I’m gonna kill someone tonight, my sweet little secret lover
I think I really like her, but there ain't nothing a man can't get over
I met her in Italy, on an endless beach on a sunny day
But now my wife is suspecting something, and my italian flame really has to go away
I’m gonna kill someone tonight, with a gun that I bought some years ago
It was meant for my wife, she’s always been such an annoying ho
But she has a lot of money, and a really cool car I can use every day
So I’ll stick with her, a cool car is more important than happiness anyway
I’m gonna kill someone tonight, kind of exciting I've never done this before
She’s the love of my life, but my wife is one jealous whore
I’ll aim for her heart, I think, never really fired a gun
But I've seen it a lot in action movies, and I think it’s gonna be fun

Sweet Marie

I’m off to see my sweet Marie, the only girl who's right for me
I’m going to invite her, out with me tonight
She's pretty as a pearl you see, and it would mean the world to me
If I could walk beside her, in the pale moonlight
On her doorstep I stand with seven roses in my hand, hoping that she'll hear me out
As the door opens wide and I see my future bride I go dry in my mouth, but she says
Go please go, cause I will call the cops if you don't, go please go away
Go please go, I've told you many times before just, go please go away
Marie has let her hair hang down, it dances as she turns around
and locks the door behind her, as she goes back inside
I know she’s only teasing me so I climb onto her balcony
and I crawl in through a window, she left open wide
In her bathroom I stand with a spring-knife in my hand, hoping that she'll hear me out
Now she'll finally realise that I am kind and I am nice but all I hear is a shout, that sounds like
Go please go, how did you get into my house just, go please go away
Go please go, you mentally unstable bastard, please just go away
Marie is such a pretty one, now we will have a lot of fun
I've barred all doors and windows, to get the mood just right
I've tied her to a kitchen chair and I've gagged her with her underwear
and now I’ll get to be beside her until the morning light
In her basement I stand with a chainsaw in my hand, hoping that she'll hear me out
Now she'll finally get to see the kind of person I can be when circumstances are right
But she says..

Violent Arms
04:23
|
|||
|
You shiver as he walks in, you serve dinner, and he starts drinking
The old routine, you know so well
He’s silent, he almost smiles, the madness, hidden so well inside
until the liquor, lets it out
And he will torment you all day long, and in the night
you will lie down in his violent arms, cause he’s the one you love
He’ll curse you, he’ll call you names, don't argue, don't provoke him
You’re better off, just keeping still
His violence, it’s all he’s got, his curses, only way he knows
To tell you how, you make him feel
And he will torment you all day long, and in the night
you will lie down in his violent arms, cause he’s the one you love
You know how he gets, how he hits you where it hurts, with force or with words
You’re trapped in this house, if you ever try to leave, he’ll tear you apart
Cyanide, mixed into the gin, he’ll swallow it all
He’ll realise, as the poison takes a hold, and he falls to the floor
Now no matter how small the cell you’ll still be free

Wedding Song
03:11
|
|||
|
Oh girl can you not see, you are the luckiest one in the world
This man whose hand you hold tonight, will give you everything and more
You used to be a whore, how can you be complaining, you haven't paid anything
for anything at all, on this beautiful wedding day of yours
I found you in the gutter, begging I took you in, fed you and clad you
I even gave you work, street walking the dirt for me
But today you're getting paid, see this lovely gentleman, he might be missing one hand
and a brain and a leg and a spine, but he’s the only son of mine
I think he fancies you, at least his mouth starts foaming when I mention your name
Youre just like Cinderella in a way, getting your prince today
And be now have as well as you can, don’t you know its a rarity finding someone under seventy
With a taste for the likes of you, it’s almost too good to be true
Now treat my boy-o well, give him everything he asks for, foreplay or hardcore
Or my boy will tell me, and hell will come your way
Anyway I know you'll thank me someday, what's your life worth anyway, you street trash throw away
Good night now my sweet girl you're the luckiest one in the world

Why Do You Pretend
04:07
|
|||
|
Why do you pretend that I'm not here
Why do you pretend you don't see me
When I can see you sleeping next to him
When I can clearly see you still love me
Please don't wake him up as I come in
Let him think this night is for dreaming
Oh I bet he'll be surprised when I slit his throat
Oh I bet he had expected to wake up in the morning
I love how you pretend to be alarmed
Off course I know this was exactly what you wanted
I know you never meant to break my heart
And we both know you could never love another
I know you never meant to break my heart
We both know we will always be together

The Beauty of Psychiatry
03:47
|
|||
|
You try to hide away from me, you try to hide from your own past
You've changed your hair and your identity, but you know your luck won’t ever last
You are aware that I will find you in the end
And you know all the nasty things that I’ll do then
Yet you close your pretty eyes and just pretend, that I’m not coming
You thought you’d seen the last of me, when they threw me in that cell
But by the beauty of psychiatry, now they somehow think that I am well
But you are aware that I will find you in the end
And you know all the nasty things that I’ll do then
Yet you close your pretty eyes and just pretend, that I’m not coming
You hope I won’t appear, you hope I won’t be mad at you no more
Oh I won’t ring the bell, and I will not be coming through the door
When I recall your face, it fills me with this beautiful desire
And I know you will be right here in my arms, when the life inside your eyes finally expires
You are aware that I will find you in the end
And you know all the nasty things that I’ll do then
Yet you close your pretty eyes and just pretend, that I’m not coming

