When you show up like that
What am I supposed to say?
It takes awhile for the bruises to heal
Oh you’ve got to escape
Before it’s too late
Children of the garden
Tangled in danger
Playing that smile
And suffering alone
I’m daring the battle
With a bastard who’s killing us slowly
Sleepless commotion, sleepless commotion
Well he slashed the waterbed
And he slashed all her clothes
He smashed all the crystal
And broke the wind ows
Sleepless commotion, sleepless commotion
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 that smile
And suffering alone
I’m praying for daybreak
I’m praying for peace
I’m praying for freedom
