billy was a train driving man
he went from one side to the other side of town
he went to bed with the light on
he went to bed with the light on

ride on

he found his struggle with the wind
something he never came to understand
he felt lost in the dark
even when there was someone, he felt apart

alone
alone
alone

cause in the dark
there's monsters, they cry alone
they're waiting
for you to come along and play
for you to come along and play

he made his way to the liquor store
couldn't help but notice the man at the door
yeah he did, he caught his eye
he said "sir, please a nickel, before i die."

alone
alone
alone

cause in the dark
there's monsters, they cry alone
they're waiting
for you to come along and play
for you to come along and play
and play
for you to come along and play
and play

cause in the dark
there's monsters, they cry alone
they're waiting
for you to come along and play

cause were monsters at heart
at heart, at heart
there's monsters in their hearts
their hearts

for you to come along and play
and play
for you to come along
and play
