Bedtime Stories -Matthew Lien
Everything is so unclear how could we ever let this happen here
And with the turn of every page another picture worth a thousand tears
Reading on with great dismay another tanker has lost Its way
And ninety million gallons spilled into the sea today
Dont make me tell bedtime stories
Bout how it was when the Earth still had trees
Dont make me tell bedtime stories
Livinin a world of why and might have been
Tellinall about how I remember when
You can see it everywhere were adding colour to our atmosphere
Still we let the fires burn we havent got a lot of room up there
Now it seems this whole affair is burninholes in an ozone layer
Well maybe Im mistaken but dont we need to breathe this air
Dont make me tell bedtime stories
But how it was when the Earth still had trees
Dont make me tell bedtime stories
Livinin a world of why and might have been
Tellinall about how I remember when
Think Its time we recongnize weve got a problem in paradise
Angels fall from troubled skies wolves lay bleeding out upon the ice
Some would say 'just carry on close your eyes now and dont think twice'
Given our direction this doesnt really seem like sound advice
Dont make me tell bedtime stories
But how it was when the Earth still had trees
Dont make me tell bedtime stories
Livinin a world of why and might have been
Tellinall about how I remember when
