Lights Out

Last lights out
Theyre all abed
And somethings in my room
Creeping down towards me on the wall
Daddy said its just some flickering
Headlight through the gloom
Making shapes through trees outside the hall
But what the hell does he know?
He doesnt feel the dread
The cold restricting terror in the dark
Ive seen that silhouette before
Something the newsman said
Something about some monster in the park
Chorus:
Its you, youre the man on the tv screen
Its you front page face of the dead
Locked up in the light of day
At night come out to play
To terrorize me there above my bed
The air is still and heavy now
Theres thunder in the sky
Hes dreaming up some message he can send
Im scared completely helpless
And I think Im going to cry
Are grownups brave or do they just pretend?
His face is growing clearer
I can see his eyes glow red
My teddy bears the only friend I can feel
The shadows hand slips down the wall
And touches teddys head
I now suspect that shadow will touch me
Chorus
Repeat chorus
Its you...
