Alone in despair Every night of my life When the night has come I wait in the dark Sometimes I stare at you On the Sea of your dreams I'm the boogeyman And I don't know where to roam I'm the boogeyman I'm always on my own All I'm searching for Is a friend nothing more Won't you play with me? No, don't be afraid I'm not what your grandma said I'm a lonely poor soul Everyone fears the boogeyman But there's a heart inside this black This cold dark night is all I have to live all my life I'm the boogeyman I am here under your bed I'm the boogeyman I hear the thoughts inside your head I'm the boogeyman And I don't know where to roam I'm the boogeyman I'm always on my own Once upon a time Such a long time ago I was a kid myself And what am I now? Just fading shades of gray Hiding in a wardrobe Everyone fears the boogeyman But there's a heart inside this black This cold dark night is all I have to live all my life I'm the boogeyman I am here under your bed I'm the boogeyman I hear the thoughts inside your head I'm the boogeyman And I don't know where to roam I'm the boogeyman I'm always on my own You don't know me But you know my name You can't see me But you fear my shape You can't hear me But you fear my steps In the dark I am the boogeyman Boogeyman I'm always on my own Boogeyman The boogeyman My heart is like a stone
