"Let The Right One Slip In (Long Mix)"

Let the right one in
Let the old dreams die
Let the wrong ones go
They cannot
They cannot

They cannot do what you want them to
Ooh-oh-ho, oh-ho...

Let the right one in
Let the old dreams die
Let the wrong ones go
They cannot
They cannot

They cannot see what you want them to
Oh-ho-ho, oh-ho...

Let the right one in
Let the old games fade
Put the tricks and schemes
For good, away

I will advise
Until my mouth dries
I will advise you to...

To let the right one
Slip in
Slip in
Slip in

And when, at last, it does
I'd say you were within your rights
To bite
The right one and say
"What kept you so long?"
"What kept you so long?"

[ad-libs until end]
