Fair Warning

beware the dark black sky and moonless night

when creatures without eyes look for a bite

Take cover! Take cover! I cried

they're getting close, quick get inside

hear their babbling it's getting louder

caught someone by the sound of that howler

they follow the scent of bad girls and boys

as screams are heard above all of the noise

They're coming! They're coming! I scream

like a reoccurring bad dream

they caught a poor soul, ripped him to shreds

they're coming, the rest, to feast on the dead

so fair warning to children everywhere

don't go acting all wild or they'll appear

Hush! Hush! Get in bed, close your eyes

cover your ears, block out their cries

seems the creatures are eating well tonight

hush, they'll all disappear before first light
