On the Avenue

On the Avenue - Stephen Egerton/Jesse Cole

Dead overnight

Lost in a dream

Wandering around the courtyard

Behind the willow tree

Back in the woods

Where I saw you watching me

Listen close now

I'll tell you what I've seen

Dark clouds fire smoke and gloom

Black faces filled the sky

Let me tell you how the nightmare started

'Bout things that go bump in the night

Please help me stop this game

Before I go insane

And tell me why the paper said

They found my body on the avenue dead

Voice from the room

Under the fireplace

Dark visions stain my memory

Blood on the pillowcase

Lights burning low

Back to the grave I go

Wall clock ticking is sickeningly slow

Dark clouds fire smoke and gloom

Black faces filled the sky

Let me tell you how the nightmare started

'Bout things that go bump in the night

Please help me stop this game

Before I go insane

And tell me why the paper said

They found my body on the avenue dead

Baby maybe I can make it till the dawn

I've been sleeping with the hall light on

Come lately lately I

I'm shaking all the time

No sleep I toss and turn

Burnin' on a Friday night

I know you're the devil by the venom in your bite

Dead overnight by the sanctuary

They found my long dead body

Face down lyin' in the street

Down in the dirt

Lucifer is waiting up for me

Hell's choir in the white hot fire

Can't you hear them sing

Dark clouds fire smoke and gloom

Black faces filled the sky

Let me tell you how the nightmare started

'Bout things that go bump in the night

Please help me stop this game

Before I go insane

And tell me why the paper said

They found my body on the avenue dead
