The man in the background's gonna come around
The man in the background's gonna chase you down
The man in the background's so scary
Cus he don't speak, don't speak
He is always in the shadows
He is out in the unknown
He is looking from the window
Or he's already inside the home
Always stalking, always creeping
He's a force that can't be stopped
Don't even try to reason with him
Don't even try to call the cops
He's always there
Ready to scare
The man in the background's gonna come around
The man in the background's gonna chase you down
The man in the background's so scary
Cus he don't speak, don't speak
When a blade in his hand is all he demands
He can always beat your best laid plans
And he's coming out tonight
With a fright he'll always take a stand
He's always there
Ready to scare
The man in the background's gonna come around
The man in the background's gonna chase you down
The man in the background's so scary
Cus he don't speak, don't speak
Why won't you talk to me
Why won't you let us be
Why can't you set us free
Why did you go on this spree
The man in the background's gonna come around
The man in the background's gonna chase you down
The man in the background's so scary
Cus he don't speak, don't speak
