Demon is up in the attic to the left
My eye turns to the left to say no
You said first I am a special one
I never hammered my mind out

I never have the bloody hammer
I never have the bloody hammer
I never have the bloody hammer
I never have the bloody
I never have the bloody
I never have the bloody hammer

I am the doctor
I am the psychiatrist
To make sure they don't think
That they'd hammer their minds out

Or that they'd have a
Or that they'd have a bloody hammer
Or that they'd have a bloody hammer
Or that they'd have a bloody hammer
Or that they'd have a bloody
Or that they'd have a bloody
Or that they'd have a bloody hammer

Second, I am the special one
My eyes, green and blue
And safely unbegotten
To the left to say no
While the others with their hair turned white
They just roll their eyes back to the top of their head
And hammer the attic floor with a bloody hammer

I never have the bloody hammer
I never have the bloody
I never have the bloody
I never have the bloody hammer

It's not a sledgehammer
It's not a chisel
It's not a train
But a thought of unlimited horror for
Dr. O'Chane, Dr. O'Chane

Baby ghost says beat it with your chain
Baby ghost says don't drag your chain away
Dr. O'Chane

One bat enlighten me, one bat in rain
One bat likes wolfbane for
Dr. O'Chane, Dr. O'Chane

The ghost says beat it with your chain
The ghost says don't drag your chain away
Dr. O'Chane

All bats are as Dracula vampires
Vampires in the rain
Vampires in the lightning for
Dr. O'Chane, Dr. O'Chane

The baby ghost in the 1900s says beat it with your chain
The baby ghost says don't drag your spoon, don't drag your chain away
Dr. O'Chane
