You know what talk is cheap
  and those rumors ain't nice
  And when I fall asleep
  I don't think I'll survive
  the night, the night
  
  'cause they're waiting for me,
  they're looking for me
  Every single night (they're)
  Driving me insane
  those men inside my brain.
  
  The dream police
  they live inside in my brain
  The dream police
  they're come to me in my bed
  The dream police
  they're coming to arrest me oh no
  
  Well I can't tell lies 'cause
  they're listening to me
  And when I fall asleep bet
  they're spying on me
  tonight, tonight
  I try to sleep, they're wide awake
  They won't let me alone
  They don't get paid to take vacations
  Or let me alone
  
  They spy on me, I try to hide
  They won't let me alone
  They persecute me then they're
  judge and jury all in one
