     SUNG FROM UNDER THE BED
       Words: Kay Shapero
          Tune: Cecilia*


CHORUS: Cthulhu, you're breaking my mind.
        My sanity's vanishing daily!
        Oh, Cthulhu, I'm down on my knees
        I'm begging you, please -- go away,
        Go away!

I picked up this ancient book
By some guy named Abdul Al-Haz'red (Al-Haz'red)
Read two chapters; now it seems
You're disturbing my days and you're haunting my dreams.

        CHORUS

Half-awake in the early morn
With my lover sleeping by my side (by my side)
When I feel a nameless dread
And I turn on the light, I find you in my bed!

        CHORUS

Hiding out in the afternoon
In a room at Miskatonic U (hiding out)
Elder Signs from ceiling to floor,
And there's star-stones to block off the windows and door.

        Consternation!  He's found me again,
        I crawl in the closet and shiver.
        Consternation!  He's found me again,
        I crawl in the closet and shiver.....
