Ultraviolet lullaby Screaming in my broken mind Ultraviolet bullet holes Tearing through my broken soul
Little Johnny had to cry Purple teardrops in his eye King of England stole his crown Now he's on his way down Old man Davey walked away Using words he shouldn't say Cussing at the fractured sky Heaven only knows why
This ultraviolet lullaby burns inside our heads We hear it late at night when we are in bed It slips around corners we can't feel And away into the night it steals But I can't feel an end It's eating up my thoughts, my friend
Oh, sing a lullaby to set me to sleep Oh sing a lullaby to drown me in the deep Cause I am letting go I don't want to know
Pretty Sally wanders home Staring at the plants she's grown From her finger takes the ring Throws it where the nettles cling Old Miss Shaw, she looks outside Sneering at the willows wide Staring deep into the river Daughter died, wished she was with her
This ultraviolet lullaby burns inside our heads We hear it late at night when we are in bed It slips round corners we can't feel And away into the night it steals But I can't feel an end It's eating up my thoughts, my friend
Oh, sing a lullaby to set me to sleep Oh sing a lullaby to drown me in the deep Cause I am letting go I don't want to know
Ultraviolet lullaby Screaming in my broken mind Ultraviolet bullet holes Tearing through my broken soul (Scream)
Can't you see? Can't you hear the drums as it plays? The black light surrounding me Voices I hear, faces I don't see As I try to shake the fear It won't stop coming near It won't stop coming near The strings are all I hear
Oh, sing a lullaby to set me to sleep Oh, sing a lullaby to drown me in the deep Cause I am letting go I don't want to know
(Spoken) We're all mad here. You must be, or you wouldn't be here.
I don't want to know.
