You Better Watch Out

[Verse]
Footsteps crunch in the ice and the snow
Shadows crawl where the lanterns don't glow
The jingle of bells
But no one you know
[Prechorus]
Red suit dripping
Not with cheer
The smell of pine
The scent of fear
[Chorus]
You better watch out
You better stay still
Santa’s coming down from the hill
His elves are laughing
Sharp little teeth
Something wicked hides underneath
[Verse 2]
Tiny hands
They work in the dark
Building toys or tearing apart
The workshop hums with a devil’s spark
[Chorus]
You better watch out
You better not cry
Santa’s here and he’s asking why
The list keeps changing
The ink runs red
You’re not safe
Not in your bed
[Bridge]
Ho ho ho
The laugh is cracked
A bag of bones slung on his back
The chimney screams as he comes down
You can’t escape when he’s in your town

dark, electric guitars with dissonant chords and eerie whispers, ominous, rock, male vocals