Magical Wonderland
03:18
|
|||
|
I’m gonna get this girl, I'm gonna make her mine
never have I ever seen, a woman quite so fine
I can not get enough, of her dark wavy curls
And I simply can't imagine living my life together with anyone but her
Cause she’s one of these things that I know that I deserve
And if we got together, I bet she would understand
That I could make her feel like the luckiest girl on earth
Inside my magical wonderland
I have her picture on my wall, and I know her address
I know her favourite color, and what perfume she likes the best
I haven't yet said hello, and she doesn't know my name
But I still spend all night with her in my lovely lucid dreams all the same
Cause she’s one of these things that I know that I deserve
And if we got together, I bet she would understand
That I could make her feel like the luckiest girl on earth
Inside my magical wonderland
I’m gonna take my chance, I’m gonna talk to her today
First I’ll give her some sedatives, so she won’t run away
I’ll carry her downstairs, and I’ll lie her on the floor
And then I will reveal to her, that magical place behind my secret door
Cause she’s one of these things that I know that I deserve
And if we got together, I bet she would understand
That I could make her feel like the luckiest girl on earth
Inside my magical wonderland

Dear Murderer
04:25
|
|||
|
Dear murderer, climbing up my wall
I can see you, but you don’t know
Dear murderer, I’m ready for you now
I’ve been waiting for so long
Dear murderer, drag me down the hall
Rip my clothes from off me
Dear murderer, throw me to the floor
Blow your fists against me
Cause I have been waiting for this, for oh so long
For someone to cut my skin and break my bones
And if you crack open my skull, then I’ll be forever grateful
Cause then they all will see, the beauty inside of me
Dear murderer, stab me with your blade
let it cut into me
Dear murderer, take with you what you want
My heart is yours to keep
Cause I have been waiting for this, for oh so long
For someone to cut my skin and break my bones
And if you crack open my skull, then I’ll be forever grateful
Cause then they all will see, the beauty inside of me

Tonight
04:24
|
|||
|
You've been waiting for so long, for that special someone
Who understands, who you truly are
On this very evening, it seems you might have found him
As hes walking beside you, heading towards your home
You felt like you knew him, the moment you saw him
He asked your name, and bought you a drink
There is something so soothing, in the way that he’s talking
And there is something so safe, in his gentle embrace
You are gonna die tonight, you are gonna die tonight
You would see it in his eyes, the madness that he hides
If only you weren’t so drunk
Seems there's no shaking, this uneasy feeling
Could it be you're afraid, of falling in love
It’s awfully unlike you, to let someone come home with you
But you take a chance, and trust in your heart
You are gonna die tonight, you are gonna die tonight
You would see it in his eyes, the madness that he hides
If only you weren’t so drunk

Lullaby
03:19
|
|||
|
You’re so pretty, prettiest girl ever, I’m glad I live on this street with you
For the first time, first time ever, I'll get the chance to be with you
Cause for a little while tonight, while the stars shine bright
We will lie side by side, just like lovers
I don’t go begging you for kisses, no I am not no kind of creep
But through the keyhole of your closet, I will quietly watch you sleep
For a little while tonight, while the stars shine bright
And I’ll be holding you tight, in some hours
I see you shiver, as I approach you, but you will not be cold for long
I will just lie down here beside you, and I will softly sing this song
All through the night, while the stars shine bright
And I’ll be holding you tight, for some hours
All through the night, while the stars shine bright
And I’ll be holding you tight, forever

Last Song
03:21
|
|||
|
This is the last song you will ever hear
Mine is the last pretty face you will see
It’s not just chance that I have you with me here
This is the last place you'll ever be
This is the last time you will ever dance
You move along in ignorant bliss
This is the last embrace you will ever feel
Mine are the last lips you'll ever taste
You should have been careful, who you open up to
You should have been careful, who gets your love
Cause as you know there are really many psychos out there
Who knows what crazy things they're thinking of
This is the last drink you will ever have
This is your last french bottle of red
You can’t deny it’s a fine taste to leave on your lips
For the eternity you'll be spending dead
You should have been careful, who you open up to
You should have been careful, who gets your love
Cause as you know there are really many psychos out there
Who knows what crazy things they're thinking of
This is the last song you will ever hear
It won’t help you to beg on your knees
These are the last few lines of this song I fear
I’m quite honestly out of ideas
You should have been careful, who you open up to
You should have been careful, who gets your love
Cause as you know there are really many psychos out there
Who knows what crazy shit they're thinking of
