The life and soul crys himself blind
For shorter life a sight for eyes
The life and soul dull as ditchwater

And swallow whole the birthright of a baby soul
Covers her baby with mothers hole


One day he's born and he likes the world
And all she holds she says she's round
And in the ground life all around

Life all around and it takes him down
The dark's too brown to see what's here
But it keeps him warm and it knows no fear

Like day or year

Poison in my idle mind

Makes quick work for the Mephistopheles
Who quickly makes his excuses
To heaven his own course he sets

With a mind to save his soul and mine
What's falling to thinking
Pretty girl, oblivion

Hostility and suspicion
So what creates competition
Pipe retracted stowed away


Cover the baby without thinking
As if to shield him with the wardenship of a jar

His mum will hide him away from all danger
But not very far, not very far


Sleeping quietly dreaming
The last moments of some
Medicine and national song

All upside down it came out wrong
And turned me on
It turned me on

It turns me sleeping quietly dreaming
The last moments of some drowning girls
And drowning boys

Bob up and down like stupid toys
They bob like you who loved me too
Who loved me just in time to


Cover the baby without thinking
As if to shield him with the wardenship of a jar

His mum will hide him away from all danger
But not very far, not very far
Cover the baby without thinking

As if to shield him with the wardenship of a jar
His mum will hide him away from the danger
But not very far, not very far
