Last light's out 

They're all abed 

And something's in my room 

Creeping down towards me on the wall 



Daddy said it's just some flickering 

headlight through the gloom 

Making shapes through trees outside the hall 



But what the hell does he know? 

He doesn't feel the dread 

The cold restricting terror in the dark 



I've seen that silhouette before 

Something the newsman said 

Something about some monster in the park 



Chorus: 

It's you, you're the man on the TV screen 

It's you front page face of the dead 

Locked up in the light of day 

At night come out to play 

To terrorize me there above my bed 



The air is still and heavy now 

There's thunder in the sky 

He's dreaming up some message he can send 



I'm scared completely helpless 

and I think I'm going to cry 

Are grownups brave or do they just pretend? 



His face is growing clearer 

I can see his eyes glow red 

My teddy bear's the only friend I can feel 



The shadow's hand slips down the wall 

And touches teddy's head 

I now suspect that shadow will touch me 



Chorus 



Repeat chorus 



It's you...
