I was struttin' down the road one very dark night
I was blown to the gills and feeling right
the wind was howlin' and the rain comin' down
but l was struttin'
My car broke down on the other side of town
it started feelin weird and began to slow down
heard a noise behind me and I turned around
but there was nothin'
Absolutely nothin'
I know I'm not a man with a superstitious mind
but on the other hand I'm not the brave kind
l want to tell you now
I really get a fright
from things that go bump in the night.
Can you believe it, conceive it
I thought I dreamed it
Can you believe it
Make no mistake
I kept on struttin'
Take me home Mama
Take me home
Don't leave me here Mama all alone
Hey Mama come and save me from my head
just wanna be back home safe in bed
Then I really started struttin'
I mean I was really moving
Heart was beating fast
my clothes were soaking wet
don't need to tell you
I was in a cold sweat
and then something started breathing down my neck
and I was runnin'
Can you believe it, conceive it
I thought I dreamed it
Can you believe it
I just kept on runnin'
Take me home Mama
Take me home
Dont leave me here Mama all alone
Hey Mama come and save me from my head
just wanna be back home safe in bed please
Oh Mama, hallucinations are gettin' through
Oh Mama, cannot rely on you
I can feel the pain
right now, in the middle of my brain
