The Closer He Creeps
The Closer He Creeps
Rewrite of White Snake's The Deeper The Love
Always now she sneaks
Another glance back
Wondering when or if
Justice will ever be done
So many nights
She has cried
A river of fear's tears
For she knows
He lurks still somewhere out there
On the low
Somehow always about her
In the know
He awakens all
Her deepest and gravest fears
Chorus One
And when the sun goes down
Her heart and her flesh grow colder
Knowing anywhere, anytime
He could be there
Looking just over her shoulder
Chorus 2
Cause the closer he creeps
The more wicked grows
Mental emotion
Out of control
So strange and twisted his love
A most cruel master
His devious devotion
These are the darkest times
Trapped in an obsession
Won't let her go
Whenever she tries to break free
He is there to whisper
New terror in her ear
"Hey Baby"
"Come live my nightmares with me"
Chorus One
And when the sun goes down
Her heart and her flesh grow colder
Knowing anywhere, anytime
He could be there
Looking just over her shoulder
Chorus 2
Cause the closer he creeps
The more wicked grows
Mental emotion
Out of control
So strange and twisted his love
A most cruel master
His devious devotion
Losing her mind
No escape from he
Sanity slips her mind
Living Hell all she can see
Bye bye peace of mind
When you mean the world
To one as dark as he
Chorus One
And when the sun goes down
Her heart and her flesh grow colder
Knowing anywhere, anytime
He could be there
Looking just over her shoulder
Chorus 2
Cause the closer he creeps
The more wicked grows
Mental emotion
Out of control
So strange and twisted his love
A most cruel master
His devious devotion
