[Verse 1]

The vampires sucking dry the innocent

Jackknives they stabbed the good Samaritan

These fingertips spill blood on tape recorders

Now cut my iris Miss America

[Pre-Chorus]

But our love is a fortress

Where we will rewind

Videotapes and c-cassettes

Of the better times

[Chorus]

We'll sleep tonight

We'll just leave the light on (sleep away the evil)

We'll sleep tonight

Hold each other tighter

[Verse 2]

Avengers tried to wake the sleeping crowd

But the masses drown in their anemia

Now the plot thickens, the path narrows

The odds are against us all

And the sunburns kill this prince of Persia

[Pre-Chorus]

But our love is a fortress

Where we will rewind

Videotapes and c-cassettes

Of the better times

[Chorus]

We'll sleep tonight

We'll just leave the light on (sleep away the evil)

We'll sleep tonight

Hold each other tighter (sleep away the evil)

[Post-Chorus]

When our love is a fortress

Where we will rewind

Videotapes and c-cassettes

Of the better times

Our love is a fortress

Where we will rewind

Videotapes and c-cassettes

Videotapes and c-cassettes

[Verse 3]

Avengers tried to wake the sleeping crowd

But the masses drown in their anemia

Now the plot thickens, the path narrows

The odds are against us all

And the sunburns kill this prince of Persia

[Pre-Chorus]

But our love is a fortress

Where we will rewind

Videotapes and c-cassettes

Of the better times

[Chorus]

We'll sleep tonight

We'll just leave the light on (sleep away the evil)

We'll sleep tonight

Hold each other tighter

[Post-Chorus]

When our love is a fortress

Where we will rewind

Videotapes and c-cassettes

Of the better times

Our love is a fortress

Where we will rewind

Videotapes and c-cassettes

Videotapes and c-cassettes
