Drifting off into slumber


Listen Later

Drifting off into slumber

Panic spreading around the town, and the violence amplifies

the sound

Hell ripped open and there’s demons comin right up through

the ground

Fear not fellow citizens the chimera lies slain, the hero

returned in a nick of time again

That’s right it’s that dashing hero of dreamland, preserving

peace he’s everybody’s friend

Pet the dogs, fluff my pillow and kill the light

Close my eyes and join my adventure tonight

Saving the planet after bedtime, sawing up lumber

I can do anything anytime, as I’m drifting off into slumber

You might wonder can I pull a rabbit from a hat? A rabbit,

sure; and a French speaking cat

And I can be where you need in a flash, catch you when you

fall, be there to change a flat

Have a stiff drink ready right before you explode, help you

figure life’s puzzle; crack the code

Get you smiling, get you ready to go and you’ll be heading

on your way down salvation road

Pet the dogs, fluff my pillow and kill the light

Close my eyes and join my adventure tonight

Saving the planet after bedtime, sawing up lumber

I can do anything anytime, as I’m drifting off into slumber

Fix what’s wrong, make everything right

Lots to do before the morning light

Pack one more, hit me one more number

High time for me to be drifting off into slumber
