Lyrics

Hi, it's Claire, I'm not home now so please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can Claire are you there? It's him Claire, it's the sandman claire I just saw him five minutes ago He killed my father and now he's come for me He's got this little shop near the campus where he sells used books and lab equipment to the students I know that it's him, I know that face And the way that he walked, I'll never forget it And those eyes, he tried to fool me with those dark glasses he was wearing but I remember those beady little insect eyes I know I'm sorry, I know that this must sound really weird, It's just that this guy that I saw it was the sandman, It has to be him Spring break is next week so I'll be home in a couple of days and tell you all about it I'm sorry, I love you Claire He tried to steal my eyes when I was little and then he disappeared after he killed my father, I knew he'd be back I was alone and so very small I was alone and dreaming I heard the hard footsteps in the hall I heard my heart screaming They were just friends in my father's room They were just friends when he died There was a voice talking to the moon, It was the voice of midnight The Sandman can provide the serendipity that turns delight into debris You surrendered self control when fantasy appeared You call it truth and purity but all I see is fear There's nothing there that cares for silly children on the moon There's nothing there but air inhabited by you You were just a little boy left in a lonely room so you taught yourself to see a sandman on the moon You gave him the power that you never had the power to be everywhere, the power to be bad I was alone and lingering too long I was alone and lonely Oh, Claire, the idea of going on this picnic it's just perfect It's so great to spend some time together, just the two of us No distractions, away from everything I need you Claire I can't stop looking at your lips Claire and your eyes I have to kiss you Claire
