WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!
Early morning gun
Sharp echo in countryside
Russet feathers fall.
LURE
Haunting siren song
Echoes through the morning mist
Sailor's nemesis.
MIDNIGHT DREAMS
Midnight dreams take hold
World impossibly real
Pinch me and I’ll wake.
Done a freep ninl baby, preez done a freep
Done a freep ninl baby, preez done a freep
Done a freep ninl baby, preez done a freep
Done a freep ninl baby, preez done a freep
Done a freep, done a freep, done a freep, done a freep
Done a freep ninl baby, preez done a freep.
(Repeat All)
(Translation)
Go to sleep little baby, please go to sleep
Go to sleep little baby, please go to sleep
Go to sleep little baby, please go to sleep
Go to sleep little baby, please go to sleep
Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep
Go to sleep little baby, please go to sleep
Gather my remains from the noose you keep
Last of the darkened sheep
Stress minus satisfaction so I lose no sleep
A fallen sculpture from the noose you keep
Last of your darkened sheep
No apologies, for I shall lose no sleep
Another episode, epidemic
Pieces of my debt’d limit
Volts of electricity
The reception, should’ve filmed it
Another suspect misfits your description
As I sat back I realized
These spectators adore my addiction
Sudden changes would restore my ability
To produce nonfiction
A given charge and I’ll blow
Son of friction
Once again
Officer has chosen me to wrongly accuse
No mistakes
The privilege has been to longly abused
Swearing the good book, the got warrants
Monroe’s PD as scandalous as hot torrents
Illegally born
Another uniformed eagle torn
Blah Blah, just another kid blaming a cop
In your eye sight
I remain the criminal to be stopped
I’m everything you could never be
An image of purity, but doubt you’ll ever see
So gather my remains from the noose you keep
Hush, little child, sleep tight,
rest in thy deep slumber;
stay in these arms that hold you,
hush, peaceful angel, tonight.
Sleep and at dawn awaken
to meet the new day at sunrise,
but ere the bright stars disappear,
sleep, gentle baby, tonight.
Hush, little child, sleep tight,
rest in thy deep slumber;
close your eyes till tomorrow,
hush, sweet dreams, tonight.
