Lyrics

[Intro]

Tonight's story is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction

A monster had arrived in the village

The major ingredient of any recipe for fear is the unknown

And this person, or thing, is soon to be met

He knows every thought, he can feel every emotion

Oh, yes, I did forget something, didn't I? I forgot to introduce you to the monster

[Verse 1]

You're fearing me 'cause you know I'm a beast

Watchin' you when you sleep, when you're in bed, I'm underneath

You're trapped in halls, and my face is the walls

I'm the floor when you fall, and when you scream, it's 'cause of me

[PreChorus]

I'm the living dead, the dark thoughts in your head

I heard just what you said, that's why you've got to be threatened by me

[Chorus]

You should be watchin' me

You should feel threatened

While you sleep, while you creep

You should be threatened

Every time your lady speaks

She speaks to me, threatened

Half of me, you'll never be

So you should feel threatened by me

[Verse 2]

You think you're by yourself, but it's my touch you felt

I'm not a ghost from hell, but I've got a spell on you

Your worst nightmare, it's me, I'm everywhere (Everywhere)

In one blink, I'll disappear and then I'll come back to haunt you

[PreChorus]

I'm tellin' you, when you lie under tomb

I'm the one watchin' you, that's why you got to be threatened by me (No, no)

[Chorus]

You should be watchin' me

You should feel threatened

While you sleep, while you creep

You should be threatened

Every time your lady speaks

She speaks to me, threatened

Half of me, you'll never be

So you should be threatened by me

[Verse 3]

The unknown monster is about to embark

From a far corner, out of the dark

A nightmare, that's the case

Never Neverland, that's the place

This particular monster can read minds

Be in two places at the same time

This is judgment night, execution, slaughter

The devil, ghosts, this monster is torture

You can be sure of one thing, that's fate

A human presence that you feel is strange

A monster that you can see disappear

A monster, the worst thing to fear

[Chorus]

You should be watchin' me

You should feel threatened (No, no, baby)

While you sleep, while you creep

You should be threatened (Yeah)

Every time your lady speaks

She speaks to me, threatened

Half of me, you'll never be

So you should be threatened

[Refrain]

You should be threatened

While you sleep, threatened

Every time, you should feel threatened

Half of me, threatened by me

So you should feel threatened by me

[Chorus]

You should be watchin' me

You should feel threatened (No, no, know it)

While you sleep, while you creep

You should be threatened (Yeah)

Every time your lady speaks

She speaks to me, threatened

Half of me, you'll never be (And you, threatened by me)

So you should be threatened

[Chorus]

You should be watchin' me (Come on, baby)

You should feel threatened (Yeah)

While you sleep, while you creep

You should be threatened

Every time your lady speaks (I ain't threatened)

She speaks to me, threatened (I ain't threatened)

Half of me, you'll never be

So you should be threatened by me

[Outro]

What you have just witnessed

Could be the end of a particularly terrifying nightmare

It isn't

It's the beginning
