"Come into my parlor" Said the spider to the fly I've got many devices to satisfy Step right up to the counter Do you like what you see? Would you care for a thrill? Or do you think I'm crazy? You seem to be running a fever Just about a hundred and one Who said it can't be fun? Fever in the funhouse Who's house? Our house! Step right into the action You can play the starring role Come and be the main attraction That steals the show You can be my nasty habit You can be my debutant You can be my dirty Anything you want You seem to be running a fever Just about a hundred and two Tell me what to do Fever in the funhouse Who's house? Our house! You seem to be running a fever Just about a hundred and three Gimme what I need Fever in the funhouse Who's house? Our house! You got the fever Fever in the funhouse Gotta catch a fever Fever in the funhouse Our house!

Inside 04:22
Many years have passed since I first met you Seems like my whole life has passed me by After all this time I should remember The moment I tore down my walls And let you come inside I've been spending all my time Picking up the pieces Shattered by the things I let you do I'm feeling much better now Still I just can't figure why Everyone inside my head still wants to talk to you So now you've torn away the final curtain Now I've let you take a look inside Are you afraid of what you have created Will you still play this game we started Long ago, please come inside I've been spending all my time Picking up the pieces Shattered by the things I let you do I'm feeling much better now Still I just can't figure why Everyone inside my head still wants to talk to you

I can't hardly sleep at night I can't seem to feed my appetite I promise I won't bite If you give me half a chance I just might do anything you like I got you on the tip of my tongue I can't help myself I can't help myself I got you on the tip of my tongue I hate to see it going to waste I make it a point to clean my plate I, can you see it on my face I like the thrill of the kill Instead of just the thrill of the chase Give me a little taste I got you on the tip of my tongue I can't help myself I can't help myself I got you on the tip of my tongue I can't help myself I got you on the tip of my tongue I can't help myself I can't help myself I got you on the tip of my tongue I can't help myself From the bottom to the top I promise I won't miss a drop Until you're begging me to stop On the tip of my tongue Upside down and inside out Let me teach you all about it 'Till you just can't live without it On the tip of my tongue Turn it up I'll turn you on Even when your clothes are on I want to hear you sing my song On the tip of my tongue There's no better time than now For me just to show you how I've got a taste that's in my mouth On the tip of my tongue I need a fix and you're the one You're the one so won't you come Gimme gimme gimme some On the tip of my tongue I got you on the tip of my tongue I can't help myself I can't help myself I got you on the tip of my tongue I can't help myself I got you on the tip of my tongue I can't help myself I can't help myself I got you on the tip of my tongue I can't help myself

Long days, short nights, mid-July I was all of fifteen years old Out my window upstairs By the pool next door She looked like Marylin Monroe Hot nights, cold sweats, by the time I got the nerve to say hello Her daddy got a job, said "she's moving away" She was telling me she had to go There she goes, out the driveway Leaving much to my chagrin She wasn't the first But it wasn't the worst time I was cheated out of love again Well, a few years later I'm in a rockin' band playing Every Friday and Saturday night Bass player says "that girl's giving you the eye" We must be doing something right So I sent her a drink And we played something slow So I could sing something sensitive She wound up dancing with some other guy And I was cheated out of love again There she goes, out the back way To a parking lot full of sin She found a man with a bed in his van And I was cheated out of love again Cheated out of love Cheated out of love again I finally found a girl that could rule my world Someone to spend the rest of my life I got a diamond ring and I promised her things And I took her to be my wife Imagine my surprise and the tears in my eyes When I was cheated out of love again I came home one night after a show And there's another man in my bed There I go, down the highway When will it ever end Will I finally find a girl that's mine Or be cheated out of love again?

So things aren't working out the way you wanted Welcome to the world of the broken hearted Like red to a bull you come out swinging Sweet Fanny Adams, can you hear me singing? Keep calm and carry on Well, everybody's got you by the short and curlies That's a load of bullshit, don't you worry Don't give a toss if you're on your last penny Keep your hair on, though you don't have many Keep calm and carry on Keep calm and carry on Follow these words and you can't go wrong Hold your head up high and feel your heart beat strong Keep calm and carry on Gobsmacked, paddy whacked Get up off your Prozac Fill your glass with vodka Raise your cup and tip your head back Keep calm and carry on Keep calm and carry on One of these days and it won't be long Everybody's going to be singing your song Keep calm and carry on Keep calm and carry on Follow these words and you can't go wrong Hold your head up high and feel your heart beat strong Keep calm and carry on

