It's the 'bogeyman' that haunts our sleep
forces us into counting sheep
fills our mind with scary thoughts
the chance of recooperation thwarts
he slips out quietly from where he hides
behind us - laying on our sides
and fills our minds with scary thoughts our total logical cognition distorts
uncertain darkness makes perception flee
our brains fill gaps our eyes can't see
which fills our minds with scary thoughts
a monster howls; a demon snorts
"go to sleep there's nothing there!"
too late our mind is now aware
and fills our head with scary thoughts
of beasts of every size and sorts
as we lay safe in our warm beds
...you know the bogeyman
is just In our heads!
