When you show up like that,
what am I supposed to say...

Takes a while for the [bad word] to heal.
Oh you've got to escape,
before it's too late.

Children of the garden -
tangled in danger -
playing the smile,
and suffering... suffering alone

Daring a battle with the [bad word] ..
who's killing us slowly...

 [bad word]  [bad word] 

and slash the water bed
and slashed all her clothes
smashed all the crystal
and broke the window

 [bad word]  [bad word] 

Police won't arrive,
and I've hidden the scotch.
Oh that's made matters worse.
Now he's laughing at us.

Children of the garden -
tangled in danger -
playing the smile
and suffering... suffering alone

I'm praying for daybreak
I'm praying for peace
I'm praying for freedom
I'm praying she'll leave him...

And all i can do is
protect while i'm here now.
I won't go too far
I have nothing to fear.

Except when i am not here...

Now it's over,
the night won't return.
a phone call in search of her soul
I left her alone.
Why'd i leave her alone?...

 [bad word] 
 [bad word] ..

Children of the garden -
tangled in danger -
playing the smile,
suffering
and suffering alone.
