Don't sing me lullabies
I won't close my eyes, I can't close my eyes
It's true, I'm doomed
Till dawn shines throughGot too many things to do
Got friends to see, I can't miss a thing
It's true, I'm through
I'm screwed, ungluedI won't close my eyes, I can't close my eyes
I never close my eyes
You see, they're always there with funny hair
Oh, I'm so scaredIt happens to me every night
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me
They always want to take a bite
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat meAnd if you think this isn't real
I'll show you wounds that never heal
To them, I'm just a happy meal
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat meMake the coffee black as night
Help me through the night
I know their appetite for me
I'm meat, but I'm sweet as can beAnd if I do too much booze
I begin to snooze
I hear the big old floppy shoes
It's true, I'm stew, unchewedI won't close my eyes, I can't close my eyes
I never close my eyes
See, they're always there with that funny hair
Oh, I'm so scaredIt happens to me every night
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me
They always want to take a bite
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat meAnd if you think this isn't real
I'll show you wounds that never heal
To them, I'm just a happy meal
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me
