Pet - A Perfect Circle

Don’t fret, precious, I’m here

Step away from the window

And go back to sleep

Lay your head down, child

I won’t let the boogeyman come

Counting 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 (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 boogeyman 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

I’ll be the one to protect you from

Your enemies and all your demons

I’ll be the one to protect you from

A will to survive and a voice of reason

I’ll be the one to protect you from

Your enemies and your choices son

They’re one and the same, I must isolate you

Isolate and save you from yourself

Swaying to the rhythm

Of the new world order and

Count the bodies like sheep

To the rhythm of the war drums

The boogeymen are coming

The boogeymen are coming

Keep your head down, go to sleep

To the rhythm of a war drums

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

Go back to sleep
