[Verse 1]
Black hood, white knuckles, I’m back on the block
Boots hit puddles, making that hollow talk
You got a stare like a blade in the dark
I got a grin like a scar in the park
bite on your shoulder, sendin shivers down yo spine, call me R. L. Stine
I leave a mark, then I vanish in time
Teeth on the truth, I don’t play it benign
Little dead rose in the teeth of the vine
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold up
Feel that chill crawl in
Eyes on me now
Let the ugly in
Hold up
Hear that gate slam shut
You want that curse?
I’m the one you trust
[Chorus]
Call me R. L. Stine
Call me R. L. Stine
Cold grin, sharp line
Call me R. L. Stine
Call me R. L. Stine
I write your fright in time
[Verse 2]
Chains on my jeans, but I move like smoke
Name on the glass with a cracked-back joke
You want pretty? baby, look somewhere else
I keep my ghosts on the top shelf
Black ink drips where the moon got cut
Cold little choir in the back of my gut
Say my name once, then the room goes thin
Every bad dream lets the trouble in
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold up
Feel that chill crawl in
Eyes on me now
Let the ugly in
Hold up
Hear that gate slam shut
You want that curse?
I’m the one you trust
[Chorus]
Call me R. L. Stine
Call me R. L. Stine
Cold grin, sharp line
Call me R. L. Stine
Call me R. L. Stine
I write your fright in time
[Bridge]
If you want the dark, then baby come close
I got a coffin laugh and a handful of smoke
One more step and the floor gets weak
One more word and your pulse won’t speak
[Chorus]
Call me R. L. Stine
Call me R. L. Stine
Cold grin, sharp line
Call me R. L. Stine
Call me R. L. Stine
I write your fright in time
