Description: Manny was having a pretty alright life. That is, until the government took him away from his rock-star uncle and sent him to live a Mrs. Frieda's. Since then, he's almost died, like, a billion times. Some of the other kids are pretty cool, though. They don't even care that he's part demon. (That part's a secret. Don't tell anyone.)

lyrics

In the dead of night
There’s a fire in the sky
It leads to a home

When the lights go down
The monsters come out
We are not alone

I used to have a normal life
Far from terrors in the night
Just my uncle and me

But they took me away
Said I need a place to stay
Told me it’ll be okay

There’s lead paint on the walls
And asbestos through the halls
And an endless flight of stairs

Mrs. Frieda starts to wheeze
And I just can’t believe
This can’t be happening to me

(Chorus)
I feel the shock starting to hit
More than a feeling, I know that this is it
We’re all terrible and freakish kids
At least we know we’re halfway home

Now I lie awake in bed
‘Cause there’s voices in my head
And a fire up on the roof

Well, the trouble starts again
But at least now I’ve got friends
Who are just as weird as me

Men in Black come around
So wild dogs get put down
Then a bomb went off in town
I got shot in the face
But I guess I’ll be okay
For us, it’s just another day

[Chorus]

I keep waiting for this nightmare to end
Until then I can pretend
An angel can just let this demon be
My friends are all freaks like me

[Chorus]
