My baby slept there next to me

Clenched between her jaws

I locked my baby in the basement

She’s gonna settle up the score

My finger’s on the trigger

Of this gun full of silver bullets

Too much to pull it

My daylight’s runnin’ out soon

And this door won’t hold for long

One last chance now, Mr. Moon

‘Cause when you shine

That baby of mine

Just like that guy from An American Werewolf in London

Then she’ll tear my eyeballs from their sockets
