Album: Martha Splatterhead's Maddest Stories Ever Told (1988)

Scared Of The Dark

Disguised as the beast
In the shadows I sit
Lurking in the dark
I'm the fears in your mind
I've got you on the run
You're scared to death
Like a beast in the cellar
The fears in your mind

I'm the barbed hook
The needle in the hay
A fence enclosing your dreams
The fears in your mind
You tell yourself
You must mow down this thing
Destroy the emotions
That plague your thoughts

Scared of the dark
Why don't you
Stay awake
A little bit longer
The next time
You fall asleep
It may be forever
Scared of the dark
