"Struwwelpeter" lyrics - INKUBUS SUKKUBUS

Close your heavy eyes, my precious one,
Close them oh-so tight, my darling one.
The demons on the wall dance for you now,
Their fingers stretch and claw to reach you.

Run from demons, nightmare creatures,
Laughing men of longest limb.
Hide your feelings, ask forgiveness,
Pray that they won't take you in.

In the night's cold air you hear a call.
Has he said his prayers and blessed the poor?
A thousand voices whisper to you, so
You hide your head beneath the pillow.

Run from demons, nightmare creatures,
Laughing men of longest limb.
Hide your feelings, ask forgiveness,
Pray that they won't take you in.

Run from demons, nightmare creatures,
Laughing men of longest limb.
Hide your feelings, ask forgiveness,
Pray that they won't take you in.

Be a good boy now, don't suck your thumb.
Will it be there still when morning comes?
I'd like to tell you life is carefree, but
Those who're naughty should be wary and...

Run from demons, nightmare creatures,
Laughing men of longest limb.
Hide your feelings, ask forgiveness,
Pray that they won't take you in.

Run from demons, nightmare creatures,
Laughing men of longest limb.
Hide your feelings, ask forgiveness,
Pray that they won't take you in.

Run from demons, nightmare creatures,
Laughing men of longest limb.
Hide your feelings, ask forgiveness,
Pray that they won't take you in.

Run from demons, nightmare creatures,
Laughing men of longest limb.
Hide your feelings, ask forgiveness,
Pray that they won't take you in.

Run from demons, nightmare creatures,
Laughing men of longest limb.
Hide your feelings, ask forgiveness,
Pray that they won't take you in.

Run from demons, nightmare creatures,
Laughing men of longest limb.
Hide your feelings, ask forgiveness,
Pray that they won't take you in.
