[Verse 1]

Billy was a train driving man

He went from one side to the other side of town

He went to bed with the light on

He went to bed with the light on

Ride on

[Verse 2]

He found the struggle with the wind

Something he never came to understand

He felt lost in the dark

Even when there was someone

He felt apart

Alone

Alone

Alone

[Chorus]

Cause in the dark

There's monsters that cry alone

They're waiting

For you to come along and play

For you to come along and play

[Verse 3]

He made his way to the liquor store

Couldn't help but notice the man at the door

Yeah he did, he caught his eye

Said "sir, please a nickel, before I die"

Alone

Alone

Alone

[Chorus]

In the dark

There's monsters that cry alone

They're waiting

For you to come along and play

For you to come along and play

For you to come along and play

[Chorus]

In the dark

There's monsters that cry alone

They're waiting

For you to come along and play

'Cause we're monsters at heart

In our hearts our hearts

We're monsters in our hearts our hearts

For you to come along and play

For you to come along and play

[Outro]

Billy was a train driving man

He got lost some place in the wind
