On nights like tonight,
He grins his crooked grin;
Pretending to watch over you
But oh- he's scheming to win.
He hides in the dim shadows
Waiting for the perfect moment
To jump and scare you to death
He'll try to get in your head.
He knows all sorts of venues
Leading to your sweet dreams,
Enters and turns them all to
Nightmares shaped by his schemes.
You'll wake up without a heart
Amidst his haunting laughter.
He'll shape an alibi befitted
The crime he's just committed.
So on nights like tonight,
Recite your favorite mantra
To keep your mind off limits;
So that he can't pay his visit.
