Sandman

At the strike of midnight 
they locked the doors, the windows 
and turned off the lights 
theres a little red swing in the yard 
but the kids are in bed from playing too hard 
their all asleep, their safe it's true 
as the sandman comes flying out of the blue 
he sits on the roof laughing, waiting for you 
looking for children to scare in the night 
and fill their dreams with nothing but fright 
screaming and kicking they wake up in bed 
hoping to find that their really not dead 
it's only a dream, it'll all go away 
little do they know they should stay up and pray 
but that will not help 
he will be back on some other day 
and the sandman is waiting 
on some little kids roof 
laughing, just waiting 
so you fall asleep too
