He means "tomorrow" but says "in a bit" And doesn’t show up at all He sets his watch to a commet’s or-bit And remembers to forget to call
No courage for love, too scared to be happy No courage for love, too scared to be happy
I do... Don’t... I do... Don’t
"your place or mine" means heaven or hell, Two adresses somewhat apart His home’s dark and spikey, her’s clear as a bell, It’s over before they can start
No courage for love, too scared to be happy No courage for love, too scared to be happy
I do... Don’t... I do!... Don’t...
And tomorrow passed them by And tomorrow passed them by And tomorrow passed them by And tomorrow passed them by
Lala la lala lala Lala la lala lala Lala la lala lala Lala la lala lala!
There′s a ghost out in the hall There′s a ghoul beneath the bed Now it′s coming through the walls Now it′s coming up the stairs There′s a spirit in the dark Hear the beating of his heart Can you feel it in the air Ghosts be hiding everywhere
I′m gonna be Exactly what you came to see It′s you who′s taunting me Because you′re wanting me To be the stranger in the night
Am I amusing you Or just confusing me Am I the beast you visualized? And if you wanna see Eccentric oddities I′ll be grotesque before your eyes Let them all materialize
Chorus: Is that scary for you baby Am I scary for you, boy Is it scary for you, baby Is it scary for you You know the stranger is you Is it scary for you, baby
There′s a creaking in the floor There′s a creak behind the door There′s a rocking in the chair But nobody′s sitting there There′s a ghastly smell around But nobody to be found And a coffin′ inlay open Where a restless soul is pokin′
I′m gonna be exactly what you wanna see So did you come to me To see your fantasies Performed before your very eyes A haunting ghostly treat The ghoulish trickery And spirits dancing in the night But if you came to see The truth, the purity It′s here inside a lonely heart So let the performance start
Is that scary for you, baby Am I scary for you, boy Am I scary for you, baby Am I scary for you, boy So tell me Is that scary for you, baby Tell me, so tell me Is that realism for you, baby Am I scary for you baby You know the stranger is you Am I scary for you
Masquerade the heart To hide the hurting soul Just not what you see of me Can hardly reveal the proof Like the mirror reveals the truth See the evil one is you
Is that scary for you, baby Am I scary for you, boy Am I scary for you, baby Am I scary for you, boy So tell me Am I scary for you, baby Am I scary for you, boy Is it scary for you, baby Am I scary for you, boy
Wanna talk about it I wanna talk about it I don′t wanna talk about it Wanna talk about it
Am I scary for you baby Is that scary for you baby I′m tired of being abused You know you′re scaring me too I see the evil is you Is that scary for you, boy
[Willow:] Daddy can you tell me a story? [Will:] Oh you wanna hear a story? What kind of story you wanna hear baby? [Willow:] A scary story
Oh, ok Once upon a time there was a kid who wanted nothin′ more than to rhyme Almost like he was born in the rhyme He thought of his rhymes almost all of the time And he fought with his mom His school getting caught with his rhyme book And he knew he shouldn′t of took it there in the first place At least he shouldn′t of been sittin lookin there in her face with it Teacher told him get it out of her class Wicked witch, trick told him that′s probably why you won′t pass Now if you shy you won′t last but you′re new So underneath his breath before he left he said I′m a be richer then you What you say? She said What you mean? He said Boy don′t you play, she said What you mean? He said. Damnit Ten minutes later standin up in the principles office Getting handed the phone clammed up cause his father was talking And he was pissed he wasn′t listening to his son You testing me? You messin up again You done boy
[Chorus:] This is just a story about a young man comin up in the rap game A real scary story Went from rags to riches it has goblins in it haters and witches. Uh
[Chorus]
First thing he did was find somebody to give him some money He wasn′t stupid but wasn′t using his senses honey The guy′s he meant was a little shady, a little funny But they gave him the money so they played the record company It sounds silly but when he grew up in Philly rhymin wasn′t what it is today Deals wasn′t a dime a dozen Today every sister, uncle, or mom or cousin gotta record deal But for real it wasn′t like that then As you could imagine when he started risin to fame and fortune he was Havin Started antagonizing the guy′s he was with At the same time he started realizing The deal he got from them guys in his eyes didn′t fly with size of his hits He called a meeting to find a solution He said I′m gettin beat out of my loot And I′m not recording no more until we find a solution The dude′s said we found a solution its this .44 He ran for the door a little shaken But the next day he found a lawyer, told him the situation He said I′m breakin this contract for ya He said how much the lawyer said I′m a charge you a quarter cause I like you Just do me a favor Get your life in order
