Fiends On Parade

"There's nothing to be afraid of..."
[C-Bb-A-Bb]
Vicki looks like an alien
With her new pair of boots
What happened to that nose ring
And blue hairdo
Better pull yourself together
Quit being a fool
Cause Felicia's in the graveyard
She's summoning ghouls
That's right
[Eb-F]
Because the fiends are on parade tonight
Because the fiends are on parade
[C-Bb-A-Bb]
Geri's in the kitchen
With the witches brew
And B.B.'s hit the pavement
Man, it's just like a zoo
And I've got my brand new pair
Of green sunglasses
Lookin' pretty cool
But I'm feeling so restless
[Eb-F]
Because the fiends are on parade tonight
Because the fiends are on parade
[C-Bb-A-G]
One, two, three
Loud knocks on your door
Do you shudder
Or do you answer
Four, five, six, seven
Join the Fiends in procession
C'mon, take your chances
Eight, nine, ten then
Go on invite a friend
If you won't go
Maybe they will
Maybe they will
[Eb-F]
Because the fiends are on parade tonight
Because the fiends are on parade tonight
Because the fiends are on parade
[A-G]

Playing With Danger
03:44
|

|
[Cm-Fm-G]
There's a black cat perched upon the gate howling at the moon
Down the road where nobody goes drawing out a tune
Hear a voice that's stirring on the wind moving through you
There's a black cat perched upon the gate amber eyes untrue
[G-Ab]
She's playing with danger
Breaking all the rules
She's playing with danger
Summoning ghouls
She's playing with danger
Tying the hangman's noose
She's playing with danger
She don't know what she's doing
[Cm-Fm-G]
See a black coat standing at the crossroads waiting for you
His left hand pointing out the path calling you to choose
Hear the voices crawling through the leaves speaking through you
There's a black cat perched upon the gate amber eyes untrue
[G-Ab]
She's playing with danger
Breaking all the rules
She's playing with danger
Summoning ghouls
She's playing with danger
Tying the hangman's noose
She's playing with danger
She don't know what she's doing
[Repeat]
"It was said she was possessed by witches"
"Spirits from the other world...."

Three Witches
02:33
|
|||
|
"Witchcraft, black magic, sorcery -- to me it's nothing but fairy tale mumbo jumbo!"
[E-G7]
[C-A]
*Riff*
Through the fog and filthy air
Stand three phantoms in the night
They set upon us with a glare
And all around them candles light
[C-A]
See THREE WITCHES in the night! x3
*Riff*
Howlin' winds and sailor's thumbs
They're pourin' out another one
Priests of hellfire beating drums
These witches want to have their fun
[C-A]
See THREE WITCHES in the night! x3
*SOLO*
[C-A]
See THREE WITCHES in the night! x6

Tricks of the Night
03:08
|
|||
|
[G-Bb]
Have these three witches drank with the thieves
Tango'd with sailors on shore leave
'Cause I've been locked up and swallowed the key
I've lived through things that you just wouldn't believe
TRICKS OF THE NIGHT!
[G-C7-A-C]
[G-Bb]
I've courted monsters out for my blood
I've shared my bed and I found no love
But I've tasted hunger down in the mud
I wanted out before my life had begun
TRICKS OF THE NIGHT!
[G-C7-A-C]
[G-Bb]
I've met some tricksters and saw through their lies
I woke up the next day and I rubbed my eyes
I suffered through arrows and wanted to die
I've beared the whips and the scorns of time
TRICKS OF THE NIGHT!
[G-C7-A-C]

B-Movie Brain
02:00
|

|
[E-C-G-A]
Victoria's got a B-MOVIE BRAIN
She's got green-tinted vision that'll keep you away
That girl she's got monsters in the kitchen
Monsters that'll pitch in when she's swirlin' the drain
Look out
Don't twist and shout
She drank that blue liquid mixture, baby
Without a doubt
Psych out!
[E-C7 | A7]
[E-C | A7]
B-MOVIE BRAIN!
She's got a B-MOVIE BRAIN x2
Look out!
~Repeat whole song~

