Bumps in the Night
Yesternight all was right.
So it seemed until a fright
First a thump, then a scream
Or was I just dreaming?
In the darkness, coming after me:
Everything that I cannot see
Wizard wiles and snapping crocodiles!
How far will the darkness go?
As I peeked, rather freaked
Down the hall where something shrieked
Books flung out, chimes encroached.
Has my mind gone tricky?
In the darkness, coming after me:
Everything that I cannot see
Monkey paws and raspy raven caws!
How far will the darkness go?
In the quiet of the night
Things that go bump never quite
Show a face, yet they will bite.
Creaking doors, moving floors
Out I crawled upon all fours.
What was there but a stare!
And some surly breathing.
Chilling heat ran up my neck,
Shook my skull into a wreck.
Shivers slid down to my feet,
Each of which desired retreat.
What is nothing? What is dread?
What is something in my head?
Things that go bump in the night
Trick my eyes, for what is sight?
In the darkness, coming after me:
Everything that I cannot see
Witches' rungs and fortune-telling tongues!
How far will the darkness ...
How far will the darkness ...
What things will go bump tonight?
So it seemed until a fright
First a thump, then a scream
Or was I just dreaming?
In the darkness, coming after me:
Everything that I cannot see
Wizard wiles and snapping crocodiles!
How far will the darkness go?
As I peeked, rather freaked
Down the hall where something shrieked
Books flung out, chimes encroached.
Has my mind gone tricky?
In the darkness, coming after me:
Everything that I cannot see
Monkey paws and raspy raven caws!
How far will the darkness go?
In the quiet of the night
Things that go bump never quite
Show a face, yet they will bite.
Creaking doors, moving floors
Out I crawled upon all fours.
What was there but a stare!
And some surly breathing.
Chilling heat ran up my neck,
Shook my skull into a wreck.
Shivers slid down to my feet,
Each of which desired retreat.
What is nothing? What is dread?
What is something in my head?
Things that go bump in the night
Trick my eyes, for what is sight?
In the darkness, coming after me:
Everything that I cannot see
Witches' rungs and fortune-telling tongues!
How far will the darkness ...
How far will the darkness ...
What things will go bump tonight?
