The Room with the Red Door

Lyrics

[Intro] One, two, three, four! [Verse 1] You left your coat at the funeral home With a brass key sewn in the seam I found your name on a plaster wall And a room that shouldn't be seen The caretaker laughed through a mouthful of pins Said, "Kid, don't turn that lock" But the door swung wide and the cold rushed in At quarter after twelve on the clock [Pre-Chorus] Now every picture in the hall Has your face beneath the glass I hear your shoes on the basement stairs And I know you're coming fast [Chorus] Run from the room with the red door Run till your fingers bleed Something behind it knows your name Something behind it feeds Hey! Hey! The dead don't sleep anymore Hey! Hey! They're waiting on the other side Run from the room with the red door Or let it take you alive [Verse 2] The old house phone began to ring Though the cable had been cut A little girl's voice said, "Come upstairs" Then every window shut The wallpaper peeled in strips from the wall Like skin from a drowning hand I saw your coat at the end of the hall And the key in the caretaker's hand [Pre-Chorus] Now every picture in the hall Has your face beneath the glass I hear your shoes on the basement stairs And I know you're coming fast [Chorus] Run from the room with the red door Run till your fingers bleed Something behind it knows your name Something behind it feeds Hey! Hey! The dead don't sleep anymore Hey! Hey! They're waiting on the other side Run from the room with the red door Or let it take you alive [Bridge] Don't look back! Don't say my name! The lock is gone! The walls are breathing! Don't look back! Don't say my name! When the hinges scream— We run! [Final Chorus] Run from the room with the red door Run till your fingers bleed Something behind it knows your name Something behind it feeds Hey! Hey! The dead don't sleep anymore Hey! Hey! They're waiting on the other side Run from the room with the red door Or let it take you alive Run from the room with the red door Run till your fingers bleed If you hear three knocks from inside Don't answer me [Outro] One, two, three, four! The door is open.
