Lyrics[]
He's a creature from deep down in the ocean
He's been dreaming while we sleep of that deadly potion
That will have all his enemies falling at his feet
And put his name on every neon sign from people's square to 42nd Street
He is Dave
He's riding the wave of evil
You can run
You can hide
He'll smell the fear in your eyes
He is Dave
He's going to hunt down our friends
Dressed in black and white
Better run for your life
He's turning the day into night
He's out of his mind
Demented with jealousy
In his eyes I see vengeance and lunacy
He can instill more terror than ten thousand goliaths can
He's a tyrant, a crazy animal
Like a maniac leviathan
With a terrifying master plan
He is Dave
He's riding the wave of evil
You can run
You can hide
He'll smell the fear in your eyes
He is Dave
He's going to hunt down our friends
Dressed in black and white
Better run for their lives
He's turning the day into night
He is Dave (Dave)
He is Dave
(He is Dave)
You can run
You can hide
He'll smell the fear in your eyes
He is Dave
He's going to hunt down our friends
Dressed in black and white
Better run for their lives
He's turning the day into night
He is Dave
(He is Dave)
He is Dave
(He is Dave)
That evil genius Dave
