Monsters

They don't hide under the beds anymore
It's that they're kissing you goodnight
And leaving roses at the door

And they don't need any claws
To catch you by the soul
And they don't wait until it's dark
Yeah, they show up at your breakfast table
Not the ones from the movies
And not the ones from outer space
Oh mama, I swear I seen them face to face

The monsters don't hide
Like they used to
The monsters don't hide
Like they used to

And they'll be no bedtime stories
To chase them all away
See, you'll find them right beside ya
Right before they tear your world away
And sometimes they'll be beautiful like mermaids
And sometimes they look like you and me, yeah

The monsters don't hide
Like they used to
I said the monsters don't hide
Like they used to
