Mayhem
You sleep with lights on
Though the monsters have gone
Your Mom doesn't know
And you sure don't show
But you can't be sure if they'll come back again
And you're scared of what she seems to call 'her friend'
And nobody tells you what to do
You're on your own, for all they care you move to Timbuktu
Can you peel off the past?
Oh no! Not me!
Not now, not later.
Oh why, why me?
Oh mayhem, oh mayhem!
And you toss and turn and stay awake all night
Oh mayhem, oh mayhem!
Toss and turn until the break of light
Oh mayhem, oh mayhem!
Nobody tells you what to do
You're on your own, for all they care you move to Timbuktu
Can you peel off the past?
The past
All the past
Oh no! Not me!
Not now and not later.
Oh why, why me?
Oh mayhem, oh mayhem!
Take a load off the back of your mind
And just say it, just say it
I'm just saying
Though the monsters have gone
Your Mom doesn't know
And you sure don't show
But you can't be sure if they'll come back again
And you're scared of what she seems to call 'her friend'
And nobody tells you what to do
You're on your own, for all they care you move to Timbuktu
Can you peel off the past?
Oh no! Not me!
Not now, not later.
Oh why, why me?
Oh mayhem, oh mayhem!
And you toss and turn and stay awake all night
Oh mayhem, oh mayhem!
Toss and turn until the break of light
Oh mayhem, oh mayhem!
Nobody tells you what to do
You're on your own, for all they care you move to Timbuktu
Can you peel off the past?
The past
All the past
Oh no! Not me!
Not now and not later.
Oh why, why me?
Oh mayhem, oh mayhem!
Take a load off the back of your mind
And just say it, just say it
I'm just saying
