Song Description

An allegorical song of foreboding and fear of things that go bump in the night.

Lyrics

There's a hot wind/blowing through this town
There's a stranger/and his smile is upside down
There's a face drawn on the barroom floor
There's a raven who keeps on saying nevermore

Something's coming this way soon
You can see its shadow in the light of the moon
Something's coming better lock your door
You've never seen anything like this before

There's a howling somewhere in the woods
There's a dead pirate searching for his goods
There's fog rising up from the lake
There's an empty casket at the outlaws wake

Something's coming this way soon
You can see its shadow in the light of the moon
Something's coming better lock your door
You've never seen anything like this before

Something's coming this way soon
You can see its shadow in the light of the moon
Something's coming better lock your door
You've never seen anything like this before

There's a batman flying through the night
There's a zombie whose flesh is ghostly white
There's a werewolf just looking for his mate
And the whole world's just burning up with hate
