| ORIGINAL LYRICS | PARODY LYRICS |
|---|---|
| Hush now, don't you cry | Hush now, don't you cry |
| Wipe away the teardrop from your eye | Wipe away the teardrop from your eye |
| You're lying safe in bed | You’re on the internet |
| It was all a bad dream spinning in your head | News of covid 19 spinning in your head |
| Your mind tricked you to feel the pain | Your mind tricked you to feel the pain |
| Of someone close to you leaving the game of life | Of someone close to you leaving the game of life |
| So here it is, another chance | So here it is, another chance |
| Wide awake you face the day | Wide awake you face the day |
| Your dream is over or has it just begun? | The news is over, or has it just begun? |
| There's a place I like to hide | There’s a CDC report. |
| A doorway that I run through in the night | A two percent chance you're all gunna die |
| Relax child, you were there | Relax child, you’ll be safe, |
| But only didn't realize and you were scared | as long as you just lay low, stay inside. |
| It's a place where you will learn | It's a world where you will learn |
| To face your fears, retrace the years | To wash your hands, don’t touch your face, |
| And ride the whims of your mind | And sanitize your life |
| Commanding in another world | And don’t you dare to breathe the air |
| Suddenly you hear and see | Or suddenly, you hear and see |
| This magic new dimension | This crazy new dimension |
| CHORUS | CHORUS |
| I’ll be watching over you | I’ll be steering clear from you |
| I’m gonna help you see it through | This is more than just the flu |
| I’ll protect you in the night | Wear protective gear real tight |
| I’m smiling next to you, in silent lucidity | Social distancing from you, in silence and loneliness |
| SECOND VERSE | SECOND VERSE |
| If you open your mind for me | If you read from the CDC |
| You won't rely on open eyes to see | You’ll know you can’t inject skin with UV (or sanitizer) |
| The walls you built within | And the prices of the gasoline |
| Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin | Come tumbling down, and you can’t even leave |
| Living twice at once you learn | At the same time you will learn |
| You're safe from pain in the dream domain | That airfare is...the lowest yet |
| A soul set free to fly | A soul set free to fly |
| A round trip journey in your head | A round trip journey on a jet |
| Master of illusion, can you realize | A thousand dollar unemployment check to spend |
| Your dream's alive, (you can be the guide) but | I could leave the house, but |
| CHORUS | CHORUS |
| I’ll be watching over you | I’ll be steering clear from you |
| I’m gonna help you see it through | This is more than just the flu |
| I’ll protect you in the night | Wear protective gear real tight |
| I’m smiling next to you, in silent lucidity | Social distancing from you, in silence and loneliness |
