Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't fret, precious, I'm here
Step away from the window (Step away from the window)
Go back to sleep
[Chorus]
Lay your head down, child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Countin' 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
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
Just stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Swayin' to the rhythm of the new world order, and
Counting 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 the war drums
[Outro]
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
Written by: Billy Howerdel, Maynard James Keenan
