My Mama told me

don't be afraid

the bogymen are not real

and you will never be alone dearest,

Mama will always be with you.

 

Years have gone by, and

Mama is dead, but

sometimes in this place

where I now live,

I see her, in my more lucid moments

I see her, she tells me

you will never be alone dearest so

don't be afraid dearest one

the bogymen are not real, and

Mama will always be with you.

 

But when they give me my tablets

the one's that make me sleepy,

the one's that make me dribble

I talk to my secret friends

who live inside my head,

they tell me that I

will never be alone  and

that the bogymen are not real, for

that's what Mama said,but

My Mama is dead.
