In The Dark

I can’t scream in other people’s houses.
Sleep in other people’s beds.
I’m the nervousest person
about waking the dead.

Don’t like nothin’ sleepin’ in a coffin.
You can’t get no rest.
I get plenty
in my own bed.

Don’t start talkin’ zombies.
Won’t be in the same room.
I might be out for the night,
still won’t walk into a tomb.

Don’t mind snakes or spiders.
Least they’re living things.
And I hate horror movies.
Making you nervousest when the phone rings.

And Vampires,
if that ain’t the stupidest shit?
Grown ass people
trying to get their neck bit.

I guess I ain’t afraid of them.
When it comes to death,
being in the dark
is probably the best.
