Lyrics
It was cold outside, Saturday night, the full moon was shining down
Setting the scene on a cold Saturday night with a full moon.
We had a box of beer, an ounce of weed - my parents had just left town
Describing a night with alcohol and marijuana after the protagonist's parents left.
Went to the local video store, my buddies pulled up in the car
Heading to a video store with friends in a car.
Al, Jimmy, Neal, Me - we loaded the VCR
List of friends loading a VCR for a movie - Al, Jimmy, Neal, and the protagonist.
Some say I'm crazy it don't matter to me
Expression of indifference to others' opinions about the protagonist being crazy.
Sit on your easy chair - listen to me!
Encouraging others to listen while sitting comfortably.
Batshit crazy I don't want to be
Expressing a desire not to be crazy.
It was a late night movie on my colour TV
Highlighting the late-night movie on a color TV.
Half past one, I'm drunk as hell. I looked at Al, he was fucked as well
Protagonist and Al intoxicated; protagonist notices a sound outside.
Went outside to get some air and then I hear a sound from over there
Protagonist goes outside for fresh air.
The movie was good - we all agree, but there's a stone cold killer who's waiting for me
Positive view of the movie, but awareness of a killer in the storyline.
The movie was good - we all agree, but there's a stone cold killer who's waiting for me
Repetition of the awareness of a killer in the movie.
Some say I'm crazy it don't matter to me
Reiteration of the protagonist's indifference to being called crazy.
Sit on your easy chair - listen to me!
Encouraging others to listen while sitting comfortably (repeated).
Batshit crazy I don't want to be
Reiteration of the protagonist's desire not to be crazy.
It was a late night movie on my colour TV
Highlighting the late-night movie on a color TV (repeated).
Out the back the lights went out and then I hear a sickening crunch
Lights go out; the protagonist hears a disturbing sound.
Al's head flew through the air and then I lost my lunch!
Al's head is severed, causing a visceral reaction in the protagonist.
A bit of Neal's torso, it hit the ground - I saw the bottom half of Jimmy's frown
Details of the gruesome aftermath with body parts.
Looking down I saw the hands of a killer, looking down I saw the hands of a killer!
Direct observation of the killer's hands.
Some say I'm crazy it don't matter to me
Reiteration of the protagonist's indifference to being called crazy.
Sit on your easy chair - listen to me!
Encouraging others to listen while sitting comfortably (repeated).
Batshit crazy I don't want to be
Reiteration of the protagonist's desire not to be crazy.
It was a late night movie on my colour TV
Highlighting the late-night movie on a color TV (repeated).
So come with me and be prepared
Invitation to join the protagonist and face the horrors in the movie.
Dead teenagers in their underwear
Graphic description of dead teenagers in their underwear.
Some come with me and don't be scared
Encouragement to join without fear.
Late night slasher movie
Repetition of the title, emphasizing the late-night slasher movie.
Late night slasher movie
Repetition of the title (repeated).
On my TV...
Ending with a reminder that it all happened on the protagonist's TV.
On your TV
Ending with a reminder that it could happen on the listener's TV.
