Verse 1:
Down by the glade my true love went away and I seek her daily, I seek her
Deep in the woods by the willows and brooks I still feel her, roaming, I feel her
There’s a shiver in the neighbourhood in the suburban street now
Cause I bargain with the devil to let him bring her back to me
Well C’mon (4x)
Chorus:
You can’t run, you can’t hide, bedlam-mind, wicked-eyed silhouette
Silent in the dead of night, he’s cold as ice, wicked-eyed silhouette
The Ice-Cream Man, the Ice-Cream Man, the Ice-Cream Man
The Ice-Cream Man, the Ice-Cream Man, the Ice-Cream Man
Verse 2:
Down by the creek running shallow and bleak is where I feed him, daily, I feed him
There is dew on the leaves noone’s hearing you scream it’s a bleeding horror, it’s bleeding
And a little bird was telling me I am chasing a demon
But I never came to realize that the demon was me
Well C’mon (4x)
Chorus:
You can’t run, you can’t hide, bedlam-mind, wicked-eyed silhouette
Silent in the dead of night, he’s cold as ice, wicked-eyed silhouette
The Ice-Cream Man, the Ice-Cream Man, the Ice-Cream Man
The Ice-Cream Man, the Ice-Cream Man, the Ice-Cream Man
Bridge:
Oh, darling what have I become
I’m just a wicked on the run
But in the marrow of my bones
There’s still a glimmer of your love
Thirty two rotten teeth the demon just smiles at me I
See my reflection in the creek
My heart has turned to stone cause all that is left is bone, now
I am immutable alone
Verse 3:
Over the hill in the crumblin‘ old mill is where I’m hiding, now I’m just hiding
They’re tracing me, chasing, surrounding this place and I’m silent hush baby, silence
And the mob is kicking out the door having torches and rifles
There’s a noose around a neck, a body with a face like mine
