This is either a Halloween fantasy or an episode of daytime talk TV.

lyrics

I’m in love with a girl who doesn’t know it yet
oh but she’s gonna find out soon
there’s a chill in the air, there’s a storm on the way
and the clouds cover up the moon

she’ll be sitting alone with a book and the cat
she’ll be drinking a glass of wine
I go out of my mind when I see her like that
and I need to go make her mine

I’ve been bathed I’ve been shaved and I’ve started to dress
as I practice my heartfelt lines
I can get to her house in eight minutes or less
cause I clocked it now seventeen times
heading out of my lair I go over my list
I’ve got all of the tools I need
Every detail is planned not a thing have I missed
there’s no doubt that I will succeed

I’ve been waiting for weeks for a moment like this
she can eat up the distance from boredom to bliss
I’ll be laying it all on the line to confess
that I loved her the moment we met
when people say love is strange my friend
they don’t know just how strange it can get

leave the car up the street and I’ll walk from here
cause it’s easy to get away fast
if she turns me away I would die today
but I know we can make it last

now I’m back on her lawn in the dark by the trees
just preparing my message of love
And in one minute more I’ll be outside her door
in my hoodie my mask and my gloves

Chorus

she’s got soft music on and she’s wearing a gown
and the candles encircle the room
she looks beautiful now and I barely can wait
from this window I smell her perfume
now she’s turning her back and the moment is here
as I softly slip over the sill
as she tosses her hair she is still unaware
that tonight I will go for the kill

then she turns and I’m there but before she can scream
there’s a ring on her phone and it feels like a dream
when she passes me by and she heads down the hall
and says ‘wait a sec hon, I’m expecting this call’
then she’s gone for an hour till I knock on her door and say
"please tell your mom don’t call Fridays no more."

I’d been waiting all week now the moment’s been missed
I went above and beyond to keep the marital bliss
even brushed and I flossed to taste good when we kissed
I played my part to the hilt I got a right to be pissed

Well at least it’s my turn to choose next week’s game
and I plan on including the pet
when people say love is strange my friend
they don’t know just how strange it can get
