Random Encounters
Let Me Go
[Verse 1]
I've got a shiver running down my spine
Trapped here with Granny, but she ain't no granny of mine
'Cause her eyes are hauntingly dead and white
Teeth that oughta stay out of sight
Hair infested with fungal blight‚ what a fright
[Pre-Chorus]
I could make an escape through the padlocked door
But every step that I take on this creaky floor
Is making horrible squeaks that I can't ignore
Or Granny knows exactly where I am
[Chorus]
Granny‚ Granny‚ elder foe
How'd I get here; I don't know
Can't we shake and make it so I can go
Let me go
[Verse 2]
I need a hammer and a couple keys
I need to whisper because I see Granny's knees
Air so thick with her dank perfume
Fog that follows her 'round the room
Breath so close that I must assume that I'm doomed
[Pre-Chorus]
She's got a keen set of ears like you won't believe
And keeps a half dozen traps up her Granny sleeve
Besides a thick wooden bat to prevent my leave
I wish she'd knit a quilt or play some bridge
[Chorus]
Granny, Granny right below
She's a Hide-and-Seeking pro
Tracks you down by audio, why‚ hello
Let me go
[Bridge]
Granny's in the hall, calling through the walls
"Want to play hide and seek?"
Gotta run, gotta hide‚ Granny's planning homocide
"Come and give your Granny a kiss on the cheek!"
[Verse 3]
I just shot Granny and I hope she's dead
But if she isn't, I'm sure she'll come cut off my head
What could open up Granny's door
Why is this inside Granny's drawer
Where was Granny right here before on the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm stuck in her house, and she's out on the prowl
With her bat in her hand and a permanent scowl
On her rotted old face and she smells kinda foul
Like a shambling sack of prunes
[Chorus]
Granny, Granny, spreading woe
Everywhere that Granny goes
Racing, chasing to and fro even though
Granny's too slow to catch me...
[Chorus]
Granny, Granny, well of woe
Geriatric horror show
Might have passed on long ago, let me go
Let me go
