Cooper Alice Lullaby Lyrics

Lullaby Lyrics

I was the boy who said all of my prayers
Laid my clean face on the
pillow
Tucked in real tight, so safe and secure
Through the night
I
heard a noise, it was probably nothing
It pulled me right out of a
dream
If I knew it was you
I'd have jumped out of bed with a scream
I
am the one who growls in your closet
I am the one who lives under your
bed
CHORUS
Get down - back where you started
Get down - back into
hell
Your black soul, you know you're
black hearted
I smell your
sulfurous smell
All of my things that I play with in daylight
You turn
into monsters at night
My toys were my friends
Until you taught them all
how to bite
You showed me things little boys shouldn't see
You scared me
with visions of fire
You danced on my bed
With the flames on your head
dancing higher
I am the one who growls in your closet
I am the one who
lives under your bed
CHORUS
I tell ya right now
I don't want your
reptile embrace
I don't want to follow you down
to your place
I don't
want to be a child of disgrace
You can take your whiskey soaked,
foaming
at the mouth, toilet talking, pea soup
spewing, sweating blood
demon breath out
of my face
CHORUS
I was the boy who said all of my
prayers
Laid my clean face on the pillow
Tucked in real tight, so safe
and secure
Through the night
