[Boulton/Wright] Carousel of story time Children slumber in distant rhymes Sleepwalk of the living dead The rocking horse rears it's head Midnight masquerade Tin soldiers on parade A chill sweeps the children's room Colder than their mothers womb [Chorus] In the playroom of poison dreams I hear the children's poison screams The mystery is burning on and on [Bridge] We see the truth inside the lie I'm the spider, you're the fly The children see the meaning of the song And what's wrong, yeah Shadows fall across the wall A toy soldier bugle calls Nursery serenity Shattered by obscenity Puppets dance with burning strings A china doll sits up and sings Released from the statues stance Reborn in human form [Chorus] [Bridge] [Solo] Whoa - whoa - oh oh
