專輯介紹
《Invincible》是流行天王Michael Jackson邁入新世紀最新力作，也是他10年來最新的完整創作專輯，正如專輯名稱正說明了Michael在歌壇無人可超越的地位及耀眼的成就表現。從1969年在歌壇發表首支單曲至今，Michael30年的音樂生涯發行過《Off The Wall》、《Thriller》、《Bad》、《Dangerous》、《HIStory：Past，Present and Future-BookⅠ》、《Blood On The Dance Floor：History In The Mix》等專輯，個人擁有36首Top10 單曲（其中包括13首冠軍曲），獲得13座葛萊美獎等最高榮譽，並且是全美音樂獎、全英音樂獎、靈魂列車音樂獎、Billboard年終排行等的最大贏家，更進而榮膺葛萊美獎及全美音樂獎頒與當代傳奇獎及特殊成就獎，締造了劃時代的紀錄及流行潮流，數不盡的獎項及頭銜都無法具體呈述邁克對樂界的影響及貢獻。
曾在1993、1996年來訪亞洲並在台灣演出的Michael，以其精湛歌藝及舞台表演征服台灣歌迷，同樣地在世界各地樂迷也奉邁克為他們心目中最具份量的流行歌手。樂壇生涯屆滿30年之際，身為小甜甜布蘭妮、超級男孩、天命真女等流行群星心目中頭號偶像的Michael選擇在2001年發行最新力作《Invincible》，網羅當今金字招牌的製作陣容包括：Rodney Jerkins、Teddy Riley、R.Kelly、Babyface等，首支單曲“You Rock My World”，邁克開創新式情歌風格，好萊塢紅星Chris Tucker克里斯塔克（尖峰時刻系列主演）特別前來跨刀，不僅在歌曲中與Michael精彩對話也現身MTV演出，攻勢猛烈首周躍居全英金榜亞軍；意境深遠的抒情曲“Cry”，道出人們不該冷漠面對這世界的亂象及苦難；加入了卡洛山塔那（Carlos Santana）吉他獨奏的拉丁寫意韻味曲“Whatever Happens”；溫暖清新的“Speechless”是戀人們真摯的心情告白；性格陽剛離落，酷勁十足的“Unbreakable”，融入已故饒舌大將Notorious B.I.G.生前遺作，而新生代女歌手Brandy特來擔綱幕後合音；盡現節奏藍調節奏美感的“Heaven Can Wait”；承續“You Are Not Alone”細膩動容的抒懷佳構“Break Of Dawn”等，展現了流行天王迎向新紀元的事業高峰及傲人的創作表現。

