| You know there's a monster living under your bed. What you may not realise is how happy it is about how much it terrifies you. |

| I'm Under Your Bed |
| Night dark, No moon. Quiet street, No lights. Sleepy house. Bedtime soon. I'm good At nights. Mum reads. Then a kiss. You believe What she said. Lights off. You miss That I'm Under your bed. Little yawns. Little sighs. Snuggle in Real deep. Open mouth; Close eyes. Relax. Go to sleep. Have sweet Gentle dreams. Feel safe, No dread. How peaceful It seems... But I'm Under your bed. I lurk in the darkness; no one ever dusts down here. You think that you checked, but I hid behind the soccer ball. I liked that I smelled your fear. As the night wears on, I'll crawl up onto your pillow And lick your ear. Perhaps I'll take a bite instead. You can't be sure I'm still under your bed. Nice room. Good toys. Mum and Dad Next door. It always Annoys Them when you Jump across the floor So that I won't Be easily Fed. They don't Believe That I'm Under your bed. And you're Reassured By what They say. They've half-convinced you That I'm Just a story Anyway. That's great For me. You sleep Overhead And only I'm sure That I'm Under your bed. The shadows are thick on your harmless hardwood floor. So you never know exactly what's down there. Why don't you check once more? Once you fall asleep, the room belongs to me. I've a lot in store. I bet you've got a tasty head. It's cute you think I'd stay under the bed. You're safe And warm On the verge Of sleep. You know nothing Can harm You. That's my Cue to creep Out of My den And up your Bedspread. I do good work When I'm on top Of your bed. Night dark, No moon. Quiet street, No lights. Sleepy house. Midnight soon. I'm good At nights. But don't Worry so; I don't Want you dead. It's enough That you know That I'm Under your bed. Admit it: You know That I'm Under your bed. Back to Music page |
