Monster in the Night I lie here in my bed at night And dream up grisly tales Of theives and ghosts and death and such And bite off all my nails The house is deathly quiet And I jump at every sound I sit up in my bed this time And slowly look around I bravely turn until my eyes Meet something in the night Then suddenly my body Becomes overcome with fright My neck hairs stand until on end My knees, they start to knock A chill is creeping up my spine My toes curl in their sock I know this has to be my mind As I still my shaking knee But wait, this sure can't be my mind It's staring back at me I stare at it in horror As I dream of being fought It seems like hours since I've moved Wait, I have a thought My fingers fumble through the air And rest on something long I gather up my nerve and then I flick the lightswitch on I stare and it stares back at me And then I start to grin For it had been the looking glass That I'd been looking in [Back]
