Monsters Lyrics - Shine On - Sarah Mclachlan

When we were young 

There were always creatures lurking under the bed 

A thousand year old dragon lived deep in the lake 

And he said "Don't be afraid" 

So you dove in 

He seemed so sweet and lovely he made you laugh 

And made you forget about the rain 

Showed you new tricks on guitar 

Hidden talents that erases the pain, ah 

And don't you know that there's a wolf 

Stalking in sheep's clothing 

Tells me he's the real thing 

Think what your life would be missing 

If you didn't have him to sing 

To sing about 

Three headed monsters 

They want your money wanna be in the picture 

Be your friend 

They fill your pool 

With alligators are they all just jokers or are they cruel 

They light up when they see you 

Like there's no where else that they'd rather be 

Than by your side 

Then they promise you the stars 

But they're really just along for the ride, ah 

And don't you know that there's a wolf 

Stalking in sheep's clothing 

Tells me he's the real thing 

Think what your life would be missing 

If you didn't have him to sing 

To sing about, ah ah 

Ah ah, ah 

Is it the sparkle 

In their eyes or the knowledge of the ways of the world 

The way they kiss 

The way they hold you 

Has made you blind to the fangs and the fire 

There's a wolf 

Stalking in sheep's clothing 

Tells me he's the real thing 

Think what your life would be missing 

If you didn't have him to sing 

To sing about, ah 

Ah ah, ah ah 

Ah ah, ah, ah ah
