lyrics

As I stood among the gravestones/
Mojo clutched into my fist
Hellhounds howled in the distance/
Lonesome sound I can’t resist
I got a funny feelin’/ Chilled me right down to the bone
Though I didn’t see nobody/ knew I wasn’t there alone
Bolt the door/ check the locks
Something wicked this way rocks
Something wicked this way rocks

Full moon shone a little brighter/
Smell of sulfur filled the air
And then suddenly I saw her/
Burnin’ eyes/ Silent stare
The stranger beckoned to me/
as the stroke of midnight neared
Fear welled up inside me/ the gates of Hell appeared
Bolt the door/ check the locks
Something wicked this way rocks
Something wicked this way rocks


BRIDGE
When you were young/ they tried to tell you
The shadows you saw
were just things in your head
But what if they’re wrong/ and you’re right/
and they’re out there
And there is something under your bed

GUITAR SOLO (over verse)

Paint some hex signs on the doorway
Scatter potions to the wind
Mumble ancient incantations/
Say a prayer for those who’ve sinned
Don’t fear for my salvation/
the time for that has passed
You must face the realization/ the die’s already cast
Bolt the door/ check the locks
Something wicked this way rocks
Something wicked this way rocks
Something wicked this way rocks

Something wicked
Something wicked
Something wicked
