Power Hungry Darkness or a Goody Two-Shoes


Power hungry darkness or a goody-two-shoes

When you're a girl in this world, those are the paths you choose

Power hungry darkness or a goody-two-shoes

Since I see that you're a girl, which of them are you?

 

If a guy was to walk on the wild side

Well, he's just being a man

But if a girl walks on the wild side

Then she better get out while she can

 

Power hungry darkness

Is it eating you alive?

Power hungry darkness

Now you're all that you despise

 

Hey there, little goody-two-shoes

I can see that you're not pleased

Hey there, little goody-two-shoes

Won't you come with me?

 

Power hungry darkness

Tame the tigress from her rage

Power hungry darkness

Trap the beast within a cage

 

Little goody-two-shoes

Turn the good girl bad

Little goody-two-shoes

It's such fun to see her mad

 

If a person wants to watch you change

They'll do their best to make your choice

If a person wants to watch you change

It is doubtful you'll rejoice

 

Power hungry darkness or a goody-two-shoes

Can you keep the darkness from consuming you?

Power hungry darkness or a goody-two-shoes

Are you keeping to the high road, lighting up the room?