So it didn't last as long as the roses I sent And the sky hasn't stopped crying since you left You're not the kind of woman I can easily forget I guess that's why it's called falling in love So it wasn't even worth the salt in my tears To hope that you would put aside your fears Long enough that I could love you for a thousand years I guess that's why it's called falling in love And I'm falling faster faster faster Every moment I'm without you girl Seems I fall harder every time One of these days I'm afraid I might fall down for good And I might not get back up again this time So I wonder why she kept the roses I sent? I wish I'd know that the moment that we met That loving you would soon become something I might regret I guess that's why it's called falling in love And I'm falling faster faster faster Every moment I'm without you girl Seems I fall harder every time One of these days I'm afraid I might fall down for good And I might not get back up again this time So if you're gonna walk away I'll run And I'll never look back up into the sun Girl I'm gonna miss you 'till I set the sights on my gun I guess that's why it's called falling in love And I'm falling faster faster faster Every moment I'm without you girl Seems I fall harder every time One of these days I'm afraid I might fall down for good And I might not get back up again this time One of these days I'm afraid I might fall down for good And I might not get back up again this time It didn't last as long as the roses I sent

It was a hot mid summer Saturday night Back in 2009 When a pair of legs came walking in Carrying a tall blonde lookin' fine She had fire for lips and ice for eyes And a leather skirt creeping up her thighs Someone told me she was trouble in high heels From the minute the wind blew her in from the door Everybody turned to stare Every man salivating like Pavolov's Dog Every woman wanted to kill her right there Mitch Rider was right I could smell the Chanel Number 5 comin' on strong But she must have traded that blue dress in For a black leather push up bra Don't Look now You better watch out You better run for your life She's out to get ya Don't let her cat ya The devil's among us tonight Now I've seen her take many other forms Long painted tail cape and horns But this new look was one of the more effective that I've seen I knew she was after my soul at the time But that's not really what I had in mind That's not the kind of hell I wanted to raise If you know what I mean Don't Look now You better watch out You better run for your life She's out to get ya Don't let her cat ya The devil's among us tonight Well she tried just about every trick in the book I knew it wouldn't take much, the way she looked But I sent her empty handed to her home below Now I'm not trying to teach anyone right from wrong But every time I see her I sing this song So I can warn everybody not let her take them home Don't Look now You better watch out You better run for your life She's out to get ya Don't let her cat ya The devil's among us tonight

Pain 03:55
Pain Is who I am Someone you can feel but you can't see I'm every little place you thought you'd be I'm pain That's why I am The first thing you feel when you come alive And the very last thing just before you die First cousin of pleasure Sister named agony Come and let me seduce you Into my family Pain Is all you feel In the open cuts you made With a rusty razor blade I'm pain That's all I am Cross my heart and hope you die I'll stick a broken needle in your eye Let me introduce you To my little game Come and let me seduce you I'll hear you scream my name So you want to Know my name Let me introduce you To my friend pain Don't stop me now I'll rip the flesh right off your bones And leave you there to die alone I'm pain Come take my hand I'm gonna make you understand That I just don't give a damn Let me introduce you To my little game Come and let me seduce you I'll hear you scream my name So you want to Know my name Let me introduce you To my friend pain

You're the start and end of my frustration You're the source of all my aggravation There was a girl that I loved so long Now she's gone and all that's left is you You've been on my mind You, you've been buying time And you, well you're telling lies Can you tell me girl whatever happened to you? You and I have reached our destination You never needed an invitation You took my heart and left me alone Now all I have are these songs I wrote for you You've been on my mind You, you've been buying time And you, well you're telling lies Can you tell me, girl, whatever happened to you? Can you tell me why You treat me so unkind And you, well you've lost your mind Can you tell me, girl, whatever happened to you? Whatever happened to making all of our Delusions of grandeur come true If you see somebody that I know could you have someone call Let me know whatever happened to you You're the object of my fascination You say that it's all my imagination You never know what you wanna do You're wasting time now time is wasting you You've been on my mind You, you've been buying time And you, well you're telling lies Can you tell me, girl, whatever happened to you? Can you tell me why You treat me so unkind And you, well you've lost your mind Can you tell me, girl, whatever happened to you?

I've been watching you such a long time It didn't take much time to notice something's wrong Watching little people that no one else can see And humming to the melody of your very own song I've been quite convinced you've gone over the edge There's a screw or two that's loose inside your head It may have been, now and then, the little things I've said But I think it was my love that was the shove off the deep end You're off the deep end Your head was never on too tight anyway Now you're just a ward of the state on the 23rd floor Locked up behind a padded door Everyone thought you were crazy But now we're sure that you're off the deep end The doctors finally came to get you They should have been here when you tried to overdose I wish that I could hear that song you've been humming to Out of all the things you've lost I miss your mind the most You look quite beautiful in that plain white vest I'm sure you haven't noticed the sleeves are extra long Maybe one day, when the moon is full, I'll join you But as for now I think they've got you right where you belong You're off the deep end Your elevator never reached the highest floor Now all your marbles are gone and your life is a wreck One card short of a full deck Everyone thought you were crazy But now we're sure that you're off the deep end Your head was never on too tight anyway Now you're just a ward of the state on the 23rd floor Locked up behind a padded door Everyone thought you were crazy But now we're sure that you're off the deep end
