Lullaby by The Cure

On candy stripe legs the spider man 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 realize with freight
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
