| Creak Creak go the boards at the base of the stairs
|
| Up, up jump the roots of my trembling hair
|
| Boom, Boom resounds a sound in the darkness somewhere
|
| Oh could it be? |
| My guest is here?
|
| Tick, Tock blares the clock I can no longer ignore
|
| Snip, snap pops the latch on my powerless door
|
| Sick, sick is the sensation salting my pores
|
| I’ve never hosted quite a guest before…
|
| Hey, Mr. Babadook!
|
| How do you do?
|
| He said: «I'm doin fine, but don’t be burnin' our time
|
| You know we’ve got some work to do»
|
| Oh, what a sight to see this dapper shadow appear!
|
| Perambulating, undulating, increasingly near…
|
| And following the ripened, heightened scent of my fear
|
| A friend or foe? |
| I’m not exactly clear
|
| Oh, not a word was heard, but when I shuddered a gasp
|
| He snapped back, jet black, tipping his hat
|
| The silence was excruciating I will admit
|
| I had to curb my quiet fit
|
| Hey, Mister Babadook!
|
| How do you do?
|
| He said: «I'm doin' fine, but don’t be burnin' our time
|
| You know we’ve got some work to do»
|
| «Good sir… I sympathize that youre a bit paralyzed to see me standing here.
|
| I understand your surprise, but time is not an ally on my side.
|
| I advise you let me out before my patience tries»
|
| He drew a little closer, and I noticed his face
|
| Resembled that of someone that I knew. |
| Right away I found myself standing eye
|
| to eye with the wraith of my very own reflected rage
|
| Just a mirror and an empty gaze
|
| Just a man simply entertaining hate
|
| Feels like I’ve known you all my life
|
| Seems a little bit silly that I was scared before
|
| How long were you waiting for me outside?
|
| I do apologize! |
| I’ve been a little down. |
| Let’s go and hit the town,
|
| and take a walk around
|
| I know a few people we can visit on tonight… |
