Lyrics:

Where Evil Grows (T. Jacks / London Records / Carlin America, Inc)

I like the way you smile at me.
I felt the heat that enveloped me.
And what saw I liked to see.
I never knew...where evil grew.

I should have steered away from you.
My friend told me to keep clear of you.
But something drew me near to you.
I never knew...where evil grew.

Evil grows in the dark
Where the sun, it never shines.
Evil grows in cracks and holes
And lives in people's minds.

Evil grew, it's part of you.
And now it seems to be,
That everytime I look at you
Evil grows...in me.

If I could build a wall around you
I could control the things that you do.
But I couldn't kill the will within you
And it never shows
The place where evil grows.

Evil grows in the dark
Where the sun, it never shines.
Evil grows in cracks and holes
And lives in people's minds.

Evil grew, it's part of you.
And now it seems to be,
That everytime I look at you
Evil grows... in me.
