[Verse 1]
I tear through this town
I swear that something is chasing me down
Maybe a specter who can't make a sound
Maybe a werewolf preparing to howl
I sense a fight
Coming around every turn, every light
Could be a zombie risen back to life
Could be a vampire waiting to bite at night

[Pre-Chorus 1]
So farewell to a friend
Hello to the end
I won't be a pretend ghost hunter
Though no-one is around
I'm still standing my ground
But now hearing the sound makes me wonder

[Chorus]
Is this another dream, or just a nightmare
Unnerving, concerning, who's out there
The clock isn't set to last
My time is fading fast
I can't keep running into spirits of the past
I see a pair of eyes outside my door
Alarming, disarming, noises on this floor
More than enough has passed
My time is fading fast
I can't keep sheltered behind glass about to crack
Oh, oh, ooh oh
Oh, oh, ooh oh
Oh, oh, ooh oh
My time is fading fast
Oh, oh, ooh oh
Oh, oh, ooh oh
Oh, oh, ooh oh
The monster is coming back
(I'm about to break out and leave this lodge
So I can get myself out of dodge)

[Verse 2]
You, please take your time
And I'll wait 'til you're through
I stand alone and you're making your move
Showing your teeth at the sight of the moon
One single sight
Was everything you would need to decide
To make a villain of your own design
And that's the last that I heard from my Frankenstein

[Pre-Chorus 2]
So farewell to a friend
Hello to the end
I won't be a pretend Van Helsing
Though no one is around
I hear something resound
The distant wailing is loud, and I'm running
(I'm about to break out and leave this)
[Chorus]
Is this another dream, or just a nightmare
Unnerving, concerning, who's out there
The clock isn't set to last
My time is fading fast
I can't keep running into spirits of the past
I see a pair of eyes outside my door
Alarming, disarming, noises on this floor
More than enough has passed
My time is fading fast
I can't keep sheltered behind glass about to crack

Oh, oh, ooh oh
Oh, oh, ooh oh
Oh, oh, ooh oh
My time is fading fast
Oh, oh, ooh oh
Oh, oh, ooh oh
Oh, oh, ooh oh
The monster is coming back

[Outro]
(I'm about to break out and leave this)
(I'm about to break out and leave this)
(I'm about to break out and leave this lodge
So I can get myself out of dodge)
