The Cure - Lullaby
on candystripe legs spiderman
comessoftly through the shadow
of the evening sunstealing past the windows
of the blissfully deadlooking
for the victim shivering
in bedsearching out fear
in the gathering gloom andsuddenly!
a movement in the corner of theroom!
and there is nothing i can do
when irealise with freight that
the spiderman is havingme for dinner tonight
quietly he laughs and shaking his head
creepscloser now closer to the foot of the bed
andsofter than shadow and quicker
than flies
hisarms are all around me
and his tongue in myeyes
"be still be calm be quiet now
my preciousboy don't struggle
like that or i will only loveyou more
for it's much too late to get away or
turn on the light the spiderman
is having youfor dinner tonight
"and i feel like i'm being eaten
by a thousandmillion shivering furry holes
and i know that inthe morning
i will wake up in the shivering coldand the spiderman is always hungry...
