A Scary Thing - By MC Eric B
========================

I stand in a field
and look up at the stars
has ever a love shined
as brightly as ours

The look in your eyes
the thrill of the chase
connected forever
through time and space

But is it enough?
How long will it last?
We look to the future
and run from our past

Chorus
=================================

Baby, love is a scary thing
catch my heart
as I cut the string

Be my rock
when I fall apart
hold my hand
darling, take my heart

=================================

I stand on the edge
it's a long way down
If life is a circus
then I am the clown

tumbling and tumbling
no safety net
lost in a moment
the night that we met

I see, yet I'm blinded
don't know what's ahead
all I want is you with me
when I climb into bed

Chorus
=================================

Baby, love is a scary thing
catch my heart
as I cut the string

Be my rock
when I fall apart
hold my hand
darling, take my heart

hold my hand
darling, take my heart

=================================

A Scary Thing by Lord of Oats

(Words j$, music LoO)

I've seen so many scary films these days it takes much more
Than just some lame FX to leave us howling at the moon
Yet most mundane of things can still consume us all with awe
And now one’s rising up like Creature from the Blue Lagoon

Want to hear a scary thing? I think that I’m in love -
And that’s a hairy, scary thing, worth being afraid of
The public quakes as monster wakes to beating of my heart
Send villagers with burning torch to tear this beast apart

I’ve read a lot of Stephen King, so please take it as read
That by itself a shocking twist won’t twist around my world
But world of ours, much darker than those dark arts that you dread,
Requires that to survive we all must find a Final Girl

Want to hear a scary thing? It’s you I love, I think,
A very scary thing, please someone call the army in
More nightmarish than Elm Street and more puzzling than Saw
This love makes me unsure I’m even human any more

I’ve heard a lot of scary songs and baby this ain’t one
Avowal of un-dying love is what I’m aiming for
But even so if I were you I’d turn around and run
‘Cos love is NC-17 -and may contain some gore

I just heard a scary thing - it seems you love me too -
You’re Tiffany, I’m Chucky - what’s a puppet gonna do?
The villagers are coming, girl, I see the burning fires
As the end approaches, disappear like Michael Myers.

Well, I did change one line a little bit.

So if you hate line 19, blame me.

a scary thing
(words/music - oddbod)
-----------------------------

its a scary thing
but I don't think you love me anymore
what the future brings
is more uncertain than it was before

I've noticed
we don't kiss
in the same way we did before we met
your remoteness
says its hopeless
but I'm not about to give up on you yet

its a scary thing
but some day soon the sky is gonna fall
clouds are gathering
you can't ignore the writing on the wall

I sense that
you hold back
when I ask if everything's okay
we don't laugh
you don't speak up on my behalf
it just feels like you're drifting away

(more or less repeat last bit)

A Scary Thing - Naked Philosophy

Hey, punk rocker! Whatcha got to hide?
All I want's your dignity, security, and pride
No one's gonna stop me, no one's got the guts
You're surrounded by strangers, who you gonna trust?

In a scary time, in a scary place
Nothing happened to us
Much later, we thought we were safe
And a scary thing happened to us

Hey punk rocker! Whatcha got to lose?
All we got between us is a difference in our views
You and your friend, whatcha gonna do?
You're out on the street and I'm coming after you

In a scary time, in a scary place
Nothing happened to us
Much later, we thought we were safe
And a scary thing happened to us

Hey punk rocker! Why you gotta run?
I'm just getting started, I'm just having fun
I know that this isn't your kind of town
But a scary thing is always going down

Everywhere I go I see you there
Seems like I can't get away from you
Drawing me in makin me want to do
Things I'm not sure I'm ready to do

Feel mixed and you're to blame
Cause I don't know where I'm going and that's a scary thing.

Temptin' me with those big ole eyes
And your sweet southern voice that calls me home
Can't you see I got a life out here
Can't you see I can't afford to roam

Don't think you're entirely to blame
But I don't know where we're goin and that's a scary thing.

know what you're doing when I watch you dance
know it's all part of a planned attack
I get a feelin when I take your hand
tonight there'll be no going back

I've only got my self to blame
I know what I'm doin and that's a scary thing

A Scary Thing
by The Berkeley Social Scene

Don't unlock the door
until the scratching subsides
it doesn't know we're in here
we're safe on the inside

Chorus:
So be wary
It's a scary thing
and it's creeping just out of sight
but you can feel it's breath
Now all that's left
is sitting and waiting
Cause you know
It's going to get you
When you least expect

There's blood on the walls
from mysterious signs
these significant patterns
play tricks on my mind

Chorus

dogs that howl in the night
windows are rattling
full moon is rising up in the sky

A chill in my bones
that won't let me be
a stirring of voices
from inside of me

Chorus

A Scary Thing - by Andrew Reist

Oh man, it's gonna go down tonight (yeah)
Your hand is hinting to me that you might

We all are running from our past
But we think it's too strong
And we're too scared to move
Yeah we're too scared to move

I know that I am to blame for this
You show emotion that you wish I'd miss

We all are running from our past
But we think it's too strong
And we're too scared to move
Yeah we're too scared to move

We all thought that would be the last
So we try to walk alone
But we're too scared to move
Yeah we're too scared to move

Hiding for so long
We've been trying to fix the wrong
We've been trying for so long
We've been trying to fix the wrong

We all are running from our past
But we think it's too strong
And we're too scared to move
Yeah we're too scared to move

We all thought that would be the last
So we try to walk along
But we're too scared to move
Yeah we're too scared to move

A Scary Thing - Paco del Stinko

His face is mottled - the hate unbottled
Fury unbridled - says he's entitled
Toothless with fangs - and silver bangs
A Janus head - he's under your bed
Don't let him push the button 'cause we'll all be dead

A scary thing

Face in the dirt - he says it doesn't hurt
Tells you it's fine - as he pulls out your spine

Erected with hate - on the shoulders of ignorance
Detested by fate - beholden to piss your pants
Shot down in flames - into a pink hotel
He brought the games - and all the rules that he won't tell

He laughs a cackle - to raise your hackles
Pulls off your skin - and climbs on in
Crocodile cry - from his waxy eye
His blood is green - tired and obscene
Pulls the baby from the teat before it even weens

Rone's comeback might be A Scary Thing

I am back to your ears
Bringing your eyes to tears
Yes it's your worst fears
It's the return of Rone

Here I come with my style
Haven't heard in a while
Please don't turn that dial
Or turn off this file

Got to get back in swing
Get my voice to ring
Then will come ching ching
With the money I'll bring

Third CD will be best
It will topple the rest
Hold it to your breast
It's a trip hop fest

Fear
Comes near
As I appear
It's a scary thing

Fear
Comes near
As I appear
It's a scary thing

I am back to your ears
Bringing your eyes to tears
Yes it's your worst fears
It's the return of Rone

A Scary Thing - Elaine DiMasi

they said that I was past my time for treats
why should I go out, trade candy on the streets
why should I even try why should I

coming back, candy apples, caramel candy on their peels
in my sack so full the way it feels
stay on track and don't look back on these deals

no scary thing for me tomorrow, no scary thing, no thing to scare
for some thing out there to scare you, first you have to care

open up it's time to have them please
razors in the apples - I bet they thought I wouldn't wanna use these
let's hear it for my apples, my razors in the apples, ahhhh

(you've gotta make it hit harder)

well I hope it's a stranger who will find me
find me tomorrow, I'll be a scary thing
finally I will be, I will be

no scary thing for me tomorrow, no scary thing, no scary thing,
no scary thing for me tomorrow, no anything
