Lyrics

Monsters Under The Bed

[Verse 1]

I think I saw it creepin' from the back of the room

Disguised as similar surprises with the rest of the ghouls

Leaving a silhouette, holding born to sworn to the cross

I think I'm gonna turn around and finally pull the mask off, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

And you won't hurt nobody 'cause I'm not scared of you

Exercise the fear about it every time I hear about it

And you may think I'm still the same

Dead silence in the plot, no, not today

[Chorus]

Got to turn on the lights

Monsters under the bed

Don't you dare let 'em hide

Monsters under the bed

Got to turn on the lights

Monsters under the bed

Don't you dare let 'em hide

Monsters under the bed

[Verse 2]

Still fear them in the present, oh yeah, who woulda knew?

Just like a tale from the crypt in 1972

You're moving fast, howling at me from the full moon

So I'll be sitting still with silver grills and Pedigree chew

[Pre-Chorus]

And you won't hurt nobody 'cause I'm not scared of you

Exercise the fear about it every time I hear about you

And you may think I'm still the same

Dead silence in the plot, no not today

[Chorus]

Got to turn on the lights

Monsters under the bed

Don't you dare let 'em hide

Monsters under the bed

Got to turn on the lights

Monsters under the bed

Don't you dare let 'em hide

Monsters under the bed

[Bridge]

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

[Chorus]

Got to turn on the lights

Monsters under the bed

Don't you dare let 'em hide

Monsters under the bed

Got to turn on the lights

Monsters under the bed

Don't you dare let 'em hide

Monsters under the bed
