When The Bough Breaks

Wind up here is getting stiff
 Hits the branches, sends them adrift
 The cradle rocks, the cradle sways
 Sends the baby into a nauseous daze
 Who sets a bassinet up in a tree?
 That's one for you my friend, not for me.
 Here comes that creaking, cracking sound
 As every single thing comes tumbling down
 When the bough breaks I only hope I got a nice soft place to fall
 I hope it's quiet, and there's nobody there to hear my feeble call
 When the bough breaks, the branch's not the only thing thats gonna go
 If I'm still concious, I'll pick the pieces up and slowly stumble home
 Branches click like castanets
 Like a box of Milkbones that's been upset
 Everyone stands thunderstruck
 Too late the firestation sends a truck
 People stand around dumb with fright
 Cover childrens' eyes, prevent the sight
 Unwilling acrobat, unlikely trapeeze
 When the bough breaks I only hope I got a nice soft place to fall
 I hope it's quiet, and there's nobody there to hear my feeble call
 When the bough breaks, the branch's not the only thing thats gonna go
 If I'm still concious, I'll pick the pieces up and slowly stumble home
