Stay forever play while their world wastes away where till this day our bones long submerged lay And may together our souls never stray from where the water fades into the grey Down they all fell trapped in time victims of their own nursery rhyme Theyll never tell what did they find dancing around the well that night Lets never grow up thats what the cat said while batting around its own detached head Well stay awake when adults are in bed since were pretending why dont we play dead Therell be no more sick and no more grieving after all arent we just make believing At that last question it flashed a wide grin and with a clawed paw it kicked the head in Stay forever play while their world wastes away where till this day our bones long submerged lay And may together our souls never stray from where the water fades into the grey Dolls that we dug up from the damp earth circle the table served ladies first Dressed in their Sundays best and of course rags around sores which no longer hurt Tipping their tea cups still we suppose its not the flavor they would have chose Nor was the water drawn from our well when the entire township fell ill And the adults all took to their rooms abandoning their children too soon We have been waiting all these long years to entertain some new visitors Down they all fell trapped in time victims of that old nursery rhyme Theyll never tell what did they find dancing around the well that night Lets never grow up thats what the cat said while batting around its own detached head Well stay awake when adults are in bed since were pretending why dont we play dead Therell be no more sick and no more grieving after all arent we just make believing At that last question it flashed a wide grin and with a clawed paw it kicked the head in Stay forever play while their world wastes away where till this day our bones long submerged lay And may together our souls never stray from where the water fades into the grey Down they all fell trapped in time victims of that old nursery rhyme Theyll never tell what did they find dancing around the well that night
