When I reach out at night
I never get what I reach out for
what is pushed out
is not as harmful as what's takin in
your closed up for the night
don't let anyone else in
your closed up for life
don't let anyone else in
the bad things that happen
all happen to somebody else
do and be done
and pretend you had some kind of choice
(Chorus)
Sleepy time for little boys
and sleepy time for little girls
don't let all this racket disturb you
Sleepy time for little boys
and sleepy time for little girls
don't let these abruptions disrupt you
don't let the bad people want you
The stars in the sky
will keep watch over people who cry
but they can't repair
all the pain brought to people by day
(Chorus)
crickets are screamin
bacteria's creaping
the dishwashers turns its way to a solution
and blood may be spillin
and I'm so glad your willin
to wonder just what you can say
hope the fan oscillates it away
little lids close won't be open until mornin sun
its there that you find all the things you pretend that you have
(Chorus)
Sleepy time for little boys
sleepy time for the little girls
Sleepy time for little boys
sleepy time for the little girls
