| She had a criminal conversation with the devil
|
| On the back seat of a burned out Toyota Camry
|
| She said she’d finally found a way to start a family
|
| But not one soul could conceive that she was on the level
|
| And the strange thing was she didn’t seem to care
|
| He got what he came for and left her to kiss the air
|
| But the baby burned like bitumen inside her
|
| That inhuman son of a bitch never even called her
|
| The doctor said, 'It'll be some kind of daughter'
|
| She dreamed she gave birth to a thousand spiders
|
| Who crawled up to her ear and called her mother
|
| And whispered words of wonder from her other love
|
| There There, There There
|
| It’ll be all right, It’s just a dream
|
| A bad dream baby
|
| The days flew by like petals on a flower
|
| Until the hour she screamed out with a vengeance
|
| The busy father could not be in attendance
|
| Although he sent his people to the baby shower
|
| And her tiny eyes were brighter than the sun
|
| And shone upon her mother more than anyone
|
| There There, There There
|
| It’ll be all right, It’s just a dream
|
| A bad dream baby
|
| Now when mother dreams her dark and handsome stranger
|
| Good daughter brings her messages and money
|
| Changes dirt and dust to bread and honey
|
| The dowager’s reward for peopling the manger
|
| And that little girl is growing in this world
|
| You can tell she’ll always be her daddy’s girl
|
| You can tell she’ll always be her daddy’s little girl
|
| It’ll be all right, It’s just a dream
|
| A bad dream baby |
