That howling tune (Nothing at all)

Ah-ooooh
Ah-ooooh
Ah-ooooh
Ah-ooooh

Spooky oaks are now lampposts,
still dangerous to go out
Stop pretending you're that brave,
ignoring scary sounds

The concrete spilled a creepy critter,
maybe just on the outside
He tells you not to be afraid,
but he makes you wanna hide

Ah-ooooh
Ah-ooooh

He might be sorta cute,
he might be worth a walk,
could be the kind of guy
who you would like to stalk

You were naïve enough
to fall for golden eyes,
unconsciously expecting
the beast's hunger to rise

It cannot possibly
have been as bad as you
tell yourself it was,
tell yourself it was

He swears that's how
much he meant to hurt you:
nothing at all,
nothing at all

Ah-ooooh
Ah-ooooh

No-one can be trusted
till proven otherwise
Your illusions that this town was safe
have now met their demise

Acting strangely, people notice
How long to gather the guts
to open your ashamed mouth
and make them think you're nuts?

Ah-ooooh
Ah-ooooh

Maybe he's the only one
willing to hug you tight,
give you some wolfish love,
protect you from the night…

But on the other hand,
he ruined your so-so life
Going back ain't sensible,
let alone without a knife

Ooooh

It cannot possibly
have been as bad as you
tell yourself it was,
tell yourself it was

He swears that's how
much he meant to hurt you:
nothing at all,
nothing at all…
Nothing at all,
nothing at all

[solo]

“Why are you freaking out?
This happens all the time!”
“I feel utterly devoured,
what you did was a crime!”

“You're lucky I'm so nice
It could have been way worse”
“You've cast upon my body
and soul a painful curse”

It cannot possibly
have been as bad as you
tell yourself it was,
tell yourself it was

He swears that's how
much he meant to hurt you:
nothing at all,
nothing at all…
Nothing at all,
nothing at all

Nothing at all,
nothing at all…
Nothing at all,
nothing at all

[whispered fade-out]

Nothing at all…
Nothing at all…
Nothing at all…
Nothing at all…
Nothing at all…
Nothing at all…
Nothing at all…
