An evil lullaby, "The Boogeyman" is the latest single from NYC Horrorpunks Cut Like This. Delving deep into the tortured musings of an insomniac facing their inner demons and desire for sleep vs their lack of control. The single art features The Boogeyman's taunting visage with spectacular SFX makeup by singer Rose Blood. Neon colors glow in stark contrast to the darkness, echoing how the sing-song vocals intertwine with the harsh screams echoing in the outro shouting "You'll NEVER get to sleep!"
lyrics
It's all true, the Boogeyman is real and you've just found him
1, 2, it's coming for you
Waiting in the dark, tell me whatcha gonna do?
It's the Boogeyman, the Oogey Boogey man
It's the boogey man, hiding under your bed
3, 4 behind your door
Creeping in the shadows spreading out across the floor
It's the Boogeyman, the Oogey Boogey man
It's the Boogeyman, hiding under your bed
Guess I'll never, ever, ever get to sleep,
Can't stop trembling, something's touching me
Guess I'll never ever get to sleep
Everywhere I look it's all that I can see
5, 6, it's come to this
You've tried everything but you can't resist
It's the Boogeyman, the Oogey Boogey man
It's the boogey man, hiding under your bed
7,8, it's much too late
Eyes are so heavy that you can't stay awake.
It's the Boogeyman, the Oogey Boogey man!
It's the boogey man, hiding under your bed.
Guess I'll never, ever, ever get to sleep,
Can't stop trembling, something's touching me
Guess I'll never ever get to sleep
Everywhere I look it's all that I can see
Don't worry it's in your head, go to sleep, it's time for bed
Don't worry it's in your head, go to sleep, it's time for bed
Yeah, I'm that Oogey Boogey, hiding under your bed
Don't you dare fall asleep cuz you'll wake up dead
Yeah, I'm that Oogey Boogey, hiding under your bed
Don't you dare fall asleep cuz you'll wake up dead
Guess I'll never, ever, ever get to sleep
Can't stop trembling, something's touching me
Guess I'll never ever get to sleep
Everywhere I look it's all that I can see
9, 10 never wake up again
You tried so hard now it's all gonna end
It's the Boogeyman
It's the Boogeyman
You'll never get to sleep
You'll never get to sleep
You'll never get to sleep
You'll never get to sleep
