A LULLABY           96




Toymaker in town today, he'll make your dreams come true
Children hush and listen now, he'll tell you what to do
He'll tell you all a bedtime story, are you settled down?
About the spikes he puts behind the sad face of your clown

And ragged dolls who dream all day, watch clockwork soldiers drill
Put them in a little house, wind them up and they will kill
Ride your rocking horse until you see through other eyes 
Pull off the head of baby sister when she starts to cry

Your parents can't remember how it was when they were young
So there's no need to obey them and stop having your fun
Lock them in their bedroom when they smack you for a liar
Hide and seek with life and death, let's play a game with fire

One two three four five six seven, your friends come out to play
All good children go to Heaven, so help them on their way.
