  • Your mama is a werewolf with long, sharp teeth
    I'm up all night when the world should sleep
    I curse the darkness when it's killin' time
    I got a river of fear runnin' through my mind
    When the moon shines through those parting clouds
    I hear the call and I howl out loud
    I stalk the streets where the shadows lie
    And I pray to God that that sun will rise
    But that sun don't always rise

    If my good intentions go runnin' wild
    If I cause you pain, my own sweet child
    Won't you promise me you'll be the one?
    My silver bullet in the gun

    When I awaken and I'm reborn
    My body aches and my soul is torn
    I search the void for any clues
    And I feel ashamed for what I've put you through
    This curse a gift from my father's kin
    They fought the beast I feel within
    But we don't talk about it and we don't call its name
    We just carry on, hopin' it'll change
    But we know it'll never change

    If my good intentions go runnin' wild
    If I cause you pain, my own sweet child
    Won't you promise me you'll be the one?
    My silver bullet in the gun
    Would you strike me down right where I stand?
    Would you change me back, make me kind again?
    Won't you promise me you'll be the one?
    My silver bullet in the gun

    If my good intentions go runnin' wild
    If I cause you pain, my own sweet child
    Won't you promise me you'll be the one?
    My silver bullet in the gun
    Would you strike me down right where I stand?
    Would you change me back, make me kind again?
    Won't you promise me you'll be the one?