成功背後
《Invincible》在包括澳大利亞、比利時、丹麥、法國、德國、荷蘭、中國香港、匈牙利、義大利、立陶宛、挪威、瑞典、土耳其，當然還有英國和美國等國家和地區登上了專輯榜的冠軍位置。最新銷量在1200萬左右. 雖然成績尚可，但依據麥可傑克遜的標準卻著實令人失望。同他以往屢破記錄的專輯相比，毫不誇張的說，《Invincible》至少在銷售上是個失敗。其失敗的原因總結如下：
到 2001年年底為止，該專輯的銷量達540萬 （是2001年度最暢銷專輯的11名）考慮到才銷售了2個月，這個成績還是不錯的。但《HIStory》同《Dangerous》卻可以在相同時間段里售出更多。不過，直到2002年上半年該專輯在美國和法國的銷售勢頭的確超過了當年的《HIStory》。專輯在法國取得了巨大的成功，它在冠軍位置上待了3周並繼續停留在前10名長達2個月之久，因此專輯在法國本地的銷量可能已經達到了100萬。專輯起先在美國本土的成績也相當不錯。但令很多人大為吃驚的是，儘管專輯僅在一個月就突破100萬大關，但在2002年年中就因沒有宣傳，沒有單曲發行而以210萬的結局掉出專輯榜的200名。此外專輯在R&B專輯榜上占據了4周冠軍並在前10位停留了14周。
一切表明專輯的起步良好而穩定，但之後純粹只是因為Sony Music方面不做任何宣傳活動，錯失宣傳熱門單曲的機會而以短命而告終。原本有人希望單曲 “Cry”可以在2001年聖誕節期間幫助專輯沖回排行榜。但最後卻以Cry在單曲榜上的失利而不了了之。在美國方面的第2支單曲“Butterflies”在延長專輯銷售壽命方面取得了成功。但該曲因沒有作為商業單曲發行而使其對延長專輯銷售壽命方面的積極意義被弱化了。除非“Unbreakable”或另一支單曲被發行，不然專輯根本不可能有任何沖回排行榜的趨勢。2003年初的記錄片及採訪曾促使Michael的專輯重新爬回世界各地排行榜，但這種影響對《Invincible》來說卻是微乎其微。主要原因還是因為《Invincible》的知名度不夠。
專輯及單曲的宣傳行動在2002年Michael Jackson同Sony Music之間的矛盾尖銳化及有可能離開Sony的行動而正式停止。雖然“Unbreakable”和“Whatever Happens”的發行對專輯的長期銷售計畫有著極其重要的作用，但此時他們作為商業單曲發行的可能性幾乎為零。在美國，所有的單曲發行計畫都被取消，包括正在電台熱播的“Butterflies”。隨後，專輯基本上跌出各大排行榜，只在2003年因為一部Martin Bashir的採訪記錄片“與Michael Jackson一同生活”，才讓該專輯短暫地重新回到了某些排行榜單上，比如英國榜。但由於Martin Bashir的記錄片沒有真實客觀地反映michael jackson的真實生活，隨後便播出反擊該紀錄片的另一部採訪錄《走近Michael Jackson》。
專輯原本有大量成為超級熱門曲目潛力的歌曲。但Sony Music卻竭盡所能阻止這一切發生。Michael Jackson以往發行的所有專輯都因有大量單曲發行做後盾及巡演的強勢宣傳而擁有長達兩年的持久的銷售生命力。但《Invincible》卻是一無所有。歌迷之後掀起了抗議Sony的活動，michael jackson也參與其中，但並沒能讓Sony回心轉意。
Sony隨後繼續前進，把《Invincible》的“You Rock My World”和“Break of Dawn”放到了新精選《Number Ones》上，該合輯在6周內就賣出了三倍於《Invincible》的銷量，儘管在其他國家，尤其是美國，《Invincible》還是比《Number Ones》賣得要多。

Now I'm just wondering why you think
That you can get to me with anything
Seems like you'd know by now
When and how I get down
and with all that I've been through, I'm still around
Don't ever make no mistake
Baby I've got what it takes
And there's no way you'll ever get to me Why can't you see that you'll never ever hurt me
'Cause I won't let it be, see I'm too much for you baby
歌詞本內頁CHORUSYou can't believe it, you can't conceive it
And you can't touch me, 'cause I'm untouchable
And I know you hate it, and you can't take it
You'll never break me, 'cause I'm unbreakable
Now you can't stop me even though you think
That if you block me, you've done your thing
And when you bury me underneath all your pain
I'm steady laughin', while surfacing
Don't you ever make no mistake
Baby I've got what it takes
And there's no way you'll ever get to me
Why can't you see that you'll never ever hurt me
'Cause I won't let it be, see I'm too much for you baby
CHORUS x 2
You can try to stop me, but it won't do a thing
No matter what you do, I'm still gonna be here
Through all your lies and silly games
I'm a still remain the same, I'm unbreakable
(Rap by Notorious B.I.G)
I'm off to remembering my D.C. women
Bringin' in ten G minimums to condos with elevators in 'em
Vehicles with televisions in 'em
Watch they entourage turn yours to just mirages
Disappearing acts, strictly nines and macs
Killers be serial, Copperfield material
My dreams is vivid, work hard to live it
Any place I visit I got land there
How can players stand there and say I sound like them, hello
Push wigs back and push six Coupes that's yellow
Plus clips that expand from hand to elbow
Spray up your Day's Inn, any 'telle you in
Crack braggin, sick of braggin, how my mink be draggin'
Desert ease street sweeper inside the beamer wagon
I rely on Bed-Stuy to shut it down if I die
Put that on my diamond bezel, you messin' with the devil
What, what, what!

