Don'T Quit Your Daydream
I tried so long to get into your head
While you would sleep in the dead of the night
To be the monster underneath your bed
Yet mid nightmare, I'd start to feel contrite
I asked the greats to teach me how to scare
So in the darkness you would feel terror
My own conscience kept me from getting there
No condition of my kind much rarer
For we all vie for the same promotion
Big bucks for boogeymen are in the screams
All I want to do is cause commotion
More than big rainbows and babbling streams
But im the the nice guy on our nightmare team
They just keep saying, "Don't quit your daydream"
