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
