Boogeyman (Gyromitra perlata Mix)
Doctor, you don't have to believe
I'll tell my story then I'll leave
I'm not crazy, not one of your freaks
A self-respecting man just ain't weak
The law let by what I did
But I'm the murderer of my kids
Yeah
Denny was the first of the three
I could hear him crying out in his sleep
"A kid should never have his way"
If I had known what he was trying to say
Murdered in his crib as he slept
His sister met a similar death
I should have seen the crack in the door
Noises made only to tease
Slimy tracks, he wants to be seen
The closet door was always shut tight
Something opened it during the night
He knows that I knows he's here
And yet this Boogey Man still won't appear
Moved away and thought we were free
Now he's back. He's comin' for me
Andy was my favorite one
No stronger love between a man and his son
Never let him out of my sight
Kept him my room every night
Beneath the sound of the night I could hear
The awful thing was coming near
Who will face what's behind the door?
Slimy, sliding sounds like the kitchen drain
The god-awful noise of claws being dragged
Deadly fear that the noises might stop
Then a laugh in your face, slimy hands on your throat
Moved him out. It was him or me
Later that night I heard a gurgling scream
Ran and saw the Boogey Man break Andrew's neck
Fine father, I turned away and fled
I'll tell my story then I'll leave
I'm not crazy, not one of your freaks
A self-respecting man just ain't weak
The law let by what I did
But I'm the murderer of my kids
Yeah
Denny was the first of the three
I could hear him crying out in his sleep
"A kid should never have his way"
If I had known what he was trying to say
Murdered in his crib as he slept
His sister met a similar death
I should have seen the crack in the door
Noises made only to tease
Slimy tracks, he wants to be seen
The closet door was always shut tight
Something opened it during the night
He knows that I knows he's here
And yet this Boogey Man still won't appear
Moved away and thought we were free
Now he's back. He's comin' for me
Andy was my favorite one
No stronger love between a man and his son
Never let him out of my sight
Kept him my room every night
Beneath the sound of the night I could hear
The awful thing was coming near
Who will face what's behind the door?
Slimy, sliding sounds like the kitchen drain
The god-awful noise of claws being dragged
Deadly fear that the noises might stop
Then a laugh in your face, slimy hands on your throat
Moved him out. It was him or me
Later that night I heard a gurgling scream
Ran and saw the Boogey Man break Andrew's neck
Fine father, I turned away and fled
