Lock the Door!

Streetlights flicker, turning neon blue The clock is ticking, what am I to do? I see a shadow towering by the fence Is that Frankenstein, or just my paranoia intense? They're waking up, they're stepping out of line And I'm just trying to make it home in time Run from the street before the trick-or-treat starts Before the ghosts come out and tear us apart Witches in the air, Dracula on the prowl I can hear the shadows starting to howl Gotta get inside, gotta make it right Before the monsters take over the night Lock the door, lock the door, waiting for the night to end Lock the door, lock the door, waiting for the night to end I hit the porch, my keys are shaking loose A phantom silhouette, a hanging noose? I slam the door, I turn the heavy deadbolt lock The windows fastened as I look at the clock The curtains drawn, the city fades away Safe in the dark, just waiting for the day Run from the street before the trick-or-treat starts Before the ghosts come out and tear us apart Witches in the air, Dracula on the prowl I can hear the shadows starting to howl Gotta get inside, gotta make it right Before the monsters take over the night Lock the door, lock the door, waiting for the night to end Lock the door, lock the door, waiting for the night to end Locked in tight... out of sight... Is it over yet? Just let it end... just let it end... Safe behind the glass... Hoping that the hours pass... Lock the door, lock the door...
