Carousel of storytime
Children slumber in distant rhymes
Sleepwalk on the living dead
The rocking horse rears its head
Midnight masquerade
Tin soldiers on parade
A chill sweeps the children's room
Colder than their mother's womb
In the Playroom Of Poison Dreams
I hear the children's poisoned screams
The mystery is burning on and on
We see the truth inside the lie
I'm the spider, you're the fly
The children see the meaning of the song
And what's wrong?
Shadows fall across the wall
A toy soldier's bugle calls
Nursery surenity
Shattered by obscenity
Puppets dance with burning strings
A china doll sits up and sings
Released from the statue stand
Reborn in human form
In the Playroom Of Poison Dreams
I hear the children's poisoned screams
The mystery is burning on and on
We see the truth inside the lie
I'm the spider, you're the fly
The children see the meaning of the song
They know it, yeah!
