Lyrics

   She had an horror of rooms she was tired you can't hide beat
   When I looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home
   Well she could've been a killer if she didn't walk the way she do, and she do
   She opened strange doors that we'd never close again

   She began to wail jealousies scream
   Waiting at the lights know what I mean

   Scary monsters, super creeps
   Keeps me running, running scared
   Scary monsters, super creeps
   Keeps me running, running scared

   She asked me to stay and I stole her room
   She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind
   Now she's stupid in the street and she can't socialise
   Well I love the little girl and I'll love her till the day she dies

   She wails
   Jimmy's guitar sound jealousies scream
   Waiting at the lights know what I mean

   Scary monsters, super creeps
   Keeps me running, running scared
   Scary monsters, super creeps
   Keeps me running, running scared
