Music Man
fancy rats that follow
under the spell that is his song
he shall be back for them
when the children are long gone
through the woods he's coming
under the hex that is his song
he will never stop until
the children are long gone
look, look, a bridge is there
under the curse that is his song
laughing, smiling, gentle faces
while the children go long gone
jump, jump, if you dare
under the lie that is his song
rock impaled flesh, but that's not bad
because the children are long gone
