Broke gold toy soldiers lined up 1, 2, 3
Little kid and every thing I did just to save my paper queen
'Cause love won't let me go
No army's gonna save my soul
'Cause love won't let me go
Nothing in the closet
Nothing underneath the bed
Just the monsters in your head
I hear strange voices every step I take
No, you can't cross the ocean if you can't get past the break
Even if fear don't put you down
Oh, won't you lean on me while I'm around
No rope to hang the dead
No line to save the drowning man
Just the monsters in your head
Nothing in the closet
Nothing underneath the bed
Just the monsters in your head
Killer's eyes and painted faces
The Devil wants your soul, but Jesus saves
Traffic jam is an angry maze
The Devil wants your soul, but Jesus saves
Chutes and ladders, pick-up sticks
Counting cars and counting bricks
Driving past the ole five-and-dime
Can't get nothing for a nickel since a long, long time
I won't let you down
Nothing in the closet
Nothing underneath your bed
Just the monsters in your head
No rope to hang the dead
No line to save the drowning man
Just the monsters in your head
Love won't let you go
Love won't let you go
Little kid and every thing I did just to save my paper queen
'Cause love won't let me go
No army's gonna save my soul
'Cause love won't let me go
Nothing in the closet
Nothing underneath the bed
Just the monsters in your head
I hear strange voices every step I take
No, you can't cross the ocean if you can't get past the break
Even if fear don't put you down
Oh, won't you lean on me while I'm around
No rope to hang the dead
No line to save the drowning man
Just the monsters in your head
Nothing in the closet
Nothing underneath the bed
Just the monsters in your head
Killer's eyes and painted faces
The Devil wants your soul, but Jesus saves
Traffic jam is an angry maze
The Devil wants your soul, but Jesus saves
Chutes and ladders, pick-up sticks
Counting cars and counting bricks
Driving past the ole five-and-dime
Can't get nothing for a nickel since a long, long time
I won't let you down
Nothing in the closet
Nothing underneath your bed
Just the monsters in your head
No rope to hang the dead
No line to save the drowning man
Just the monsters in your head
Love won't let you go
Love won't let you go

Never much of a DM fan (ok as background noise). But I really like this one.
Oh lovely... A new DMB album 
What has happened to his voice? I can feel no irritation or digust. Nice song!

Rank Dave Matthews voice on an annoyance scale of 1 to 10 Rosie Perezes.

Scorn, mock, belittle Matthews all you want - God knows I have - but this is a good song.

So unfortunate
Another band I'd never heard of (perhaps because I'm in England) I'll be listening out for more of them, thank you RP. 7 for starters
This is the second tune by DMB that I've enjoyed. Worrying precedents are being set...
Fucking great tune by DM… he is an amazingly good song smith.
i don't mind this, but it does sound an awful lot like many others of his.
**EDIT - a day later, and this has been played twice more in 24 hrs. VERY heavy rotation.

Always great....
Dave Matthews is a victim of his own (past) success. Not a great song, but certainly not deserving of a sub-six rating.
