Deadly Nightshade Lyrics
Come now my lovely, won’t you
Take a midnight stroll with me?
Through the misty air the things
I keep I shouldn’t dare
My garden’s so inviting, and its
Deadly blooms are hiding
Be careful what you touch
Lest the grave is what you lust
Draw the blinds, you’re getting tired
Paralyzed, don’t close your eyes
Gripped with fear, your dreams become nightmares
From the Deadly Nightshade
Each night at midnight
Dating back into the fog of time
Another victim falls
The things I’ve done; the voices call
The Hourglass runs out on us
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The killers must be fed, the soil is red
Now that you’re dead
Draw the blinds, you’re getting tired
Paralyzed, don’t close your eyes
Gripped with fear, your dreams become nightmares
From the Deadly Nightshade
Draw the blinds, you’re getting tired
Paralyzed, don’t close your eyes
Gripped with fear, your dreams become nightmares
From the Deadly Nightshade
Delirium – your burning throat
Mania – your heart rate soars
Hallucination – you’re losing your mind
Suffocation – cannot breathe; you’re going blind
Draw the blinds, you’re getting tired
Paralyzed, don’t close your eyes
Gripped with fear, your dreams become nightmares
From the Deadly Nightshade
Draw the blinds, you’re getting tired
Paralyzed, don’t close your eyes
Gripped with fear, your dreams become nightmares
From the Deadly Nightshade
Take a midnight stroll with me?
Through the misty air the things
I keep I shouldn’t dare
Deadly blooms are hiding
Be careful what you touch
Lest the grave is what you lust
Paralyzed, don’t close your eyes
Gripped with fear, your dreams become nightmares
From the Deadly Nightshade
Dating back into the fog of time
Another victim falls
The things I’ve done; the voices call
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The killers must be fed, the soil is red
Now that you’re dead
Paralyzed, don’t close your eyes
Gripped with fear, your dreams become nightmares
From the Deadly Nightshade
Paralyzed, don’t close your eyes
Gripped with fear, your dreams become nightmares
From the Deadly Nightshade
Mania – your heart rate soars
Hallucination – you’re losing your mind
Suffocation – cannot breathe; you’re going blind
Paralyzed, don’t close your eyes
Gripped with fear, your dreams become nightmares
From the Deadly Nightshade
Paralyzed, don’t close your eyes
Gripped with fear, your dreams become nightmares
From the Deadly Nightshade

Probably about a man who enjoys killing young women by poisoning them. The deadly nightshade is a poisonous plant whose scientific name is atropa belladonna. Delirium, mania, hallucination and suffocation are all symptoms produced by deadly nightshade poisoning.
Maybe it has to do with the date rape drug, along with what Marquez was saying
I had this feeling it had soemthing to do with vampires. Although yours make sense.

I had to look this one up. Like others have said, Deadly Nightshade is Atropa belladonna. What struck me about the song was that it sounds like the person in the song doesn't force the deadly nightshade on the person. "The things I've done" comes after "be careful what you touch" and the "victim falls". Maybe I am taking it too literally.
ScorpioN on the site Megadeth.com says the laughter at the beginning of the song and the spoken lines "I don't know what's come over me all of a sudden I feel like I need to lie down" are Electra Mustaine, Dave's daughter.
