Sandpeople - Sandman lyrics

I just can't stop hitting myself
I'm part White, part Native
No wonder I conflict with myself
That pretty little thing is looking at me
I should ignore it
But I have me one more drink
And I'll leave in the morning
Feeling caught up in between the love
And war in my head
Like good and evil are playing tug
Of war in my head
I shoulda brought this junkie back
It'd make her parents happy
Plus there's a monkey on her back
And it won't stop staring at me

At ease soldier
Soldier sold as sultans overseas
Luckily we're a team
By sеlf-fulfilling prophecies
We'll tеrminate your
Rightfully we hide from these
Ironies to find reprieve
See, I had a revelation in combat boots
The second coming's coming to contact you
'til we're seeing more crosses
Than contact to
Yo, I got news, everyone's got nukes
We'll bomb that too
Just to keep it biblical
The flow's more spiritual than
Conflicts in Israel

I got a bogeyman under my bed
(it's a Sandman) monsters in the closet
But the closet's my head
I got a problem crawling under my skin
(hopeless) pipe dreams and we done already
Smoked up the rest

Why are there so many weirdos
That roam my local streets?
The local folks act like that's how
Many there's supposed to be but it isn't
My system for what's telling
Weird and normal's twisted
Distorted past my fears'
And hormones' limit
Some are lost in a hell
Live for the watches they sell
Eyes closed, they talk to themselves
Or see someone that I don't
People would appear less weird like that
If they were evil experiments
From a nearby lab

It wouldn't be normal if I left
All my lights on to sleep
I've been afraid of getting locked in
The fridge since I was three
Or flushed in the toilet where
Alligators live in the drain
Ideas paralysed and wear on
My decisions I made afraid of the dark
'cause maybe there's a snake or shark
Beware of Sandpeople
We control the rate of your heart
It's not a nightmare
So don't bother pinching your cheek
Just never try to venture to sleep

I got a bogeyman under my bed
(it's a Sandman) monsters in the closet
But the closet's my head
I got a problem crawling under my skin
(hopeless) pipe dreams and we done already
Smoked up the rest

Swallow my tongue in my sleep so
I can taste my emotions
And I haven't slept all week
Kept up by my lonesome
There's a ghost in a shell that's
Got me pacing back and forth
Through these squeaky floors
Peeking through the peephole
On my front door for evil, either or
It's the loud noises that put
My senses in the red
And due to a recent consensus
A certain something's been missing from
The voices in my head
Malnourished nervous wreck
Cursed and blessed
And right above my bed is where the redrum
Curse have bled for months on end

I got a bogeyman under my bed
(it's a Sandman) monsters in the closet
But the closet's my head
I got a problem crawling under my skin
(hopeless) pipe dreams and we done already
Smoked up the rest
It's a Sandman (hopeless)

I'm hiding, I'm hiding
I'm hiding away from you
Don't see me, don't find me
You'll be sorry if you do! Boo!
