hush little angel won't you try
the devil hears you when you cry
so you cant and you won't
give up the ghost now
leave it alone
you know you don't need those lessons
someone else learned
its your life its your right to burn
so you count and discount
all the cracks in the pavement
as you move about
you say that you'll take the push
for the sake of the pull
when you're deaf dumb and blind
your eyes don't feel the wool
and every time its
hush little angel won't you try
the devil hears you when you cry
think pleasant dreams and truer lies
oh its not like those talks
of glass and devotion
they like to sell
oh you just want to be wanted
its making you sick
but its alright
you yeah its only a prick
and that's how you know that its bad
that's the problem with
its just something to have
babe you re running the clock
cos you can't make it stop
so just sit still
and hope the hammer won't drop
and every time its
hush little angels won't you try
the devil hears you when you cry
think pleasant dreams and bluer skies
angel don't you cry
