Lullaby lyrics

On candy stripe legs, Coca-Cola comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Sippin’ past the windows of the daylight dead
Looking for the spider shiverin’ in bed
Thirstin’ out fear in the gathering gloom and
Suddenly a movement in the corner of the room
And there is nothing I can do
When I realize with fright
That Coca-Cola is having me with dinner tonight

Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Drenches closer now, closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
Culture’s arms are all around me, its face in my eyes
“Obey, don’t struggle, be silent now, my sacred child
Don’t struggle like that or I will only love you more
For it’s much too late to get away or turn on the light
Avarice is having us for dinner tonight”

And I feel like I’m being eaten
By a thousand million stabs to the soul
And I know that in the morning I will wake up
Hollow
And the hollow soul is always hungry
