|
Last light's out |
|
They're all abed |
|
And something's in my room |
|
Creeping down towards me on the wall |
|
Daddy said it's just some flickering |
|
Headlight through the gloom |
|
Making shapes through trees outside the hall |
|
But what the hell does he know? |
|
He doesn't feel the dread |
|
The cold restricting terror in the dark |
|
I've seen that silhouette before |
|
Something the newsman said |
|
Something about some monster in the park |
|
Chorus: |
|
It's you, you're the man on the tv screen |
|
It's you front page face of the dead |
|
Locked up in the light of day |
|
At night come out to play |
|
To terrorize me there above my bed |
|
The air is still and heavy now |
|
There's thunder in the sky |
|
He's dreaming up some message he can send |
|
I'm scared completely helpless |
|
And i think i'm going to cry |
|
Are grownups brave or do they just pretend? |
|
His face is growing clearer |
|
I can see his eyes glow red |
|
My teddy bear's the only friend i can feel |
|
The shadow's hand slips down the wall |
|
And touches teddy's head |
|
I now suspect that shadow will touch me |
|
Chorus |
|
Repeat chorus |
|
It's you... |
