lyrics

I cannot find the words
What I’ll say you’ve probably heard
I see you lying there, see your blank stare

There’s something ‘round the corner
yeah, there’s something hiding under your bed
There’s a monster in the closet
just waiting to be fed
Don’t be scared, don’t be alarmed
Don’t be scared, don’t be alarmed

You will hear it like a symphony playing ‘round and ‘round in your mind
You will hear the bells ringing loud and free coming up from behind
Like a parade, like a rainstorm, like a light
Like a parade, like a rainstorm, like a light

It’s like the trees on the ground
that were made
to keep the sun from our eyes
and give us a little shade

Well, there’s something ‘round the corner
yeah, there’s something hiding under your bed
There’s a monster in the closet
just waiting to be fed
Don’t be scared, don’t be alarmed
Don’t be scared, don’t be alarmed

You will hear it like a symphony playing ‘round and ‘round in your mind
You will hear the bells ringing loud and free coming up from behind
Like a parade, like a rainstorm, like a light
Like a parade, like a rainstorm, like a light
