Hush little angel, won't you try

The devil hears you when you cry
 
So you can't and you won't
Give up the ghost now
Leave it alone
You know you don't need those lessons
Someone else learned
It's your life it's your right to burn
So you count and discount
All the cracks in the pavement
As you move about
You say that you'll take the push
For the sake of the pull
When you're deaf dumb and blind
Your eyes don't feel the wool
 
And every time it's
Hush little angel, won't you try
The devil hears you when you cry
Hush little angel close your eyes
Think pleasant dreams and truer lies
 
Oh, it's not like those tales of glass and devotion
They like to sell
Oh, you just want to be wanted
It's making you sick
But it's all right
Oh yeah, it's only a prick
 
And that's how you know that it's bad
It's the problem with pain
It's just something to have
Oh, babe you're running the clock
Cuz you can't make it stop
So just sit still and hope the hammer won't drop
 
And every time it's...
 
Hush little angel, won't you try
The devil hears you when you cry
Hush little angel close your eyes
Think pleasant dreams and bluer skies
 
Angel don't you cry
