Lullaby (4:28)

(Alice Cooper, J. Vallance)

(My boy, it`s getting late, I`ll raise the stakes
So close, control your fate, why hesitate, seal the deal, close the sale
take my hand, ....)

I was the boy who said all of my prayers
Laid my clean face on the pillow
Tucked in real tight, so safe and secure through the night
I heard a noise, it was probably nothing
It pulled me right out of a dream
If I knew it was you I'd have jumped out of bed with a scream

I am the one who growls in your closet
I am the one who lives under your bed

Get down - back where you started
Get down - back into hell
Your black soul, you know you're black hearted
I smell your sulfurous smell

All of my things that I play with in daylight You turn into monsters at night
My toys were my friends until you taught them all how to bite
You showed me things little boys shouldn't see
You scared me with visions of fire
You danced on my bed with the flames on your head dancing higher

I am the one who growls in your closet
I am the one who lives under your bed

Get down - back where you started
Get down - back into hell
Your black soul, you know you're black hearted
I smell your sulfurous smell

I tell ya right now I don't want your reptile embrace
I don't want to follow you down to your place
I don't want to be a child of disgrace
Oh....
You can take your whiskey soaked, faming at the mouth, toilet talking,
pea soup spewing, sweating blood demon breath out of my face

Get down - back where you started
Get down - back into hell
Your black soul, you know you're black hearted
I smell that brimstone...

Get down - back where you started
Get down - back into hell
Your black soul, you know you're black hearted
I smell that sulpher....

I was the boy who said all of my prayers
Laid my clean face on the pillow
Tucked in real tight, so safe and secure through the night
