They said it was paradise…
Sunshine, calm seas, nothing but blue skies.
But what they don't tell you… is what happens after dark.
When the music slows, and the masks come out,
And even the moon blushes at what it sees.
So if you came lookin' for peace and quiet,
You took the wrong flight, my friend.
We booked a trip to paradise, brochure said "calm and clear,"
Palm trees, beaches, sunsets — not a thing to fear.
Customs waved us through with a wink and grin,
Had no clue what world we were walkin' in.
Checked in late, front desk said, "You'll fit right in, you'll see,"
Then the lobby doors swung open… and winked right back at me.
Welcome to the /HEE-dun-iz-um/ horror show,
(horror show…)
Where the rum runs deep and the tempo's slow.
Everybody's free, no cares, no keys,
(no cares, no keys…)
Just souls in motion by the shining seas.
The masks came off, the moon rose free,
And some things, babe, you just can't unsee.
(can't unsee…)
Saw a vampire snorkelin' the coral reef,
A pirate wearin' pearls with disbelief.
Cupid lost his arrows but he still made plays,
A mermaid sang "Hot Stuff" through the ocean haze.
My baby whispered, "This ain't our beach,"
But the rhythm took hold — salvation in reach.
Ain't no sin in lettin' go,
(let it go…)
Ain't no rules where the rum drinks flow.
Full moon grinnin', hearts run free,
(run free…)
Findin' out what it means to be me.
When you dance that close, it's plain to see,
Some things, babe, you just can't unsee.
(can't unsee…)
Welcome to the /HEE-dun-iz-um/ horror show,

Where the rum runs deep and the tempo's slow.
Everybody's free, no cares, no keys,
(no cares, no keys…)
Just souls in motion by the shining seas.
The masks came off, the moon rose free,
And some things, babe, you just can't unsee.
(can't unsee…)
So raise your glass to the wild and free,
(to the wild and free…)
To the island night and its mystery.
We came for calm, but we found ecstasy,
Some things, babe, you just can't unsee.
(you just can't unsee…)
