The Cure - Lullaby

 
"On candystripe legs
The spiderman comes softly
Through the shadow of the evening
Sun stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom
And suddenly!
A movement in the corner of the room!
And there is nothing I can do
When I realise with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight

Quietly he laughs and shaking his head creeps
Closer now closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadows
And quicker than flies
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy don't struggle like that
or I will only love you more
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"

And I feel like I'm being eaten

By a thousand million
Shivering furry holes
And I know that in the morning
I will wake up in the shivering cold
And the spiderman is always hungry"
