I was the boy who said all of my prayers
   Laid my clean face on the pillow
   Tucked in real tight, so safe and secure
   Through the night
   I heard a noise, it was probably nothing
   It pulled me right out of a dream
   If I knew it was you
   I'd have jumped out of bed with a scream
  
   I am the one who growls in your closet
   I am the one who lives under your bed
  
   Get down - back where you started
   Get down - back into hell
   Your black soul, you know you're
   black hearted
   I smell your sulfurous smell
  
   All of my things that I play with in daylight
   You turn into monsters at night
   My toys were my friends
   Until you taught them all how to bite
  
   You showed me things little boys
   shouldn't see
   You scared me with visions of fire
   You danced on my bed
   With the flames on your head dancing higher
  
   I am the one who growls in your closet
   I am the one who lives under your bed
  
   Get down - back where you started
   Get down - back into hell
   Your black soul, you know you're
   black hearted
   I smell your sulfurous smell
  
   I tell ya right now
   I don't want your reptile embrace
   I don't want to follow you down
   to your place
   I don't want to be a child of disgrace
   You can take your whiskey soaked, foaming
   at the mouth, toilet talking, pea soup
   spewing, sweating blood demon breath out
   of my face
  
   Get down - back where you started
   Get down - back into hell
   Your black soul, you know you're
   black hearted
   I smell your sulfurous smell
  
   I was the boy who said all of my prayers
   Laid my clean face on the pillow
   Tucked in real tight, so safe and secure
   Through the night
