Another night has breezed me by Too much sleep has gone in haste Somnolence is what makes me drink coffee sometimes Oh oh oh, Instead, take me where the monsters once lurked In between the crevices of my old crypt that remains inert I want to take a peek of the catacombs Where I sometimes visit in my sleep
Oh ** **, Where's that sense of humor I once had? Couldn't speak now With the tongue I once had I'm enshrouded in nostalgia With silly monsters caught in between Stuck in my daydreams I can't help but imagine the past
Oh oh oh, That was my wonderful life Little kids on the pave Laughing and falling on their knees And flippant little fingers making a scene If I could only spring back To the time when my essence was clean Back to the home where I pestered the words "Please, please, please" To the point of my content, when I could no longer protest When I finally drowned asleep in the summer breeze
Cheers to my childhood days And to the housebound trance of old school lullabies Where my loving family of special hearts Defended the tears I cried Oh, oh, oh Provoked by silly monsters I waved goodbye Never did I think I would miss so very much Those glorious days of when my silly monsters Brought mischief and thrived
The monsters in our closets, monsters underneath our beds... I'm sure many of us can relate. :)
