When the Bough Breaks - Johnny Socko

Wind up here is getting stiff

Hits the branches, sends them adrift

The cradle rocks, the cradle sways

Sends the baby into a nauseous daze

Who sets a bassinet up in a tree?

That’s one for you my friend, not for me

Here comes that creaking, cracking sound

As every single thing comes tumbling down

When the bough breaks I only hope I got a nice soft place to fall

I hope it’s quiet, and there’s nobody there to hear my feeble call

When the bough breaks, the branch’s not the only thing thats gonna go

If I’m still concious, I’ll pick the pieces up and slowly stumble home

Branches click like castanets

Like a box of Milkbones that’s been upset

Everyone stands thunderstruck

Too late the firestation sends a truck

People stand around dumb with fright

Cover childrens' eyes, prevent the sight

Unwilling acrobat, unlikely trapeeze

When the bough breaks I only hope I got a nice soft place to fall

I hope it’s quiet, and there’s nobody there to hear my feeble call

When the bough breaks, the branch’s not the only thing thats gonna go

If I’m still concious, I’ll pick the pieces up and slowly stumble home
