Lyrics They Might Be Giants

They Might Be Giants

Lullaby To Nightmares

Have you ever seen a bloody head?

Glass in hand, lying up in bed

That's the time to sing this cowardly lullaby

And you ought to know why

Lullaby to nightmares, whispered low

In the night where batwings flow

That's where all the fright mares go

When the elephants die, wouldn't you like to try?

Have you ever heard the blackbird's song?

Summer days, all summer long

Underneath a shady tree a shadow sitting next to me

And we stare at the sun

Lullaby to nightmares, whispered low

In the night where batwings flow

That's where all the fright mares go

When the elephants die, wouldn't you like to try?
