Midnite Maniac Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Did you read it in the paper
'Bout the danger comin' your way?
She'll tear you up at midnite
Killer on the loose, get out of her way

[Verse 2]
Sex machine, terrorizin' dream
Lock the door tonite
She's got it all, she can walk thru a wall
Better run for your life

[Pre-Chorus]
And in the light of day
In hidin' she will stay
Watch out at midnite
Feel her shadow on your face

[Chorus]
(Midnite maniac)
She's a killer at large
(Midnite maniac)
Lock your door 'cause she can't be far

[Verse 3]
Did you hear it on the radio
Crimes of passion makin' the news?
It happened after midnite
In your neighborhood, could've been you
[Verse 4]
Sex machine, terrorizin' dream
Lock your door tonite
She's got it all, she can walk thru a wall
Better run for your life

[Pre-Chorus]
And in the light of day
In hidin' she will stay
Watch out at midnite
Feel her shadow on your face

[Chorus]
(Midnite maniac)
She's a killer at large
(Midnite maniac)
Lock your door 'cause she can't be far
(Midnite maniac)
She's a killer at large
(Midnite maniac)
Lock your door, she knows where you are

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
(Midnite maniac)
She's a killer at large
(Midnite maniac)
Lock your door 'cause she can't be far
(Midnite maniac)
She's a killer at large
(Midnite maniac)
Lock your door, she knows where you are
