lyrics

I’m living in a fairytale of my own devising
But not the kind that Disney sells
The kind they used to tell the kids
So they wouldn’t stay out late at night

There's a witch at the end of my bed most nights and I can't sleep
Lord won't you come and rescue me

I'm living inside an old wives’ tale they'd tell the kids to scare them straight
I know I won’t sleep
If you want to play with fire I will show you your fate
All I do is dream

There's a witch at the end of my bed most nights and I can't sleep
Lord won't you come down and rescue me
There's a witch at the end of my bed
staring me down burning holes in the back of my head

Mother Mary won’t you hear my calls
The Lord hasn’t heard a single word I’ve said
You’ll be screaming for your mother before the end

There's a witch at the end of my bed most nights and I can't sleep
I know I won’t sleep
Lord won't you come down and rescue me
All I do is dream
