A festive setting where some of the worlds most infamous serial killers get together and socialize with each other.

lyrics

Monsters Ball

Welcome degenerates, one and all
You’re all invited..to the Monsters Ball

Step this way and watch your step
Open the doors to the Monsters Ball
Welcome one and welcome all, I’m glad you decide to come
You’re all invited to the Monsters Ball


It’s the quiet man, they’re the people next store,
You don’t know what goes on behind closed doors
The evil inside will come alive
And the bodies will wash ashore


Has anybody seen the waitress Helene
Serving up her soup and drink
Officer Schaefer patrolling the grounds,
A real lady killer, in ways more than you may think

John Wayne Gacy is turning on the charm
Bragging about the parade in his town
With the dirt still under his fingernails
He continues to clown around


Step this way and watch your step
Open the doors to the Monsters Ball
Once inside, you’ll never leave
Welcome to the Monsters Ball


It’s the quiet man, they’re the people next store,
You don’t know what goes on behind closed doors
The evil inside will come alive
And the bodies will wash ashore


Bible John, dancing in the ballroom
Debonair and light on his feet
In the corner, Karl Grossman sets up shop
Selling hot dogs and his own black market meat

Ed Gein and his newly acquired spleen
Wearing his heart on his sleeve
Next in sight, Charles Albright
Keeping his pupils all in a row

Solo

Step this way and watch your step
Open the doors to the Monsters Ball
Once inside, you’ll never leave
Welcome to the Monsters Ball



Fisher and Jeff, tried to digest
But left because they we’re fed up with people
Now, Father Hans looked rather relax
After spending time under the steeple

Looking cute in her husbands suit
Katherine Knight played with the foreskin
Just as she was handed a business card
Promoting the family Bender Inn
