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 defenless



In the name of the fater, in the name of the son

This unholy ghost has only just begun

Bless our souls when we take a 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, 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. Im gonna smoke you,

I'll choke you, he's gonna croak you

"Pinker the stinker" the headlines begin

The on the scene reporter says he's gonna do you in



In the name of the fater, in the name of the son

This unholy ghost has only just begun

Bless our souls when we take a last breath

Deliver us from evil in this valley of death



He's a shocker, a rocker. he's a heavy metal mean

unjustifiable, combustible his blood is kerosene

Throw away your guns, forget about mace

'cos now he's on TV, right in front of your face



Shockdance, hey! Shockdance, hey!



When I was born

I was born a bad seed

Everybody cut me down

Now I'm making them bleed
