There lies a hollow in the back 40 acres
A valley so small you might miss
The ravens that flock to the hawthorns, forsaken,
'Tween meadowy hills, an abyss.
Beware,
Beware,
Beware of the goblins
Mighty outdwellers of the bog,
Beware,
Beware,
Oh, Beware of the goblins
Lest you disappear in the fog.
Green eyes are shining from the depths of the shadows
They're hungry for offerings of beer
Oh don't let them pull you from the path to the grotto,
I feel their breath tiptoeing near.
Beware,
Beware,
Beware of the goblins
Mighty outdwellers of the bog,
Beware,
Beware,
Oh, Beware of the goblins
Lest you disappear in the fog.
Bravely go forth into new situations,
Adventuring onward to shed
The baggage that tricks you in anticipation
Of old wounds like scars in your head.
Beware,
Beware,
Beware of the goblins
Mighty outdwellers of the bog,
Beware,
Beware,
Oh, Beware of the goblins
Lest you disappear in the fog.
Know that your fear is a crafty illusion
A tension that grasps at your guts
I know that love is a sly substitution
For climbing one's way out of ruts.
Beware,
Beware,
Beware of the goblins
Mighty outdwellers of the bog,
Beware,
Beware,
Oh, Beware of the goblins
Lest you disappear in the fog.
But love is the only unconditional answer
To age old attachments and guck.
Boundaries give you power, over who enters,
Be they lovers or goblins or schmucks.
Beware,
Beware,
Beware of the goblins
Mighty outdwellers of the bog,
Beware,
Beware,
Oh, Beware of the goblins
Lest you disappear in the fog.
Beware, beware, beware of the goblins,
Lest you disappear in the fog.
