about

This song was inspired by a role-playing game.

lyrics

Someone called me from the darkness, and I answered quick and dumb,
And I reckon I'd be Vampire chow if rescue hadn't come.
Well, I hit the carpet running, and I didn't shut the door;
I don't think I'm going to answer when a stranger calls no more.

Cause I, bin there, dun that, learned what I should know.
Got the footprints on my tee-shirt, got the bruises I can show.
Yes I bin there, dun that, learned to recognize
When it's time to call for backup by the frenzy in their eyes.

I got called up on a werewolf when the moon was full and fair,
And I picked him up on second street and tracked him to his lair,
Now he's backed into the darkness and he's watching with a grin
I'm not dumb, I'm not expendable, and I'm not going in.

Wizards can be touchy and they don't have many fans
They're tight-lipped about their secrets & they're stingy with their plans
But if you wind up all scorched you only have yourself to blame
I don't recommend you push 'em when their hands are full of flame!

Now those old Egyptian curses, sure they've got no sense of style;
When you tangle with a mummy, you're tied up for quite a while.
It's as strong as a gorilla and as stubborn as a mule;
If you find another mummy, you can find another fool!
