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.
