Her scent still lingers
Like dead flowers and city rain
I can taste it with every breath
Some say I sleeping with Lady Death
I met her at a funeral home
She was singing from a book of hymns
Smiling down on a wooden casket
Crying hard for all my sins
Her black hair flows like a hundred crows
around a pretty pale face with blood red lips
Her long legs dance upon my grave
And there's ice in her fingertips
She rides fast astride a pale horse
Reaping souls for judgment day
She glides past with gale force
Weeping for those who forget to pray
She takes me in the shadows for love
Will I make it through to the morning light
She says I belong among the stars above
Her eyes are endless night
If this is all false then I'll live the lie
If this is Hell then I have to stay
If it's a dream then I want to die
I'm in Heaven with her anyway
I'm in Heaven with her anyway
I'm in Heaven with her anyway
Her black hair flows like a hundred crows
around a pretty pale face with blood red lips
Her long legs dance upon my grave
And there's ice in her fingertips
She rides fast astride a pale horse
Reaping souls for judgment day
She glides past with gale force
Weeping for those who forget to pray
Don't forget to pray
I want her to myself
I'm just trying to think things straight
And it's getting kind of late
The world is moving faster and faster
It's hard to be the master of my fate
I run around wasting the days
I wish I could shake this haze
Waiting for the midnight hour
So I can feed the power of this craze
When the sun burns I feel cold
And when it's raining I start to sweat
I believe it's time to fold
I've got no more soul left to bet
Will I ever break on through
Or should I leave it up to you
I close my eyes, wishing and dreaming
And see ruined plans
But I'm still scheming
I don't even know my own heart
And it's tearing me apart
I feel like running away everyday
Am I coward or courage
Because I stay
Listen to the music, open up for song
Do you want to learn a new trick?
Reach out to me
And I won't do you no wrong
Don't be afraid there's nothing but fear
I'm on your side
Don't run away, the way is clear
Don't miss your chance to ride
Look inside and let it out
Watch hot passion burn
It's alright to free self-doubt
It's time so take your turn
When I feel my heart beating strong
And my skull is certainly on fire
I reach out to you
Share love with a live wire
Listen to the music, open up for song
Searching for that yellow brick
Ask me to follow
And I won't do you no wrong
No, I won't do you no wrong
Her scent still lingers
Like dead flowers and city rain
I can taste it with every breath
Some say I sleeping with Lady Death

And I won't do you no wrong
No, I won't do you no wrong
I'm gonna make you sweat
Help you come to your senses
It might get a little wild and wet
Once you let down all defenses
Come and hold my hand awhile
Kick off your shoes and run with me
Baby, you got some kind of style
But there's still so many things to see
We gotta lotta bills
And our work week is long
We gotta get some thrills some way
Lets watch the setting sun
And make another song
We'll just laugh and love all day
Rain keeps rushing down
And wind is racing through the trees
Baby, let's split town
If we stay we're gonna freeze
Which path should we take?
Can we run more than one?
There's footprints everywhere
Has it all been done?
We gotta lotta bills
And our work week is long
We gotta get some thrills some way
Lets watch the setting sun
And make another song
We'll just laugh and love all day
We'll just laugh and love all day
Let's turn the world away
We shared night a long time past
Grew apart later
Left it at that
It's been years since I've see her
And I just gotta know
What is she doing
Is she thinking the same thing
I still got old letters
But I can't read them anymore
Fearing they might still make sense
And burn me to my core
Her face haunts my dreams at night
Wish I would've done love right
I still got old letters
But I can't read them anymore
Ten year reunion is coming up soon
Would like to attend
Same old tune
Better leave it alone
But I just gotta know
What is she doing
And is she gonna go
Temptation on the right
Temptation on the left
Temptation all around until our death
Run and hide, hide and seek
Live your plight another day
It's alright to cry, but don't get mad
Remember to laugh and pray
Come on! Try to smile
Open up your real eyes
And meditate awhile
Then you'll really see
Things around inside
You only see
Share your vision

Most stay blind from birth
Don't you know most stay blind from birth
Before the throne of Satan
I am the jester clown
Jokes for the king of lies
So he can burn me down
I used to be a demon
With powers strong and vast
Until I heard her screaming
From the future in my past
I loved a mortal female
Her beauty stronger than my song
I tried to leave the fire and brimstone
But it didn't last long
I've tried to swim the river Styx
And tempt the hounds at Hell's gate
I set angels free
But I can't deny
A demon's fate
Satan calls me the Dead Joker
Whenever he needs a laugh
Insanity dance mad round my head
So comes the dark lord's wrath
She comes to me in a dream
But I can't caress the smoke
My tears are flowing demon stream
So the devil gets his joke
And so the devil gets his joke
I've tried to swim the rive Styx
And tempt the hounds at Hell's gate
I set angels free
But I can't deny
A demon's fate
I set angels free
But I can't deny
A demon's fate
They say I have a rusty bow
A rusty bow they say
So I took my rusty bow
And showed them how to play
I've been away at sea so long
So long at sea I say
I learned a sweet siren song
Come closer and I'll play
Once I knew a maiden fair
A maiden fair I say
She would dance and sing with care
While my bow did play
I lost my love at sea so long
Lost my love I say
I lost my love and siren song
My rusty bow won't play
My friends just laugh and buy me beer
Buy me beer I say
To give them cheer with my pain
I'll show them how to play
Fingers raw and raspy voice
Raspy voice I say
No one will sing as long as I
With rusty bow I play
Her scent still lingers
Like dead flowers and city rain
I can taste it with every breath
Some say I sleeping with Lady Death
I met her at a funeral home
She was singing from a book of hymns
Smiling down on a wooden casket
