Everywhere I go and anywhere I see
There are monsters there looking for me
Hiding in the shadows, hiding in the dark
Trying to attack me here in the park.
They are flying high or creeping low
They are avoiding the slightest glow
They are coming from the gutter
Staying silent, whisper or mutter
I find a hideout in the light of the day
In places crowded is where I stay
Not safe for me to sleep
They will come out from their keep
I jump at the slightest squeak
And I get nervous when door hinges creak
Is it only me they are after
Am I the target of everyone's laughter
Every day and every night
There are monsters ready to bite
Their teeth are sharp and jaws are strong
Trying to catch me as I walk along
Along the sidewalk, road or river
I feel their presence it makes me shiver
Coming from the air, ground or water
Prepare for war, prepare for slaughter
I find a hideout in the light of the day
In places crowded is where I stay
It is not safe for me to sleep
They will come out from their keep
I jump at the slightest squeak
And I get nervous when door hinges creak
Is it only me they are after
Am I the target of everyone's laughter
Get out, get out, get out of my head
Get out, get out, get out of my bed
Leave me, leave me before I'm dead
Get out, get out, get out of my room
Leave me, leave me with my gloom
Stay in, stay in, stay in your tomb
I find a hideout in the light of the day
In places crowded is where I stay
It is not safe for me to sleep
They will come out from their keep
I jump at the slightest squeak
And I get nervous when door hinges creak
Is it only me they are after
Am I the target of everyone's laughter
