  • Your comin' home - there's blood on the walls and charlie
    And the family made house calls. If you're alone then watch
    What you do 'cos charlie and the family might get you.

    Can you hear them in the darkness, helter skelter, spiral
    Madness, yeah, bloodbath in paradise, but there's no where
    You can run to baby, bloodbath in paradise, forever sleep in
    Paradise.

    California sun - but you're still in bed and the California rain
    Is turning red. No sign of life or the keepers of doom in
    Charlie and the keeper's scarlet room.

    Can you hear them in the darkness, helter skelter, spiral
    Madness, yah, bloodbath in paradise, but there's no where
    You can run to baby, bloodbath in paradise - forever sleep in
    Paradise.

    They'll summon you, to wake from the dead as you lie
    Bleeding, murdered in your bed. The sweetest dreams are all
    In your mind but no one wakes when charlie creeps behind,
    Yeah.

    Execution halts your breath, helter skelter spiral death,
    Bloodbath in paradise, but there's no where you break out baby,
    Bloodbath in paradise, forever sleep in paradise. Writer/s: JOHN OSBOURNE, JOHN TERENCE SINCLAIR, RANDOLPH FRANK CASTILLO, ROBERT DAISLEY, ZAKK WYLDE
