The Monster in the Mist Lyrics

We need to talk about what happened on that autumn night

Way back in 1952

Mysterious monster illuminated by cold moonlight

A night our sleepy town would rue

A close encounter of the third kind

A close encounter of the worst kind

Hold your loved ones dear

Now the thing draws near

One September night in Flatwoods

Hold your loved ones dear

Now the thing draws near

One September night in Flatwoods

Pulsating fireball within the wooded countryside

Its ghastly origins unknown

A sickening sight, a shadow bounding after us

Tonight, we know we're not alone

A close encounter of the third kind

A close encounter of the worst kind

Hold your loved ones dear

Now the thing draws near

One September night in Flatwoods

Hold your loved ones dear

Now the thing draws near

One September night in Flatwoods

A close encounter of the third kind

He leaves a trail, rotting stench

A close encounter of the worst kind

Left burning lesions in our flesh

Hold your loved ones dear

Now the thing draws near

One September night in Flatwoods

Hold your loved ones dear

Now the thing draws near

One September night in Flatwoods

Hold your loved ones dear

Now the thing draws near

One September night in Flatwoods

Hold 'em tight

Curse this night

In the pale moonlight
