[Verse] I think that I've seen something That I should not have seen It seemed to look through me As if it could read me As if it... knew me It left me unsettled I felt unclean - a feeling creeping Up vertebrae - set within deeply As if what I was seeing Wasn't all that was before me There's creepy things They creep between the scenes Silently lurking - observing What we don't see Plainly within but a few feet They do creepy things Round corners at three In the morning - heard but yet unseen Left befuddled while struggling To comprehend what is happening [Bridge] Beware Those creepy things Beware (beware) Those creepy things [Chorus] Now I lay me Down to sleep I pray the lord My dreams are sweet If I wake When The floor creaks Lord protect me From things that creep I hope I sleep Safe and sound And wake the same Above the ground But if I don't Stick around Don't let the creeps Drag me down [Verse 2] I think last night I heard me Might have been dreaming It was early - thoughts were swirling As if my mind's lost Or are these my thoughts? They leave me bewildered With a dash of (Come hither) No dilly or dally I start walking quicker And quicker to my bedroom while triggered By the thing I saw in the mirror Maybe my own mind But still feel the terror Etched in my skin bathed in my own error I shouldn't have been there I shouldn't have been there! They always do creepy things When you're alone at three That's why I hold it til I can't In the middle of the night When it's time to freakin' pee! [Bridge 2] Begone You creepy things Be gone be gone (BE GONE!) You creepy things! [Chorus] Now I lay me Down to sleep I pray the lord My dreams are sweet If I wake When The floor creaks Lord protect me From things that creep I hope I sleep Safe and sound And wake the same Above the ground But if I don't Stick around Don't let the creeps Drag me down [Key Change] [Chorus] Now I lay me Down to sleep I pray the lord My dreams are sweet If I wake When The floor creaks Lord protect me From things that creep I hope I sleep Safe and sound And wake the same Above the ground But if I don't Stick around Don't let the creeps Drag me down [End] [Rhythm Change] [Chorus] Now I lay me Down to sleep I pray the lord My dreams are sweet If I wake When The floor creaks Lord protect me From things that creep I hope I sleep Safe and sound And wake the same Above the ground But if I don't Stick around Don't let the creeps Drag me down [SYNTH SOLO] [Chorus] Now I lay me Down to sleep I pray the lord My dreams are sweet If I wake When The floor creaks Lord protect me From things that creep I hope I sleep Safe and sound And wake the same Above the ground But if I don't Stick around Don't let the creeps Drag me down [End]
