Leave the Kid Alone

Once eden is gone

When summer has ended

And all of the children have grown

One slip of the tongue

Could turn to catastrophe

One we have already known

Leave the kid alone

Leave the kid alone

Leave the kid alone

Leave the kid alone

Is it the love you want

Pray tell little dreamer

Pray over these seeds we have sown

Or will you run away

Escape this tragedy

Now tell us where will you go

Do you recall a kind of place

Before we ever knew the taste

Of good and evil

When they were equal

Where we who sing and never age

And crawl upon an empty page

In rage primeval

In this cathedral

A pair of floating

Cherubs quoting

Children choking

Gates are closing soon

And so the flaming swords

Lock the gates of the garden

In holy eviction sealed

So now we

Leave the kid alone

Leave the kid alone

Leave the kid alone

Leave the kid alone
