Is It Scary
Michael Jackson - Blood On The Dance Floor / HIStory In The Mix

There’s a ghost out in the hall

Theirs a ghoul beneath the bed

Now it’s coming through the walls

Now it’s coming down the stairs

Then there’s screaming in the dark

Hear the beating of his heart

Can you feel it in the air

Ghosts be hiding everywhere

I’m gonna be

Exactly what you wanna see

It’s you whose haunting me

Your warning me

To be the stranger

In your life

Am I amusing you

Or just confusing you

Am I the beast

You visualized

And if you wanna to see

Eccentricalities

I’ll be grotesque

Before your eyes

Let them all materialize

Is that scary for you baby

Am I scary for you oh

Is it scary for you baby

Is it scary for you

You know the stranger is you

Is it scary for you baby

There’s a creak beneath the floor

There’s a creak behind the door

There’s a rocking in the chair

But nobody sitting there

Their’s a ghostly smell around

But nobody to be found

And a coughin’ and a yawnin’

Where restless soul’s spoke

I’m gonna be

Exactly what you gonna see

So did you come to me

To see your fantasies

Performed before your very eyes

A haunting ghostly treat

The foolish trickery

And spirits dancing

In the light

But if you came to see

The truth the purity

It’s here inside

A lonely heart

So let the performance start

Is that scary for you baby

Am I scary for you oh

Am I scary for you baby

Am I scary for you

So tell me is it scary for you baby

So tell me is it crazy for you baby

Am I scary for you

You know the stranger is you

Am I scary for ya

Masquerade the heart

Is the height of haunting souls

Just not what you seek of me

Can the heart reveal the proof

Like a mirror reveals the truth

See the evil one is you

Is that scary for you baby

Am I scary for you oh

Am I scary for you baby

Is it scary for you

So tell me am I scary for you baby

Am I scary for ya baby

Is is scary for ya baby

Am I scary for you

(I don’t wanna talk about it)

Am I scary for you baby

Am I scary for you

I’m tired of being abused

You know you’re scaring me too

I see the evil is you

Is it scary for you baby
