THE BOGEYMAN
© Jack Hoban
Spring 1994

God its cold and dark
In this room tonight
Hardly ever sleep alone
Guess I need a nightlight
Didn't see him back in school
Didn't see him in my teens
Then the mortgage and the cards
All that nice suburban scene

CHORUS

Here he comes again
Hopin that you crack
Just when you thought you were safe
The bogeyman is back

When I was a little kid
He'd stalk me in my sleep
Can't believe he's back again
back again for keeps
Now he haunts me in the day
When I pay my bills
When I got to make a choice
He messes with my will

CHORUS, then REFRAIN

Whoa, whoa, whoa, the bogeyman is back (4xs)
