mister babadook - argyle goolsby lyrics
creak creak go the boards at the base of the stairs
up, up jump the roots of my trembling hair
boom, boom resounds a sound in the darkness somewhere
oh could it be? my guest is here?
tick,tock blares the clock i can no longer ignore
snip, snap pops the latch on my powerless door
sick, sick is the sensation salting my pores
i’ve never hosted quite a guest before…
hey, mr. babadook!
how do you do?
he said: “i’m doin fine, but don’t be burnin’ our time
you know we’ve got some work to do”
oh, what a sight to see this dapper shadow appear!
perambulating, undulating, increasingly near…
and following the ripened, heightened scent of my fear
a friend or foe? i’m not exactly clear
oh, not a word was heard, but when i shuddered a gasp
he snapped back, jet black, tipping his hat
the silence was excruciating i will admit
i had to curb my quiet fit
hey, mister babadook!
how do you do?
he said: “i’m doin’ fine, but don’t be burnin’ our time
you know we’ve got some work to do”
“good sir… i sympathize that youre a bit paralyzed to see me standing here. i understand your surprise, but time is not an ally on my side. i advise you let me out before my patience tries”
he drew a little closer, and i noticed his face
resembled that of someone that i knew. right away i found myself standing eye to eye with the wraith of my very own reflected rage
just a mirror and an empty gaze
just a man simply entertaining hate
feels like i’ve known you all my life
seems a little bit silly that i was scared before
how long were you waiting for me outside?
i do apologize! i’ve been a little down. let’s go and hit the town, and take a walk around
i know a few people we can visit on tonight….
