lyrics

This is the hardest part.

I live under your bed
I crawl around the night
And when the light comes on
I am gone
What's that there in your cup?
I won't eat you up
I just want to feel your touch

But I don't want to get you drunk anymore
I don't want your brain to bleed anymore
I'll drink it all so you won't
I'll be the monster so you won't

All the little monsters are doing their best
All the little monsters are doing their best
All the little monsters are doing their best
Not to grab the foot hanging from the bed

I live under your bed
I crawl around the night
And when the light comes on
I am gone
What's that there in your cup?
Will you gulp it up?
Is the pressure too much?

'Cause I don't want to get you drunk anymore
I don't want your brain to bleed anymore
I'll drink it all so you won't
I'll be the monster so you won't

All the little monsters are doing their best
All the little monsters are doing their best
All the little monsters are doing their best
Not the grab the foot hanging from the bed

I'll be the monster so you won't.
