From the recordings Collected Works, September Mandate, and Bedtime Stories
Monsters are real. They live in your closet, under your bed, and in your head. Fear them or don't. They'll eat you either way.
Lyrics
When you go and look under the bed
For something that creeps up in your head
It tells you that your daddy isn’t dead
That he forgives you for all those bad things that you said
So how are you going to sleep tonight
Babadook alone
These bedtime stories keep me awake at night
When you fall asleep during the day
Yo mama says get your ass up and go play
When his knives come up and rip your eyes away
You can still see his smile as you say
How are you going to live today
Freddy isn’t home
These bedtime stories, please don’t turn the page dear
There’s a monster at the end of this book and I don’t want to be afraid
Then you get to go to the store
Cause your parents are longer very poor
You want the my buddy on the floor
To say hello boy I’m your friend forever more
How you going to sleep tonight
Chuckies on the phone
(Purr)
