I’ve been first and last  
Look at how the time goes past.  
But I’m all alone at last.  
Rolling home to you.

We search for the truth  
We could die upon the tooth  
But the thrill of just the chase is worth the pain  
We’ll know for the first time if we’re evil or divine  
We’re the last in line

And you say it’s just a movie  
Or just a book  
Giving in to those tiny glances  
Where we don’t want to look  
So you say you like the blues  
How about the pain that it took?

Oh, God, Marie, I’ve got no chance  
You simply cast that sidelong glance  
You scent the room with sly perfume  
And let your lovely fingers dance

Your lovely lingering fingernails  
A heartless trick, that never fails  
Some night you won’t get through to me  
Oh no, but not tonight, Marie

I can see her lyin’ back in her satin dress  
In a room where you do what you don’t confess  
Sundown you better take care  
If I find you been creepin’ ‘round my back stairs  
Sundown you better take care  
If I find you been creepin’ 'round my back stairs

I’m a Creeper  
Minecraft’s Grim Reaper  
Blowing up blocks like Al-Qaeda  
I’m not a creature that’ll eat ya  
But I’ll leave ya petrified, Peter!  
Reminds peeps of Minesweeper  
Clicking on a brick, then you die in the deep  
I’ll find your mine, I’m a mind reader  
Now the mine is mine, it’s finders keepers!

I am the eye in the sky  
Looking at you  
I can read your mind  
I am the maker of rules  
Dealing with fools  
I can cheat you blind  
And I don’t need to see any more  
To know that  
I can read your mind, I can read your mind

I am the god of hell fire and I bring you:

You fought hard and you saved and learned

Try to set the night on fire.

Yeah, the Dealer was a killer; he was evil and mean,  
And he was jealous of the fire in her eyes.  
He snorted his coke through a century note,  
And he swore that Boone would die.

That you’re just another jealous lover  
And it’s so tough to take  
That you’re making no mistake jealous lover  
Oh girl don’t want no other

You’d think that people would have had enough of silly love songs  
But I look around me and I see it isn’t so  
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs  
And what’s wrong with that?  
I’d like to know, 'cause here I go again

And as I was drifting past the Lorelei  
I heard those slinky sirens wail, whooo  
So look out sailor when you hear them croon  
You’ll never been the same again oh no  
Their crazy music drives you insane, this way

The radio is blastin’, someone’s knockin’ at the door  
I’m lookin’ at my girlfriend - she’s passed out on the floor  
I seen so many things I ain’t never seen before  
Don’t know what it is - I don’t wanna see no more
