[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Oh, man and things have changed
In the snow filled lake where there used to be waves
I feel deranged
They're building beaches inside so it's sunny all May
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Why am I so scared
Of explosions going off just any old way
I turn, ask is it that bad
They say we've much bigger problems, we got wolves on the plane
[Verse 6]
And they left their den cause the cracks in the pipe's shooting murky grays
They're running just as fast as the hares
They say you shouldn't leave a place
If you can eat there
[Verse 7]
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 all May
[Verse 8]
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...
[Verse 9]
She dabs her diamonds so they
Look like a decoy lover
Many fine costumes but they're not like mine
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
He kept on jerking, he kept on working
He got wrapped up in loving but
We opened him just in time
[Verse 12]
He said don't make your problems my funny problems
Because I've got problems but I'll cover them up in time
[Verse 13]
Don't make your troubles my funny troubles
Because I've got troubles
Why you talk about them all the time
[Verse 14]
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
[Verse 15]
Like crocodiles
Sometimes he just want a basement
Sometimes, man, he can never take it when he's
Down I look at you, he's deep inside his mind
[Verse 16]
Thinking about torture
Don't let it get you down
There's other ways to fight torture
I hope it gets you around
[Outro]
Man, now don't get too freaky on me
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
[Verse 2]
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
