tables
And then we’ll see who’s got who

Archie:
Well all your life you’ve been a footstool, yes you have
Just admit it: You never won.
But there was always just this nagging little voice in your head
And it said, “don’t listen to them,”
Well maybe truth is they were wrong and you were wrong
and everyone was wrong
And the third, less loud but half as lousy little voice
was the real one all along
I won’t say I did, I won’t say I didn’t
But between us both I probably did the same damn thing
the same enough kind of way
and the price I had to pay was great
I was a fool once too, Just like you.
Well I may not know where my soul will go but if it’s up to me,
I will go where the fires glow and you can come with me
Josie:
“Oh Poor Thing” You must think that she’ll never get herself off the ground.
Well I did. Got back from the grave, mud on my face,
and tell me who could wear it as well?
In my case, it was the glitz game and the cheap champagne.
Blame the man with the diamond eye, not me.
Pay your respects, I’m the best you’re gonna get
and you can tell me when you’re ready to play
Archie: I was a fool once too. Just like you.
Josie: Who you think you’re talking to?
Both:
I may not know where my soul will go but if it’s up to me
I will go where the fires glow and you can come with me
Archie:
I see the point that you’re making
And I’m not saying you’re faking
Josie: faking?
Archie: only exaggerating.
I’ll give you this, you sound jaded
And I could be persuaded to let you help me bring an end to this guy
We’ll make a big dumb ring out of his big dumb diamond eye
And guess what?
Josie: what?
Archie: when I’ve offed-with-his-head, and I’ve danced on his grave,
Josie: I get the fame
Archie: You get his cane.
Well, maybe not his cane. His scarf, or... shoe laces or something...
Josie: No No No, the last thing I need is another freak
Who can’t seem to choose between which side he’ll be
I’ve been there
Archie: Uh Huh.
Josie: and I’ve done it
Archie: Okay.
Josie: I’ve learned better than to settle with a fool who meddles
Archie: handsome devil
Both: With Ghouls Running the streets
Josie: So I grant permission
Archie: under my conditions
Both: I’m the one that makes him bleed
Archie: You’re a Liar
Josie: You’re a Liar
Both: I’ve said repeatedly
Archie: You’re a Phony
Josie: You’re a Phony
Both: And That’s all you’ll ever be
Archie: I don’t need you, half as bad as
Josie: I Don’t Need You
Both: you need me
Archie: I was a fool once too. Just like you.
Josie: Who you think you’re talking to
Both: I may not know where my soul will go but if it’s up to me
Josie: I know it’s up to me
Both: I will go where the fires glow and you can come with me

Tap your feet, yeah, tap your feet, yeah, OOO!

Well it’s hard to say what I wanna do,
with a head full of regret
I’ll order up another drink (make it two)
Then light his cigarette
But I won’t soon forget....
Keep on talking in circles, that’s fine by me
Your absurd and hateful words will come back ‘round again
You can’t outrun, you can’t outrun those horrid things you’ve done
My .22 is set on you, and baby you’re going down
Go on and take a seat, If you’d be so kind
My red hot and vengeful thoughts have only grown with time
You can’t outrun, you can’t outrun, my eyes have taken aim
These seconds past will be the last That you see this face again
I’m just getting my kicks In with all this target practice
I’m just getting my kicks In with all this target practice
I’m just getting my kicks In with all this target practice
I’m just getting my kicks In, Baby you’re going down
You have shot me down and left me good as dead
But behold as the prophecies told the dead will rise again
You can’t outrun, you can’t outrun, we’re going toe-to-toe
Can’t overthrow my blood oath to make you lose control
You were my detractor
And my Fame became a factor
I see now what you’re after
And I’ll meet it with smiles and laughter
You were my detractor
And my Fame became a factor
You See now what I’m after
And I’ll take it with smiles and laughter
Welcome, your sins on parade this is how they get made and I hope you’re afraid
Welcome, your sins on parade this is how they get made and I know you’re afraid
You’ll see what I’m after. I’ll take it with laughter.
And I know you’re a traitor
I’m just getting my kicks with all this target practice
I’m just getting my kicks with all this target practice
I’m just getting my kicks with all this target practice
I’m just getting my kicks, Baby you’re going down

