When you show up like that,

what am I supposed to say...



Takes a while for the bruises 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 bastard...

who's killing us slowly...



Sleepless commotion

Sleepless commotion



and slash the water bed

and slashed all her clothes

smashed all the crystal

and broke the window



Sleepless commotion

Sleepless comomotion



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?...



Sleepless commotion,

Sleepless commotion...



Children of the garden -

tangled in danger -

playing the smile,

suffering

and suffering alone.
