Say your prayers little one

don't forget, my son

to include everyone



I fuck you in, warm within

keep you free from sin

till the sandman he comes



sleep with one eye open

gripping your pillow tight



exit light (what is it)

enter night

take my hand

off to never never land



something's wrong, shut the light

heavy thoughts tonight

and they aren't of snow white



dreams of war, dreams of liars

dreams of dragon's fire

and of things that will bite



sleep with one eye open

gripping your pillow tight



exit light (come on)

enter night

take my hand

off to never never land



(Put your hands together)



now I lay me down to sleep

pray the lord my soul to keep

if I die before I wake

pray the lord my soul to take



hush little baby, don't say a word

and never mind that noise you heard

it's just the beast under your bed,

in your closet, in your head



exit light (come on)

enter night

grain of sand



exit light

enter night

take my hand

we're off to never never land
