Sarah McLachlan Monsters song lyrics

When we were young

there were always creatures lurking under the bed

A thousand year old dragon lived deep in the lake

and he said don't be afraid

So you dove in

He seemed so sweet and lovely he made you laugh

and made you forget about the rain

Showed you new tricks on guitar

hidden talents that erases the pain

And don't you know that there's a wolf stalking in sheep's

clothing tells me he's the real thing

Think what your life would be missing

if you didn't have him to sing

To sing about

Three headed monsters they want your money wanna be in the picture be your friend

They fill your pool with alligators are they all just jokers or are they cruel

They light up when they see you like there's no where else that they'd rather be than by your side

Then they promise you the stars but they're really just along for the ride

And don't you know that there's a wolf stalking in sheep's

clothing tells me he's the real thing

Think what your life would be missing

if you didn't have him to sing

To sing about

Is it the sparkle in their eyes or the knowledge

of the ways of the world

The way they kiss the way they hold you has made you

blind to the fangs and the fire

There's a wolf stalking in sheep's

clothing tells me he's the real thing

Think what your life would be missing

if you didn't have him to sing

To sing about
