Hush-a-bye

Hush-a-bye,
The angels are sleeping outside.
Hush-a-bye,
They can hear you scream.
Hush-a-bye,
The angels can see you cry.

The pretty little angels smile,
Even when you cry.
The pretty little angels laugh,
Even when you’re sad.
The pretty little angels dance,
Even when you die.

Hush-a-bye,
The angels don’t want you.
Hush-a-bye,
They want to fly away.
Hush-a-bye,
The angels want to break you.

The pretty little devils laugh,
Even when you cry.
The pretty little devils smile,
Even when you’re sad.
The pretty little devils live,
Even when you die.

Hush-a-bye,
The angels want to go.
Hush-a-bye,
They want to leave you all alone.
Hush-a-bye,
The angels hold your life.

And the pretty little angels
Drop your heart.
