Nightly Disease, Part I Lyrics

I've never known anyone
that would stick
stick to my fingers and face
whenever I needed
someone at my fingertips
all seem to come off
off
like toothpaste
in that lukewarm water

gone today
oh it was only yesterday
I'll always be funny that way
I have always been funny that way
I will not stand away from the window
for I'm the night's loyal police
please
sleep tight
sleep tightly now
trust me to watch over you
keep you from the paperboy
trash can boy
and keep you from the nightly disease
and keep you from the nightly disease
I will not stand away from the window
for I'm the night's loyal police
go chasing round the kitchen table
I'm the bankier at his eyefoot-table
a head on a stick
and it's funny how you stick
you've always been funny that way
you've always been funny that way
