Mister Babadook 歌詞

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 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
