Lyrics
There's a ghost out in the hall
There's a ghoul beneath the bed
Now it's coming through the walls
Now it's coming down the stairs
There's a screaming in the dark
Hear the beating of a heart
Can you feel it in the air?
Ghosts be hiding everywhere
I'm going to be
Exactly what you want to see
It's you whose haunting me
You're wanting me
To be the stranger in your life
Am I amusing you
Or just confusing you?
Am I the beast you visualized?
And if you want to to see eccentrialities
I'll be grotesque before your eyes
Let them all materialize
Is that scary for you, baby?
Am I scary for you, oh?
Is it scary for you, baby?
Is it scary for you?
You know the stranger is you
Is it scary for you, baby?
Ooh, yeah
There's a creak beneath the floor
There's a creep behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But nobody sitting there
There's a ghastly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coughing and a yawning
Where restless souls spoke
I'm going to be
Exactly what you gonna to see
So did you come to me
To see your fantasies
Performed before your very eyes?
A haunting ghostly treat
A foolish trickery
And spirits dancing in the light
But if you came to see
The truth, the purity
It's here inside a lonely heart
So, let the performance start
Is that scary for you, baby?
Am I scary for you, oh?
Am I scary for you, baby?
Am I scary for you, oh?
So, tell me is it scary for you, baby?
Tell me, woo
So, tell me is it crazy for you, baby?
Am I scary for you?
You know the stranger is you
Am I scary for you?
Masquerade the heart
Is the height of hurting souls
Just not what you seek of me
Can the heart reveal the proof
Like a mirror reveals the truth?
See the evil one is you
Is that scary for you, baby, yeah?
Am I scary for you, oh boy?
Am I scary for you, baby?
Am I scary for you, oh?
So, tell me am I scary for you, baby?
(Woo, woo, woo)
Am I scary for you, baby?
(Woo, woo, woo)
Is it scary for you, baby?
(Woo, woo, woo)
Am I scary for you, oh?
(Woo, woo, woo)
Don't want to talk about it
Don't want to talk about it
(So, goodbye)
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to talk about it
(Woo, woo, woo)
Am I scary for you, baby?
(Woo, woo)
Am I scary for you?
I'm tired of being abused
You know you're scaring me too
I see the evil is you
Is it scary for you, baby, oh?
Ooh, yeah
