SCARY TOWN
listen

What are you prepared to do to escape this nightmare
This spinning, swirling, spiral dance
This ancient, irresistible trance
Will you embrace me
Will you stay close at hand
We're both strangers in a godforsaken land
The lady, before she disappeared into the mist
She gave us a warning, remember? It goes like this
America is a scary town to get lost in

After the torture we endured, the truth we had to fight
I refuse to let you fall prey to these creatures of the night
Yet you look so longingly into the sky
Do you wish to bid me goodbye, after I protected you
Throughout our journey, am I of no more use to you
You must know the way out of the wilderness by now
America is a scary town to get lost in

What's happened to you your flesh is now a pale color
Why do you hide your smile like a delicate flower
Do you not trust me, would you rather be alone
This darkness in you it chills me to the bone
If you go out there I won't follow you
I'm warning you
Your eyes, fierce, a volcano, a circle of fire
An inferno
America is a scary town to get lost in

This chaos, it surrounds us, our demons possess the night
You were the jewel in my crown, you were the light
But I see that I have no control over you
Your eyes, though sad in complexion
Now possess a certain style, a crimson perfection
I'm frightened by your intensity, your stare
I'm lost in your eyes
America is a scary town to get lost in

Well go if you must I can't stop you
I can only sit here in the dark, mourning your soul
You have escaped our cauldron of fear
Now you are one of them, a hunter, yet you're still dear
to my heart, though I'm afraid to join you
I want to join you, believe me
But the mist surrounds you now
You've become one incapable of death
America is a scary town to get lost in
