Threatened lyrics
[ROD SERLING INTRO]
Tonight’s
story is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introducing
A
monster had arrived in the village
The major ingredient of any
recipe for fear is the unknown
And this person or thing is soon to be
met
He knows every thought, he can feel every emotion
Oh yes, I
did forget something didn’t I? I forgot to introduce you to the monster.
You’re
fearing me, ‘cause you know I’m a beast
Watching you when you sleep,
when you’re in bed
I’m underneath
You’re trapped in halls, and my
face is the walls
I’m the floor when you fall, and when you scream
it’s ‘cause of me
I’m the living dead, the dark thoughts in your head
I
heard just what you said
That’s why you’ve got to be threatened by
me
[CHORUS]
You should be watching me, you should feel
threatened
Why you sleep, why you creep, you should be threatened
Every
time your lady speaks she speaks to me, threatened
Half of me you’ll
never be, so you should feel threatened by me
You think you’re
by yourself, but it’s my touch you felt
I’m not a ghost from Hell,
but I’ve got a spell on you
Your worst nightmare is me, I'm
everywhere
In one blink I’ll disappear, and then I’ll come back to
haunt you
I’m telling you, when you lie under a tomb
I’m the one
watching you
That’s why you got to be threatened by me
[CHORUS]
[ROD
SERLING VERSE]
The unknown monster is about to embark
From a far
corner, out of the dark
A nightmare, that’s the case
Never
Neverland, that’s the place
This particular monster can read minds
Be
in two places at the same time
This is judgement night, execution,
slaughter
The devil, ghosts, this monster is torture
You can be
sure of one thing, that’s fate
A human presence that you feel is
strange
A monster that you can see disappear
A monster, the worst
thing to fear.
[CHORUS x 3]
[ROD SERLING OUTRO]
What
you have just witnessed could be the end of a particularly terrifying
nightmare.
It isn’t. It’s the beginning.
