The Cure - Lullaby

That the Spiderman is having me for dinner tonight

On candy stripe legs the Spiderman comes

And the Spiderman is always hungry

Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy

Stealin' past the windows of the blissfully dead

His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes

The Spiderman is having me for dinner tonight

By a thousand million shivering furry holes

Looking for the victim shivering in bed

Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more

Creeps closer now, closer to the foot of the bed

And I feel like I'm being eaten

Searchin' out fear in the gathering gloom

Quietly he laughs and shaking his head

Softly through the shadow of the evenin' sun

And there is nothing I can do when I realize with fright

And softer than shadow and quicker than flies

And suddenly a movement in the corner of the room

And I know that in the morning

I will wake up in the shivering cold

For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
