Run and exit screaming
If you see a stranger,
When you see a stranger
Break into your room
’Cause somehow you know,
You know even then
That he'll try to beat you
Again and again.

Run and exit screaming
’Specially if he’s laughing,
You may hear him laughing
It’s the sound of doom
And night after night,
As bad as it seems
The sound of his laughter
Will sound in your dreams.

Shrinks can explain it,
Shrinks can tell you why.
Shrinks give you reasons,
So what, so can I.

Run and exit screaming
If he’s wearing black gloves,
When you hear him call you
It’s the sound of doom,
Run, flee from his sight,
And hide on your own
Or all through your life you
May hurt all alone.

Never let him find you,
Never leave a clue.
Never let him find you,
Nightmares can come true.
