Lyrics: 
 
Honey it^Òs getting close to midnight 
and all the myths are still in town 
True love and lipstick on your linen 
Bite the pillow make no sound 
If there^Òs some living to be done 
Before your life becomes your tomb 
You^Òd better know I^Òm the one 
So unchain the backdoor invite me door 
 
Chorus: 
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter 
Let her go, let her go, let her go 
 
Honey it^Òs getting close to daybreak 
The sun is creeping in the sky 
No patent remedies for heartache 
Just empty words and humble pie 
So get down on your knees honey 
Assume an attitude 
You just pray that I^Òll be waiting 
Cos you know I^Òm coming soon 
 
Chorus 
 
So pick up your foolish pride, no going back 
No where, no way, no place to hide 
 
Bring your daughter, 
fetch your daughter to the slaughter.
