lyrics

TURN THE SCREW

Lovely children tell me no lies,
'Cause I am wise enough to know!
The truth may be a thorny prize
But I'm sick of this shadow show,

Turn the screw, turn!

There's a lady on the lakeshore,
And a bad man at the window,
They shouldn't be there any more
They should be floating in Limbo,

Turn the screw, turn!

Wicked children, leave me alone,
I adored you but now I'm scared,
You've got blue eyes and hearts of stone,
You don't deserve the love I shared,

Turn the screw, turn!
