lyrics

MONSTERS IN THE DARK

Isn’t it life that makes you crazy
Monsters In the dark
Isn’t it time to quit the circus
And heal that broken heart
Your love has got me on the high wire
With tigers down below
And all around me is a ring of fire
Burning up my heart and soul

Maybe it’s time to let your feelings start to flower
Maybe it’s time to let the sun shine in
‘Cause under this tent you waste away those precious hours
Feeding the clown that’s in denial
Monsters in the dark

Isn’t it life that drives you crazy
Monsters in the dark
Isn’t it true this two bit circus
Looks to tear your heart apart
But my love for you is certain
No tricks no nets no tickets to be sold
You gotta fear that lion tamer
He’ll only cage your soul and make ya old

Maybe it’s time to let your feelings start to flower
Maybe it’s time to let the sun shine in
‘Cause under this tent you waste away the precious hours
Feeding the clown that’s in denial
Monsters in the dark

It’s no wonder why you dream of climbing towers,
The way you used to as a child
(Running, laughing, dancing, chasing ‘round the fireflies)
In that place of fearless wonder free of all disguise
Timeless moments seemed suspended and it’s no surprise
Color faded snapshots show the joy that’s in your eyes
If you take a chance you’ll know that you are for the wiser

Maybe it’s time to let your feelings start to flower
Maybe it’s time to let the sun shine in
‘Cause under this tent you waste away the precious hours
Feeding the clown that’s in denial
Monsters in the dark
