My ghosts and monsters They wake me every night Sharp teeth and bad breath Whispering your name
I'm not quite lonely Feels more like scared to death Your memory haunts me When I put myself to bed
I've been sleeping with the lights on Talking in my sleep and waking to an empty home I've been sleeping with the lights on Since you've been gone
Bela Lugosi And Boris Karloff too Make such strange bedfellows Baby how do they know you, yeah
They'll stay for hours They'll haunt me all night long Talk about your new love 'Til the crack of dawn, yeah yeah
I've been sleeping with the lights on Talking in my sleep and waking to an empty home I've been sleeping with the lights on Since you've been gone
I know you're not to blame For the shape I'm in It's the nature of the beast But how do I explain When it's time to love again The monsters are real Oh believe me
I've been sleeping with the lights on Talking in my sleep and waking to an empty home I've been sleeping with the lights on Talking in my sleep and waking to an empty home Sleeping with the lights on Oh oh, baby, sleeping with the lights on Talking in my sleep, waking to an empty home Since you've been gone, yeah Waking to an empty home Since you've been gone I've been sleeping with the lights on Since you've been gone, yeah yeah
