Maniac
G.B.H. · Race Against Time: Clay Years [2007]
When you're long gone.
Fever burning,
Stomach churning he can take you on.
Maniac,
He's a maniac
And he's on the loose.
A wild eyed maniac seeks you out,
He wanted some revenge.
A man obsessed,
A man possessed he'll get you in the end.
Maniac,
He's a maniac
And he's on the loose.
Your face will turn a ghostly white
As he comes into view.
To slice you up is not enough,
He must disfigure you.
Maniac,
He's a maniac
And he's on the loose.
He can read all your thoughts
So don't run for cover.
There's aftermath in his path,
He's gonna maim another.
Maniac,
He's a maniac
And he's on the loose.
Maniac
