lyrics

Two nights ago as I was walking through
the path back from your place, the way that I knew
would get me back to bed, I took the nearest avenue.
Then it came at me and took me by surprise,
this creature with glowing big red eyes.

You don't understand.

I went to run, I tried to cry
but the only thing that happened was a whimpery sigh
Like a giant fist that grabbed me,
The fear it kept me on place and then it hit me
The creature kept walking straight on through
but it wasn't after me, it was after you.

Outside the rain pours with people sleeping indoors
Running down to the place you stay, I've got to find a way
To beat it there and fight it off, I wonder why you pissed it off
Running down to the place you stay, I've got to find a way
And oh, what this mighty creature will try to do next
It's got me scared from my feet to my neck
I've got to try and keep its eyes in check
Tell me what I've got to do next?

So what you know, I managed to beat that vicious creature back
and never again in the avenue was it to show
And I guess this is where the story ends,
but there's one more thing to tell you know my friend:
It'll never end,
Cause in the end, locked up in a police station
A prisoner of my imagination, it depends.
And I guess that the jury will decide
but there's no more need for me to run and hide.

Outside the rain pours with people sleeping indoors
Running down to the place you stay, I've got to find a way
To beat it there and fight it off, I wonder why you pissed it off
Running down to the place you stay, I've got to find a way
And oh, what this mighty creature will try to do next
It's got me scared from my feet to my neck
I've got to try and keep its eyes in check
Tell me what I've got to do next?
