Editors Lullaby Lyrics

Lullaby Lyrics

On candystripe legs 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 shadow 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



Spiderman is always hungry

I spy something with this
