Walk down the street that you used to know
And then to the park where you don't go
The marks that you make on your little path
That lead home, straight to your door

So you go out one darkened day
Along the creek where you used to play
But not anymore, they're telling you to go home
Straight to your bed, they go around, straight to your bed

The boogie man is gonna get you
He'll tie you up where you don't want to
Oh no, oh no, think it over, what's in your head
You know just why it's in your head
Yeah, it's over, it's all in your head that it's over
It's all in your head, it's all in your head

The night is down and you're walking home
You are safe although you're alone
I wouldn't know what you see
I may have ended this game for you

Now in the dusk of your own time
You're hurting people that are floating round you
I couldn't say what you need
You've got it already in your head
You better go now straight to your bed

The boogie man is gonna get you
He'll tie you up where you don't want to
Oh no, oh no, think it over, what's in your head
You know just why it's in your head
Yeah, it's over, it's all in your head that it's over
It's all in your head, it's all in your head

And you will never know just when to leave this scene
Maybe it's time, yeah, time to go
