Safer

Why am I so scared

That the shadows on the wall from yesterday...

I turn and tell my dad

I saw ghosts in the park wooing girls with cakes

And their moms are scared

'Cause they haven't been home in two or three days

Wind blows trees through the tops of my hair

I saw wolves in the fog, I can see through the rain

Oh, man and things have changed

In the snow filled lakes where there used to be waves

I feel deranged

They're building beaches inside so it's sunny on me

I don't know, I think it's strange

'Cause I know we met before but I cannot place it

I don't know if there's any real danger

But the creatures all know that it's safer in the

dark

Why am I so scared

Of explosions going off just any old way

I turn, ask is it really that bad

They say we've much bigger problems, we got wolves on

the plain

And they left their den 'cause of cracks in the pipes

through the murky graves

They're running just as fast as the hares

They say you shouldn't leave a place if you can eat

there

Oh, man, and things have changed

In the snow filled lakes where there used to be waves

I feel deranged

They're building beaches inside so it's sunny on me

I don't know, I think it's strange

'Cause I know we met before but I cannot place it

I don't know if there's any real danger

But I'm alright if you're alright

I'm alright if you're alright, man

She cuts her diamonds so they

Look like a decoy lover

Many have fine costumes but they're not like mine

He said I'd kiss you, sometimes I

Don't wanna kiss you, don't mean I

Don't like to kiss you, just means these lips are

mine

He just don't jerk and he just don't work and

He got wrapped up in loving but

We opened him just in time

He said don't make your problems my funny problems

Because I've got problems but I'll cover them up in

time

Don't make your troubles my funny troubles

Because I've got troubles

Why we talk about 'em all the time

Like crocodiles sometimes I wanna eat him

Sometimes I just wanna meet him for a

Good meal but to eat you better win so loud

Like crocodiles sometimes he just wanna basement

Sometimes, man, he can never take it when he

Do not look at you but deep inside it's fine, thinking

about

Torture

Don't let it get you down

There's other ways to fight

Torture

I hope it gets you 'round

Shaking it off with me

Man, now don't get too freaky on me
