Monsters 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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e112068-sarah_mclachlan~monsters_lyrics.html ]
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

And 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
