Step right up, little one, don't be afraid
I'm just a clown, here to entertain
Behind this mask, there's no darkness in my eyes
A twisted smile that hides my lies
I'm not the nightmare under your bed
Or the shadows living in your head
I won't make you scream or cry
You're not in danger, you won't die
Although I'm such a joker, and this could be a lie
Don't run as fast as you can
I won't catch you, my little lamb
Sure, you can escape the horror that I bring
I'm not here to hunt, I'm just here to sing
I'm not the nightmare under your bed
Or the shadows living in your head
I won't make you scream or cry
You're not in danger, you won't die
Although I'm such a joker, and this could be a lie
So sleep tight, my dear, don't weep
For in the darkness, something will creep
Your worst nightmare will come true
And there's nothing you can do
