LYRICS
作词 : HAYES, DARREN/SHAVE, JUSTIN GEORGE
作曲 : Hayes, Shave
Long ago'
When Mercury descended high on the moon.
Far below'
When little hands are making shapes in the room.
The shadows' they dance-
And they cheer up this place.
The face-
That's staring through a tiny crack in the door.
Eyes so wide-
He's never seen a woman fall on the floor.
I swear daddy's killed her this time.
Should I make a rocket-
Should I try to fly away?
Should I make a hammer-
Should I try to smash his face?
Should I make a bullet-
Should I try to shoot the gun?
I'm sure the judge will let me off real soon.
Long ago'
When Saturn tried to find a way past the sun.
Deep inside'
A little boy is turning pain into fun.
The pencils' the crayons' the paint colors run.
The plans'
Are forming slowly' made with scissors and glue.
Eyes so wide-
He's telling mommy all the things he can do.
He'll sketch a contraption to save them for sure.
He can draw an alien-
He can come and take them home.
He can draw a cartoon-
He can draw a safety hatch.
He can draw a hot bath-
He can plug a toaster in'
And wait till daddy's nice and warm-
Toss it in.
And then' when he's gone-
There's a neverland of fun.
Take a loaded gun-
Take a shot of rum.
Take a poison rat-
There's a lesson in that.
No more closing fists-
No more face to hit.
No more bloody nose-
Or apologetic roses.
Long ago'
When Mercury descended high on the moon.
Should I make a rocket-
Should I try to fly away?
Far below'
hands Little are making shapes in the room.
Should I make a hammer-
Should I try to smash his face?
Long ago'
When Saturn tried to find a way past the sun.
Should I draw a cartoon-
Should I draw an alien?
Deep inside'
A little boy is turning pain into fun-
Should I draw a hot bath-
Should I throw the toaster in?
