"One Good Scare" lyrics

Night was coming again
She begged me not to go
So I ran into the crimson wind
It slammed the open door
I turned my head into the dark
And she was floating down the stairs
And no one's ever seen me again

'Cause it took one
One good scare
And that was my chance to leave
And then she said
All my dreams will fade to grey
Yeah, it only took one
One good scare
One bad mistake

Who loves the sun
When your body feels so cold?
And when the portraits and the mirrors
In the hall all remind you that you're old
And through her labyrinth candle lit macabre
I lurk and dream of my escape
But I'll never do that again

It only took one
One good scare
And then there she was next to me
Made a bloody good mess of me
And I woke with a hunger for days
It only took one
One good scare
And one bad mistake
Yeah, it only took one
One good scare
And one bad mistake
