    Or simply an Oklahoma love song (The Nixons were formed at OU, I believe.)

    The Nixons' "Sister"

    Here I am again,
    Overwhelming feelings
    A thousand miles away
    From your ocean home
    Part of me is near

    Thoughts of what we were invade
    The miles that stand between
    We can't separate
    Your all I hoped you'd become

    Sister I see you
    Dancing on the stage
    Of memory
    Sister I miss you

    Fleeting visits pass
    Still they satisfy
    Reminders of the next
    Overshadow goodbye
    Our flames burn as one

    Sister I see you
    Dancing on the stage
    Of memory
    Sister I miss you

    All I am begins with you
    Thoughts of hope understood
    Half of me breathes in you
    Thoughts of love remain true

    Here we are again saying goodbye
    Still we fall asleep underneath the same sky
    You're all I knew you'd become

    Sister I see you
    Dancing on the stage
    Of memory
    Sister I miss you

    Entwined, you and I
    Our souls speak from across the miles
    Intertwined, you and I
    Our blood flows from the same inside
    Half of me, breathes in you
    Thoughts of love remain true

    I see you, I feel you
    When I close my eyes
    I see walking there...
    I see you dancing in my mind

    She must be a really good stripper for him to write a song about her dances.

    I thought seeing The Stones do "Midnight Rambler" live was creepy.

    Seeing Bloodrock do "D. O. A." would qualify as would Alice Cooper's live show with "Welcome To My Nightmare."

    "Screamin'" Jay Hawkins was pretty creepy when he rose from his coffin to sing "I Pur A Spell On You."

    I have been lucky enough to have seen all that creepy stuff in concert over the years.

    Aqualung is pretty creepy, with some gross imagery.

    'Lola' by The Kinks always gave off that vibe- the way the big reveal of the song catches the narrator by the end.

    Tyler by the Toadies

    IMO, it is a song about the fantasy of a rapist, who is infatuated with his victim.

    I agree with DOA, but only the old timers will remember that one.

    Stranglehold by Ted Nugent was a little creepy to me.

    Especially, "Jigsaw Girl"

    Give me your hand and I will hold it forever
    On my nightstand in a box with your love letters
    I love you dear, and I know we will not be parted
    I'll keep you near, scattered around my apartment
    This is not the same world you lived in
    And I could breathe easier once I brought you back again
    You are not the same girl you had been
    I promised I'd never lose you

    Give me your hair, just a lock will do
    An old photograph to capture the spirit of you
    And I'll keep these things wrapped up in an old cotton blouse
    The one you wore that summer before your love petered out
    This is not the same world you lived in
    And I could breathe easier once I brought you back again
    You are not the same girl you had been
    I promised I'd never lose you

    Laid on my bed
    A beautiful mess
    My whole world
    Jigsaw girl
    You gave me your hand
    You gave me your hand
    I don't understand why you don't want it back

    This is not the same world you lived in
    And I could breathe easier once I brought you back again
    You are not the same girl you had been
    I promised I'd never lose you
    Honey I tell you true I'll never lose you..

    Benny Mardones' "Into The Night"

    She's just sixteen years old
    Leave her alone, they say
    Separated by fools
    Who don't know what love is yet
    But I want you to know

    If I could fly
    I'd pick you up
    I'd take you into the night
    And show you a love
    Like you've never seen, ever seen

    It's like having a dream
    Where nobody has a heart
    It's like having it all
    And watching it fall apart
    And I would wait till the end
    Of time for you
    And do it again, it's true
    I can't measure my love
    There's nothing to compare it to
    But I want you to know

    If I could fly
    I'd pick you up
    I'd take you into the night
    And show you a love
    Oooooh, if I could fly
    I'd pick you up
    I'd take you into the night
    And show you a love
    Like you've never seen, ever seen
    Yeah, Ooooooh....

    this title goes to the police, but i'm not sure if its for 'every breath you take' or for 'don't stand so close to me'.

    I love Violent Femmes. But since I have two daughters I cannot listen to this song, only song of theirs not on my ipod.

    Country Death Song
    I had me a wife, I had me some daughters.
    I tried so hard, I never knew still waters.
    Nothing to eat and nothing to drink.
    Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think.
    Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think.

    Well, Im a thinkin and thinkin, till theres nothin I aint thunk.
    Breathing in the stink, till finally I stunk.
    It was at that time, I swear I lost my mind.
    I started making plans to kill my own kind.
    I started making plans to kill my own kind.

    Come little daughter, I said to the youngest one,
    Put your coat on, well have some fun.
    Well go out to mountains, the one to explore.
    Her face then lit up, I was standing by the door.
    Her face then lit up, I was standing by the door.

    Come little daughter, I will carry the lanterns.
    Well go out tonight, well go to the caverns.
    Well go out tonight, well go to the caves.
    Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves.
    Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves.

    A led her to a hole, a deep black well.
    I said make a wish, make sure and not tell and
    Close youre eyes dear, and count to seven.
    You know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven.
    You know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven.

    I gave her a push, I gave her a shove.
    I pushed with all my might, I pushed with all my love.
    I through my child into a bottomless pit.
    She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit.
    She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit.

    Gather round boys to this tale that I tell.
    You wanna know how to take a short trip to hell?
    Its guarenteed to get your own place in hell.
    Just take your lovely daughter and push her in the well.
    Take your lovely daughter and throw her in the well.

    Dont speak to me of lovers, with a broken heart.
    You wanna know what can really tear you apart?
    Im going out to the barn, will I never stop in pain?
    Im going out to the barn, to hang myself in shame.

    Blind Melon's "Skinned"

    You know the local made ones would be nice
    to see a little Dahmer like you
    walking around with a couple of hammers like that
    At least Ed Gein would
    Ed Gein was a very good fellow you know
    I'll make a shoehorn outta your skin
    I'll make a lampshade of durable skin
    And oh, don't you know that I'm always feelin' able
    When I'm sittin' home and I'm carving out your navel
    When will I realize that this skin I'm in
    Hey, it isn't mine
    And when will the kill be too much meat for me to hide on
    Hey, I could really use a couple of hands
    To complete one hell of a plant stand
    Oh, don't you know that I'm caught here in the middle
    Making rib cages into coffee tables
    And when I realize that this skin I'm in
    Hey, it isn't mine
    And when will the thrill be too much meat for me to find anymore
    Oh, because you know I can't hide
    But oh how hard I try
    But this is just the shape I'm in, oh yeah
    And though you know I can't hide
    But oh how hard I try
    But this is just the shape I'm in

    Steve Poltz - "Dahmer Song"

    I peel off your skin for a fleshy McTreat.
    I fry it in a pan and it don’t taste like meat…it tastes salty...a little bit malty.
    I open the fridge for a tropical flair, your head tumbles out and rolls right down my stairs…with no eyeballs.
    Must be in that guy’s soup in the foyer…I better contact my lawyer.

    What -- no love for "Enter Sandman?" "One?"

    Other thoughts:

    Black Sabbath -- "N.I.B.", "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" or "Electric Funeral Pyre"

    Johnny Cash (yeah, he's not really rock, but he's everywhere) -- "Delia"

    someone mentenioned "EVery Breath You Take" -- another by the Police is "DOn't Stand So CLose to Me" -- not scary, but creepy given the subject matter
