The Horror The Horror

There's a boogeyman lurking outside my door And I can hear him breathe You say he's not real, but there's something going on outside That old boogeyman's lurking outside my door And I can see his shadow Yes I can see his shadow Oh I can see his shadow I'm pretty safe right now but I'm sure this lock won't last until I die 'Till the day I die Dread me, dread me, dread me, dread me, dread me He's coming back To my life There's a woman with a dagger outside my door, She's cut my neck before I best remember that Before I open it up That old girl's gonna show up around my place And I can see her shadow Oh I can see her shadow Oh I can see And on the day she shows her face, I'm not sure if I'll make love to her Or if I'll call the cops I better call the cops Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me She's coming back To my life Oh, that old man in the mirror His face is red Oh, that old man in the mirror And the places he could have gone Had he only sang his song Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh Oh oh oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh And I'm afraid of the light And I'm afraid of tomorrow I'm afraid of being alone Cause I'm afraid of the nerds And I'm afraid of the preps I'm afraid of the things I might forget I'm afraid of the love I might not get I'm afraid of the folks that I forgave And I'm afraid of the memories I save I'm afraid when the nurse says open wide I'm afraid of the ugliness inside Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh (The horror, The horror)
