Intro
Verse
Simmer down
Says the angel on your shoulder
Louder now
Says the fire at your neck
But I know you much better
You wouldn't play without flame
Watch it burn watch it flicker
Til it's something that you can take
Hear the ghosts
As they assemble in the evening
Whispering
Yes, they're calling out your name
Well if you aren't such a coward
Get up from under your bed
And tell me what it is you're after
That's when you looked up at me and said
[Chorus)
"Well, I'm just a monster,
Hiding from sighting til someone comes my way
I'm just a monster
No one will stay 'cause I scare them all away
I'm just a lonely, leery, weary soul
Who's longing for a heart"
No you're no monster
You're still afraid of the dark
[Verse}
Tell me now,
What's the spell that I've been under?
"Help me out"
You ask with hunger in your eyes
For the love is the answer
I was dead from the start
Who could love this disaster?
Just a body no beating heart
Chorus
"Well, I'm just a monster,
Hiding from sighting til someone comes my way
I'm just a monster
No one will stay 'cause I scare them all away
I'm just a monster,
Hiding from sighting til someone comes my way
I'm just a monster
No one will stay 'cause I scare them all away
I'm just a lonely, leery, weary soul
Who's longing for a heart"
No you're no monster
You're still afraid of the dark
You're still afraid of the dark
Afraid of the dark
The end - enjoy!
