Intro

 Think there's a monster in your closet

 Even if you lock it

 You think you can't stop it

 No matter how hard you try

 Well isn't he a sleepy head

 Close your eyes and go to bed

 With good thoughts in your head

 Tell you why it's gonna be alright

 They're only shadows, they're only shadows

 They're only shadows in the night

 You walk down the street

 A creepy feeling starts to creep

 And suddenly you feel your feet

 Movin faster till they fly

 You look all around

 You look up and you look down

 But still there's nothing you have found

 And I will tell you why

 They're only shadows, They're only shadows

 They're only shadows in the night

There are lots of things that may go bump in the night

But if you use your brain you will be alright

A scary noise is just the faucet drippin

 and the thump, thump, thump is the dog's tail waggin

 the thing you saw out the corner of your eye

 was just a shadow in the night

 You can't have shadows

 Without the light

 No hello without goodbye

 No laughter till you cry

 that's just part of life

 the great compromise

 you are truly wise

 if you see with your own eyes

 They're only shadows, they're only shadows

 they're only shadows in the night

 they're only shadows, they're only shadows

 they're only shadows in the night
