Hanson - The Golden Rule lyrics

Let me tell you a story about a
Boy who broke the golden rule
Never be alone on Halloween night
He decided to stay home and give
Candy to Trick or Treaters
He didn't want a costume or go to a party
As the candy emptied and he turned off
The porch light to go to bed
He realized he wasn't alone at all

There's something underneath my bed
And I don't think that this is in my head
I'm in a tragedy
I stayed home alone on Halloween
And now the fear has taken hold of me
Will I be a feast? It's a mystery
Is it man or beast oh let me go

As that boy turned around he knew
He had made a grave mistake
Cuz the worst would be a foot
He wished for a silver bullet or a stake
Anything to fend the beast of the night off
But that was the last night he
Would see as a human
So let me give this advice
Never break the golden rule
There's something underneath my bed
And I don't think that this is in my head
I'm in a tragedy
I stayed home alone on Halloween
And now the fear has taken hold of me
Will I be a feast? It's a mystery
Is it man or beast i'm in a tragedy
