Say hello to the rug's topography It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it Say hello to the shrinking in your head You can't see it but you know its there so don't neglect it
I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white She's got everything I need pharmacy keys She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys
Say hello to all the apples on the ground They were once in your eyes but you sneezed them out while sleeping Say hello to everything you've left behind It's even more a part of your life now that you can't touch it
I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white She's got everything I need some pills and a little cup She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys
Don’t fret precious, I’m here Step away from the window Go back to sleep
Lay your head down child, I won’t let the boogie men come Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums Pay no mind to the rabble, pay no mind to the rabble Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind what other voices say, they don’t care about you like I do Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils See, they don’t give a fuck about you, like I do Just stay with me, safe and ignorant, go back to sleep, go back to sleep
Lay your head down child, I won’t let the boogie men come Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums Pay no mind to the rabble, pay no mind to the rabble Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums

Swaying to the rhythm of the new world order and Count bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums The boogie men are coming, the boogie men are coming Keep your head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war dums
Stay with me, safe and ignorant, just stay with me, Hold you and protect you from the other ones, the evil ones don’t love you, son
