They’re meeting in the woods tonight.
Burning crosses. Dressed in white.
Maybe take in a sacrifice. Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice.
So happy to make your subtraction.
Setting off a little chain reaction...sleep tight.
I’m worried about my friends today.
Seems me and them have absolutely nothing to say.
I remember when we drank till dawn. I hate to say it but those days are gone.
I don’t even think I want them back.
Probably avoided me a heart attack.
Sleep tight. If I can tonight.
When someone’s always looking for a riot to inïcite.
Sleep tight on the watertight dynamite.
I don’t bite. I never had an appetite.
Sleep tight.
I used to be a vengeful man. But no more.
I don’t hold grudges now...well, maybe three or four.
Just rats and conniving dogs. Hanging on the coat tails. Riding through the fog.
They say, “Forget what you say...it doesn’t matter.”
As they stalk your sentences. Cloak and dagger.
Sleep tight. If I can tonight.
When someone’s always looking for a riot to incite.
Sleep tight on the watertight dynamite.
I don’t bite. I never had an appetite.
Sleep tight. If I can tonight.
When someone’s always looking for a riot to incite.
Sleep tight on the watertight dynamite.
I don’t bite. I never had an appetite.
Sleep tight. If I can tonight.
When someone’s always looking for a riot to incite.
Sleep tight on the watertight dynamite.
I don’t bite. I never had an appetite.
Sleep tight.
Sleep tight.
Sleep tight.
Sleep tight.
