The bodies started showing up in June,
Corpses painted silver by the moon,
A virgin girl with hazel eyes,
A businessman out cheating on his wife.
The cops called in the FBI,
Now nobody's allowed out after nine.
I tell myself that this is all a dream,
That none of this is happening to me.
Mom and dad--they think me mad,
So I don't share my secrets anymore,
Of the curious girl with empty eyes,
Who led me from my bedroom to the graveyard.
Is it a nightmare, or a dream?
All I recall is screaming...
Stay away from me, my lover, my friend,
Stay away from me forever, and ever,
And again.
I heard they found your body in July,
You'd been picking roses in the moonlight,
A frightened breath, a perfumed death,
Adorn'd thee as a gown of shadow spun,
No longer me, but O, so free!
Until the morning--lord, what have I done?
Is it a nightmare or a dream when the monster is me?
Is it a nightmare or a dream when the monster is me?
Is it a nightmare or a dream when the monster is me?
Is it a nightmare or a dream when the monster is me?
Stay away from me, my lover, my friend,
Stay away from me forever, and ever,
And again.
