I watch you through my window
As you sit there on your throne,
That arrogant expression on your face.
And I think, if I could have you
For one second, here, alone,
I'd find a way to put you in your place.
'Cause you've been messin' around with my mind
But now it's my turn, yeah, now it's my time
I'm tired of waiting for my chance
I'm taking what is mine!
(Chorus)
I wanna hear you scream
I wanna see you bleed
I wanna wrap my hands around that pretty neck and squeeze
If I could make you cry
I swear that I could fly
If it's not clear I wish that you would
Close the door and stay with me tonight
There was always such a pleasure
In the power of command,
And your impotent resentment fueled the flame.
And now that you can't touch me
For the world is in my hand,
I wonder how you'll find our little game.
I know you think that you've already won,
But soon you will find the war's just begun
When you're begging mercy at my feet
It's then you'll know I'm done
(Chorus)
I wanna hear you scream
I wanna see you bleed
I wanna shove you down and see you crawlin' on your knees
And if I could make you cry
I swear that I could fly
If it's not clear I wish that you would
Close the door and stay with me tonight
[guitar solo]
I watch you through my window
(There was always such a pleasure)
As you sit there on your throne
(In the power of command)
That arrogant expression on your face
(And your impotent resentment fueled the flame)
And I think if I could have you
(And now that you can't touch me)
For one second here alone
(For the world is in my hand)
I'd find a way to put you in your place
(I wonder how you'd find our little game)
There's a deep, undeniable thrill
'Cause when we collide, yeah, blood's gonna spill
The time has passed for holding back
I'm going for the kill
(Chorus)
I wanna hear you scream
I wanna see you bleed
I wanna shove you down and see you crawlin' on your knees
And if I could make you cry
I swear that I could fly
If it's not clear I wish that you would
Close the door and stay with me tonight
(Chorus)
I wanna hear you scream
I wanna see you bleed
I wanna shove you down and see you crawlin' on your knees
And if I could make you cry
I swear that I could fly
If it's not clear I wish that you would
Close the door
Close the door
(Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah)
Close the door and stay
