lyrics
When something seems wrong
Yes it seems not quite right
When something unheard of
goes bump in the night.
When gut wrenching terror is
taken to hair raising new heights,
remember
they only come out at night.
When meat hungry monsters
come for a bite.
When creatures go hunting
on their nocturnal flights.
When goblins come calling
and oh they just might
remember
they only come out at night.
When something is watching
just out of sight.
Watching and laughing
with creepy delight.
When witches fly past
the moon so bright
remember
they only come out at night.
Off in the corner,
coming up the stairs
Right by the bed
something is there…
A shadow at the window,
scratching in the walls…
Something in your ear
whispers, “Hello!”
When lying in bed
quivering with fright.
When you're too scared
to even turn on the light,
pull up your covers
and shut your eyes tight and
remember
they only come out at night.
Yes it seems not quite right
When something unheard of
goes bump in the night.
When gut wrenching terror is
taken to hair raising new heights,
remember
they only come out at night.
When meat hungry monsters
come for a bite.
When creatures go hunting
on their nocturnal flights.
When goblins come calling
and oh they just might
remember
they only come out at night.
When something is watching
just out of sight.
Watching and laughing
with creepy delight.
When witches fly past
the moon so bright
remember
they only come out at night.
Off in the corner,
coming up the stairs
Right by the bed
something is there…
A shadow at the window,
scratching in the walls…
Something in your ear
whispers, “Hello!”
When lying in bed
quivering with fright.
When you're too scared
to even turn on the light,
pull up your covers
and shut your eyes tight and
remember
they only come out at night.

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 22 fans who also own “They Only Come Out At Night”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.
