Well here we go..

Lyrics

I just caught a glimpse
Not sure if I was dreaming

I just caught a glimpse
Was I just daydreaming?

Something in the shadows
Something not quite right
Something in the shadows
Did not belong in daylight

I just caught a glimpse
You know it looked so real
I just caught a glimpse
While I was having forty winks

It was only for a second
And then it was gone
Only for a second
Something that did not belong

Gonna call the police
Gonna state my case
I saw something last night
Something out of Fright Night!

On the page there is a sinister atmosphere and then you deliver it with a chirp and a click of the heels - makes me wonder who the character might be to be singing it in this way - really brings a new dimension to a frightful night :)

Nice delivery, I liked the way you sang forty winks. A bit Violent Femmes feeling.

This ones fun! I love the jump from, "what was that!?" to "Ok I'm gonna call the police." This ones got me grinning!

I like this. At first I wasn't sure if the glimpse was going to get any more detail, and you gave just amount at the end while leaving it up to the listener to imagine what you saw. Great job.

All the police! Call the police! (Or at least 911…) love the build and suspense in this one.

Nice! I like how we are guessing what it is. The best horror stories are ambiguous and never show the monster. It seems you are implying the monster but letting us decide - zombie, vampire, serial killer, etc. I like it!

…wow! - coming up with such a great and polished piece after only 17 minutes into the Skirmish: just wow!…great lyrics too - great presentation - i like it…

I like the vagueness of this. Almost makes me feel like if and when the narrator ever tried to tell the police, they were most likely ignored bc they didn't actually know exactly what they saw lol. Idk if that was the intention but either way, nice job here!
