The thunder woke me
In the middle of the night
From a nightmare that I couldn't recall
I closed my eyes again
And tried to fall asleep
But I thought I heard a bell in the hall
The room was silent
Then the bell began to jingle
And the wooden hallway
Floor made a sound
A single footstep broke the silence
I was sweating
It was time for me to stand on the ground
I jerked myself out
Of the warmness of the sheets
And I shivered as my feet hit the floor
I started shouting
Just in case there was a thief
On the other side of my bedroom door
I said:
"You better get out!
Before I shoot you!
You better get out!"
I started to shout:
"I've got a shotgun!"
I started to shout
There was a moment
Of extraordinary silence
Then a gunshot rang out loud in the hall
A speeding bullet
Splintered through my bedroom door
And exploded in the opposite wall
I fell down to my knees
And crawled into the corner
In the closet was a shotgun and shells
I should have loaded it
Before I started shouting
But I thought I mighta 'magined the bell
Instead:
"You're going to die!"
He started shouting:
"You're going to die!
Your threat was a lie!"
The thief continued:
"Your threat was a lie!"
My gun was loaded
In a fraction of a second
And I pointed it at my bedroom door
I heard the twisting of the knob
I pulled the trigger
He was dead before his gun hit the floor
I said:
"You're going to Hell!"
I started shouting:
"You're going to Hell!
Why you wearing a bell?
You motherfucker!
Why you wearing a bell?"
