1. FEAR OF THE DARK

I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park
When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark

[Chorus]
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there

Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light ?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's watching you

[Chorus]

Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no-one's there ?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone there

[Chorus]

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark (x4)

Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind

[Chorus] (x2)

When I'm walking a dark road
I am a man who walks alone


2. BRING YOUR DAUGHTER... TO THE SLAUGHTER

Honey it's getting close to midnight
And all the myths are still in town
True love and lipstick on your linen
Bite the pillow make no sound
If there's some living to be done
Before your life becomes your tomb
You'd better know that I'm the one
Unchain your back door invite me around

[Chorus]
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter... to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go

[Chorus]
Let her go !

Honey it's getting close to daybreak
The sun is creeping in the sky
No patent remedies for heartache
Just empty words and humble pie
So get down on your kness honey
Assume an attitude
You just pray that I'll be waiting
'Cause you know... you know I'm coming soon

[Chorus] (x2)

So pick up your foolish pride, no going back
No where, no way, no place to hide... let her go !

Bring your daughter, bring your daughter (x3)
... to the slaughter

Bring your daughter... fetch your daughter (x3)
... to the slaughter

[Chorus] (x3)

Let her go ! Let her go ! Let her go !
I'm coming to get you now !


3. HOOKS IN YOU

I got the keys to view at number 22
Behind my green door there's nothing to see
Ain't that a feature, what kind of creature
Would hang around waiting for a guy like me ?

Stone cold sober, sitting in silence
Laid back, looking for sympathy
I like a girl who knows where she's bound
I don't like girls who've been hanging around

[Chorus]
Hooks in you, hooks in me
Hooks in the ceiling for that well hung feeling
No big deal, no big sin
Strung up on love I got the hooks screwed in

[Chorus]

She's tied up, she can't come to the phone
You must have got your wires crossed, she ain't home
Knock on wood, you know I like that sound
She never could keep her feet on the ground

[Chorus] (x2)

Hooks in you, I've got those hooks in you
Hooks in you, in you...
Hooks in you, I've got those hooks in you
Hooks in you, in you...

Right on the money got it wrapped up tight
New ideas for the decor tonight
Make this house a preservation zone
Gonna set her in concrete, set her up on her own

[Chorus] (x2)

Hooks in you, I've got those hooks in you
Hooks in you, in you...
Hooks in you, I've got those hooks in you
Hooks in you, I've got those... hooks in you


4. BE QUICK OR BE DEAD

Covered in sinners and dripping with gilt
Making you money from slime and from filth
Parading your bellies in ivory towers
Investing our lives in your schemes and your powers

[Chorus]
You got to watch them - Be quick or be dead
Snakes eyes in Heaven - The thief in your head
You got to watch them - Be quick or be dead
Snakes eyes in Heaven - The thief in your head

Be quick ! Or be dead ! (x2)

See... What's ruling all our lives
See... Who's pulling the strings
See... What's ruling all our lives
See... Who pulls the strings

I bet you won't fall on your face
Your belly will hold you in place

The serpent is crawling inside of your ear
He says you must vote for what you want to hear
Don't matter what's wrong as long as you're alright
Pull yourself stupid, rob yourself blind

[Chorus]

Be quick ! Or be dead ! (x2)

[Chorus]

Be quick ! Or be dead !
Be quick !
