[Verse 1]
Your insomnia begins to disturb me
And I'm no good at telling stories
It’s much too late to be up on a weeknight
And you're in need of some calming insight
Sweet imagery to ease you to sleep
Sharp teeth on counted sheep
All the sheets are soaked with sweat
And the juice is loose under your bed

[Chorus]
This is your bedtime story
Don't worry, no one is outside
’Cause everything's in here
This is your bedtime story
Too stiff to find a place to hide
Too scared to shed a tear

[Verse 2]
Tonight will shift and move backward in time
From 1 AM to 12:59
The sun will forever shinе in China
And you know if you move they will find you
Sweet imagery to еase you to sleep
The closet creaks to give you the creeps
And now all the sheets are dripping wet
The silence awakens the dead
[Chorus]
This is your bedtime story
Don't worry, no one is outside
'Cause everything's in here
This is your bedtime story
Too stiff to find a place to hide
Too scared to shed a tear

[Bridge]
Crawling cretins on the hardwood floor
Work boot shadows waiting under the door
I never know where this fear comes from
The tooth fairy rips them right out of your gums

[Chorus]
No one is outside
'Cause everything's in here
This is your bedtime story
Too stiff to find a place to hide
Too scared to shed a tear