All Night To Find You
05:13
|

Morning star, You proudly greet me
Brightest by far, Shining while the world is slumbering
Full and proud (Denn die Todten reit-)
You lay me down (Denn die Todten reiten)
And when the sun descends (Schnell)
I will be their feeding once again
Listen to them,
Night’s children,
What sweet music they make
Are you feeling small
Feeling frisky won’t you let me show my teeth to you all
Let me show you, this will only take a minute!
Are you feeling small
Feeling frisky won’t you let me show my teeth to you all
Let me show you, this will only take a minute!
I’ve gone all night to find you
I’m bound to see this through
I live with no regrets, But I’m not done with you just yet
My eyes are open wide (Denn die Todten reit-)
With the one in me that lives inside (Denn die Todten reiten)
If pride precedes the fall, I’ll rise with the night then fall upon you all (Schnell)
Listen to them,
Night’s children,
What sweet music they make
Are you feeling small
Feeling frisky won’t you let me show my teeth to you all
Let me show you, this will only take a minute!
Are you feeling small
Feeling frisky won’t you let me show my teeth to you all
Let me show you, this will only take a minute!
There will be more like me with blackened wings and sharp teeth
One for every three, take your thrones and be free
Now the Father of night from the Son of the dawn
Blot the sun and make way for the unholy one
Are you feeling small
Feeling frisky won’t you let me show my teeth to you all
Let me show you, this will only take a minute!
Are you feeling small
Feeling frisky won’t you let me show my teeth to you all
Let me show you, this will only take a minute!

I've got a message for the man who wears the red bow (that’s you)
I wrote it with some ink that matches, yeah, and now I wanted you to know
Your thoughts and interest were something close to cute
But I remember very well my interest made your desires moot
There was a time when you were happy in your place (stay in your place)
You sat in confidence that standing in my confidence was grace
Now I'm sorry that your love for what we had
Fell victim to the classic trait of wanting so much more than what you had
And now I'm glad...
I have found you out (Who’s Got Who)
And I have no doubt (Who’s Got Who)
In time you will see (Who’s Got Who)
Your life still belongs to me
Thought you could run and hide
On the other side
Well, I really hate to burst your bubble
Look out baby here comes trouble
I've got a message for the lady in the pink bow (that’s you)
I wrote it with a book of matches, yeah,
you won’t believe it til you see it that that ink glows
Your hopes and dreams were nice and sweet but frankly weak
And I grew more embarrassed as my heart betrayed the color of my cheek
You were the perfect puppet that I kept on a noose (stay in your place)
To prove that ignorance was something more or less that I could use
But when the strings I held were begged to be let go
You took it all upon yourself to hold the strings thus wallow down below
Now you should know...
I have found you out (Who’s Got Who)
I have no doubt (Who’s Got Who)
In time you will see (Who’s Got Who)
Your life still belongs to me
Remember now a time
When we saw eye to eye
What's yours is mine and I, I am Devine
Although I sometimes reminisce
There are these things I'll never miss
I'll prove my point with this
That though I really hate to burst your bubble
Look out baby here comes trouble
I've got a message and it's not one that you want to hear
But I'll admit the very content has me grinning ear to ear
It took me moments of perception to discover:
My former partners were now partners,
thus they both must die with one another
And did I cover, THAT I really hate to burst your bubble?
Look out baby, here I come

Fill me up to the brim
(Suck it up, don’t fuck it up.)
I’ve had my eyes on him
(I’m gonna watch him choke and drain and suck the blood from his throat)
Time to settle the score
(Never forgive, never forget)
Now I still want more
And you can give that to me, right?
Got nothing to say
Got nothing to prove
Got nothing to gain, nothing to lose
He was six feet tall
Now he’s six feet deep
On the bed of satin where he sleeps
Disappoint to the brim
(Fill it up, then drink it up.)
I’ve had my eyes on him
(But he was dead before I spoke, can’t drain the blood from his throat)
I want to settle this score
(Will not forgive, will not forget)
And now I still want more
You’re gonna give that to me, right?
Got nothing to say
Got nothing to prove
Got nothing to gain, nothing to lose
He was six feet tall
Now he’s six feet deep
On the bed of satin where he sleeps
He was six feet tall
Now he’s six feet deep
On the bed of satin where he sleeps
Sleep, O Sleep, Sleep Within
Sleep, O Sleep, I’ll Tuck You In
Sleep, O Sleep, Don’t Make A Sound
Sleep, O Sleep, Asleep in the Ground
Sleep, O Sleep, Sleep Within
Sleep, O Sleep, I’ll Tuck You In
Sleep, O Sleep, Don’t Make A Sound
Sleep, O Sleep, Asleep in the Ground
He was six feet tall
Now he’s six feet deep
On the bed of satin where he sleeps
He was six feet tall
Now he’s six feet deep
On the bed of satin where he sleeps

Goodnight I’ll see you soon,
We’ll be making funny faces at the moon
Goodnight I’ll see you soon,
We’ll be making funny faces on the moon
This time tomorrow, we’ll dance with sorrow
This time tomorrow, we will dance with sorrow
Some here are gone too soon,
Now they’re making funny faces on the moon
Some here are gone too soon,
Now they’re making funny faces from the moon
If you’re looking to find what might feed you
I’ll be close behind, I won’t leave you
If you’re looking to find what might feed you
I’ll be close behind, I won’t leave you
Goodnight I’ll see you soon,
