All alone with your princess phone All alone in your room except for me Think you know, think you’re in control That’ll all change when you wake up next to me Cause the werewolf of love’s on the prowl again And I’m coming straight for you You won't know how where or why or when Or understand just what I’ll do When the werewolf of love’s at the door I’m not a guest you can ignore But when I leave you won’t ever be the same again Hot red rain and you’re not the same Feelings too fierce for your heart to comprehend Hide in bed, but I’m in your head Crawl under the sheets, but I’m not playing pretend Cause the werewolf of love’s on the prowl again And I’m coming straight for you You won't know how where or why or when Or understand just what I’ll do When the werewolf of love’s at the door I’m not a guest you can ignore But when I leave you won’t ever be the same again Knock, knock! Lemme in! I'm not the big bad wolf - I'm the beast within. I’ll leave roses in your bedroom I’ll leave carnations in your bathroom Cause the werewolf of love’s on the prowl again And I’m coming straight for you You won't know how where or why or when Or understand just what I’ll do When the werewolf of love’s at the door I’m not a guest you can ignore But when I leave you won’t ever be the same again

When the corridors are dark And the planet’s just an arc Light in the atmosphere I drift along the pods, And gaze just slightly awed At the emptiness so near I heard them call you fake, So why am I still shaking, From feeling you nearby? They say you don’t exist, But I still dream of kiss-ing You, like in my mind’s eye Even in the airless void I feel your radiation Don’t know if you’re humanoid But I have such temptation Like the glow from living pearls These nightly sweet flirtations Just two very lonely girls On a haunted space station Are you living or a ghost I think I know, almost, Perhaps I’m just a fool You come from distant stars The station, though, is ours My precious stellar jewel Even in the airless void I feel your radiation Don’t know if you’re humanoid But I have such temptation Like the glow from living pearls These nightly sweet flirtations Just two very lonely girls On a haunted space station Even in the airless void I feel your radiation Don’t know if you’re humanoid But I have such temptation Like the glow from living pearls These nightly sweet flirtations Just two very lonely girls On a haunted space station

about

It's been a little while since we did a holiday release of any sort, and we thought...why not do a Halloween song? That "Halloween song" soon turned into a Halloween EP, including a track that didn't sound like a Crystal Furs song, so we made a whole new band for it and decided to do a split release!

Two brand-new spooky scary Crystal Furs songs - "Werewolf of Love" and "Haunted Space" - plus a dark, distorted, creepy multi-movement instrumental from our new side project New Charms, "Three Two Eight," are here for your creepy crawly Halloween enjoyment.
