I've got a game I wanna show you. If I tell you my name, you'll have to play too. I've been here for years, biding my time just waiting and primed until I could find you. Just sign on a line and we can be friends. I'll be here for you until your world ends. Enjoy all your toys, I will supply. You only live once and you'll be mine. The day you die, I'll have my payment: your eternal soul's enslavement. Did you divine our dark arrangement? You were lovely entertainment; the dark desires you've been serving. You can bet that you're deserving no regret for who you're hurting. Why, it's almost like you're flirting! Come into my world and take a look at me. I am the nightmare on the dark side of the moon. I'm your first last resort so call me when you need a helping hand. Play your cards wrong and I'll see you soon~.
     Sorry, I don't mean to alarm you. If you ask me to stay, I would be charmed to. You all have such cozy little lives. How do you survive like that? I wish I knew. You've got a lovely little secret: You're tired of feeling awful small. You give Mr. Alastor a call to make a deal because you're hungry for the sights. You wanna see them, earthly delights. You feel you need them, your appetites. I'll help you feed them! I'll be your sweet radio demon. Once your hunger has abated, don't forget your friend who waited; watched as you indulged your thirst and- did I mention that you're cursed? Come into my world and take a look at me. I am the nightmare on the dark side of the moon. I'm your first last resort so call me when you need a helping hand. Play your cards wrong and I'll see you soon~.     You lay your chips out on the table now. When you gamble souls, the house will always win. I'm double-dealing in betrayal and I'm here to cash my payout. I hope it was worth the life of sin. Welcome to my world. Take a look around. Inside your nightmare, deep beyond the mortal veil, you made a wrong turn at the crossroads. You're at the final episode: eternity with me in Hell. It was a pleasure to play, how I enjoyed you. Suffice to say when I play, I don't lose. I collect on the debts that you accrued. It was such a gas, I really am amused. If you have a dark thought, I'm right beside you; a casual whisper just to guide you. Look over your shoulder and I'm gone. Remember this song and I bid you adieu!
