Goodnight Moon
The Elegant Too Lyrics

There's a nail in the door
There is a nail sticking out of the door

And there's glass on the lawn
There are shattered pieces of glass on the grass

Tacks on the floor
Sharp little nails on the ground

And the TV is on
The television is turned on

And I always sleep with my guns when you're gone
I have a habit of sleeping with my firearms when you are not here

There's a blade by the bed
There is a knife next to the bed

And a phone in my hand
I am holding a phone in my hand

A dog on the floor
A canine lying on the floor

And some cash on the nightstand
There is a pile of money on the nightstand

When I'm all alone the dreaming stops
I stop dreaming when I am alone

And I just can't stand
It is unbearable to me

What should I do I'm just a little baby
I am helpless and unsure what to do

What if the lights go out
What happens if the lights turn off

And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan
The wind's eerie howl starts to pick up

Outside the door he followed me home
Someone followed me to the door

So goodnight moon I want the sun
I hope for a brighter tomorrow

If it's not here soon I might be done
If things do not improve soon, I might give up

No it won't be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon
I need to say goodnight before it becomes too late

There's a shark in the pool
A shark is in the swimming pool

And a witch in the tree
A witch is on top of the tree

A crazy old neighbor and he's been watching me
An eccentric elderly neighbor has been keeping an eye on me

And there's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall
I hear someone walking confidently down the hallway

Something's under the bed
Something is hiding under the bed

Now it's out in the hedge
Now it is somewhere in the bushes outside

There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
There is a large black bird perched on my windowsill

And I hear something scratching through the wall
I hear a noise of something clawing the wall

Well you are up so high
You are much better off than me

How can you save me?
I wonder how you can help me

When the dark comes here tonight
When nightfall arrives

To take me up to my front walk and into the bed
To lead me inside and to my sleeping quarters

Where it kisses my face
Where darkness envelopes and traps me in its embrace

And eats my head
And consumes my thoughts and worries
