[Rod Serling]
Tonight's story is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introducing
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 [Fm7]to [C7]intɾoduce you [A7to [C7]the monster.
You're fearing me, 'cause you [A7know I'm a beast
Watching you [A7when you [A7sleep, when you're in bed
I'm underneath
You're tɾapped in halls, and [Bm]my [A]face is the walls
I'm the floor when you [A7fall, and [Bm]when you [A7scream it's â??cause of me
I'm the living dead, the dark thoughts in your head
I know just what you [A7said
That's why you've got [Fm7]to [C7]be [Am]threatened by me
[Chorus]
You should be [Am]watching me, you [A7should feel threatened
Why you [A7sleep, why you [A7creep, you [A7should be [Am]threatened
Every time your lady speaks she speaks to [C7]me, threatened
Half of me you'll never be, so you [A7should feel threatened by me
You think you're by yourself, but it's my [A]touch you [A7felt
I'm not a ghost from Hell, but I've got [Fm7]a spell on [C7]you
In one blink I'll disappear, and [Bm]then I'll come back to [C7]haunt you
I'm telling you, when you [A7lie under a tomb
I'm the one watching you
That's why you [A7got [Fm7]to [C7]be [Am]threatened by me
[Chorus]
The unknown monster is about to [C7]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 ɾead minds
Be in tow places at the same time
This is judgment night, execution, slaughter
The devil, ghosts, this monster is torture
You can be [Am]sure of one thing, that's fate
A human presence that you [A7feel is stɾange
A monster that you [A7can see disappear
A monster, the worst thing to [C7]fear.
[Chorus: x3]
What you [A7have just witnessed could be [Am]the end of a particularly terrifying nightmare.
It isn't. It's the beginning.
