Patrick Wolf - The Childcatcher lyrics

[Patrick Wolf - The Childcatcher lyrics]

I was still a child when you caught me
And tied me to your bed
You gave me shoes and pretty clothes
And I gave you what I had between my legs
Just a rite of passage
You held me down and said
"I'm gonna be your rite of passage
So boy you better spread, spread em"

You said "run run run as fast as you can
But, you can't run run
From the childcatcher's hands
Run run run as fast as you can
But, you can't, I bet you can't"
And I wrote your name in
My shit across the town
To warn the kids of your bloodshed
When I chased you with a burning cross
My mother she wanted you dead

"Run run run as fast as you can
But, you can't run run from
Our law given hand"
She said "Run run run as fast as you can
But, you can't run run from
Our law given hand"
Said "Run run run as fast as you can
But, you can't run run" and
She said "run" said "run"

Run run run yeah run run run yeah
Run run run yeah oh oh

Run run run yeah run run run yeah
Run run run yeah oh oh

You said "well I've got no time for victims
And I don't think it was all that bad
And if you can't run to save yourself
Well then you deserve to be had
This is the age of constipation
This is the age of martyrdom
I think you even enjoyed it
I think I even saw you come"
He said "run run run as fast as you can
Run run run as fast as you can
Run run run as fast as you can
You can't catch me I'm the"
