Analysis of Spooked
I follow you around everywhere you go
I speak to you when the wind blows
You can hear something but you cannot hear me
I listen to you complaining all the time about me
I come up to you and blow into your ear
And all you do is flap your hands around your ears in fear
You run from me but you cannot hide
I will always be there somewhere by your side
I see the hair starting to stand up on your neck
And the goosebumps rise on you with my every breath
You run into the next room and slam the door behind you
Only to turn around and see me standing in front of you
You scream as loud as you can
Then you wake yourself up from the nightmare you just had
