lyrics

I hear him calling me
The spirit of that man
I try to tame the beast
Inside me best I can
Don’t wanna lose control
And let the ninja in
I’ve gotta do something
If I wanna stop him

As lights are dimming
And fog flows over the floor
I do the only thing
I think could win this war

I turn the radio up
Let that music play
And I try desperately to
Dance the hate away
Been training all my life
Hope it pays off today
As I try my damnedest to
Dance the hate away

The fridge is rolling round
Trying to block my way
The ninja making sure
That I can’t get away
So I just dive into
Aerobic exercise
Praying through my dancing
The spirits exorcised

The closet opens and to
Suck me in it tries
It’s like the ninja’s favorite
Movies poltergeist

I turn the radio up
Let that music play
And I try desperately to
Dance the hate away
Not sure it’s working but I
Won’t give up today
I’ll just keep on trying to
Dance the hate away

The sword is floating
Carried by two ghostly hands
How is he doing this
I’ll never understand

I turn the radio up
Let that music play
And I try desperately to
Dance the hate away
Right through my stereo
The sword slashes away
That’s when I realize I can’t
Dance the hate away
