When I reach out at night

I never get what I reach out for

what is pushed out

is not as harmful as what's takin in

your closed up for the night

don't let anyone else in

your closed up for life

don't let anyone else in



the bad things that happen

all happen to somebody else

do and be done

and pretend you had some kind of choice



(Chorus)

Sleepy time for little boys

and sleepy time for little girls

don't let all this racket disturb you

Sleepy time for little boys

and sleepy time for little girls

don't let these abruptions disrupt you

don't let the bad people want you



The stars in the sky

will keep watch over people who cry

but they can't repair

all the pain brought to people by day



(Chorus)



crickets are screamin

bacteria's creaping

the dishwashers turns its way to a solution

and blood may be spillin

and I'm so glad your willin

to wonder just what you can say

hope the fan oscillates it away



little lids close won't be open until mornin sun

its there that you find all the things you pretend that you have



(Chorus)



Sleepy time for little boys

sleepy time for the little girls

Sleepy time for little boys

sleepy time for the little girls
