- - - NEEDFUL THING - - -


There's a devil moon on the horizon
That sets this withered heart acanther
Something speaking deeply,  dementedly
Around the corner is the gravest danger

She knows what I'm thinking
Carried to her graveyard shift
Just to catch me on fire
Tragedy round the ledge
You will get what you give
And we all float down here
A little touch of rabies
Be my own Needful Thing

Addicted to her violence
Join me in a Danse Macabre
Love me, cruelly
My Needful Thing

Needful Thing
In those nightmares
And dreamscapes
Needful Thing
She walks behind
Ghastly rows
Needful Thing
Phantom within
Our tragedy
Your majesty
My heart desires
This Needful Thing

Dreadfully alluring full dark, no stars
Her secret window at four past midnight
Spy her watching from my secret garden
She is glowing with the grim tragic deadlights

Smell the Sematary
Salem's Lot to Duma Key
Under the summer thunder
With a touch of the dead
When the pussy from Hell
Mangles the things left behind
My misery is complete
Without my Needful Thing

I'm addicted to her malice
Suffer the little children
The Boogeyman comes
My Needful Thing

Needful Thing
In those nightmares
And dreamscapes
Needful Thing
She walks behind
Ghastly rows
Needful Thing
Phantom within
Our tragedy
Your majesty
My heart desires
This Needful Thing

She is my perverted little creepshow
Leading through the slaughter to that lurks below
"Sometimes human places, create inhuman monsters."
And "Sometimes dead is better."

Addicted to her violence
Join me in a Danse Macabre
Love me, cruelly
My Needful Thing

Needful Thing
In those nightmares
And dreamscapes
Needful Thing
She walks behind
Ghastly rows
Needful Thing
Phantom within
Our tragedy
Your majesty
My heart desires
This Needful Thing
