They Might Be Giants — Lullaby To Nightmares lyrics

Lyrics

Have you ever seen a bloody head?
Glass in hand, lying up in bed
That’s the time to sing this cowardly lullaby
And you ought to know why
Lullaby to nightmares, whispered low
In the night where batwings flow
That’s where all the frightmares go When the elephants die
Wouldn’t you like to try?
Have you ever heard the blackbird’s song?
Summer days, all summer long
Underneath a shady tree a shadow sitting next to me And we stare at the sun
Lullaby to nightmares, whispered low
In the night where batwings flow
That’s where all the frightmares go When the elephants die
Wouldn’t you like to try?
