lyrics

It does no good to damn your eyes
For letting in all kinds of lies
Or showing more than they disguise.
Lully, lullay,
Your bed is green.

Each man's his own iconoclast
As days get done and past goes past
And it cares not if you're first or last.
Lully, lullay,
Your bed is green.

Go take the day to smithereens,
Its swollen tongues and dark machines
And grow a new one in your dreams.
Lully, lullay,
Your bed is green.

So there you were as here you are
Like the hollow bell in an all-night bar
From your ocean floor to your lightbulb star.
Lully, lullay,
Your bed is green.

The Furies laugh and shake their hair,
And doubts awaken everywhere;
Let them crowd around your bed and stare.
Lully, lullay,
Your bed is green.

Lully, Lully, lullay,
Your bed is green.
