[D. Wayne / K. Vanderhoof / C. Wells]



It's way past midnight

There's a howling wind

Oh God what can it be?

Something out there evil

And it's coming straight for me

The house is dark and very cold

I know there's no one here

Why am I scared to death

Just petrified with fear



'Cause I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin'

Of something evil lurking

And waiting for me in the house

'Cause I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin'

Of something evil lurking

And waiting for me in the dark

The dark



When I opened up the door

And snapped on the switch

The room was filled with light

Then something black and very fast

Fled upon my sight

What I feared most as a child

Was the coming of the night

Now my horrors have become quite real

My nightmares breathe new life



'Cause I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin'

Of something evil lurking

And waiting for me in the house

Yes, I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin'

Of something evil lurking

And waiting for me in the dark

Dark!



What is it in the house

That the darkness brings to life?

I sense their eyes upon me

As I grab a butcher knife

Whatever it is that waits for me

It hides beneath my bed

If I try to sleep tonight

By morning I'll be dead!



'Cause I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin'

Of something evil lurking

And waiting for me in the house

Yes, I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin'

Of something evil lurking

And waiting for me in the dark
