[Verse 1] Rock-a-bye, bite by bite Moon got teeth tonight I tuck my fear in tight Under the sheetlight [Verse 2] Tap-tap on my chest Little thump, little test Pillow saints at rest But the room won’t rest [Pre-Chorus] Hold me, hold me, hold me low Don’t let the mirror know I can hear the window go Aaa-yeee, down we go [Chorus] Rock me mean, rock me mean In my little nightmare dream Rock me mean, rock me mean Sweetest scare you’ve ever seen Yodel-yo, yodel-yo Pull me where the dark things go Rock me mean, rock me mean Sweetest scare you’ve ever seen [Verse 3] Mouth drums in the dark Knock-knock at the heart Grin like a bitten spark Then it falls apart [Pre-Chorus] Hold me, hold me, hold me near Make the shadows disappear Aaa-yeee, in my ear I’m still laughing here [Chorus] Rock me mean, rock me mean In my little nightmare dream Rock me mean, rock me mean Sweetest scare you’ve ever seen Yodel-yo, yodel-yo Pull me where the dark things go Rock me mean, rock me mean Sweetest scare you’ve ever seen [Bridge] If the wolves come close I’ll hum them home If the blacking sky Starts calling my name I’ll go, I’ll go With a grin and a shiver Aaa-yeee, aa-yeee Till the ceiling splits [Chorus] Rock me mean, rock me mean In my little nightmare dream Rock me mean, rock me mean Sweetest scare you’ve ever seen Yodel-yo, yodel-yo Pull me where the dark things go Rock me mean, rock me mean Sweetest scare you’ve ever seen
