Pet

A Perfect Circle

Don't fret precious I'm here

Step away from the window

Go back to sleep



Lay your head down child

I won't let the boogeyman come

Counting bodies like sheep

To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rabble

Pay no mind to the rabble

Head down, go to sleep

To the rhythm of the war drums



Pay no mind what other voices say

They don't care about you

Like I do

Like I do

Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils

See they don't give a fuck about you

Like I do



Just stay with me

Safe and ignorant

Go back to sleep

Go back to sleep



Lay your head down child

I won't let the boogeyman come

Count the bodies like sheep

To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rabble

Pay no mind to the rabble

Head down, go to sleep

To the rhythm of the war drums



I'll be the one to protect you from

Your enemies and all your demons

I'll be the one to protect you from

A will to survive and a voice of reason

I'll be the one to protect you from

Your enemies and your choices son

One and the same I must isolate you

Isolate and save you from yourself



Swayin to the rhythm of the new world order and

Count the bodies like sheep

To the rhythm of the war drum

The boogeymen are coming

The boogeymen are coming

Keep your head down, go to sleep

To the rhythm of a war drum



Stay with me

Safe and ignorant

Just stay with me

Hold you and protect you from the other ones

The evil ones

Don't love you son

Go back to sleep
