this is the way nightmares begin,
or.....perhaps end.

step right up and follow me
something wicked this way please
join our caravan of sores
pimps prostitutes thieves and whores
to a carnival of sleaze
sickness suffering and disease
have no fear this ain't no dream
nothing starts until you scream.

floating in the foul air breeze
something wicked this way please
to complete your conversion
a baptism of perversion
eat the bread of wickedness
drink the wine of violence
a communion for the gross
father son and holy ghost.

come for the scare
come for the dare
come without fear
you're safe in here
come for the scare
come if you dare
you can trust me
something wicked this way please.

from dark sleep you will awaken
when your ticket has been taken
this train screams an evil song
worry not it won't be long
hands will fly from empty space
you will never leave this place,
hello! you run - bang! you fall
but wait...that's not all!
welcome to the other side
our midnite train terror ride
there's no need to be afraid
it was meant to be this way
the melting walls will come undone
now we're going to have some fun
eat the worm that makes you turn
ladies and gentlemen this place must burn!

come for the scare
come for the dare
come without fear
you're safe in here
come for the scare
come if you dare
you can trust me
something wicked this way please.
