All alone it was always there you see And even on my own It was always standing next to me I can see it coming from the edge of the room Creeping in the streetlight holding my hand in the pale gloom Can you see it coming now? Ah-ah, ah-ah I think I'm breaking down again Ah-ah, ah-ah I think I'm breaking down All alone even when I was a child I've always known there was something to be frightened of I can see it coming from the edge of the room Creeping in the streetlight holding my hand in the pale gloom Can you see it coming now? Ah-ah, ah-ah I think I'm breaking down again Ah-ah, ah-ah I think I'm breaking down All alone on the edge of sleep My old familiar friend Comes and lies down next to me And I can see it coming from the edge of the room Smiling in the streetlight even with my eyes shut tight I still see it coming now Ah-ah, ah-ah I think I'm breaking down again Ah-ah, ah-ah I think I'm breaking down again Ah-ah, ah-ah I think I'm breaking down again Ah-ah, ah-ah I think I'm breaking down
