LYRICS:
there’s a killer lurking in our midst.
i turn my cheek but he still kissed me on the lips.
i wouldn’t let him touch me there.
daddy’s got a big black heart,
daddy took it far too far.
he didn’t know i was scared.
...and he takes this little hand
leads me to the neverland.
how ever could he understand?
daddy’s got a big black car
parked it by the old schoolyard
he’s gonna take you for a ride.
jagged shadows in the waterpark
the kiddie-pool’s got a shark
and there’s candyfloss blown on the slides.
the bruises bloom bible-belt-black
but the photos never seem to come back...
glitter on the dansette.
“wanna be in my gang?”
there’s no future to rescind.
someone pissing in the gene pool
can you feel it rage inside you?
my beautiful
wunderkind.
there’s a killer living in our home
read me stories and cursed my mom
could he screw me up as good as you?
black marks in the book of rules
but his primary colours had us all fooled
bouncy castles have their blind spots too.
...where he takes this little head
fills it up with something bad
i just wanna be a man.
lost boys on the crystal set.
“hello, hello, it’s good to be back”.
do you know something I don’t?
ice-creams off the radar,
where the hopscotch lines have faded.
malice in kinderland.
now the wounds are healing
and i’ve outgrown all my playthings
he can seek and i go hide.
now if i push you on the playground swings
make you sing the songs i used to sing
then there’s a killer
lurking deep inside.
