LYRICS:
I can feel you, I can hear you, howling in my bones
There’s an evil lurking in the dark (there’s an evil lurkin’ in the dark)
Ever shifting, skin is ripping, as you take control
I can’t tell where you end and where I start (there’s an evil lurkin’ in the dark)
A ferocious diagnosis, under moonlit hands
Will the man become the monster or the monster become man?
I could be up all night, but I’m paralyzed when the creature comes alive
Cause it’s fight or fright, in the full moonlight, you can run but you can’t hide
I could be honest, I could be human
I could become the silver bullet in your head
But no one can break my heart like I can
Werewolf
Bleed the neon from the bite marks, ever bittersweet
Smile for the camera but don’t flash your teeth (everybody loves a mystery)
Let the bodies hit the dance floor to this heart-break-beat
I feel like “somebody’s watchin me” (feels like everybody’s watchin me)
Seductively destructive, we are true romance
Does the man become the monster or the monster become man?
I could be up all night, but I’m paralyzed when the creature comes alive
Cause it’s fight or fright, in the full moonlight, you can run but you can’t hide
I could be honest, I could be human
I could become the silver bullet in your head
But you can’t break my heart like I can
Can’t fight these cravings in the night
A beast whose burdened by his bite
Can’t fight these cravings in the night
You can’t break my heart like I can
Can’t fight these cravings in the night
Moonwalking feed the appetite
Can’t fight these cravings in the night
You can’t break my heart like I can
And in the pale moonlight, a debt to be paid
For one must suffer for all eternity
Nothing lasts forever, even guilty pleasures
I could be up all night, but I’m paralyzed when the creature comes alive
Don’t wanna feel
I could be honest, I could be human
I could become the silver bullet in your head
No you can’t break my heart like I can
Werewolf
