There was a beast with one big eye
You took his sight away
You carved a tree into an instrument
You poked his eye away
There was a fluffy flock of sheep
You ate them for a meal
There was a baby blue citadel
You tumbled it down from the hill
There was a world of ladies & you
You took their men away
You put your body on their bodies
You wrapped them up in chains.
I thought that maybe you could hide your anger from me
Thought that maybe baby you could shake it like a daddy for me
There was a man named Lucifer
There was a man named You
You shouted taunts at a cyclops till
He threw a hill at you.
I’ve got a big idea for you
I’ve got another way
Wash the entrail from your hands
Place your hands upon your legs
Write my name on your notebook where
It used to bear the name of you
Drop my words like seeds on the earth
Where it once bore the words of you
I thought that maybe you could hide your anger for me
Thought that maybe baby you could shake it like a daddy for me
Because the sky has started turning & the sun is slowly slipping away
And I think that you would shake it down daddy if you wanted to stay
Bow down to the one you serve
Bow down to me
I can’t hear nothing when you’re on your back
You gotta be crawling on your knees
Bury your prayers into the earth
Lower them down into the sea
Lift your arms like a lightening rod
Lift your arms to me.
I thought that maybe you could hide your anger for me
Thought that maybe baby you could shake it like a daddy for me
Because the sky has started turning & the sun is slowly slipping away
And I think that you would shake it down daddy if you wanted to stay
