Lullaby

I spy
A winding lie
Something beginning with

Candy stripe looks
Spiderman comes
Softly through the shadows of the evening

Softness slipping across the windows of the blissful bed
Looking for the feet of a shivering shining man
Searching the night through
In the cafe of gloom
And something crawled over in the corner of the room
And there's nothing I can do
And I realized it was flying
It was Spiderman
He's having me for dinner tonight

So quietly he laughs
Shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the footpost of the bed
And softer than a shadow
He curled up tight
His arms around me
And his tongue in my eyes

Shh, boy, be quiet now
I'll punish you
Don't struggle like that
I will only harm you
Boys, what you doing?
Leave, leave, get away
Turn on the light

Spiderman is having me for dinner tonight
And I feel like currying
Like a thousand shivering, unfriendly holes
Moonlight in the morning
I wake up in a shivering cold
And the Spiderman is always hungry

Come into my parlor, boys
Spiderman flies home
My head is full of fantasy
