Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah
Follow me
Come with me to the dark side of the force
No man would boldly go to this place
The devil only knows of this world
So dark and oh, so cold
It's, oh, so cold
Oh, so cold, oh
[Verse 2]
Soon as my flow starts, I compose art like the ghost of Mozart
Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't
Boy, you think you're clever, don't ya?
Girl, you think you're so smart
Come with me to another side, in a world so cold and so dark
[Verse 3]
(Stay wide awake)
A world so dark, a world so cold
A world where only some will go
(Stay wide awake)
But none return, when will they learn?
Where do they go? God only knows
(Stay wide awake)
[Verse 4]
Fee-fi-fo-fum, I think I smell the scent of a placenta
I enter Central Park, it's dark, it's winter in December
I see my target, put my car in park, and approach her tender
Young girl by the name of Brenda, and I pretend to befriend her
Sit down beside her like a spider, hi there girl, you mighta
Heard of me before, see whore, you're the kind of girl that I'd
Assault and rape, then figure why not try to make your pussy wider?
Fuck you with an umbrella, then open it up while the shit's inside ya
I'm the kind of guy that's mild, but I might flip and get a little bit wilder
Impregnate a lesbian, yeah, now let's see her have triplets
And I'll disintegrate them babies as soon as they're out her
With formaldehyde and cyanide
Girl, you can try and hide, you can try to scream louder
No need for no gunpowder, that only takes all the fun out of
Murderin', I'd rather go vin-vin, and now you see just how the
Fuck I do just what I do when I cut right through ya scalp, uh
Shit, wait a minute, I mean skull
My knife seems dull, pull another one out, uh
[Verse 5]
Soon as my flow starts, I compose art like the ghost of Mozart
Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't
Boy, you think you're clever, don't ya?
Girl, you think you're so smart
Come with me to another side, in a world so cold and so dark
[Verse 6]
(Stay wide awake)
A world so dark, a world so cold
A world where only some will go
(Stay wide awake)
But none return, when will they learn?
Where do they go? God only knows
(Stay wide awake)
[Verse 7]
So dark and so cold, my friends don't know this other side of me
There's a monster inside of me, it's quite ugly and it frightens me
But they can't see what I can see, there's a vacancy in my tummy
It's makin' me play hide-and-seek like Jason, I'm so hungry
She's naked, see? No privacy, but I can see she wants me
So patient, see? I try to be, but gee, why does she taunt me?
Pull the drapes and she goes right to sleep
And I creep right through the front, see?
So blatantly, but silently, 'cause I know that she's sound asleep
Who's wakin' me so violently and why's he on top of me?
"He's rapin' me," she tries to scream
"Somebody please get him off me
He's tapin' me, he's bitin' me, he's laughing like it's funny"
She's scrapin' me, she's fightin' me
She's scratching like some dumb freak
Escapin' me, no dice, you see, I might just be Ted Bundy
Or Satan, gee, what a sight to see, I'm dancing in my red panties
I'm crazy, but it's alright with me, man, life can be so empty
Stay away from me, 'cause I'm dancing to quite a different drum beat
[Verse 8]
Soon as my flow starts, I compose art like the ghost of Mozart
Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't
Boy, you think you're clever, don't ya?
Girl, you think you're so smart
Come with me to another side, in a world so cold and so dark
[Verse 9]
(Stay wide awake)
A world so dark, a world so cold
A world where only some will go
(Stay wide awake)
But none return, when will they learn?
Where do they go? God only knows
(Stay wide awake)
[Verse 10]
Better try to stay wide awake
Or you might end up found dead by the lake
Soon as you lay me down to sleep, bitch, your soul I'ma try to take
Pray for light of day right away, why do they try to fight today?
I must make them pay twice as much, might as well put the knife away
Now I use power tools, how 'bout now, are you in the shower?
Scour you for six hours till outage of power outlets
How did you figure out I was down in your basement?
Now ya musta just heard the sound of my stomach
Growlin' from down there, prowler, there's no one fouler
Bound ya, that's how they found ya
Face down in the tub, I drown ya with piles of downers around ya
Such nostalgia and power, such prowess, look how ya cower
Jump out on you now like I was a Jawa from fuckin' "Star Wars"
Jabba the Hutt, beddy-bye-bye, beddy-bye-bye, it's time to die-die
Ought to not even bother to scream, it don't even matter
Amazing when grazing skin with these razor blades, he waves at ya
Not your everyday Damien, bathe me in holy water
Nothing like Son of Sam, so please understand there's no gun in hand
Where's the thrill in the hunt?
There's no fun in that, here I come with axe
Fun to act like lumberjack when I'm hackin' 'em up with that
What was that? Dial 911, someone's comin' in from the back
[Verse 11]
Soon as my flow starts, I compose art like the ghost of Mozart
Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't
Boy, you think you're clever, don't ya?
Girl, you think you're so smart
Come with me to another side, in a world so cold and so dark
[Verse 12]
(Stay wide awake)
A world so dark, a world so cold
A world where only some will go
(Stay wide awake)
But none return, when will they learn?
Where do they go? God only knows
(Stay wide awake)
