Imagine a crowded station
The hustle bustle of a nation
The hurried avoiding the slow
Beggars ‘n tramps never seem to go
Been staring at the buzzing crowd
Going up ‘n down, in and out
And in this sea of color, guys
I see that pair of beautiful eyes
Hush, little baby, cuddle me now
Dogs bark, birds whistle, cats meow
Tears dry, fears fly, when I draw you close
And as I take my pills, yes two’s the dose
I dance with you in the orange light
Grotesque shadows swing’n the night
The rain left a shimmer on the cobbled street
Reflecting your love I need
I take your head with both my hands
Kiss your lips and feel your glance
Oh, I’m hypnotized
Haunted by those beautiful eyes
Hush, little baby, cuddle me now
Dogs bark, birds whistle, cats meow
Tears dry, fears fly, when I draw you close
And as I take my pills, yes two’s the dose
Tenderly I strip your white lace gown
Hold you gently, when I put you down
Folded like a baby, asleep
Folded, I softly weep
Hush, little baby, cuddle me now
Dogs bark, birds whistle, cats meow
Tears dry, fears fly, when I draw you close
And as I take my pills, yes two’s the dose
