Lyrics
[Intro - spoken word] Somethin' out past the tree line... Somethin' that don't have a name... [Verse] Down the road where the porch light dies Somethin' moves where the shadow lies No face, no shape, just a creeping sound Draggin' itself across the ground The dogs won't bark, they just turn and run Somethin's comin' and it ain't human I been told this road's a dead end ride But I keep walkin' on the wrong side [Pre-Chorus - tension build] Can you feel it? (feel it) Crawlin' up your spine Can you hear it? (hear it) Callin' out your name It's the Thing — it's the Thing — it's the Thing in the dark... [Chorus] THE THING — IN THE DARK — IT'S WATCHIN' YOU THE THING — IN THE DARK — KNOWS WHAT YOU DO No eyes, no face, just a hollow stare A walkin' nightmare breathin' country air THE THING — IN THE DARK'S — COMIN' FOR YOU (comin' for you... comin' for you...) [Verse] Old man warned me, said "boy, go home" Said somethin' walks these fields alone Said it ain't alive, but it ain't quite dead Just a shroud of black where a face should've been I laughed it off like a fool would do Now I hear it breathin', right behind you Turn around slow, don't you make a sound It's the thing that drags the dyin' down [Pre-Chorus] Can you feel it? (feel it) Crawlin' up your spine Can you hear it? (hear it) Callin' out your name It's the Thing — it's the Thing — it's the Thing in the dark... [Chorus] THE THING — IN THE DARK — IT'S WATCHIN' YOU THE THING — IN THE DARK — KNOWS WHAT YOU DO No eyes, no face, just a hollow stare A walkin' nightmare breathin' country air THE THING — IN THE DARK'S — COMIN' FOR YOU (comin' for you... comin' for you...) [Bridge - half-time breakdown] It don't talk... it don't breathe... It just waits... in between... Every shadow... every tree... It's been waitin'... for me... [distorted spoken]: "Someone's gonna die tonight..." [Chorus] THE THING — IN THE DARK — IT FOUND YOU THE THING — IN THE DARK — IT'S TRUE No eyes, no face, just a hollow stare A walkin' nightmare breathin' country air THE THING — IN THE DARK'S — GOT YOU NOW (got you now... got you now... got you now...) [Outro - whisper/Spoken] Somethin' out past the tree line... Somethin's got my name...
