Closer

The tale of two lovers who went out on a summer night
To serenade their senses in delight
Strollin' down the river on the western bank
Stars were bright, moon was red
Stepped inside a boathouse where the nightmare came alive
Cos suddenly from out of the darkness something said:

Come a little bit closer
Take a look in my eyes
Jump in the fire
Get scrutinised

Come a little bit closer
You got something to show
Just a jump in the fire
Cos I know that you know that I know

We had the ribcage rock on repeat that fatal night
Made it up the hill start runnin' towards the light
Racing down the pavement to the night café
When they heard the familiar sound
That went: paddling, clicking, stalking just out of sight
It came lurking, rumbling, crawling upon the ground

So come a little bit closer
Take a look in my eyes
Jump in the fire
Get scrutinised

Come a little bit closer
You got something to show
Just a jump in the fire
Cos I know that you know that I know

So perhaps there's no tomorrow after all
But the Sergeant at the drive-in heard the call
With that killing machine we'll certainly have a ball...

So come a little bit closer
Take a look in my eyes
Jump in the fire
Get scrutinised

Come a little bit closer
You got something to show
Just a jump in the fire
Cos I know that you know that I know
that you know that I know
