He drags his foot and he clutches his knife
As the people in the city wait in fear for their life
He's a maniac, heart attack, wired to kill
A cold blooded lunatic, hungry for a thrill

Love is the victim in the world gone bad
Hate is like nitro when you're stark raving mad
Electrocute, execute his evil is relentless
Repentless, senseless and you're defenseless

In the name of the father, in the name of the son
This unholy ghost has only just begun
Bless our souls when we take our last breath
Deliver us from evil in this valley of death

Shockdance, hey! Shockdance, hey!

Stone cold monster of the man
Half Jack the Ripper and a pinch of Son of Sam
Gashes, slashes, he's malicious and vicious
He's a killing machine and he never does the dishes

Once I'm inside you, I'm gonna smoke you
I'll choke you, ahh, he's gonna croak you
"Pinker the stinker" the headlines begin
The on-the-scene reporter says he's gonna do you in

He's a shocker, a rocker, he's Heavy Metal mean
Unjustifiable, combustible, his blood is kerosene
Throw away your guns, forget about your mace
'Cos now he's on TV, right in front of your face

Shockdance, hey! Shockdance, hey!

Listen up now
When I was born
I was born a bad seed
Everybody cut me down
Now I'm making them bleed

In the name of the father, in the name of the son
This unholy ghost has only just begun
Bless our souls when we take our last breath
Deliver us from evil in this valley of death

Shockdance, hey! Shockdance, hey!
Shockdance, hey! Shockdance, hey!
