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 the tiny crack in the door Eyes so wide He's never seen a women fall on the floor
I swear daddy's killed her this time Shoulda made a run kid Shoulda tried to fly away Shoulda made a hammer Shoulda tried to smash his face Shoulda make a bullet Shoulda tried to shoot the gun I'm sure the judge will let me off real soon
Long ago When I sat and try 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 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 He can wait till daddy's nice and warm And toss it in
And then when he's gone There's a neverland of fun
Take a loaded gun Take the shot oh well Take the poison away There's a lesson in that No more cosing fists No more face to hits No more bloody nose Or apologetic notions
