[Verse 1]
This used to be a place where dreams would come to life on silver screens
But then something went terribly wrong
The people that were drawing toons would become victims very soon
When their own creations grew too strong

[Pre-Chorus]
And every stain (hey, hey) on the floor
And every room of pain that you explore
There's only terror that waits for you
Decaying dreams and nothing more
Where animated nightmares hide

[Chorus]
But still something
Keeps you going farther down, down
Getting out gets harder
It's happening again
Welcome to the show
It's happening again
Another chapter
The devil that lives in the ink isn't letting you go

[Verse 2]
Started up the ink machine that played the secret melody
And look at where its gotten you now
Stuck in a factory of toys, the fallen angel's errand boy
With fading hope to ever get out
[Pre-Chorus]
Another stage (hey, hey) of remorse
And tidal waves of pain are still in store
There's only terror there that waits for you
Decaying dreams and nothing more
Where animated nightmares hide

[Chorus]
But still something
Keeps you going farther down, down
Getting out gets harder
It's happening again
Welcome to the show
It's happening again
Another chapter
The devil that lives in the ink isn't letting you go

[Spoken:]
So you came back to your old workplace, eh?
Well has Joey Drew got a surprise for you
Ha, ha, ha, ha

[Verse 3: Alice Angel (Nina Zeitlin)]
Looks like you have a date with an angel
I've got things for you to do so don't test my patience
You're a fly caught in my web
Follow every word I said
Even if it strikes you dead
I will be beautiful again
[Bridge]
Run and run and run another chapter
You're trapped, you're trapped, you're trapped
In another chapter

[Chorus]
But still something
Keeps you going farther down, down
Getting out gets harder
It's happening again
Welcome to the show
It's happening again
Another chapter
The devil that lives in the ink isn't letting you go
