Well, all through that movie

The sound came more and more

Sounds like tapping on the window

It sounds like footsteps

across the floor

Knew that it was watching me

As I figured in my head

How long it would take

to flip the switch

and run to bed

But you better not

You won't see me move no faster

than when I jump in bed.

Won't see my face till morning,

I keep my covers across my head.

Gets kinda hot and stuffy

while I pray for my soul.

So I don't get to how to

make a little breathing hole,

Well, I found out where his dungeon is

My brother bargained hard in his teens

But he spilled the beans

for three steelies

And a

Willie

Mays card

He said, go down the

Taylor

Swamp

Through the tangled vines and mud

And call the sound of his faucets

They're always dripping blood

Don't you know his dungeon's

made of fingernails and bones

From all the kids he drug from beds and

tracked them to their homes

He's got little legs on his tables,

little hands on his clumsy

Take a couple of belly buttons and you

stretch them out for socks
