lyrics

Savage mothers eat their children up
They cut them down to the bone
Kids get revenge with poison pens
And daddy's in the twilight zone
Happy families are all the same
They bore themselves to tears
So tell me a story that's grim and gory
Tell me about your fears

There's blood dripping down the horizon
There's a crow perched on top of the moon
Talons filled with dollar bills
And it's singing an ancient tune
That's the kind of thing that makes me grin
When my teeth are falling out
So tell me a tale that'll make me wail
Make me scream and shout

The dark at the top of the stairs
The storm cloud behind your eyes
The rain that will never end
The sun that will never rise
Rise

The dark at the top of the stairs
The storm cloud behind your eyes
The rain that will never end
The sun that will never rise
Rise
