They don't hide under the beds anymore

It's that they're kissing you goodnight

And leaving roses at the door

And they don't need any claws

To catch you by the soul

And they don't wait until it's dark

Yeah, they show up at your breakfast table

Not the ones from the movies

And not the ones from outer space

Oh mama, I swear I seen them face to face

The monsters don't hide

Like they used to

The monsters don't hide

Like they used to

And they'll be no bedtime stories

To chase them all away

See, you'll find them right beside ya

Right before they tear your world away

And sometimes they'll be beautiful like mermaids

And sometimes they look like you and me, yeah

The monsters don't hide

Like they used to

I said the monsters don't hide

Like they used to
