[Intro] Hush now, lock the door Something's counting on the floor One, two—don't look behind Three, four—it's crossed the line [Verse 1] Black lace caught on the iron gate Cold hand knocking though it's half past eight Your porch light blinks, then the whole block dies I hear your name in the furnace's sigh Footsteps drag where the hall runs long No one's there when you turn around I keep my smile while the windows shake You hear that growl? That's the house awake [Pre-Chorus] Don't breathe, don't move It knows what you do That scratch at the frame Is spelling your name [Chorus] Run, run, the night has teeth Claw marks climbing underneath Scream, scream, but no one comes Heart goes silent when the monster drums Run, run, the door won't hold Something's crawling through the cold Scream, scream, your time is done Halloween has just begun [Verse 2] Red eyes gleam in the rearview glass Long black fingers curl through the grass A laugh in the attic, a thud below The walls breathe out and the candles go You hit the stairs but they stretch away The clock keeps striking the same dead day I sing real sweet as the hinges bend There's no escape at the bitter end [Pre-Chorus] Don't breathe, don't move It knows what you do That scratch at the frame Is spelling your name [Chorus] Run, run, the night has teeth Claw marks climbing underneath Scream, scream, but no one comes Heart goes silent when the monster drums Run, run, the door won't hold Something's crawling through the cold Scream, scream, your time is done Halloween has just begun [Bridge] [Terrified scream] Behind the curtain, under the bed A thousand little eyes turn red The lock clicks once, the chain falls loose The thing outside is wearing your shoes [Final Chorus] Run, run, the night has teeth Claw marks climbing underneath Scream, scream, but no one comes Heart goes silent when the monster drums Run, run, the door won't hold Something's crawling through the cold Scream, scream, your time is done Halloween has just begun [Outro] Hush now, lock the door Something's counting on the floor One, two—don't look behind Three, four—it's inside
