[ROD SERLING INTRO]
TonightÔÇÖs 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 didnÔÇÖt I? I forgot to introduce you to the monster.
YouÔÇÖre fearing me, ÔÇÿcause you know IÔÇÖm a beast
Watching you when you sleep, when youÔÇÖre in bed
IÔÇÖm underneath
YouÔÇÖre trapped in halls, and my face is the walls
IÔÇÖm the floor when you fall, and when you scream itÔÇÖs ÔÇÿcause of me
IÔÇÖm the living dead, the dark thoughts in your head
I know just what you said
ThatÔÇÖs why youÔÇÖve 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 youÔÇÖll never be, so you should feel threatened by me
You think youÔÇÖre by yourself, but itÔÇÖs my touch you felt
IÔÇÖm not a ghost from Hell, but IÔÇÖve got a spell on you
In one blink IÔÇÖll disappear, and then IÔÇÖll come back to haunt you
IÔÇÖm telling you, when you lie under a tomb
IÔÇÖm the one watching you
ThatÔÇÖs 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, thatÔÇÖs the case
Never Neverland, thatÔÇÖs the place
This particular monster can read minds
Be in tow 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, thatÔÇÖs 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 isnÔÇÖt. ItÔÇÖs the beginning
