she had an horror of rooms she was tired you can't hide beat

and when i looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home

well she could have been a killer if she didn't walk the way she do

(and she'd do)

she opened strange doors that we'd never close again



she began to wail jealousy's screams

waiting at the lights know what i mean



scary monsters super creeps keep me running running scared

scary monsters super creeps keep me running running scared



she asked me to stay and i stole her room

she asked for my love and i gave her a dangerous mind

now she's stupid in the street and she can't socialise

well i love the little girl and i'll love her 'till the day she dies



she wails jimmy's guitar sound jealousy's screams

waiting at the lights know what i mean



scary monsters super creeps keep me running running scared

scary monsters super creeps keep me running running scared
