In the darkness of the night, a child's dreams take flight
But little did he know, they'd turn to terror and strife, oh-oh

A cast of shadows dancing, a voice whispering in the wind
The Boogie Man creeps, and the nightmares begin, oh, oh-oh-oh
Boogie man, boogie man, haunting my sleep
For years the shadows run deep, oh, oh-oh

In a dark nocturnal landscape, where the fears never cease
The Boogie Man creeps, terror releases, oh, oh-oh-oh

Boogie man, boogie man, still haunting my nights
His presence lingers, his frightening sights, oh

Now years later, the room has changed, but the fear remains
I'm the Boogie Man now, I've kept the strain, oh, oh-oh

For the Boogie Man, man the Boogie man, man, the boogie man, man, boogie man, man he stayed, he stayed for Life, he stayed, he stayed for life
For the Boogie Man, man, man, the boogie man, man, he stayed, he stayed for life, he stayed for life. For life, for Life, for life! The boogie man

Night has no wings for those who cannot sleep, nom and time will not fly when tortured by creatures of the deep No! I'd like to fly away but my wings have broken flaps, a night of deprivation leading to my collapse

Boogie man, boogie man, haunting my sleep
For years the shadows run deep, oh, oh-oh

In a dark nocturnal landscape, where the fear never cease
The Boogie Man creeps, terror releases, oh, oh-oh-oh
Boogie man, boogie man, still haunting my nights
His presence lingers, his frightening sights, oh, oh-oh-oh

Now years later, the room has changed, but the fear remains
I'm the Boogie Man now, I've kept the strain, oh, oh-oh

Night has no wings for those who cannot sleep, no, and time will not fly when tortured by creatures of the deep, No

For the boogie man stayed for life, for the boogie man stayed for life

For the boogie man stayed for LIFE! boogie man stayed for LIFE
