Mister Babadook

Creak creak go the boards at the base of the stairs Up up jump the roots of my trembling hair Boom boom resounds a sound in the darkness somewhere Oh could it be my guest is here? Tick tock blares the clock I can no longer ignore Snip snap pops the latch of my powerless door Sick sick is the sensation salting my pores I've never hosted quite a guest before Hey Mr. Babadook (Dook dook dook) How do you do? He said I'm doing fine but don't be burnin' our time You know we've got some work to do Oh what a sight to see this dapper Shadow appear Perambulating undulating increasing near And following the ripened heightened scent of my fear A friend or foe? I'm not exactly clear Oh not a word was heard But when I shuddered a gasp He snapped back jet black tipping his hat The silence was excruciating I will admit I had to curb my quiet fit Hey Mr. Babadook (Dook dook dook) How do you do? He said I'm doing fine but don't be burnin' our time You know we've got some work to do Yeah! Good sir I sympathize that you're a bit paralyzed To see me standing here I understand your surprise But time is not an ally on my side I advise you let me out before my patience tries He drew a little closer and I noticed his face Resembled that of someone that I knew Right away I found myself standing eye to eye with the wraith Of my very own reflected rage Just a mirror and an empty gaze Just a man simply entertaining hate Feels like I've known you all my life (All my life) Seems a little bit silly that I was scared before How long were you waiting for me outside? (Me outside) I do apologize I've been a little down Let's go and hit the town and take a walk around I know a few people we can visit on tonight Visit on tonight Visit on tonight Visit on tonight Visit on tonight Visit on tonight Visit on tonight Visit on tonight Visit on tonight BA-BA DOOK! DOOK! DOOK!
