lyrics

You can sleep with the lights on, check under your bed, no logic prayer or Boogie trap will save your sorry head... you can HIDE, hard as you can.. NO ESCAPE, she's the Boogieman...

I am the skeleton in the closet
You're afraid to lock away
Ridiculed, I'm not scary,
By the light of day

But YOU, hear me,
Have EVERY cause to fear me,
My ghost will go on,
But your heart won't!

You can sleep with the lights on, check under your bed, no logic prayer or Boogie trap will save your sorry head... you can HIDE, hard as you can.. NO ESCAPE, she's the Boogieman...

I am the shift in the shadows,
Dismissed but biding time,
The footsteps you ignore ,
The whispers in your mind,

Now you, hear me,
And know I am near thee,
"Do you have a message for us?"
YEAH! DIE!

You can sleep with the lights on, check under your bed, no logic prayer or Boogie trap will save your sorry head... you can HIDE, hard as you can.. NO ESCAPE, she's the Boogieman...

Monsters march at midnight,
Beware the dark that looms,
Hell hath no fury like,
ME, scorned by YOU,
My ashes on your mantle
Will NEVER be enough,
How dare you breathe,
How dare you love.
You promised,
When the reaper sang for me,
With bloody wrists in tow,
You'd follow and find me
And now a promise is a promise,
Even after death,
And now I'M BACK!
Your promise, I'll collect...

You can sleep with the lights on, check under your bed, no logic prayer or Boogie trap will save your sorry head... you can HIDE, hard as you can.. NO ESCAPE, she's the Boogieman...
