As I lay awake I hear clappin' from inside the walls, so it Must be my mistake I spend hours trying to lock the doors, but they Always come right in They want bones hidden in the boards I could show you Where the safe is still Yours as fast mine It's all black inside the house, you send All of your children Take all who are willing Yours as fast mine It's all black behind, inside, you send All of your children Take all who are willing Think I might have sent The wrong copy of my diary Re-connects the dots From the treasure to the misery if I Live to tell your tale Of a haunted house and jamboree Would I go live Outside again? If you're still scared of others Then just crawl back in your covers (whoa) If you still care for others Then you sleep outside your covers (whoa, oh) If you still hate the shadows And the headlights from the windows (whoa, whoa oh) Yours as fast as mine! If you still fear the sounds and All the swine within your houses (whoa, whoa oh) Show me all the tricks you fell for And tell me what you're going to hell for (whoa, whoa) Yours as fast as mine! It's all black behind inside!
