From the recording Reptiles and Monsters
This song is about the Wolf Man who was played by Lon Cheney in a series of Universal Horror films in the 1940s and 1950s. Lots of guitars and synths makes it musically a tribute to some of my favorite 80s goth rock bands such as Joy Division, Bahaus, and Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Lyrics
I’m a monster, please lock me up, don’t let me go out at night
Because I transform into a creature in the full moon’s awful light
Is there nothing I can do to make you see
I'm a menace to polite society
Because my claws are pretty deadly
Almost as deadly as my bite
I’m Larry Talbot, some call me the Wolf man
I try to do what’s right whenever I can
Nice guy by day, werewolf by night
If you saw me outside you’d have a fright
Under the full moon’s light
It all started when I took two girls out to have their fortunes read
That night it ended when a wolf attacked and one of them was dead
I tried to fight him off with my walking stick
But his bite turned me into a lunatic
Now my life is like a horror film
But it's my own self I dread
I’m Larry Talbot, some call me the Wolf man
I try to do what’s right whenever I can
Nice guy by day, werewolf by night
If you saw me outside you’d have a fright
Under the full moon’s light
Every full moon, I just black out and wake up in a ditch somewhere
And my hands are covered in blood, and gore, and dirt, and hair
And I know that public safety would be increased
If I was among the recently deceased
But I have heard there is a doctor
Who might provide me some health care
Poisonous fungus might be the cure
Growing in a secret cave
Dracula and Frankenstein’s monster
I must defeat if I want to save my life
I’m Larry Talbot, they called me the Wolf man
I try to do what’s right whenever I can
Nice guy again, werewolf no more
For lycanthropy there was a cure
In a cave down by the shore
Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night
May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the Autumn moon is bright
