Woke up in the middle
In the dead of the night
Had a gross nightmare
Hot a huge fright
Something is moving
'Cross the moonlight on the floor
It looks like this old ghost from my childhood Belphegor
My throat is dry, it can't be right
Just a shadow in the shade of the shadows at night
Something is lurking
Under my bed
Moving in the corner, is it a head?
Steps from the kitchen
Floorboards creaking loud
It's coming closer
I want to shout
Maybe it's the freezer, the ice breaking lose, right?
Just a shadow in the shade of the shadows at night
All the midnight monsters
Have gone home by 6 am
To whereever that is
There's no one else to blame
Now let me get some sleep, please!
I'm tired as a thousand bees
The bags under my eyes
Are hanging down to my knees
I can finally turn my back at the dawns early light
Just a shadow in the shade of the shadows at night