Deceitful eyes, she's got those come get me thighs
She only knows how low that she can go
She speaks the lines that can control my mind
Wherever she goes I know my eyes follow
She blew a kiss, I swear that it was meant
Only for me, then spoke with her body
her only goal is just to take control
And I can't believe it that I can't tell her no
CHORUS
That girl I can't take her
Should have known she was a heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
Should have seen right through her she's a heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
Should have seen it coming heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
Should have seen right through her
That girl I can't take her
She plays a game with such an innocent face
I didn't know heartbreaking was her casey
her actions confess and put me through the test
I was surprised that I was caught inside
Now she is thinking that I'll never know
And she'll keep playing until I let her go
But I e in time that hope in time that she will finally realize
I'm onto her game and she'll get payed the same
CHORUS x 2
I never thought that I would stop dreamin' about you
Stop being without you
But everyone told me so, to stop caring about you
And start being without you
But I'll find a way to go and start doin' without you
And stop talking about you
And what will she say?
She will say I was the man that got away
(Rap by Fats)
Feel good, huh?
I thought it was love but it's a game huh?
When you're dealin' with emotion it's a pain, ma
Take caution when you're dealin with a stranger
I can't changer her now
Heart burnin', well placed and you'll see
It won't heal from Pepsid AC
Ball hard player, she a star player?
I need Liz cracker, I ain't seen a heartbreaker, c'mon

If I could tear down these walls that keep you and I apart
I know I could claim your heart and our perfect love will start
But girl you just won't approve of the things that I do
When all I do is for you but still you say it ain't cool
If there's somebody else, he can't love you like me
And he says he'll treat you well, he can't treat you like me
And he's buying you diamonds and pearls, he can't do it like me
And he's taking you all across the world, he can't trick you
like me
CHORUS
So why ain't you feelin' me, she's invincible
But I can do anything, she's invincible
even when I beg and plead, she's invincible
Girl won't give in to me, she's invincible
Now many times I've told you of all the things I would do
But I can't seem to get through no matter how I try to
So tell me how does it seem that you ain't checking for me
When I know that I could be more than you could ever dream
If there's somebody else, he can't love you like me
And he says he'll treat you well, he can't treat you like me
And he's buying diamonds and pearls, he can't do it like me
And he's taking you all across the world, he can't trick you
like me
CHORUS
Now some way I'll have to prove all that I said I would do
Giving you everything, fulfilling your fantasy
Then maybe you'll change your mind and finally give in in time
Then I'll be showing you what other men are supposed to do
for you my baby
Rap (Fats)
Yo, mommy stop with the frontin'
I'm real with mine
All the things that I promise I'll fulfil in time
Chains and a bracelet you got the realest shines
How many trips you'll have jetlag
And you'll still be fine
He can drink but his money ain't long enough
He can spend but his game ain't strong enough
Now the way you resistin'
This ain't cool
It's like nothin' seems to worry her
She's invincible

Hold my hand, feel the touch of your body cling to mine
You and me, makin' love al the way through another night
I remember you and I walking through the park at night
Kiss and touch, nothing much, let it blow just touch and go
Love me more, never leave me alone by house of love
People talk, people say what we have is just a game
Oh, I'll never let you go, come here girl
Just got to make sweet love 'til the break of dawn
CHORUS
I don't want the sun to shine I wanna make love
Just this magic in your eyes and in my heart
I don't know what i'm gonna do i can't stop lovin' you
I won't stop 'til break of dawn makin' love
Hold my hand, feel the sweat, yes you've got me nervous yet
Let me groove, let me soothe, let me take you on a cruise
There's imagination workin', never been there before
Have you ever wanted to dream aout those places you've
never known
Break of dawn, there's no sun up in the sky
Break of dawn, I can see it in your eyes
Break of dawn, girl you go to understand
It's the way that I love you, let me show you I'm your man
Break of dawn
CHORUS x 2
Let's not wait, the sun is out, let's get up and let's get out
It's the day, a brand new day, let's both go outside and play
Let us walk down the park, makin' love 'til it's dark
can you move, can you soothe, 'til the break of dawn and you
know it's true, oh

CHORUS
Tell the angels no, I don't wanna leave my baby alone
I don't want nobody else to hold you
That's a chance I'll take
Baby I'll stay, Heaven can wait
No, if the angels took me from this earth
I would tell them bring me back to her
It's a chance I'll take, maybe I'll stay
Heaven can wait
You're beautiful
Each moment spent with you is simply wonderful
This love I have for you girl it's incredible
and I don't know what I'd do, if I can't be with you
The world could not go on so every night I pray
If the Lord should come for me before I wake
I wouldn't wanna go if I can't see your face, can't hold
you close
What good would Heaven be
If the angels came for me I'd tell them no
CHORUS
Unthinkable
Me sitting up in the clouds and you are all alone
The time might come around when you'd be moving on
I'd turn it all around and try to get back downto my baby girl
Can't stand to see nobody kissing, touching her
Couldn't take nobody loving you the way we were
What good would Heaven be
If the angels come for me I'd tell them no
CHORUS
Oh no, can't be without my baby
Won't go, without her I'd go crazy
Oh no, guess Heaven will be waiting
Ooh
CHORUS
Just leave us alone
Please leave us alone

