Your eternal soul's enslavement

The dark desires you've been serving

I am the nightmare on the dark side of the moon

                                D

You all have such cozy little lives

How do you survive like that? I wish I knew

You're tired of feeling awful small

G                  F                              A

You feel you need them, your appetites

I'll help you feed them, I'll be your sweet radio

Don't forget your friend who waited

           F                
Watched as you endulged your thirst and

      F                                                 Gm
Did I mention that you're cursed?

I am the nightmare on the dark side of the moon

                                D

You lay your chips out on the table now

When you gamble souls, the house will always

G
win

                                 D              
I'm double dealing in betrayal and I'm here to cash my payout

                  Dm
I hope it was worth the life of sin

Gm                        D          
Welcome to my world, take a look around

G                                       Dm               
Inside your nightmare, deep beyond the mortal

G
veil

Em                 Dm               
You made a wrong turn at the crossroads

                              G                Em    D
Now you're at the final episode, eternity with me in Hell
[Outro]
F
Pleasure to play, how I enjoyed you

                                             D
Suffice to say when I play, I don't lose

                                                     F
Collect on the debts that you accrued

                                                     A
It was such a gas, I really am amused

                                          Dm
Have a dark thought, I'm right beside you

                D
A casual whisper just to guide you

           F
Look over your shoulder and I'm gone

              F
Remember this song and I bid you adieu
