lyrics

Here's a story and it's true.
I heard it from the cousin of a friend of a girl I once knew.
A quiet everyday neighborhood
Just like you would see, at any time in any place or on your T.V.
A classical beauty, she's barely nineteen.
She's minding two children, they're already asleep.
The parents of the children said they wouldn't be too long.
"There's food in the fridge,
make yourself at home,
here's the number of the restaurant
in case anything goes wrong."
They stuck it to the fridge and with that they were gone.
The couch is comfortable,
she flicks on T.V.
She's grazing on popcorn and the movie begins.
How inconsiderate, when the phone rings.
She tuts and sighs and flicks her hair and gets up and answers, that's how it begins.
Hello, this is 555431982
You've reached the Walton residence, how may I help you?
No answer is forthcoming in fact all that she hears is a rasping, rattling, wheezing, scratching at her ears.
"Have you checked on the children?"
It's late at night now and she's terrified.
Phone hasn't stopped ringing,
He keeps moaning and groaning,
same old whispers same old sighs.
She picks up the receiver,
Dials 999.
Police, can I help you?.
And she starts to cry.
She tells them what's been happening,
They say they'll put a trace, on the mysterious caller the voice without a face.
They spring into action down in the P.D and she sits there waiting and thinking about
the children.....
Melissa, rest your head the children are all safe in bed
And though the wind may howl, suggestive lunar shadows on the ground.
You're safe inside, so ease your mind
There's nothing to worry about.
You're safe inside so ease your mind.....
there's nothing to worry about.
Back at the station the detective's on the line
he's trying to keep her calm, didn't think she'd pick up this time.
His assistant comes running says "I've got something for you, the calls are coming from 555431982!
GET OUT!
GET OUT!
THE CALLS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE! GET OUT!
GET OUT!
AND TAKE THE CHILDREN!