Blood Moon
02:02
|
|||
|
[B-A-F#-G | E-G]
I can keep a secret, rope off the deed
Under the streetlight by the cemetery
A kiss in the moonlight, a kiss in the rain
I won't tell your lover if you promise the same
[F#-G]
But it's the wrong night to be out at all
It's the BLOOD MOON, baby, during a dismal fall
[B-A-F#-G | E-G]
Something's underfoot, there's a stench in the air
Rustlin' in the bushes don't stop and stare
[F#-G]
'Cause it's the wrong night to be seeking thrills
It's the BLOOD MOON, baby, and I'm out to kill
[E-G | B-A-E | G]
[B-A-F#-G | E-G]
Sleeping alone after I tear you apart
Flesh and bones dumped in a nameless plot
[F#-G]
'Cause it's the wrong night to be seeking thrills
It's the BLOOD MOON, baby, and I'm out to kill
"And the girl was strange. She had a very hard look in her eye."

Foot in the Grave
02:15
|
|||
|
[G-C-Ab-G]
I was born with a FOOT IN THE GRAVE, every day has higher stakes
Will I know, who will tell me when the end has come for me
I don't have a soul to save so I worry how my time is spent
Empty cans and shallow plans seems like a dead end waste
[Ab-Bb]
But it's hard to find my own way when everyone tells me who I am
[G-C-Ab-G]
I was born with a FOOT IN THE GRAVE, there's no time to make mistakes
All the grief that I carry needs a healthier release
Your way of life stopped making sense, you can miss me with that empty path
I won't get to get what I'm after, 'cause I know that nothing lasts
[Ab-Bb]
But it's hard to find my own way when everyone tells me who I am
[G-C-Ab-G]

Carnaval

"Widespread investigation of reports from funeral homes, morgues, and hospitals has concluded that the unburied dead are coming back to life and seeking human victims."
*INSTRUMENTAL*
"Five innocent people killed. Not a sign of a human."
"I can't believe it!"

Hounds
02:37
|
|||
|
[Cm-G-Ab-Bb]
Lost on this ride without escape
Your funhouse moment of ecstasy
You flood me with sorrow, flood me with pain
Bound within your riptide straits
Where do I go? How do I leave now?
Outside this carnival they're waiting....
[Ab-G-Cm-Cm7 | Fm-Cm-G-Cm]
HOUNDS are on the trail of what's left of me
Feasting on this fleeting youth of mine
[G-Ab]
[Cm-G-Ab-Bb]
We've gone to hell, I'll push on through
A month or a moment it's all the same
So spill your secrets, break your spells
Before we're dust and bones
The dead can't speak, but you still have a voice
So call off your....
[Ab-G-Cm-Cm7 | Fm-Cm-G-Cm]
HOUNDS are on the trail of what's left of me
Feasting on this fleeting youth of mine

Between Two Bridges
03:21
|
|||
|
The orchard blackens
Wilts on her chest with a grin
Burns her heart on a rock
And rains ashes through the streets
Breaking spells that held us in a serpent's leash
Between two bridges
Coarse and bleak
I'm not one to believe
But I've seen into her eyes
I've seen where she's been
Clutching vampire's teeth and carrion beaks
I though it was thunder
Dogs starts to howl
She was lonely just like me and left
Like a stranger in a downpour of regret
Now the trees are covered in ash
Bones are in the flower beds
And shadows
Scurry about the streets
Sicklied over and meek
Inheriting nothing
No kingdom, no beast
Maybe she'll appear like a ghost
Haunting everyone
Just a whisper through our spine,
Or in the corner of our eyes
She'll dance around the living room
Invite angels in to hold you
Until midnight bells are ringing
And it's time to take her leave again
Her presence will linger
Long after goodbye
And now we draw the curtains
Under starless skies
On the lonesome fools still on parade through
The riddle of the night
