When the Bough Breaks

歌詞

Wind up here is getting stiff Hits the branches, sends them adrift The cradle rocks, the cradle sways Sends the baby into a nauseous daze Who sets a bassinet up in a tree? That's one for you my friend, not for me. Here comes that creaking, cracking sound As every single thing comes tumbling down When the bough breaks I only hope I got a nice soft place to fall I hope it's quiet, and there's nobody there to hear my feeble call When the bough breaks, the branch's not the only thing thats gonna go If I'm still concious, I'll pick the pieces up and slowly stumble home Branches click like castanets Like a box of Milkbones that's been upset Everyone stands thunderstruck Too late the firestation sends a truck People stand around dumb with fright Cover childrens' eyes, prevent the sight Unwilling acrobat, unlikely trapeeze When the bough breaks I only hope I got a nice soft place to fall I hope it's quiet, and there's nobody there to hear my feeble call When the bough breaks, the branch's not the only thing thats gonna go If I'm still concious, I'll pick the pieces up and slowly stumble home