All you got to do is walk away and pass me by
Don't acknowledge my smile when I try to say hello to you, yeah
And all you got to do is not answer my calls when I'm trying to get through
To keep me wndering why, when all I can do is sigh
I just wanna touch you
CHORUS
I just wanna touch and kiss you
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
Yu give me butterflies inside, inside and I
All I gotta say is that I must be dreaming, can't be real
You're not here with me, still I can feel you near me
I caress you, let you taste us, just so blissful listen
I would give you anything baby, just make my dreams come true
Oh baby you give me butterflies

Your love is magical
But I have not the words here to explain
Gone is the grace for expressions of passion
But there are worlds and worlds of ways to explain
To tell you how I feel
But I am speechless, speechless
That's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am far away and nothing is for real
When I'm with you I am lost for words, I don't know what to say
My head's spinning like a carousel, so silently I pray
Helpless and hopeless, that's how you make me feel
Nothing's real, but all is possible if God is on my side
When I'm with you I am in the light where I cannot be found
It's as though I am standing in the place called
Hallowed Ground
Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am far away and nothing is for real
I'll go anywhere and do anything just to touch your face
There's no mountain high I cannot climb
I'm humbled in your grace
Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am lost for words and nothing is for real
Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am far away, and nothing is for real
Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am lost for words and nothing is for real
Speechless
Your love is magical, that's how I feel
But in your presence I am lost for words
Words like, "I love you."

Bass note, treble, stereo control, how low you go
Just enough to make your juices flow
Press play, don't stop, rotate, too hot
You feel I'm real
I'm everything you need, so tell me what's the deal
CHORUS

Too much of that, fuse blown
Be careful what you say don't overload
2000 Watts, 8 ohms, 200 volts, real strong
Too much of that, fuse blown
Be careful what you say don't overload

