Intro

Think there's a monster in your closet

Even if you lock it

You think you can't stop it

No matter how hard you try

Well isn't he a sleepy head

Close your eyes and go to bed

With good thoughts in your head

Tell you why it's gonna be alright

They're only shadows, they're only shadows

They're only shadows in the night

You walk down the street

A creepy feeling starts to creep

And suddenly you feel your feet

Movin faster till they fly

You look all around

You look up and you look down

But still there's nothing you have found

And I will tell you why

They're only shadows, They're only shadows

They're only shadows in the night

There are lots of things that may go bump in the night

But if you use your brain you will be alright

A scary noise is just the faucet drippin

and the thump, thump, thump is the dog's tail waggin

the thing you saw out the corner of your eye

was just a shadow in the night

You can't have shadows

Without the light

No hello without goodbye

No laughter till you cry

that's just part of life

the great compromise

you are truly wise

if you see with your own eyes

They're only shadows, they're only shadows

they're only shadows in the night

they're only shadows, they're only shadows

they're only shadows in the night
