3 A.M. lyrics

[Intro]

There is no escaping (Yo)

There's no place to hide (Ayo)

You scream, "Someone save me!" (Yo)

But they don't pay no mind (Ayo)

Goodnight, goodbye!

[Verse 1]

You're walkin' down a horror corridor

It's almost four in the mornin' and you're in a

Nightmare, it's horrible, right there's the coroner

Waiting for ya to turn the corner so he can corner ya

You're a goner, he's onto ya

Out the corner of his cornea, he just saw ya run

All you want is to rest 'cause you can't run anymore, you're done

All he wants is to kill you in front of an audience

While everybody is watching in the party, applauding it

Here I sit, while I'm caught up in deep thought again

Contemplating my next plot again

Swallowin' a Klonopin while I'm noddin' in and out on the ottoman

At the Ramada Inn, holding onto the pill bottle, then

Lick my finger and swirl it 'round the bottom

And make sure I got all of it

Wake up naked at McDonald's with

Blood all over me, dead bodies behind the counter, shit

Guess I must've just blacked out again—not again!

[Hook]

It's 3 a.m. in the mornin'

Put my key in the door and

Bodies layin' all over the floor and

I don't remember how they got there

But I guess I must've killed 'em, killed 'em

I said, it's 3 a.m. in the mornin'

Put my key in the door and

Bodies layin' all over the floor and

I don't remember how they got there

But I guess I must've killed 'em, killed 'em

[Verse 2]

Sitting nude in my living room, it's almost noon

I wonder what's on the tube, maybe they'll show some boobs

Surfing every channel until I find Hannah Montana then

I reach for the aloe and lanolin, bust all over the wall panellin'

Dismantlin' every candle on top of the fireplace mantel and

Grab my flannel and my bandana, then

Kiss the naked mannequin man again

You can see him standin' in my front window if you look in

I'm just a hooligan who's used to using hallucinogens

Causin' illusions again, brain contusions again

Cutting and bruising the skin, razors, scissors, and pins

Jesus, when does it end? Phases that I go through

Dazed and I'm so confused

Days that I don't know who gave these molecules to

Me, what am I gon' do?

Hey, the prodigal son, the diabolical one

Very methodical when I slaughter them

[Hook]

It's 3 a.m. in the mornin'

Put my key in the door and

Bodies layin' all over the floor and

I don't remember how they got there

But I guess I must've killed 'em, killed 'em

I said, it's 3 a.m. in the mornin'

Put my key in the door and

Bodies layin' all over the floor and

I don't remember how they got there

But I guess I must've killed 'em, killed 'em

[Bridge]

She puts the lotion in the bucket

It puts the lotion on the skin

Or else it gets the hose again

She puts the lotion in the bucket

It puts the lotion on the skin

Or else it gets the hose again

[Verse 3]

I cut and I slash, slice and gash, last night was a blast

I can't quite remember when I had that

Much fun off a half-pint of the Jack, my last Vic and-a-half

A flashlight up Kim Kardashian's ass

I remember the first time I dismembered a family member

December, I think it was, I was having drinks with my cousin

I wrapped him in Christmas lights

Pushed him into the stinkin' tub, cut him up into pieces

And just when I went to drink his blood

I thought, "I oughta drink his bathwater, that oughta be fun"

That's when my days of serial murder manslaughter begun

The sight of blood excites me, that might be an artery, son

Your blood-curdling screams just don't seem to bother me none

It's 3 a.m. and here I come, so you should probably run

A secret passageway around here, man, there's got to be one

Oh no, there's probably none

He can scream all that he wants, top of his lungs

But ain't no stopping me from chopping him up-up, 'cause…

[Hook]

It's 3 a.m. in the mornin'

Put my key in the door and

Bodies layin' all over the floor and

I don't remember how they got there

But I guess I must've killed 'em, killed 'em

I said, it's 3 a.m. in the mornin'

Put my key in the door and

Bodies layin' all over the floor and

I don't remember how they got there

But I guess I must've killed 'em, killed 'em

[Outro]

Yo, yo, ayo (Evil… rise)

Yo, yo, ayo (Evil… rise)

Yo, yo, ayo (Evil… rise)

Yo, yo, ayo (Evil… rise)

(Evil… rise)

(Evil… rise)