Once all alone
I was lost in a world of strangers
No one to trust
On my own, I was lonely
You suddenly appeared
It was cloudy before but now it's clear
You took away the fear
You brought me back to life
CHORUS
You are the sun
You make me shine
Or more like the stars
That twinkle at night
You are the moon
That glows in my heart
You're my daytime, my nighttime
My world
You are my life
Now I wake up everday
With this smile upon my face
No more tears, no more pain
'Cause you love me
You help me understand
That love is the answer to all that I am
and I am a better man
You taught me by sharing your life
Chorus
You gave me strength
When I wasn't strong
You gave me hope when all hope is lost
You opened my eyes when I couldn't see
Love was always here waiting for me
Privacy
Written and composed by Michael Jackson, Rodney Jerkins, Fred Jerkins III, LaShawn Daniels, Bernard Bell
Ain't the pictures enough, why do you go through so much
To get the story you need, so you can bury me
You've got the people confused, you tell the stories you choose
You try to get me to lose the man I really am
You keep on stalking me, invading my privacy
Won't you just let me be
‘Cause your cameras can't control, the minds of those who know
That you'll even sell your soul just to get a story sold
Chorus:
I need my privacy, I need my privacy
So paparazzi, get away from me
Some of you still wonder why, one of my friends had to die
To get a message across, that yet you haven't heard
My friend was chased and confused, like many others I knew
But on that cold winter night, my pride was snatched away
Now she get no second chance, she just ridiculed and harassed
Please tell me why
Now there's a lesson to learn, respect's not given, it's earned
Stop maliciously attacking my integrity
Chorus
Now there's a lesson to learn, stories are twisted and turned
Stop maliciously attacking my integrity
Chorus x 3
Don't walk away
Written and composed by Michael Jackson, Teddy Riley, Richard Carlton Stites, Reed Vertelney
Don't walk away
See I just can't find the right thing to say
I tried but all my pain gets in the way
Tell me what I have to do so you'll stay
Should I get down on my knees and pray
Chorus 1:
And how can I stop losing you
How can I begin to say
When there's nothing left to do but walk away
I close my eyes
Just to try and see you smile one more time
But it's been so long now all I do is cry
Can't we find some love to take this away
‘Cause the pain gets stronger every day
Chorus 2:
How can I begin again
How am I to understand
When there's nothing left to do but walk away
See now why
All my dreams been broken
I don't know where we're going
Everything we said and all we done now
Don't let go, I don't wanna walk away
Now why
All my dreams are broken
Don't know where we're going
Everything begins to set us free
Can't you see, I don't wanna walk away
If you go, I won't forget you girl
Can't you see that you will always be
Even though I had to let you go
There's nothing left to do
Don't walk away
Cry
Written and composed by R. Kelly
Somebody shakes when the wind blows
Somebody's missing a friend
Hold on
Somebody's lacking a hero
And they have not a clue
When it's all gonna end
The end…
Stories buried and untold
Someone is hiding the truth
Hold on
When will this mystery unfold?
And will the sun ever shine
In the blind man's eyes when he cries?
(You can change the world)
I can't do it by myself
(You can touch the sky)
Gonna take somebody's help
(You're the chosen one)
I'm gonna need some kind of sign
If we all cry
At the same time tonight
People laugh when they are feeling sad
Someone is taking a life
Hold on
Respect to believe in your dreams
Tell me where were you?
When your children cried last night?
Faces fill with madness (Ahh)
Hoo
Miracles unheard of (Ahh)
Hold on
Faith is found in the winds (Ahh)
All we have to do
Is reach for the truth?
The truth…
(You can change the world)
I can't do it by myself
(You can touch the sky)
Yes, gonna take somebody's help
(You're the chosen one)
I'm gonna need some kind of sign
If we all cry
At the same time tonight (at the same time tonight)
And when that flag blows (flag blows)
There'll be no more wars
(Whoo…why)
And when all calls
I will answer all your prayers
Prayers
Though the world
(You can change the world)
I can't do it by myself
Oh no
(You can touch the sky)
Gonna take somebody's help
Oh no
(You're the chosen one)
I'm gonna need some kind of sign
(If we all cry) Cry baby
(At the same time tonight)
Take it trough me
Hoo!
(You can change the world)
I can't do it by myself
All right
(You can touch the sky)
Gonna take somebody's help
Ooh no
(You're the chosen one)
I'm gonna need some kind of sign
(If we all cry) Cry baby
(At the same time tonight)
Take it trough me
(You can change the world)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
(You can touch the sky)
Hoo! Hoo!
Gonna take somebody's help
(That’s right)
Alright (You're the chosen one)
I'm gonna need some kind of sign
(If we all cry)
Cry baby
(At the same time tonight)
Take it about me

Put it down of me, put it down of me
Alright…

(At the same time tonight)
(Same time tonight)

