Knock, knock, knock
Will you open the door?
Invite him in
And beg him for more?
Close your eyes, count to ten
Pray to God you won't wake up again
Haunted by this apathy
Infiltrated by what you cannot see
We're divided like oceans and sky
Hating them all
Berating them all
Just who is the enemy?
(Let me in, let me in, let me in)
Evil encompassing hearts
Keeping us at odds, holding us apart
We think we know it all
What is love, what is sin
All of us tired from the drugs we're fed
Please wake up from this hell we're in
The closet door creaking open
Don't say a word
But in the silence
You know it has heard
He's here with you
Now you can't decide
Whether to tell him to go
Or run and hide
It's fight or flight
Do or die
You will be afraid
When he eats your insides
Ba-ba-dook-DOOK-DOOK!
Close the book
Don't let him inside
He's devoid of life
He'll consume you alive
(Let me in, let me in, let me in)
Evil encompassing hearts
Keeping us at odds, holding us apart
We think we know it all
What is love, what is sin
All of us tired from the drugs we're fed
It's time to wake up from this hell we're in
Don't let him in
With his sneaky grin
He's quite a kook
That Mister Babadook
