Lullaby Lyrics - Editors

On candystripe 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 

Photos 

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...
