[The Cure - Lullaby lyrics]

I spy with the corner of my little eye
Something beginning with "S"

On candy-stripe legs the spiderman 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 realise with fright
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

"Come into my parlor
" said the spider to the fly
"I have a little something here"
