The Johnny that lurks / Cabbage patch Johnny

My vocal chord will spin
Time woven by the gentle hand of Mother
Apple cores and may flies swoop

A gentleman fishing over yonder
Grasping his offspring tight
Yet grasping his rod tighter

In the distance a bicycle bell
Girls with grazed knees
Spitting on doc leaves

Flowers fail to grow today
The sun has died
Where did my diary go?
And who threw this condom over the fence?

Tiger, Tiger

Tiger one to tiger two
Tiger one says I love you
Tiger two does not reply
So tiger one, he starts to cry

Tiger two says why you cry?
Tiger one says 'you did not reply'
Tiger two says I need not to
Tiger one says why?

Tiger two says i love you
Tiger one says i love you too
Tiger one says why oh why?
Why didnt you reply?

Tiger two says I love you
I don't have to say it
You know its true
Now you know the reason why
Tiger two did not reply

Spinning top of evil

That spinning top of evil
Was a present once for me

He's faster than the last time
I'm gagged and tied and bound
The top is moving through the night
Invisble to the eye
He's spinning closer every day
His evil presence is nigh

I go to bed at night time
With matchstick in my eyes
