Lyrics:



Honey it^Òs getting close to midnight

and all the myths are still in town

True love and lipstick on your linen

Bite the pillow make no sound

If there^Òs some living to be done

Before your life becomes your tomb

You^Òd better know I^Òm the one

So unchain the backdoor invite me door



Chorus:

Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter

Let her go, let her go, let her go



Honey it^Òs getting close to daybreak

The sun is creeping in the sky

No patent remedies for heartache

Just empty words and humble pie

So get down on your knees honey

Assume an attitude

You just pray that I^Òll be waiting

Cos you know I^Òm coming soon



Chorus



So pick up your foolish pride, no going back

No where, no way, no place to hide



Bring your daughter,

fetch your daughter to the slaughter.



Chorus
