I was the boy who said all of my prayers
|
Laid my clean face on the pillow
|
Tucked in real tight, so safe and secure
|
Through the night
|
I heard a noise, it was probably nothing
|
It pulled me right out of a dream
|
If I knew it was you
|
I'd have jumped out of bed with a scream
|
|
I am the one who growls in your closet
|
I am the one who lives under your bed
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Get down - back where you started
|
Get down - back into hell
|
Your black soul, you know you're
|
black hearted
|
I smell your sulfurous smell
|
|
All of my things that I play with in daylight
|
You turn into monsters at night
|
My toys were my friends
|
Until you taught them all how to bite
|
|
You showed me things little boys
|
shouldn't see
|
You scared me with visions of fire
|
You danced on my bed
|
With the flames on your head dancing higher
|
|
I am the one who growls in your closet
|
I am the one who lives under your bed
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I tell ya right now
|
I don't want your reptile embrace
|
I don't want to follow you down
|
to your place
|
I don't want to be a child of disgrace
|
You can take your whiskey soaked, foaming
|
at the mouth, toilet talking, pea soup
|
spewing, sweating blood demon breath out
|
of my face
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I was the boy who said all of my prayers
|
Laid my clean face on the pillow
|
Tucked in real tight, so safe and secure
|
Through the night
|
