(shhhhh, watch out)
Every twenty-three years it wakes
Feasting on the breath we take
Rusting truck on a desert road
Heavy burden, heavy load
Hiding
in the shadow of the corn
A new nightmare is being born
I can hear the engine roar
(run, run!) Scratching at your cellar door
Join the cult of the Creeper's reign
Feast your eyes on the ancient pain
He can smell your deepest fear
Every twenty-three years!
(every twenty-three years!)
He takes an eye to see the sun
He takes a heart when you try to run
Stitching up his leather hide
Nowhere left for you to hide
(nowhere left!)
I can hear the engine roar
(run, run!) Scratching at your cellar door
Join the cult of the Creeper's reign
Feast your eyes on the ancient pain
He can smell your deepest fear
Every twenty-three years! (every twenty-three years!)
Where
is my mind?
Where
are my eyes?
(no!) He's coming for you!
Every twenty-three years... (shhhhh,
watch out)
