My ghosts and monsters

They wake me every night

Sharp teeth and bad breath

Whispering your name



I'm not quite lonely

Feels more like scared to death

Your memory haunts me

When I put myself to bed



I've been sleeping with the lights on

Talking in my sleep

And waking to an empty home

I've been sleeping with the lights on

Since you've been gone



Bela Lugosi

And Boris Karloff too

Make such strange bedfellows

But how do they know you



They'll stay for hours

They'll haunt me all night long

Talk about your new love

'Til the crack of dawn



I know you're not to blame

For the shape I'm in

It's the nature of the beast

But how do I explain

When it's time to love again

The monsters are real
