 I'm  scared, I swear of you-uuuuuuuu
 
 
 In  a tunnel,  in the darkness, darkest shade of blue
 There's beasts, and there's men
 and something on this earth
 that comes back again.
 Alpha, beta, gamma, ...everybody smoke
 Well you can't say, that my soul has gone away
 Well you can't say, that my soul has gone away
 No, you can't say, that my soul has gone away
 Well, this trouble in the house,
 trouble on the stairs
 Trouble in the trouble,
 that trouble in the air
 Well, please don't say (repeat in second voice)
 That my soul has died away
 There is a house in New Orleans
 Not the one you heard about
 I'm talking 'bout another house
 They spoke of gold in the cellar
 That a spanish gentleman had left
 I broke in one hundred years ago
 With a dagger tucked in my vest
 Legends ago, that I tried to hold
 The grey half lie of the hole at night
 One, two, three four five
 Well we're trapped inside the song
 ....
 Well we're trapped inside the song
 trapped inside the song
 trapped inside the song
 and the nights are so long
