Fat red sun sets on a fingernail moon Don't know when, but you know it's coming soon Footsteps grinding on a gravel road The thing you fear is moving slow Ain't no use running, just stay one step ahead Moving slow and steady 'til the comfort of your bed It rises in your throat and your feet feel light as lead All that waits behind you is regret Now is not the time to beg forgiveness Or weep and wail for things that you have done It seeps into your daydreams and it wraps around your lungs Something wicked this way comes It's just the stuff of nightmares, so don't count on sleep tonight You don't know what it looks like, but you know it's gonna bite It smiles like a seductress, so go hide your firstborn sons The ink's still running But change is gonna come So pick your rotten cherries from your musty, magic book Wear your crown of fear, as if that's ever a good look The further you fall from grace the more it tends to hurt So you might as well get comfy with the dirt The world it creaks just like a rickety wheel The thing you claim to hate's the thing you crave to feel So mutter your prayers before the sun goes down Prepare to meet the witch you couldn't drown Now is not the time to beg forgiveness Or weep and wail for things that you have done It seeps into your daydreams and it wraps around your lungs Something wicked this way comes It's coming for your vanity. It's coming for your guns It's coming for your bigotry no matter where you run It sings like sweet idolatry and it sniffs out all your lies Irrelevant ideas all scream the loudest when they die It's just the stuff of nightmares, so don't count on sleep tonight You don't know what it looks like, but you know it's gonna bite It smiles like a seductress, so go hide your firstborn sons The ink's still running... The inks still running, but a change... Change is gonna come
