Narcotics for the Troubled Mind
Close your eyes
Go to sleep and try to forget all about those
Worries and cares
That guy who punched you in the eye today in the lunch line
What a jerk
Just try to forget about those monsters under that bed
That bed of yours, that cot
That cot that, so flimsy it might turn over any second and you might die
Just try to forget about that guy
Right after that other guy
Kicked you in the shin
Regulate your breathing
Jump right in
Into that bed
With its big soft pillows and comforter too
Keep your hands behind your head
Try to forget about those monsters under your bed
Fangs and dripping claws
Giant paws tear you asunder...
And drag you under.
Under the bed
The bed of that...
Try to forget
Gotta go pee
Try to get out of bed
Monsters will chew on your feet
Drag you under, have a feast
Bad for you, good for them
That's how the world works.
