A night so stormy and dreadful
I was wide awake
Something shuffled
I went to investigate

Under the bed
There was a ball of eye
It really seemed dead
But it was staring at me

Beside my shelf
I saw a trimmed ear
I started to yell
And I think it heard me

On my flower clock's stem
Hang a severed hand
The time was 12:00 am
And it was pointing at me

The lights went out
But it came back
I saw someone's mouth
And it was grinning at me

I wished it was a dream
I hid under my blanket
I went back to sleep
But it seemed I couldn't

Thunders roared
Lightnings flashed
"Pssst." Someone called
Who was that?
