Lyrics

[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
