The Cure
Lullaby
Transcribed by: Amsco Publications - Disintegration Songbook
Bass TAB by: BOSTIK
C#m7
on candystripe legs the spiderman comes
Asus2
softly through the shadow of the evening sun
C#m7 (etc..)
stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
looking for the victim shivering in bed
searching 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 realise with fright
that the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!
quietly he laughs and shaking his head creeps
closer now closer to the foot of the bed and
softer than shadow and quicker than flies his
arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
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
the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"
F#7sus4
and i feel like i'm being eaten by a thousand
Asus2
million shivering furry holes
F#7sus4 Asus2
and i know that in the morning i will wake up in the shivering cold
C#m-A-C#m...
and spiderman is always hungry. . .
