Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She had a horror of rooms
She was tired
You can't hide me
When I looked in her eyes
They were blue, but nobody home
[Verse 2]
Well, she could've been a killer
If she didn't walk the way she do
And she do
She opened strange doors that we'd never close again
[Verse 3]
She began to wail, jealousy's scream
Waiting at the lights, know what I mean?
[Verse 4]
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
[Verse 5]
She asked me to stay and I stole her room
She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind
Now she's stupid in the street and she can't socialize
Well, I love the little girl
And I'll love her till the day she dies
[Verse 6]
She wails Jimmy's guitar sound, jealousy's scream
Waiting at the lights, know what I mean?
[Verse 7]
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
[Verse 8]
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
