Goodnight Lyrics - Masters Of The Universe - Pulp

Now it's coming to the end of the evening 

The time when the ceiling sways and objects jerk out of place 

Your eyelids heavy, you make your way down the yellow streets 

past rows and rows of houses 

curtains drawn tight against the cold night air 

to a flight of stairs 

which lead to a room 

where a bed is waiting for you to lie down 

perhaps alone, perhaps not 

and go to sleep again

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

They wait alone 

in unused rooms 

they sit and they remember 

Oh, please remember 

So you lie on your back in the dark 

and listen to the blood rushing in your ears 

and the soft "tick, tick, tick" of your watch against the mattress springs 

Patterns merge behind your eyes 

Purple and green, glowing gently 

and all is soft with furry darkness 

You yawn once 

turn on your side 

and fall to sleep again 

They wait alone 

they bathed your eyes 

when nights were cold 

Remember 

Oh, please remember 

Photos 

There's something you've forgotten 

When you awoke later that night the bedroom was cold and you were alone 

Alone and afraid of the dark 

Watching 

Waiting 

Watching 

Waiting 

As you lie on your back 

naked beneath the cold sheets 

Not dead, just sleeping 

Sleeping 

And you will never wake again.
