This is still outstanding. One of my favourites. 1990s. A few more lines added

The full moon's glowing
Blood red in the sky
It hangs like fire
On this winter's night
I sit on feelings
That hang in suspense
Nothing in my life makes sense

I see your folks have gone away
Would you dance with me today ?

Keeping with the creepy theme, 70's

I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers over flowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Now she's stupid in the street
And she can't socialize
Well, I love the little girl
And I'll love her till the day she dies

Where our love used to be
Only shadows of the past I see
Time can't seem to erase

The vision of your smiling face

Features distorted in the flickering light Faces are twisted and grotesque Silent and stern in the sweltering night

Thriller? M J

You were correct with monster mash, but wrong with this one.

Think canada

I'm intrigued by your user name everythingisginandroses

And I'm waaaaay to drunk to guess anyone else's lyrics. Sorry.

FlouncerInDenial · 27/10/2020 21:44

I know I know Honey's. How annoying

Honeyroar · 27/10/2020 21:54

Words as weapons
Sharper than knives
Makes you wonder how the other half die

Honeyroar · 27/10/2020 21:58

Well I know that it’s hard
And I know that it’s tough
When each thing you give me is just not enough

It's your money I'm after, Honey baby
The wonder stuff

Honeyroar · 27/10/2020 22:17

It is Iggi. (no point being after my money. 🤣)

Honeyroar · 27/10/2020 22:19

Why hasn’t the drunken Flouncer answered my god one??

The words as weapons is part of the theme, I think.
