[instrumental] [Verse] In a cabin in the woods, no signal on my phone, Got an 80's mixtape blarin', feels like I'm not alone. Shower's startin', I hear the water flow, Any minute now, the killer's gonna show. [Verse 2] Ignore the creepy warnings left on the TV, Turn up that Bon Jovi, it's you and me, baby. Squeaky floorboards, shadow in the hall, Who's that lurkin'? It's your typical free-for-all. [Chorus] In horror movie clichés, we play the fool, Dancin' in the moonlight, breakin' every rule. Trippin' on our own feet, screamin' at the sky, In horror movie clichés, we always die. [Verse 3] Knife in hand, here comes the masked face, Chainsaw's revvin', it's a little too on the chase. Blonde girl runnin', don't know where to go, Fallin' for the oldest trick we know. [Verse 4] Old man with a warning we didn't heed, "Don't go out there," but we did indeed. Expensive effects and buckets of fake blood, Perfect storm brewin', here comes the flood. [Chorus] In horror movie clichés, we play the fool, Dancin' in the moonlight, breakin' every rule. Trippin' on our own feet, screamin' at the sky, In horror movie clichés, we always die. [Epic Solo] [Spoken word] "Hey, I got an idea!" "What is it?" "Let's split up, gang!" "Oh yeah, what's the worst that can happen?" "See you later!" [Verse 5] Fog rolls in on a Friday night, Teenagers look for a place to hide. Trick or treat turns to a bad delight, When they find an old house with no lights inside. [Verse 6] Jenny heard a rustle, got scared and ran, But tripped over nothing, like if it was the plan. Bobby grabbed the axe, thought he'd play the man, But missed the zombie, hit the metal trash can. [Bridge] Run, don't trip, it's a B-movie dream, Zombies, monsters, all part of the scheme. Make all the dumb choices, scream and flail, In this low-budget horror, we're bound to fail. [Chorus] In horror movie clichés, we play the fool, Dancin' in the moonlight, breakin' every rule. Trippin' on our own feet, screamin' at the sky, In horror movie clichés, we always die. [Verse 7] Tom stayed behind to check the shed, Found it full of spiders, now he's dead. Lisa heard screams but checked the bed, 'Cause hiding under covers, keeps ghosts in dread. [Verse 8] They split up in the haunted wood, Where the killer knew they always would. Found a cabin with “Help” carved in the wood, Ran straight towards it, like idiots should. [Chorus] In horror movie clichés, we play the fool, Dancin' in the moonlight, breakin' every rule. Trippin' on our own feet, screamin' at the sky, In horror movie clichés, we always die. [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] In horror movie clichés, we play the fool, Dancin' in the moonlight, breakin' every rule. Trippin' on our own feet, screamin' at the sky, In horror movie clichés, we always die. [spoken word] "Uh guys? ... Where are you? ... We were supposed to meet up here! ... Billy? ... Tom? ... What was that!? ... Oh it was just my reflection! ... Everything is fine. ... Wait, what was that sound? ... Was it my cat I left at home? ... Wait! It can't be!!" ... "No! No!!" [Scream!] [Final Chorus] In horror movie clichés, we play the fool, Dancin' in the moonlight, breakin' every rule. Trippin' on our own feet, screamin' at the sky, In horror movie clichés, we always die. [End]
