see

up over there

up upon the stair

see, there's something

hiding there

there upon the stair.

 

you turn

to look

too late

it's gone

and somehow

it's not fair

that there is something

hiding there

that gives you such a scare.

 

run,

run, run away

as quick as you can go

don't stop to look

or turn around

or then you'll really know

 

know,

know, know the truth

of what is really wrong

if you try hard enough

it won't be very long

 

before you sleep,

sleep, sleep it off

as if it never was

if you try you can pretend

there's nothing there

there upon the stair.
