Lyrics
What has happened, doesn't matter -
You are here
What has happened, doesn't matter,
What the future holds, we'll never see
Cry, cry, baby, on my name -
My enemy is fear.
Come, come, baby, be with me,
I promise you'll be hurt.
O the children have gone wild,
Feels so good to see them play.
Neverending games will end,
Dogs will bark and scare the kids away.
Cry, cry, baby, on my name -
The enemy is fear.
Come, come, baby, be with me,
I promise you'll be hurt.
Cry, cry, baby, on my name -
My enemy is fear.
Come, come, baby, be with me,
I promise you'll be hurt
Until the stars eat dirt.
The town we went to is asleep,
Morning pays its dues 'til stars give up.
When it's over, you will freak -
You will know you, too, have been a star.
Cry, cry, baby, on my name -
Your enemy is fear.
Come, come, baby, be with me,
I promise I'll be near.
Cry, cry, baby, on my name -
My enemy is fear.
Come, come, baby, be with me,
I promise I'll be near
Until the stars eat dirt