The Lost Children
Written and composed by Michael Jackson
We pray for our fathers, pray for our mothers
Wishing our families well
We sing songs for the wishing
Of those who are kissing
But not for the missing
So this one's for all the lost children
This one's for all the lost children
This one's for all the lost children
Wishing them well
And wishing them home
When you sit there addressing, counting your blessings
Biding your time
When you lay me down sleeping and my heart is weeping
Because I'm keeping a place
For all the lost children
This is for all the lost children
This one's for all the lost children
Wishing them well
And wishing them home
Home with their fathers
Snug close and warm, loving their mothers
I see the door simply wide open
But no one can find thee
So pray for all the lost children
Let's pray for all the lost children
Just think of all the lost children
Wishing them well
This is for all the lost children
This one's for all the lost children
Just think of all the lost children
Wishing them well
And wishing them home
Whatever Happens
Written and composed by Michael Jackson, Teddy Riley, Gil Cang, J. Quay, Geoffrey Williams
Featuring guitar solo by Carlos Santana
He gives another smile
Tries to understand her side
To show that he cares
She's consumed with everything that's been goin' on
She says
Whatever happens
Don't let go of my hand
Everything will be alright
He assures her
But she doesn't hear a word that he says
Preoccupied
She's afraid
Afraid that what they're doing is not right
He doesn't know what to say
So he prays
Whatever, whatever, whatever
Whatever happens
Don't let go of my hand
(Don't let go of my hand)
See whatever happens
Don't let go of my hand
(Don't let go of my hand)
Whatever happens
Don't let you go of my hand
(Don't let go of my hand)
(Don't let go of my hand)
He's working day and night
Thinks he'll make her happy
Forgetting all the dreams that he had
He doesn't realize
It's not the end of the world
It doesn't have to be that bad
She tries to explain
“It's you that makes me happy,”
Whatever, whatever, whatever
Whatever happens
Don't let go of my hand
(Don't let go of my hand)
So whatever happens
Don't let you go of my hand
(Don't let go of my hand)
Whatever happens
Don't let you go of my hand
(Don't let go of my hand)
See whatever happens
Just don't let go of my hand
(Don't let go of my hand)
(Don't let go of my hand)
(Don't let go of my hand)
(Don't let go of my hand)
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't
Don't
Whatever happens
(Sha na na na uuu)
Don't let her go of my hand
(Sha na na na uuu)
Whatever happens
(Sha na na na uuu)
Don't let go of my hand
(Sha na na na uuu)
See whatever happens
(Sha na na na uuu)
Don't let go of my hand
(Sha na na na uuu)
So whatever happens
(Sha na na na uuu)
Don't let go
(Sha na na na uuu)
(Sha na na na uuu)
(Sha na na na uuu)
(Sha na na na uuu)
(Sha na na na uuu)
(Sha na na na uuu)
(Sha na na na uuu)
(Sha na na na uuu)
Whatever happens
Just don't let go of my hand
Spoken
Thank you man
Thank you, Carlos
Threatened
Written and composed by Michael Jackson, Rodney Jerkins, Fred Jerkins III, LaShawn Daniels, Robert Smith.
Contains audio snippets of Rod Serling
(Rod Serling Intro)
Tonight's story is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction
A monster had arrived in the village
The major ingredient of any recipe for fear is the unknown
And this person or thing is soon to be met
He knows every thought, he can feel every emotion
Oh yes, I did forget something didn't I?
I forgot to introduce you to the monster.
You're fearing me
‘Cause you know I'm a beast
Watching you when you sleep
When you're in bed I'm underneath
You're trapped in halls
And my face is the walls
I'm the floor when you fall
And when you scream it's ‘cause of me
I'm the living dead
The dark thoughts in your head
I know just what you said
That's why you've got to be threatened by me
You should be watching me
You should feel threatened
Why you sleep, why you creep
You should be threatened
Every time your lady speaks she speaks to me
Threatened
Half of me you'll never be
So you should feel threatened by me
You think you're by yourself
But it's my touch you felt
I'm not a ghost from Hell
But I've got a spell on you
Your worst nightmare
It's me I'm everywhere
In one blink I'll disappear
And then I'll come back to haunt you
I'm telling you
When you lie under tomb
I'm the one watching you
That's why you got to be threatened by me
You should be watching me
You should feel threatened
Why you sleep, why you creep
You should be threatened
Every time your lady speaks she speaks to me
Threatened
Half of me you'll never be
So you should feel threatened by me
(Rod Serling Verse)
The unknown monster is about to embark
From a far corner, out of the dark
A nightmare, that's the case
Never Neverland, that's the place
This particular monster can read minds
Be in two places at the same time
This is judgment night, execution, slaughter
The devil, ghosts, this monster is torture
You can be sure of one thing, that's fate
A human presence that you feel is strange
A monster that you can see disappear
A monster, the worst thing to fear
(You should be watching me)
(You should feel threatened) No no
(Why you sleep, why you creep)
(You should be threatened) Yeah
(Every time your lady speaks she speaks to me)
(Threatened) Ooh
(Half of me you'll never be)
(So you should feel threatened)
You should be, feel threatened
Why you sleep, threatened
Every time, threatened
Half of me
So you should feel threatened by me
(You should be watching me)
(You should feel threatened)
No no
(Why you sleep, why you creep)
(You should be threatened)
Yeah
(Every time your lady speaks)
(She speaks to me)
It’s threatened
(Threatened)
(Half of me you'll never be)
Hey you
(So you should feel threatened)
(You should be watching me)
Hoo! Hoo!
(You should feel threatened)
C’mon babe
Yeah
(Why you sleep, why you creep)
(You should be)
You should be
(Threatened)
Hoo!
(Every time your lady speaks)
Up the stair
(She speaks to me)
(Threatened)
Hoo!
(Half of me you'll never be)
(So you should feel threatened by me)
You should feel threatened by me
(Rod Serling Outro)
What you have just witnessed could be the end of a particularly terrifying nightmare.
It isn't.
It's the beginning.
