Lullaby To Nightmares Lyrics

Have you ever seen a bloody head
Egg glass in hand lying up in bed
That's the time to sing this cowardly lullabye
and you ought to know why

Lullabye to nightmares, whisper low
In the night when bat wings flow
That's where all the frightmares go
When the elephants die
Would you like to try

Have you ever heard the blackbird song
Summer days all summer long
Underneath the shady tree
A shadow sitting next to me
And we stare at the sun
