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
