A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

I'm a die hard Radiohead fan, and for YEARS I thought that the song "Go to Sleep" went like this:

Something for the rag and bone man
Over my dead body
Something WEIRD is gonna happen
Over my dead body

Someone SAW someone's daughter
Over my dead body
This is how I end up getting sucked in
Over my dead body

I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash all over me

We don't wanna monster taking over
Tiptoe round tie him down
We don't want the loonies taking over
Tiptoe round tie them down

I'm gonna go to sleep
And let this wash all over me
I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash
All over me


REAL LYRICS:
Something for the rag and bone man
Over my dead body
Something big is gonna happen
Over my dead body

Someone's son or someone's daughter
Over my dead body
This is how I end up getting sucked in
Over my dead body

I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash all over me

We don't wanna wake monster taking over
Tiptoe round tie him down
We don't want the loonies taking over
Tiptoe round tie them down

May pretty horses
Come to you
As you sleep
I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash
All over me
