I bet you sometimes wondered
What is standing right behind you
Keep looking over your shoulder to see if it's there
The solemn church bell pealing
some mephisophelean stealing
Quietly along through the night to hide under the bed
Don't ring for a taxi
Don't call a policeman
Don't send for a doctor he'll just give you pills
Don't hide in the cellar
You may not believe it believe it
It's probably friendly, just alone like you
You run upstairs and lie there
Waiting for the floor to creak and
Something goes bumpity bumpity bump up the stairs
The time has come to wonder
Who could be the owner of that cold clammy hand
That's exploring the end of the bed
Don't ring for a taxi
Don't call a policeman
Don't send for a doctor he'll just give you pills
Don't hide in the cellar
You may not believe it
It's probably friendly, just alone like you
So if you get lonely
Just think of the summer
And swimming in sky blue, drift your mind away
So when next time comes
You feel you're being followed by a
Ghoul with a highly intelligent flare for a bet
Just turn and lead it by the hand
And lead it home and tell it
Take
it
from
me
that
you
need
all
the
friends
you
can
get
Don't ring for a taxi
Don't call a policeman
Don't send for a doctor he'll just give you pills
Don't hide in the cellar
You may not believe it
It's probably friendly, just alone like you
So if you get lonely
Just think of the summer
And swimming in sky blue, drift your mind away
