[Verse 1] Lying alone in the dark of the night I've got no fright in me The stories as old as bones If the beasts were real, they are now long gone [Chorus] It's in my head, I need to go to sleep But I hear mashing of great teeth It's not real and I scream, "Go away!" "Go away!" As I cling to my bed And then the monster howls, monster howls. The Monster howls , monster howls. [Verse 2] They say it's big, big as a horse With claws as long, as my forearm Eyes as black as a moonless night And a mouth stained with blood from a hundred fights [Chorus] It's in my head, I need to go to sleep But I hear mashing of great teeth It's not real and I scream, "Go away!" "Go away!" As I cling to my bed And then the monster howls, monster howls. The Monster howls, monster howls. [Verse 3] I know it's not real it's in my mind So I go to peek outside The monster is in the yard Then I hear it growl like a midnight train Sending fear into my brain And I flee back to my warm bed I don't care what I've said [Chorus] It's not in my head, I can't go to sleep I hear mashing of great teeth I know it's real and I scream, "Go away!" "Go away!" As I cling to my bed And then again the monster howls, monster howls. The monster howls, monster howls [Verse 4] I lie in my bed hiding under the sheets What will I do? It needs to eat And it appears that I'm the feast What can I do. i can't get away, And I won't defeat the beast [Chorus] It's not in my head, I can't go to sleep I hear the mashing of great teeth I know it's real and I scream, "Go away!" "Go away!" As I cling to my bed And then again the monster howls, monster howls. The monster howls, monster howls [Climax] *Spoken* The sun is coming out And I hear the neighbor talk to the terrible thing. "Chico, get in the house, you dumb dog!"! I look out the window and guess what I see? A tiny Chihuahua as cute as can be. [Outro ] It was in my head, I Can go to sleep There's no more mashing of great teeth It's not real, it's not real And I drift off to sleep... No more monster howls No more monster howls No more monster howls No more monster howls
