lyrics

We run in circles with a pocket full of posies
We dance under the full moon
There's a show tonight in Brementown
Pull out my guitar, watch them all fall down

No one can climb my hair I'd sooner cut it off
I'll figure out my own way down
You'll never see me eating ugly poisoned fruit
When I wake believe I only ask for truth

So what do you want me to say?
I'll misquote your nursery rhymes anyway
Three times I remembered your name
Stamp your foot in the ground and dig your own grave

All the King's horses and all the King's men won't wall me darling I'm my own Prince Charming

I've gone over the river and through the dark and haunted wood
To find some blonde bitch in my bed
She stuttered 'Oh my what big teeth you have'
Her last words heard 'Off with her head'

So what do you want me to say?
I'll misquote your nursery rhymes anyway
Three times I remembered your name
Stamp your foot in the ground and dig your own grave

So what do you want me to say?
This isn't your nursery rhyme anyway
Three times I remembered your name
Stamp your foot in the ground and dig your own grave

All the King's horses and all the King's men are dead
