It's only in your minds eye all these things you see Never ending noises but there's nothing there at all Quickly switch the light on an they seem to disappear But they'll be back again as soon as it gets dark Now you'll see the shadows move all across the room Some of them are staring back waiting in the gloom Heart beat races to a scream reaching critical Breathing heavy in cold sweat you can't control at all Ain't no use in hiding, ain't no use at all Nightmare cities, amusement parks Just afraid of the dark The curtains moving all too slow breathing in and out And it's now no use pretending they've seen your wide eyes shut Shivers running down your spine with a rhythm with your shout And now they're back again to take you in the dark Now you'll see the shadows move all across the room Some of them are staring back waiting in the gloom Heart beat races to a scream reaching critical Breathing heavy in cold sweat you can't control at all Ain't no use in hiding, ain't no use at all Nightmare cities, amusement parks Just afraid of the dark Afraid of the dark x6 Afraid of the dark x5
