Grimly Fiendish - The Damned

Grimly fiendish

Plays the game that never pays

Sung out loud but never prayed

Grimly fiendish

Wears a coat that’s black and long

He doesn’t know that it’s all wrong

Simply fiendish

A child caught in a grown up world

No lies convince the court

Once a week

I could be

Found on the faces all the frowns

Hide and seek

Tried so hard

To justify that crime could pay

Just for today

Bad lad, bad boy (x8)

Let me get the story straight

You never gave me a break

It’s a case of give and take

You didn’t make me good you just painted me green

You made me part of your forgotten dreams

Grimly fiendish

We’ll send you just where you belong

Where the children can’t be found

Hide and seek

Tried so hard

And justify that crime could pay

Just for today

Bad lad, bad boy (repeat)
