lyrics

You look so scared.
I think you know I know,
Or at least suspect,
That time is running out.

Oh, Mr. Demon.
You haven’t been eating children lately, have you?
Your horns are broken and your skin is turning pale.
That’s how I can tell.
I can see through your eyes and into your soul.

Chorus:
Because the city lights are oh, so bright
And we can’t have another sleepless night
And you don’t know, do you, don’t know, do you
That I can read your mind
Because the ropes are tied on oh, so tight
And we can’t start another losing fight
And you won’t know, will you, won’t know, will you
That you aren’t always right.

Don’t hide your face.
You know I always know
Your hiding place.
Where you go when you run away

Oh Mr. Demon.
You haven’t been stealing people’s souls, now, have you?
Your tail is drooping and your red eyes aren’t feared.
I’m sure it’s nice in hell.
But won’t you come back to keep me company?

Chorus

You don’t like being alone at night I’m told
The fire is gone and the joke is getting old
The cards were dealt to you and now it’s time to fold
Standing in the shadows, it gets cold (X2)

Chorus
