Late at night I choose to live again, my friend
Invading all your dreams
Planting the seeds of fear inside your head
Feeds my need to hear you scream

Your unconsciousness I invade
In sweet slumber you're enslaved
Just make sure the bed is made
A nightmare from which you can't be saved

Turn out the lights
Sleep down so I won't bite
Turn out the lights
Mommy tucks you in warm and tight?

Keep your eyes on the clock till morning comes my friend
My grip on you will not cease
Sickening visions that you're sure to dread
A ghastly lullaby baby

Your unconsciousness I invade
In sweet slumber you're enslaved
Just make sure the bed is made
A nightmare from which you can't be saved

Turn out the lights
Sleep down so I won't bite
Turn out the lights
Mommy tucks you in warm and tight?

Your unconsciousness I invade
In sweet slumber you're enslaved
Just make sure the bed is made
A nightmare from which you can't be saved

Turn out the lights
Sleep down so I won't bite
Turn out the lights
Mommy tucks you in warm and tight?

Don't try to fight
Just close your eyes
Can't run and hide
In your dreams I'm alive
