Turn out the lights and say your prayers Sleep tight now, don't be afraid There ain't no monster under your bed The moon is rising, its time to go I'll tuck you in real tight and lock the door The only monster 's inside your head There ain't no chains that could have held her down You know that fever's like a fire inside Now she's out of time The beast inside has come alive In the midnight hour She's such a wild child By the call of night Howling at the moonlight Hear the cry She's such a wild child You hear the screams behind the door She ain't your little girl no more Just a monster 'til morning comes There's something calling from the other side Those twilight creatures on the prowl tonight Now she's out of time The beast inside has come alive In the midnight hour She's such a wild child By the call of night Howling at the moonlight Hear the cry She's such a wild child Now she's out of time The beast inside has come alive In the midnight hour She's such a wild child By the call of night Howling at the moonlight Hear the cry She's such a wild child
