BILLY IDOL LYRICS - Body Snatcher

"Body Snatcher"



Full moon glow

Steals the light

When headless horsemen ride

In the distance hellhounds cry

And banshee wails arise

Turn your fear into fantasy

Concealing all the pain

You the victim of perfection

The dark side gets its way

The dark side gets its way



Ain't no use singing the blues

Ain't to one finding no clues

And you can't walk away

No stopping, no escape



Tired eyes you cannot fight

The body snatcher comes tonight

Wired mind embraced the sight

The body snatcher comes tonight



Creeping shadows cross the walls

What are they trying to say?

Lucy Love died in this place

I've come to take you away

Turn the spirit when you sleep

And leave an empty space

I'm the demon of destruction

The gods have now been swayed

The gods have now been swayed



Ain't no use singing the blues

Ain't no one finding no clues

And you can't walk away

No stopping, no escape



Tired eyes you cannot fight

The body snatcher comes tonight

Wired mind embraced the sight

The body snatcher comes tonight



Well you cannot run you cannot hide

'Cos evil has its dark design

You cannot run you cannot hide

'Cos evil has its dark design



I have reason to believe

There's power in the signs

Look she turns ghostly grey

The dark one has arrived



Tired eyes you cannot fight

The body snatcher comes tonight

Wired mind embraced the sight

The body snatcher comes tonight



Well you cannot run you cannot hide

'Cos evil has its dark design



The body snatcher comes tonight

Yeah yeah yeah



Yeah you cannot run you cannot hide



Cos evil has its dark design



The body snatcher comes tonight



Ain't to use singing the blues

Ain't no one finding no clues

And you can't walk away

No stopping, no escape
